    Weird situation

    OP - i would stop vaping and see my GP if i were in the same position as you. You are more likely to have caught a bug from the seller than been harmed by a minute amount of silica dust. Back in the day us oldies used to breathe in half a pound of talcum powder after our yearly baths...... O/T A...

    Out of date juice

    'Best before' dates on eliquid are generally 2 years after manufacture. Why ? No-one knows because no tests have ever been done on what the difference is between 1 yr old liquid and 5 yr old liquid.... I've vaped homebrew after 4 years and it's been fine. I've also vaped 1 year old liquid that...

    VERY short-term breathlessness

    Op - really good advice from everyone - match the nicotine to the device. .................. When the TPD came into effect in Europe with the 20MG restriction on any vaping liquids everyone was up in arms about the draconian ruling (including me)... Then you read a post like this one. Save us...

    OMG I just about died laughing!!!!

    Heads up, ".........It’s now well established that PG isn’t good for cats, and this is because of its effect on the red blood cells: it increases the quantities of “Heinz bodies” among them. These are basically lumps of hemoglobin that have been “denatured,” meaning that they’ve lost their...

    Why would anyone vape max PG?

    I have had my cholesterol levels checked regurlarly for the last 5 years due to a heart condition. Vaping high VG liquids has made no discernable difference to the results. I've abstained from vaping prior to tests and i've vaped minutes before a test in the past (mainly due to reading similar...

    How Many Mods Have Died On You?

    Joyetech VTC mini - 6 weeks Ipv 2 - 3 weeks Provari mini - 9 months Considering i have a LOT of mods and each one gets used on average for around 10 minutes a day (used as in actually providing power to a device) that equates to; Joyetech - 7 hours Ipv - 3.5 hours Provari - 2 days And pretty...

    To all you vapers in the UK area, can you help me?

    The introduction of the TPD has been a boon for vapers in the UK thanks to 'bottle shots' and 'shortfills'. Prior to the implementation £10-£15 for 30ml appeared to be the norm for pre-made liquid and ready mixed flavours were few and far between. Now the average price for 30ml has dropped to...

    Experienced restricted DTL/loose MTL-ers, what setups do you enjoy?

    Dvarw tank in its many forms - superb MTL with optional airflow adaptors. I cannot fault the two clone versions i bought for MTL. Due to the top filling these may even surpass the Doggystyle for me.

    Ever mix and match vape gear?

    Stainless extension ring on my satin finish P3 looks rather nice. I wouldn't leave the house with it though - far too blingy...... I'm fairly certain i have never bought a kit (for myself) ever. Seems a good way for a manufacturer to shift a load of meh atomisers with the latest and greatest...

    First vape related death

    Very sad news...... The interview with the vape shop owner annoyed me. What was with the blowing a cloud into the camera about ? Seemed to trivialise the whole article and came across as sleazy. Maybe it's just me.

    Gradual Decreasing Smoke (I'm Sorry For Asking These Again!)

    Start by convincing your brain that there is no difference between vaping and smoking - it's all nicotine. Use a device that mimics the volume of smoke from a cigarette. Look forward to a vape and not a cigarette after a period of abstinence... Put your anxiety into perspective. Trust me...

    Gradual Decreasing Smoke (I'm Sorry For Asking These Again!)

    Willpower is needed. Cutting down by 1 cigarette a day worked for me but also had me thinking about smoking constantly (how many have i smoked today ?) it's a two edged sword... Eventually i just stopped smoking and switched to full time vaping - along with at least 8-9 cups of tea a day ! For...

    generic replacement coils

    With FT you just need to read the reviews - some seem 'as good as the authentic' some not so much... Personally i havn't had any luck with 'clone' coils but it's been several years since i bought any.

    Why people blow vape "back to atty"?

    I sort of do it but i'm not blowing back into the atty. I'll start to draw then release a bit through my nose then continue to draw. I get a fuller pull that way. I can't remember when i started doing it, it seemed natural at the time and just stuck (i may have seen PBusardo doing it years ago...

    Different offerings in the US and GB by Blu?

    Interesting price variations too..... Maybe they're trialing it in the UK or maybe it's for TPD compliance ?

    Provari power button?

    https://www.digikey.com/product-detail/e...ND/1003967 Edit - i thought you meant the actual electrical switch button. Sorry. As for the plastic button itself i'd just whittle one out of some handy plastic or use a button from an obsolete electrical appliance/gizmo. Could even see if someone has...

    authentic iStick Pico 75w Kit

    If you're prepared to wait for shipping then i'd use one of the many Chinese sites. The price will depend on who has the biggest 'sale' on that day - FastTech, Gearbest, Heavens Gifts..... Whatever you do don't be tempted by Ebay - too many fakes. Being from the UK i can't help with USA sites so...

    Phlegm

    Cilia- That got me thinking; As a smoker i'd cough up detrirus from my lungs - the act of inhaling cigarette smoke actively deadens those cilia and would allow all that nastiness to sit where it shouldn't. Hence the coughing. Now i vape i find that instead of actually coughing up mucus it just...

    Phlegm

    In my experience (albeit with high VG liquid) - up to 5-6ml a day = phlegm free, over 6ml a day = the occasional oyster. All that VG has to go somewhere. Good news is that any throat jelly now is clear as a mountain stream !!

    Curious about vaping after oral bone graft surgery

    Everyone will tell you not to vape following any oral surgery. All i can say is i had the same procedure (graft and implant) and vaped the whole time. That was 4 years ago and i've not had a problem either then or since. I used a MTL device at 15 watts using 18MG nicotine. My advice to you is...
