    Picked up a a Redd basic...

    Hi All, I picked up a Redd basic kit over from Happy Vaper. You get one charged battery, and empty carto for like 10 bucks. I couldn’t justify spending $100 on the whole kit having started on an 808 when I first got into vaping and was always just "ok" with the performance of them, however I...

    this is why i don't get it about DR lie's about vaping

    What I find most interesting about vaping is, the fact I can put it down, even for days at a time and not go bonkers like I would with cigarettes. I tend to use my PV more at work, as I dont like to keep the stuff at home with a little one running arround. I go the whole weekend without...

    Periodontal Disease and a new Dentist

    Boo hoo. :glare: Well in fairness, I should have said "most dentists". I ready your initial reply to this thread and was impressed with your post, which makes you differ from a some of the dentists I have delt with in the past, nothing personal. Then you pull a Dentist move and get all...

    More wacky (BP-related?) issues

    i was on that for a while as well and stopped cause it made me dizzy too. i started wih 25mg once daily then dropped to 12 ( half a pill). apparently thats one of the more well tollerated meds. ask you dr about lowering your dosage, twice daily seems high.

    More wacky (BP-related?) issues

    no worries. just curious, what med did the dr put you on? one thing to remember about bp, it can very based on many factors and its not odd to see differences in readings. i think the 12mg is a step in the right direction.

    Periodontal Disease and a new Dentist

    i hate dentists. these are the same .......s that put fillings made with mercury in our mouths. i belive the lot of them use scare tacticts to get you in there more often. it took me a while to find one i trust, but i would tell this person where to go and find a new one. if you can afford...

    More wacky (BP-related?) issues

    im like you, on the borderline of high 135/89 ish. mr doc wants me to go on meds but im very hesitant. i also can feel when my bp is on the high side, with the very same symptoms. (usually head dizzy/pressure thing). if you have recently quit cigs, your body will be adjusting itself so you...

    Gym, Cardio, Oxygen Uptake and Ecigs

    Im no Doctor, Im just curious. What were you vaping PG/VG? Where you doing any flavor? What is the Nic Content? How much do you vape? You are inhaling stuff to the lungs, when lungs arent really supposed to be inhaling anything excepct oxygen. Fact is we still dont have concrete proof...

    Further research on e cigs in Korea

    what I always find interesting is: We are all educated and in agreement that smoking cigarettes - long term, has known and proven consequences, and is luck of the draw. (stroke, heart attack, COPD, death etc). Yet cigarettes are still produced, not banned and still consumed! What the heck...

    Vaping & Panic Attacks

    Panic, is a pain in the ... Have had panic issues since my teenage years. I can tell you what I went through and hopefully you can control your panic. Quitting smoking CAN give you panic attacks (it did for me) As you go through withdrawls you can be a mess. For me: ecigs CAN give you panic...

    Shortness of Breath -- Is this normal?

    Everyone wants their cake and eat it too when it comes to vaping. We all wish that this was not doing any damage. My initial reaction to what your DR said is to panic, but then again, cigarettes are full with Tar and all other crap. Ever smoke in side? Ever see the walls, and just how gross...
