    Nicotines Active State

    It is not the temperature that increases the amount of nicotine you're inhaling. It's the amount of vapor produced, which comes mostly from the surface area of the coils and wick that are heating up. The nautilus atomizer has a tiny surface area and produces much less vapor, so you need a...

    New atrocity perpetrated by ANTZ

    "DATA SYNTHESIS: A total of 6 clinical studies were included in the review. In small studies, e-cigarettes significantly decreased desire to smoke, number of cigarettes smoked per day, and exhaled carbon monoxide levels. Symptoms of nicotine withdrawal and adverse effects were variable. The most...

    Vapor sticking to surfaces around you...

    The amount of nicotine in exhaled vapor is so minimal that there's no reason to believe it will cause any health problems, even in babies. Even after vaping in the same room for a year, I'm willing to bet there's less nicotine built up in your carpet than there is in an average tomato :)

    Addiction Replacement

    I began vaping to replace smoking, and I've been very successful in that :) now that I've been vaping for a while, I've found that the flavors from vaping can be a useful replacement for unnecessary snacking. I gained some weight recently because of snacking, mostly on chips and oreo cookies...

    Nic level.... help!

    My adv for dripping is 9 mg ;) mix one of your 12 mg and one of your 6 mg together half and half, and give that a shot. It gives you a good amount of nicotine, but it's not too harsh on the lungs like 12 mg can be. Very nice looking setup btw :)

    Nic level.... help!

    The quick "hit" you get from smoking, that rush, isn't just from the nicotine. You are inhaling a slew of chemicals that's adding to the sensation - in addition to the alkaloids and additives I described earlier, you are also getting a buzz from carbon monoxide and oxygen deprivation. The...

    Did I brun my throat with a hot vapor hit

    I don't believe this is common, since you asked... at least I haven't heard of that happening to anyone I know. However, you said you've had reactions to PG in the past, so is it possible there was a little more PG in that juice than you can handle? When you drip you're inhaling a lot more...

    Nic level.... help!

    It sounds like you're doing great :) take your time with it. Many people do need to vape more than they used to smoke at first, that is normal. The effect you get from smoking comes from the nicotine combined with a bunch of other chemicals, some that are naturally part of tobacco (alkaloids)...

    Anybody got a subscription to New Scientist?

    I don't, but judging by the infograph included with the article (which is too small to read much of it), they're trying to make it sound like vaping is dangerous :glare: I think I'll pass.

    very tight lungs and difficulty in breathing. please help!

    Is this your first rebuildable? The major difference between rebuildables and standard clearos is that the coil builds are much larger - this leads to a bigger surface area for vaporizing e-liquid, which produces much more vapor. When I got my first rebuildable I dripped with my usual juice...

    Tweezers

    I've never had ceramic tweezers, mainly because of the cost. You don't necessarily need ceramic ones for most builds, you just need ones that are heat resistant. I've been using these and find that they work just fine: $2.33 ONLYOU ESD-13 Stainless Steel Ultrahard Flat Head Tweezers -...

    E-cig companies and their alleged practice of directly marketing to minors and children

    The closing paragraph of this article is just spectacular: "In other words, Constantinides and his allies are prepared to sacrifice the interests, and potentially the lives, of verifiably real adults for the sake of hypothetical teenagers. This is where the logic of regulating “for the...

    Show Us Your Uglies

    Subscribed :D Sadly, my uglies are not as ugly as everyone else's uglies... but I thought I'd share the vintage :D Long story short, I first vaped in 2009, but ended up going back to stinkies in mid-2010 and left the forum for 4 years... finally went back to vaping in 2013 and haven't looked...

    Using PVs at work claimed to show lack of focus

    I would say it's a really close call between all of the above, to be honest. The last 50 years have brought about so many medical and technological innovations that it's almost impossible to realistically determine which one would have / have had the greatest impact on the world population...

    Population control with smoking?

    It's funny you bring this up, because I was kind of thinking along the same lines - except, I was figuring that was kind of what they are already doing, but in a totally different way: The WHO just encouraged several nations to: (a) tax the crap out of cigarette smokers, and (b) "consider...

    Interesting Recall due to PG in the EU

    So, according to American regulators, PG is perfectly safe to ingest. It is perfectly safe to inhale in prescribed medicine and stage fog, among other things. But put it in an e-cig and all of a sudden OMG you're breathing antifreeze!!! 8-o Funny how that works... :rolleyes:
