    New Study Released

    With the Affordable Health Care Act, insurers are allowed to charge tobacco users more. I would imagine they probably will. Yeah right..."probably" my savings account (I'm sitting on it BTW). Reason used is that tobacco is a health hazard. Obesity is a health hazard also, it just hasn't been...

    What should I stock up on?

    When I was a cigarette smoker (almost an entire three months ago) I always knew where my next pack was. Bubba didn't run out! Get your spares on hand so you aren't tempted to go back to the dark side. Then you can go crazy and start getting things you don't really 'need'...like DIY liquids...

    Getting antsy!

    My bestest buddy just dropped it off. Batteries in the charger, happily blinking away! Nice hand feel to the unit, nice fine threads on the bottom cap. None of that coarse thread screw crap here! And I'm sitting here fondling the unit while the batteries charge, saying "My precious, my...

    10 year smoker, quit cold turkey.

    Haven't had any problem with mouse farts but my dogs on the other hand (g). Congrats on picking up vaping...it is a surprise to the senses of what you've been missing all of the years you were on cigarettes!

    Attitude to vaping - For giving up? Why?

    I have known one or two people in my lifetime who have been able to just drop the cigarettes and walk away -- and stay away! Too many come back after a month or even a year. Not me -- couple of hours and it is nic fit time! I vaped and got off the coffin nails. That's all I wanted to do...

    Signature Help

    Your 'proposed' sig has actually too many lines in it. Try reducing the lines and see what happens. I'm not an expert of course but that is what popped into my mind..

    Does anyone ever plan to quit vaping?

    Maybe yes, maybe no. Got off cigs which is all I wanted to do. Major step!!! Cut down my nic concentration a little already. Possibly no nic in the future? If so then vaping would be just like sucking on a lollipop! If Kojak could use lollipops all the time, maybe I can too (g)!

    What led you to vaping?

    Why I quit? Smoking is bad for you. All of the governments look at you as a cash cow, to be kicked when ever they need some more revenue. Being a second class citizen/social pariah! I looked into vaping a little bit. The secret language turned me off. Then a nice lady on a pipe forum (I...

    New Study Released

    An older article with a different spin: Death, smoking and pollution: Maybe we An excerpt: “I just don’t see how you can be so cold-blooded. I mean, after all the effort we’ve put into things like cutting down on cigarette smoking...” “Yes, what a terrible idea.” “I‘m sorry, I thought you...

    What's your opinion about made-in-china

    Apple: Designed in California, Made in China. The Chinese can make a fine product. Question is is how much can it be sold for? If an U. S. based company wants something to be made they give a price point..say $20.00 for 1,000 pieces. The manufacturer figures a way to make the product to meet...

    I would have waved them over and shot the breeze explaining what I'm doing. Might save a hassle in the future!

    Vaping etiquette

    Think of the anti-smoking climate. Initially not enough people were quitting. Then someone came up with the bright idea of second hand smoke. So things went from "you're stupid killing yourself like that but I don't care" to "OMG you're killing me and my kids with that disgusting thing"...

    Help me find a starting kit for my dad

    If he likes the "kiss" principle, then the CigEasy Elite or the Halo G6, both 808d-1 batteries (cig-a-likes). Start with cartos and clearos. If he like the hobby, then he can go crazy like the rest of us!
