    Vaping...More harm then good? For me yes...Im done!!!!!!

    yvilla, I'm not going to argue with you, but I respectfully assert my right to disagree. Until we have longterm data, none of us knows it's safer, only that it appears to be safer in the short-term. And I have to say that I find it somewhat disingenuous that you would completely ignore the...

    Nic and B12

    I'm sorry to have just dropped off the face of the earth the way that I did, Sea. It just got to be overwhelming, and as I'd mentioned elsewhere, the boards make me want to vape!

    Numb, tingly hands, funny electric shock feeling when you bend your head to your chest?

    Zelphie, we're in the same boat, kiddo. I don't "believe" the ecigs caused this, but am unable to trust that based on the past six months of my life and the fact that I will likely have this condition for the rest of my life. And it sucks - I MISS vaping and the friends I'd made here like...

    Vaping...More harm then good? For me yes...Im done!!!!!!

    I think what many here are trying to get across is that we don't really know yet if this is truly a reduced harm alternative. We want it to be, we expect it to be, and honestly, we just hope that it is harm-reduction - but shutting down any discourse on possible side effects helps no one (not...

    SC, I just read about "pseudo relapses" - Brain & Spine Foundation - Relapses - I've printed that out to give to my doctors. Very interesting.

    Nic and B12

    Just a quick update: We'll never know if the low b12 OR the transverse myelitis was vape-related, I guess. But my neurologist is sure that the lesion isn't b12-induced. I guess b12 lesions tend to be longer, mine is round. And so much for full recovery. My hands and arms are still tingly and...

    Numb, tingly hands, funny electric shock feeling when you bend your head to your chest?

    For what it's worth, I'd like to point out that I am not blaming vaping - though I always appreciate a good internet diagnosis - but I have a lesion on my spinal cord that is diagnosed as acute transverse myelitis. For whatever reason (I am exceedingly healthy and it's not MS - my spinal tap was...

    Starting a LIST of diacetyl-free ejuice suppliers. Please, keep to JUST listing the supplier names!

    Oh, bummer, if I'm not mistaken, ecopure is all VG. :( ETA: I wonder if adding PG to your preference to the Ecopure would be the easiest answer?

    Starting a LIST of diacetyl-free ejuice suppliers. Please, keep to JUST listing the supplier names!

    Pax, I'd say if you're interested in vaping the safest possible juice, stick with ECOpure - they're tasty, clean tasting, and committed to using the least "stuff" in a vapeable nicotine replacement product.

    Getting a little freaked out by E-juice Flavors...

    I'd say to go with Ecopure and only ecopure from here on out. You might be surprised - they're actually really good, if expensive. But without any flavoring (save for ethyl maltol and menthol) and no tobacco absolute (which are, to my knowledge, not even intended to be ingested, much less...

    Backwoods brew ordering thread

    LOL. Yep, seriously though - for those times when you want a good, clean, solid vape that reminds you of why you LOVE his stuff - and price! - it hits the spot.

    Backwoods brew ordering thread

    Hey everyone, this message has been approved by the man himself, so I wanted to remind every-malty lover out there that ecopure rich and if you can find it, ecopure English Toffee flavored (check cignot) are GREAT alternatives, if expensive. Not bad to have as a backup stash.

    Numb, tingly hands, funny electric shock feeling when you bend your head to your chest?

    I'm not soliciting advice on this one - I am under a doctor's care. Just trying to find out if anyone has/had the following symptoms and getting all the buzzwords in: Numb and tingly / numbness & tingling in hands, feet, torso - anywhere, really Odd feeling kind of like having a layer of...

    Nicotine as ADD/autism treatment?

    Have you tried caffeine instead of nicotine? My son exhibited some signs of ADD/ADHD when he was younger, and we started giving him coffee (more like latte, honestly) and it helped a lot - and I mean a LOT. I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir, I'm just really concerned about advocating vaping...

    Tiny spot of red in phlegm after ~9 weeks of use. Ideas?

    Did you make an appointment to see a doctor? Anything bright red would indicate new bleeding - older blood, even still "inside you" will turn black or brownish/rust colored. Have you by any chance noticed any nosebleeds lately? That could possibly aspirate into your lungs, and they're not...

    FlavourArt to remove all Diacetyl from their flavorings

    FWIW, I just wanted to share that I think I've been exposed to hexanedione, or maybe leftover hexane from the production of tobacco absolute. I exhibit a classic set of symptoms of n-hexane poisoning, and while it could either be b12 related (I'm low-normal in b12) or a rare scary neurological...

    FlavourArt to remove all Diacetyl from their flavorings

    SDH, I appreciate you asking this question. I think at this point what we need to hope for is that no flavoring company who knows their flavors are being used for vaping use any of the diketone flavoring compounds. Whether it's diacetyl, acetyl propionyl, or hexanedione, (or any others) they...
