    join together and stop the the over priced under performing mall shops

    I read one vendor say that it can be done. The problem is that it's not cost effective. Chinese factories pump atomizers out by the thousands. Individual U.S. vendors can't do that kind of volume. So the price would go up tremendously. Regarding the overpriced mall kiosks: If it weren't for one...

    Vote for Best Juice Supplier.

    Absolutely. That's why I put zero stock in any juice reviews. Taste is completely subjective.

    Only Johnson Creek for me.

    Just got my batteries and they are too big, How do I fix?

    Did you happen to take the switch assembly out and do anything to it at the same time you switched batteries? I'm asking because sometimes, if you don't put it back together correctly, you can't press the button. For example, the delrin spring base could be slightly out of alignment. If so take...

    Vaping with eyeglasses on.

    Same here.

    Is the Icon safe?

    Absolutely. It's the idiots who ruin it for everybody, though. Nothing is ever their fault. And why learn to pay attention to anything? That's what nannies are for. Now that I have that out of my system.... Worried about an unprotected battery? Buy a protected one. Pure Smoker sells them...

    FAA issues fire warning for lithium batteries.

    It's not like a government agency has never done anything like that before! ;)

    FAA issues fire warning for lithium batteries.

    It seems to me that it could also pose some major problems getting any kind of batteries, from cameras, iPods, phones... what types of electronics these days don't use Li-ion batteries?

    Tobacco or Drug no difference to FDA

    Thanks for clarifying that. All I could find related to when e-cigs were marketed in the U.S. stated "2006-2007".

    What exactly is a mod?

    "Modification" is more accurate. They basically boil down to being replacement batteries for the stock batteries that come with standard e-cigs. But they still use the same atomizers, as that seems to be the nut no one else has been able to crack. Some mods offer bigger, more powerful batteries...

    How well did Nicotine patch/gum/lozenges/inhaler work for you?

    Providing a bump for more responses as well as adding another anecdote. My aunt, who died this year, was diagnosed with emphysema in 2003. As far as we know, she finally quit smoking in 2005. I went to the store for her the week before she died. Among the things she had on her list was a box...

    How well did Nicotine patch/gum/lozenges/inhaler work for you?

    With cold turkey, I lasted three very long and unpleasant days, both for me and for everyone around me. That first cigarette I had after I admitted defeat was probably the single more euphoric moment in my life up to that point. The gum and lozenges did nothing for me. I think with both, it...

    Curtis' coffee by puresmoker

    Same here. I love the taste of coffee (as a drink) but had two terrible experiences with coffee liquids when I first started vaping. So I avoid those at all costs.

    Several FDA TPSAC members flaunt their drug industry conflicts of interest

    Exactly! And it's not going to stop people (namely teens) from starting a smoking habit. Teens don't wake up one day and think "maybe today I'll try out that nicotine everyone keeps going on about." No. Instead, they think "maybe today, I'll smoke a cigarette so I'll look cool in front of my...

    Bulk atomizer pricing

    No. Pure Smoker typically doesn't do coupon codes. I've known them to do only one, and that was for their anniversary around August of this year.

    Johnson Creek Juice Turning Green!

    I have used JC exclusively for about 14 months with no problems at all.

    What is this warning for?

    Another +1 to a great response. Introducing vaping to children -- even zero nic juice -- would be a very bad idea indeed.

    How many chemicals are in an e-cig?

    I just need to offer a correction with the caveat that I am not a chemist. So anyone with a scientific background, please feel free to clarify and/or correct me as necessary. But here is my understanding: Traditional cigarettes have over 400 approved ingredients. When a cigarette is burned...

    My ICON is here!

    The varying degrees of fit is normal. Unfortunately, the manufacturing specs can vary among 808 cartos even within the same batch, much less from different suppliers. The cartos don't go all the way down; a gap is normal. If you have trouble making one go far enough to fire, just gradually work...
