    Dimitri Goes Off on Rant About Dishonest Liquid Vendors

    I think 5 Pawns is in big, big trouble from a PR standpoint. Then again, Suicide Bunny got blasted for months over this same issue and they appear to still be going strong at $1 per mL.

    Cloud9vaping pulls Five Pawns and other liquids from the shelf after testing.

    The problem is no doctor is going to do a lung biopsy on an at-risk patient (like a smoker). He is just going to say "COPD" and send them home with an oxygen tank and some Spiriva. If every smoker with COPD had a lung biopsy done, I suspect we would see at least a few cases of B.O. in the...

    I assume he wants to have another independent test of the 5P line. Nude Nicotine now offers GC/MS testing.

    Wait, so UK Vapors had to delete a discussion thread on this topic because of a threat from 5P?

    Dimitri Goes Off on Rant About Dishonest Liquid Vendors

    From basic physics we know there are four types of matter: liquid, solid, gas, plasma. Therefore, everything in our observable universe is one of these four types (I say "observable" because there is a 5th type called dark matter, but no one knows what it actually is yet). The most common...

    Except that there are nanoparticles in our vapor.

    Dimitri Goes Off on Rant About Dishonest Liquid Vendors

    And now the plot thickens, folks. This will be very interesting in the weeks, months ahead. (TL;DR -- Five pawns has responded and claim they are taking legal action against Cloud 9 which has resulted in C9 taking down the results -- for now).

    A retrospective study on the health effects of vaping

    First, I would like to say welcome. Second, while your work is interesting, I don't put a lot of faith in survey studies. We need objectivity, which can only be had by having trained medical professionals monitor the health of volunteers in vivo over a period of years. I am aware of such...

    Is pg corrosive to lung tissue?

    It could be all in your head or it may not be. You can't know for sure until you have more tests done. I would suggest a full pulmonary workup as the guy above suggested.

    You say you vaped for under a year and you have significant pulmonary obstruction? Are there any other explanations for your condition that you or your doctor can think of?

    Five Pawns has been deleting comments about these results on their Facebook page. Anyone who mentions the tests or asks FP for comment has their comments instantly deleted. Does that sound like a company that has nothing to hide?

    Dimitri Goes Off on Rant About Dishonest Liquid Vendors

    I can tell you how to make a Tribeca DIY clone if the time ever comes where you want to go that route (it's a 2 ingredient recipe). All you need is TFA's RY4 Double and you're 90% there. Also, in regard to the Cloud 9 test results, Five Pawns should be ashamed of themselves. Some of their...

    DNA 200 Watt

    Temperature is the measurement of the average amount of heat present, not the total. Heat is the amount of energy transferred. No, the amount of heat energy transferred will be the same regardless of the coil mass. It's just the larger the coil mass, the lower the average amount of heat...

    DNA 200 Watt

    No, it's not. It's a common mistake lots of people make, but temperature and heat are not the same thing. Heat = energy (measured in Joules). Temperature = the average amount of heat or energy in a system (measured in degrees). You might ask: how does that make temperature different from...

    DNA 200 Watt

    Do you know what energy is? Do you know what heat is? I don't think you do. Do you know the difference in temperature and heat?

    DNA 200 Watt

    That's correct. Temperature does NOT equal heat.

    DNA 200 Watt

    Wattage = energy (or heat). Temperature does not equal heat. Therefore, more power does not necessarily mean a higher temperature.

    Not sure if serious. There have been cases of B.O in people working in bakeries. It isn't just one case at coffee plants. One doctor found 4 people at one plant that had severe respiratory disease. I highly recommend you read this story. No they didn't. Numerous people from outside SB...

    Dimitri Goes Off on Rant About Dishonest Liquid Vendors

    Depends. Some certainly do, but there's several major flavor vendors (TFA, CAP, FA, LOR, etc). And some of the really big companies are probably making their flavors from scratch nowadays (i.e. hiring flavorists to work with individual molecules). Besides, every one of these flavor vendors...

    Dimitri Goes Off on Rant About Dishonest Liquid Vendors

    It's on his radio show. I linked it in my OP. And let me clarify that Dimitri was ranting against the companies who are making excuses for the high levels found (he is on Vaporshark's side). He claims he has asked these very companies before if their liquids have DA/AP and they told him "no...
