    Would vapor damage/kill/prevent regeneration of celia in trachea/bronchii?

    Oh, I'm sorry, I'm so stupid, I forgot! In my research I did find that PG was used in this dental study as a disinfectant as well as a vehicle for transporting other agents in between teeth or in between gums and teeth. UGH I spelled cilia wrong. I'm dumb

    Ok is it just me or do E-Liquid manufacturers need to do their part?

    Vappoem and D103 both make great points. However, I think vappoem's focus was mostly on public opinion of e-cigs and not exactly the actual health concerns. FYI - some law firms are attempting to amass class action lawsuits against e-cigs, but it will be impossible to determine that e-cigs...

    Sore Throat.

    I have been vaping VG for "some days" now, and I have seen very good improvements in morning throat discomfort. But dang!! VG is VISCOUS! Like it, tho. Probably will end up with a mix.

    It's almost like electronic cigarettes woulda/coulda/shoulda been called "nico-rettes..."

    Don't get me wrong wolf, I like vaporette, but I don't know, it just seems... not bad-..., subconsciously. Rose, your edit furthers your understanding of what I'm getting at, kudos. I call my devices my 'vapes' but I also refer to a session as a 'vape.' FYI - According to an ECF poll, 30% of...

    Would vapor damage/kill/prevent regeneration of celia in trachea/bronchii?

    Thanks for all the replies so far (+1 Grenage) It is important to discuss some of our general feelings about this, that is mostly the reason I posted this, but any sources that could be found to suggest one way or the other would help x100, then I could officially add it to my research..

    Vaping is to Smoking as... can you think of analogies?

    Just curious about whether we can come up with some good or funny analogies that also ring true. Think back to your SAT days.... An analogy can be written out like this: "Vaporizer is to cigarette as graphite is to lead." or put in analogic notation like this: Vaping : Smoking...

    Comment by 'dubd1c3' in 'Week 2 At the Vape Shop'

    Does the shop have a website? I've never seen the inside of a vape shop before.

    It's almost like electronic cigarettes woulda/coulda/shoulda been called "nico-rettes..."

    Everyone, ROFL. So it's now clear talking about Nicorette is OK on this forum. My message appears cryptic because I thought it might not be okay. The general idea I was getting at is the name "Nicorette" in my opinion applies better to electronic cigarettes than it does to Nicorette's actual...

    Who was the first to invent the e-cig?

    Brad, +111111 for finding this! I've been searching for this information- I had only rumors to go on before. Now I can finally add it to my research.

    Classification of e-cigarettes as tobacco products = illegal to purchase online?

    Well, NRT aren't tobacco products. BUT, if e-cigs were actively classified as NRT, you would have worse problems like manufacturers and resellers might need to get pharmaceutical licenses, possible prescription requirement, legal usage limits...

    Who was the first to invent the e-cig?

    Here is a fantastic article about your queston. Interesting story- I was in a shopping mall I frequent and visited an e-cig kiosk I saw there. He told me they were invented in the Middle East- he was middle eastern, and so was the company. I was doing a presentation on e-cigs for my class...

    Would vapor damage/kill/prevent regeneration of celia in trachea/bronchii?

    Celia are tiny hairs that transport mucus and particles up through the bronchii and windpipe. When you smoke analogs, you paralyze the celia, cause it to become brittle, eventually kill it. This leads to... problems. When you quit smoking, with some luck the celia will begin to regrow and...

    Classification of e-cigarettes as tobacco products = illegal to purchase online?

    Soo... The Internet Tobacco Sales Enforcement Act implies that if e-cigarettes are branded as tobacco products, it will become GROSSLY difficult to get them over the Internet. Possibly ILLEGAL. I know here in Michigan it is illegal to purchase analog cigarettes over the Internet. It might...

    E-cigarettes worry anti-tobacco groups

    Uh, yeah, what does that mean? I think it might mean they won't even ENTERTAIN minors, as in, they won't sell any product or merchandise to any minor. Would that even be legal? They have the right to refuse service to anyone, right? Or was that before MLK? That would be very weird to...

    Sore Throat.

    Your sore throat may also be a function of the liquid base. Try PG or VG alternating by week and see if you see improvement. I'm doing this right now to see if sore throat caused more by PG for me.
