    new here, ex-smoker...thinking about becoming a smoker again with e-ciggs...

    Oh yea, I'm quite aware of that. It's hard to pop over to this forum and not get intrigued by the euphoria. But this is almost exclusively an exit ramp, not an entrance. Many are tobacco free but vaping isn't zero risk. Read this completely before you form an opinion Health, Safety and...

    DON'T!!! Run away, run far far away! You beat it for 2 years, you are free! There are a million other ways to relax, don't do it the devil's playground.

    I think I expected too much too soon

    I don't think it's equipment so much. I think you are expecting, maybe not too much, but something different. A lot of us came to vaping with low expectations. You spent time on this forum reading all euphoria so you came in with high expectations. Vaping is different than smoking and it takes...

    I think I expected too much too soon

    First, welcome! Vaping ain't smoking but it's close so you'll go through the typical "dial it in" process. As you figured out, longer drags are pretty much standard with the vaping gig. New atomizers take a little time and use before they become fog machines so give it a chance. A new atty also...

    Agreed. Despite what New York State says, e-cigs are a pretty poor nicotine delivery system. If you a starting up and trying to quit analogs, I recommend 24mg/ml of nicotine and that's if you smoked ultra-lights. After a few weeks you can ratchet it back but keep some 24 mg around for the...

    E-Liquid - The journey you took to come up with your all day vape and/or your favorite juice.

    Acetyl Propionyl, 2,3-pentanedione, any Ketone pretty much.

    Being Proactive... Thought.

    I agree. E-cigs defend themselves, not much explanation needed. Electronic cigarettes are not the issue, smoldering tobacco is. Nicotine is not an issue, tar, cancer and COPD is. The argument is silly to even the most casual of observers. These people want to preserve tobacco-death. That is...

    Being Proactive... Thought.

    I'm focusing on New York. I reject the premise that the issue is e-cigs. It's about tobacco death. New York rakes in $1.4 billion a year on tobacco and they want to keep that no matter how many die in the process. That is the issue, short and sweet. I will not defend e-cigs, it's not necessary...

    E-Liquid - The journey you took to come up with your all day vape and/or your favorite juice.

    I don't think there any such thing as an "all day vape.". I go to work with at least 3 vials of different flavors. I would stay away from anything that has a hint of butter, popcorn, coffee or anything dairy. Diacetyl or any of its substitutes is dangerous stuff. These days I'm vaping unflavored...

    Dripping

    that's the best advice you'll ever get! I find that VG is more tolerant to over dripping than PG but once you dial it in, it's the way to go. I only use carts for driving. Please don't drip and drive.

    Is there an e-cig that will fit in a front pocket and take some abuse?

    I walk around work all day with a Joye 510 in my shirt pocket. I think people assume it is a laser pointer...

    First post...five days!

    If you want to kick the analogs, your nicotine level is way too low. Go at least 18mg/ml or 24 for the first week. E-cig nicotine delivery and absorption is pretty poor compared to an analog. Read up on the nicotine thread in the Health and medical issues section.

    New vapers, do you find yourself...

    Done the car window thing a lot. Where I work, smoking was not permitted on the property. I'm saving a ton in gas money no longer doing orbits around the facility.

    NYS trying to ban e-cigs

    Hope is nothing more than delayed disappointment. Set up a meeting face to face with an assemblyman. If they are for the ban then they are for tobacco-induced death. Let them know that will be the rallying cry of their opponent in the next election.

    Vicki and cignot

    Ditto. I've been using Cignot from the beginning. They are a world class outfit. Vicki knows her stuff and is the example for everyone else to follow. There is a huge gulf between Cignot and second best.

    FDA seizing new shipments

    I've said it before, I'll say it again. Electronic cigarettes are not the issue, tobacco is. We must polarize the issue. If you are anti-ecig, you are pro-tobacco and pro-tobacco-death. Almost 100% of the general public knows the danger of tobacco and will see your point. Painting...
