    e-cig haters?

    So true, StormFinch. The antis I know (family members) are more hateful because they don't like the aesthetics of smoking. I always thought it was health-related, until my sister got pissy about seeing a guy using an e-cig at a mall kiosk. She was clearly annoyed at having to see someone...

    Attn: Variable Volt and Touch switch Mod users!

    Lol, well, like I said, they don't usually just "die." You can clean them out with potentiometer cleaner (available at any good electronics store).

    Attn: Variable Volt and Touch switch Mod users!

    Pots can and do go bad, especially in a dirty environment where they're left open to the elements. They can be cleaned out to an extent, but once they get damaged, your mid-range is gone. Just ask any guitarist who has owned a wah pedal, or has an older guitar that was used in gigs in smoky...

    Does this look like a good price for PG?

    Yep, this is why I don't actually do anything important in the mornings... That math is more than way off!

    Lungs hurt, chest tight after using first time. Any info on this?

    I know what you mean, and I would like more long-term studies too. Right now we're stuck with short-term information and MSDS. On the not inhaling water, I agree that inhaling liquid water would be dangerous. A teaspoon of the stuff is enough to drown in. The humidity here today is 16%, though...

    e-cig haters?

    The worst I've ever had was an uneducated fella telling me that nicotine was a carcinogen (false). He wouldn't believe otherwise. Generally I don't get much reaction, due to being a relatively fit 240 lbs. and male. People tend to be scared of me. That, and I don't discuss it on facebook, where...

    2 Doctors 1 E-Cig And A Rant

    Having dated a few psychologists, I can say that they entered the field more interested in self-examination (i.e. knowing they have problems) than with the more altruistic intentions of helping others. I'm not saying this is true of all psychologists, but the man you described certainly falls...

    Lungs hurt, chest tight after using first time. Any info on this?

    Yep, that's the first one. I wish I had these things bookmarked. Several articles on PG safety, compiled by VapersClub. Haz-Map information, including occupational exposure thresholds to VG mist. On the flavoring, it is dissolved in a PG solution (usually). I think a chemist would know a bit...

    Katherine Heigl on David Letterman with her e-cig.....

    #5: Teenage boys are going to see celebrities like Katherine Heigl using e-cigarettes... and wish they were Katherine Heigl's cartomizer.

    Lungs hurt, chest tight after using first time. Any info on this?

    Hence why I simply called my statement an anecdotal counterpoint. It means no more or less than the statement I was referring to did. To say that there have been NO studies showing the effects of vaping isn't quite right, as there are a few short-term studies out there. There have been no...

    Does this look like a good price for PG?

    Hi all, found this farm supply store online: Propylene Glycol (U.S.P.) - Premier1Supplies 1 gallon PG usp, $19 plus $13.32 s&h (so about $24 all together).

    Lungs hurt, chest tight after using first time. Any info on this?

    It is easier than thinking, isn't it? :facepalm: Anyone who ceases smoking is going to have increased coughing for a while. It is a symptom of smoking cessation, not vaping. Any pamphlet from a package of the patch or gum will tell you the same. For a counter point of anecdotal evidence, I...

    Vapor most like an analog smoke?

    Not that I noticed. To me it tasted just like a burning cigarette... and again, this was out of a pre-filled cart, with taste buds that hadn't been acquainted with an analog in a little over half a year. Maybe just a hint of something that could be described as "peppery?" I know V4L has two...

    Have you converted anyone to the vape ?

    I've converted three acquaintances at work. Unfortunately, only the third is actively asking questions. One ordered the Blu and asked me why I said it was cheaper. So I told him about d(r)ipping and how to re-fill carts. I never found out what the other guy bought, but I hope it was a good kit...

    Vapor most like an analog smoke?

    A while back, I got a free sample carto of V4L's "Parlament" 18mg liquid. To me, it tasted dead-up like a cigarette, which wasn't good to me after 7 months of not smoking. It could also be my memory going fuzzy on what burned tobacco tasted like. It would be worth a shot.

    Looking to try it out

    The 510 kit should not disappoint, I know a lot of people around here like them! Madvapes is one of my favorite parts vendors too, good choice all around.

    Cheap Chinese e-cigs

    A battery mod is usually a box or tube that holds a much larger battery. I have one that I've made for about $5 out of a Radio Shack project box. Another that I made out of a Coleman LED flashlight. Both use 18650 rechargeable protected batteries that can last two days without a charge. They...

    Looking to try it out

    Howdy and welcome! The two models most recommended for new users are the 510 and KR808-D1. You can find 510 starter kits cheap at cignot.com, and KR8s can be found at vapor4life.com or Puresmoker.com. I got my first kit, a KR8, from Puresmoker. I have ordered from V4L as well, and both are...
