    Pre veteran thread (2011)

    On the theory that one must post ONE MORE TIME after the switch to make it "stick," I'm writing this to see if I get wings or not. I'll PM one of the mods if not. We shall see...

    Somewhat positive article

    I'm glad you fought so hard to get your comments posted because they were wonderful! (but what does "concatenated") mean?

    Pre veteran thread (2011)

    I FEEL like a veteran but am not officially recognized yet. Thanks to you all at ECF in advance for all the support and useful knowledge I've gained while strapped to my computer over the past year. This is the only forum I've ever been on and it's kinda addictive and time-consuming but there...

    dissolvable tobacco soaked in zero-nic e-liquid; good idea or bad idea?

    I've been lurking here ever since they turned me on to snus and I stopped going crazy. (Well, slowed the descent.) Major bummer about the EU ban on snus. Scheesch!

    dissolvable tobacco soaked in zero-nic e-liquid; good idea or bad idea?

    Below detection levels? Badly determined logistics? Better distillation launch?

    An incredible 2 years smoke-free

    One year ago today I joined ECF and as soon as I figured out how to navigate the forum I became impresssed with your contributions, Elaine. That feeling has only grown as your inspired advocacy has grown. I'm so glad you took on the challenge CASAA has given you and thank you for your work. I...

    Cruel and unusual punishment?

    I had the same expectation when California's prisons banned smoking. My sister, who is a prison guard, said the only thing that changed was a new black market within the prison. If I remember correctly, one cigarette sold for $10. Reminds me of alcohol prohibition which created a whole new...

    Unusual New Ruyan Patents ?

    Your posts are great, tescela! E-liquid with MAOI's, made from tobacco will have no brand-new horrible physical effect on confirmed smokers. If people (like me) discover that nicotine-only e-juice is insufficient to stop smoking while staying sane they will either go back to smoking or try...

    Back to Analogs

    I smoked and vaped for a couple of months before I stopped smoking. As soon as I did that, I went crazy so began supplementing my vaping with Swedish snus. From then on I was OK, but I couldn't have done it without the snus. I still vape constantly (24 mg) but have a snus mini in at the same...

    Smokestik Contest! Show your compassion for animals....win an electronic cigarette and more!!!!

    This isn't a rescue story but it's my best animal story. A filthy, mangy, ugly grown cat appeared at our house one day and our cat (for unknown reasons) just loved it at first sight. Both were outside cats so they shared the food and water. A few weeks later that cat was hit by a car and...

    MHRA publishes its decision: option 3 do nothing!

    Last weekend I flew to California to attend a gathering of friends who have been meeting for 18 years. Smoking is traditionally done outside as a courtesy to the hostess. I brought a PV for a friend who was trying them out. Both of us vaped indoors throughout the marvelous evening of...

    MHRA publishes its decision: option 3 do nothing!

    Thanks to the two "R's," rolygate for his analysis and rothenbj for his rants. Very pleasant reading this evening--made me smile. I'm glad this has come down looking sort of like another win for us!

    More Misleading Media Coverage of Utah HB 170 Defeat

    Bill Godshall called me a cyber bully because I kept asking him a question he refused to answer: Would he support graphic warning labels on any other endeavor that can cause harm to the participant? Looks to me like Michael McFadden has his head screwed on right. I'm a big fan of smoker's...

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    I know. That's why I always think it's funny when they worry about "the children." As if.

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    I live in the absolute sticks. The nearest town to my house has a population of 500. Many of the people are poor and uneducated. But they're not stupid. A year ago I'd never even heard of an electonic cigarette. I discovered them trying to find a way around high taxes and the PACT Act...

    Beta Carboline MAOIs - towards a more effective e-liquid

    I gave Virk some Swedish snus and he fired off some little bottles of concentrate from the various types/flavors with cautions to dilute it before testing. He also wondered if I would have as strong a reaction as he had because I've been using snus every day for a while now whereas his system...

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    I thought this was a brilliant suggestion--experimented with tacking "babe" onto some of the BS ideas and it really did make them clearer more appealing. Thanks for making me burst out laughing first thing in the morning!
