    Smoke free for four years...

    ...and I want to thank you all for helping me with that. I haven't been around here much in the last couple of years, (political stuff, and don't ask if you don't want to know the answer) but I've missed you guys. Positive attitude and such. Not only have I not had a smoke in four years, I...

    More misguided ink from the NYT

    http://www[.]nytimes.com/2015/11/22/opinion/sunday/dont-let-progress-on-tobacco-evaporate.html "Cigarette smoking among adults has been declining since 1965, but in the mid-2000s progress stalled, mostly because state tobacco control programs were curtailed. In 2009, the country was back on...

    My 2.5 is haunted...?

    Vaping away as usual today, at my desk doing estimates and proposals, and suddenly the vape stops and I get an E1 code. Put a new coil in the Nautilus and after a soak I get an E2 code. :( I put the Nauti on the ohm-meter and everything checks out so I put it on a different mod and all is well...

    On this day, one year ago...

    ...I bought an Ego starter kit and I smoked my last cigarette. And I mean MY LAST CIGARETTE. :toast: I have nothing against smokers, or against cigarettes per se, but vaping is just so much more enjoyable for me. I'm just here to toot(le) my own horn for a bit, and to thank you all for your...

    flat top or button top for sx mini?

    Looking to get a couple of dedicated batteries for a new-to-me s class. :) Everything else I have runs with button-tops, and they work fine in the sx. Will it even work with flat tops, and would there be a good reason to switch?

    Provi-Nauti took a fall at work

    It was only about 5 feet to a hardwood floor, but when I looked down and saw two pieces lying there it caused a bit of panic. :( I'm building a staircase in a new house and I leaned a little too far over from the landing with the rig in my shirt pocket. I really need to find a good holster for...

    What would you say?

    You have your local radio or TV personality thrusting a microphone in your face asking you why you're a vaper, or why you might defend vaping. You'll get 3 to 5 seconds to make your point. If it takes longer than that you won't get airtime. Trust me. What would you say in that 3 to 5 seconds?

    If you even think that you might like to quit smoking sometime in the future...

    ...a drug maker now has a solution. Take this little pill that we have. Hmmm, interesting solution. http://www. nytimes.com/2015/02/18/health/pills-found-to-help-chances-of-quitting-smoking-in-the-future.html?src=recg

    My Nautilus leaked?

    Just curious as to why. The Nauti normally sits on my Provari, but somehow I ran out of charged batteries. :ohmy: I temporarily put it on the MVP2 (with a charged battery) and dialed the wattage down to what was a good vape, but after about 30 minutes I noticed it was gurgling a bit. Soon after...

    Was Tobacco Control ever really about tobacco?

    The concept of TC has apparently been around in various forms for centuries, but it always seems to be more about the 'control' than the tobacco. Would 'Control Via Tobacco' be a more apt title?

    Why vaping is considered bad

    How about a 'Why vaping is bad' recap: It's bad for BT because they're way behind the curve on the technology, they're losing cigarette sales, and they're losing revenue; It's bad for BP because fewer people are using their products to quit smoking, and eventually fewer people will be using...

    More fuel for the Anti's

    E-cigarettes contain 10 times amount of carcinogens: Japan research Since there is really no such thing as news reporting any more I try to get my propaganda from various sources, one of which is MSN. This article was on the front page this morning. The article starts off with a statement that...

    My new MVP came today!

    A really nice upgrade from the old ego batteries! In defense of the ego(s), they've kept me off the smokes for 3 months, and they still work fine. Just have to charge them every couple of hours now, which gets annoying. I'm looking forward to vaping all day+ on a single charge. I filled the...

    Hi Folks

    Just wanted to say hi. My name is Mark, and I've been smoke-free since July 8th. I love being able to say that after nearly 40 years of tobacco use! I'm currently using a basic eGo starter kit and exploring some interesting juice flavors while I slowly wean myself off the nicotine. Any...
