    2 questions: Cinnamon, and Oil Flavoring

    Ha ha, fooled ya, only one question, because 2 threads down I found Kattdaddy's advice about diluting oils with alcohol to make them safe for attys. So... In the event I can't make this happen with alcohol and cinnamon oil, does anybody have any recommendations for a strong, real cinnamon...

    Puresmoker's Created A Monster

    It Is Time for my fella to quit smoking. He's been cutting back for a couple of weeks (since being hospitalized with crazy high blood pressure), and today was his first day entirely without tobacco. I'd given him my Protege, thinking 3.7 was the best place to start, with some 11mg Riskee. He...

    Op-ed in The Hill you might want to Digg

    A thousand apologies if it's already here, but I cannot find it if it is. FDA?s drug and e-cigarette warnings counterproductive - TheHill.com Excerpt: Similarly, this summer, the FDA warned about the safety of e-cigarettes, a product many smokers are using to quit smoking real cigarettes...

    Zogby Interactive Poll--E-cigarettes

    May not be the best place to post this since it's not a news article, but I thought some of you might like to know. BF and I are both signed up to take polls Zogby sends out occasionally. He got one this morning; I did not. His contained about 5 questions regarding e-cigarettes... as in, have...

    Silliest article ever, maybe

    Khaleej Times Online - Hazardous e-cigarette Smoked out of Market The excerpt that made my head explode: Dr Al Maidoor said to date there is no study that could prove that the e-cigarette can be used as a therapy to 
quit smoking. On the contrary, e-cigarette “will encourage smoking...

    Wow, who's this gasbag Doug Bates?

    Kroger's legal grounds in the e-cigarette deal - OregonLive.com "Pernicious electronic cigarettes"? "Legalized drug pushers"? But wait, there's more: As a footnote, I should add that last week's posting [there is a link to his previous post on the subject, near the top of his current post]...

    Recharging batteries

    I've had my Prodigy for only a couple of weeks, and for the past couple days the batteries need to be swapped out more often. How long should a battery take a full charge before it starts to crap out, anybody know? Puresmoker's out of 'em right now, so I ordered 6 plus a spare charger from...

    Good deal on dropper bottles

    For anyone who likes empty bottles as much as I do... US Plastic is having a free-shipping deal now if you use code 57590 at checkout. They have great little dropper bottles; I like larger ones for mixing liquid, and the 6cc bottles are terrific carry-arounds. The "natural" color ones are clear...

    Just a rave

    Ye gods, I love my Prodigy. It makes everything taste so good and I don't have to THINK about batteries from morning to evening. It's like I slipped the leash. Vaaaape freeeee.... as freeee as the wind bloooows... Some days you just have to smell the roses, and watch the sunset, and vape the...

    Kos diary... arrgh

    I read Kos but am not signed up at the Great Orange Satan... the community there has always been difficult for me to grok. (More of an Eschaton/FDL/C&L fan.) However, this is up now: Daily Kos: GUS: Have some diethylene glycol with that e-cigarette I'm not going to sign up and have my first...

    Slow burn... John Banzhaf

    E-Cigarette Critics Accused of "Libel" and "Slander" // But FDA is Already Asserting Jurisdiction Over Product Just a press release dated today, full of the usual noxious stuff, but I wonder about this assertion that evil puppeteers of the e-cig empire are accusing Banzhaf (? unnamed others?)...

    Do atomizers always die, bang, all at once?

    Or can they end not with a bang, but a whimper? I always thought that when an atty died, it went all at once, no mo' vape. Can they just peter out until you're getting some vapor, but not enough? Do they stop producing as much heat? This would explain a lot of things, from not loving my 510...

    Pass-thru 101? Help...

    I just got a Joye-510 and a pass-thru to go with. The 510's truly a mother compared to my getting-iffy DSE901 gear (which feels like a gym membership for my cheeks in comparison). Manual batteries are definitely where it's at. Yet... this pass-thru. There's zero documentation with it; the...

    What causes hard draw/uneven performance? (901)

    My first hardware, a 901. Been using the same atomizer for the month I've been at this, and rotating between 3 batteries, one recently bought as a spare, and one of which has gone all the way south -- I don't know if the new one went bad, or an older one just gave up. Lately I'm getting VERY...

    How do you refill a plastic bottle w/juice?

    I must be missing something REALLY obvious, yet I've scoured these forums and cannot find the answer. I want a small plastic squeeze drip-bottle (like a Visine bottle) for topping off away from home. I like a specific blend of 3 e-liquids, but it tastes better pre-blended and nobody wants to...
