    Are you weening down? Why not?

    I started at 18 mg/ml and worked my way down to 12 mg/ml within a few months of starting. When I tried to go lower, everybody started "doing it wrong". When I went back up to 12 mg/ml, they all straightened up. I've stayed at 12 mg/ml for a year now, and I am tempted to start lowering it...

    Game over - "E-cigarette use doubles among U.S. teens"

    And the CDC hasn't posted the 2012 data yet. You can only get the 2011 data. It would be interesting to see the 2011 percent daily use of analogs vs 2012 percent daily use of analogs. If the increase in ecig experimentation/use is decreasing the number of daily analog smokers among teens, then...

    Positive Light Shone On E-Cigs!

    If one group is allowed to have a variety of products, and there were one or more groups that could use only specified products, then that would also be a controlled study. This hypothetical study would be measuring whether variety is more or less effective than dictating to a smoker how they...

    My draw is killing my coils

    That happens to me, too. I just cannot make myself slow down for my vivi novas to catch up. So what I do is set up 3 vivi novas on 3 spinners, each with different juice. I take 3-4 draws off of one, then put it down. Then pick up another, and another 3-4 draws. It keeps me from getting...

    Vaping vs Smoke Machines

    When someone asks me "Isn't there anti-freeze in that thing?" I say "Yes. And it also has glycerin, which is an ingredient in suppositories." Then I make that Hannibal Lecter fava bean sound. Usually that breaks the ice so I can continue to explain why I made the switch, give out a card from one...

    Is it today?

    Now the FDA will publish a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) in the Federal register (probably pretty soon). After that, there probably be a 60 day comment period. I intend to comment and request that the tobacco companies be required to test and report the levels of polonium-210 in their...

    Prue Talbot study grossly misrepresents ECF postings on health impacts of e-cigarettes

    I think any Letter to the Editor should mention some of the fart threads, and ask if they were included. Might also talk about people posting that their boogers have gotten sticky!

    My pulmonary function test results

    My last pulmonary function test was at 28 days of no analogs. The spirometer that they use doesn't do a "lung age", but my FEV1/FCV improved by 1 point from the previous year. That's not enough to be significant, but it assured me that vaping doesn't fry my lungs. I'm not due for my next PFT...

    Just a quick hello

    I smoked for over 30 years and am amazed at how easy it has been to give them up once I found a set-up that worked for me. I also use the vision spinner and mini vivi nova tank. You can put any 510 drip tip on the vivi nova, and you can get 510 drip tips that are flat rather than round. As...

    How was it?

    I started vaping about 5 months ago, and have been analog-free for the last 56 days. I bought a bunch of stuff that didn't work out, but I bought even more that I consider "keepers". I've been making my own juice for the last 3 months, which saves me a lot. By my calculations, I should break...
