    Just got an eVic, but it should be a Provari

    As I wrote in a previous thread, I fried my eGo-V VV battery trying to use a non-eGo cable to charge it, and I ordered an eVic to replace it. It came in the mail today. It's a very cool mod, and I'm quite happy with it. My wife asked what it was and how much it cost, and I told her. Her...

    Warning: Using non-eGo cables could fry you Ego-V VV 650mah battery

    The short version: If you have an eGo-V 650mah VV battery with passthrough, do not try to charge it using anything besides the included cable or mini-USB adapter, because other cables could fry the electronics of the battery. The long version: I bought an eGo-V 650mah VV battery with...

    Vaping and morning breath

    I've noticed that since I've started vaping, I no longer have morning breath and my mouth doesn't feel like something crawled in and died when I wake up. I take it from mouthwash commercials and my wife's reaction to kissing me goodbye as I go off to work in the morning after drinking several...

    Curing misperceptions by vaping in public

    My office is on the top floor of my building, where we all have to wear a business suit. I am right across the hallway from the room where the executive IT support staff sits. They offer real-time, face-to-face support, so it's high-traffic area, with folks going there all the time who have...

    Encourage or Discourage Nachos?

    I'm an addict. And I am addicted to nachos. Studies show that eating copious amounts of nachos has a profound neurological impact on all organisms with a taste for ersatz Tex-Mex. Plus, nachos makes you fat and ugly and give you heart disease. In spite of the obvious risks of being fat and ugly...

    Darkness vs Light: Steeping

    When steeping, is it more important to keep the bottle in the dark or just out of direct sunlight? I know that UV ray exposure decomposes nearly everything and oxidizes anything organic (meaning "carbon-based," not "chemical additive free") so it makes sense to keep it out of direct sunlight...

    The safety of inhaling propylene glycol

    Let's see if we can put this issue to rest: According to the EPA's 2006 review of propylene glycol, it has been registered as a general use antimicrobial in air conditioning units and air purifiers since 1950. The EPA stated that propylene glycol is of "low toxicity," meaning that acute...

    Why I'm here (and why you are awesome)

    I still can't get over my feeling that vaping is too good to be true. In classic movies, smoking is glamorous, cool, sexy, heroic. This, of course, is a bill of goods. Just as movies portray the pre-industrial age while omitting how everything was pretty much buried in animal excrement, classic...

    Nose hit vs throat hit

    I like a good throat hit, but what I like better is the feel of the vapor mist slowly going out of my nose, straight out without inhaling it. Unfortunately, it goes away after a few puffs, so I have to stop vaping for several minutes to get it back. Anyone else like this?

    The existential questions: Why smoke e-cigarettes?

    I feel like e-cigarettes are my salvation, my connection to a culture that lasted centuries, a culture that is dying in the first world, a culture that I love. I smoked for 10 years. Started when I was 24. I loved it. It’s the most fun anyone can have on a daily basis with fire. I was a really...
