    Nicotine/Cotinine test for employment

    Also if it hasn't been said to the OP already, Cotinine is a byproduct of nicotine that is actually tested through a blood draw, not a urine test.

    Nicotine/Cotinine test for employment

    Having worked as a contracted employee of one of the largest diagnostic screening companies in the US for over 2 years, I can give some insight that may answer some questions that have been asked. Here is how some of these programs work. Said diagnostic company contracts with say, a large...

    Virgin vapor........really? who vapes this.

    I was very unhappy with my VV order as well...and for the price I probably won't try any more juices from them. Very chemical/alcohol tasting, even after steeping, and their blue punch flavor smelled and tasted very floral. Only used it as a back up when I was out of everything else. Their root...

    Doc says I'm "still a smoker"

    I'm not sure what you're getting at. I wasn't siding with anyone...just stating that they test for nicotine via cotinine.

    Doc says I'm "still a smoker"

    No matter the source, or the year, it still shows it's not a "myth".

    What to do with so many cartomizer condoms?

    So I have about 100 cartomizer condoms and was thinking I'd try to find some other use for them instead of just throwing them all away. Couldn't think of another use for them, however, so I thought I'd see if anyone here had any ideas?

    Doc says I'm "still a smoker"

    Insurance companies use testing that determines the amount of cotinine in your bloodstream, which is produced in the liver when nicotine is present. There is no way to determine whether this nicotine is from a cigarette or from a PV, so they would not differentiate the two.

    Caffeine infused e-liquid

    So doing a little searching, it seems that caffeine doesn't evaporate, it "sublimes" or goes straight from a solid to a gas, as opposed to solid-liquid-gas, at about 352 degrees farenheit. How hot does a vaporizer get?

    Caffeine infused e-liquid

    Haha nice catch. When you try to order it gives you a giant April fools banner.

    Caffeine infused e-liquid

    So I see there's been posts on this before, but this site claims there is enough caffeine in the liquid at 80mg per 30ml bottle to get 6.4mg per hit. Nu-Juice Liquid Refill. For $7.49 for 30 ml, I might try it out. Then I came across this, ThinkGeek :: SurgeStix - Inhalable Caffeine Stix...

    Federal Bills Would Subtantially Increase Tobacco Taxes and Allow New Taxes on Electronic Cigarettes

    I doubt it. Look at the drug war. That's been going on for 40 years, and the federal government certainly isn't about to secede that war in favor of harm minimization. Although possibly harm minimization to their budgets if that were to happen. Of course most likely not, as then they could just...

    What I hate about vaping

    I already said...I buy American where I can. It was a philosophical debate, not me trying to debate that anyone who vapes should only be buying American.

    What I hate about vaping

    I'm done with this thread...just because it hasn't been found, doesn't mean it isn't happening. Some people prefer to buy American. Get over yourself. And no, I can't afford to only buy American. I only buy American made juice, yes. Have a problem with that? At least the last guy on this...

    What I hate about vaping

    There's been such a "ruckus" because Americans need jobs, and people are more aware of the conditions of laborers in other countries with the availability of information on the internet these days.
