    How long have you been vaping, and what is your preferred wattage?

    Yep. You caught me. It's a conspiracy. I'm here to destroy vaping by trying to establish people's preferred wattage. It's a dirty job, but it needs to be done.

    Vaping in Public

    I'm part of a group (a shadowy conspiracy, if you like) keeping the NUTZ honest. It's the cross that I bear. P.S. If you really want me to go and find posts saying "Passive smoking isn't harmful", not "the harm is exaggerated", I will. But we both know it'd be a waste of time, because this...

    Vaping in Public

    If someone wants to post that passive smoking isn't harmful, I'm going to bash their arguments to pieces. If they feel that their time is being wasted, hopefully they'll stop posting that in future. Simple enough. Andria: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%27s_law

    Vaping in Public

    I don't vape where smoking isn't permitted a) isn't an instruction to others b) isn't a literal truth - nobody (as in NOBODY) thinks you shouldn't vape in places where vaping is expressly permitted. "You think we should treat vaping like smoking" is a straw man, agreed? Next time you see it...

    Vaping in Public

    They collect signatures, don't they? I guess weight of opinion must matter to them. Why doesn't it matter to many of their supporters, who regularly imply that it makes no difference whatsoever if we annoy people? Polling consistently shows support for reinstating the death penalty here...

    Vaping in Public

    This seems pretty straightforward to me. Our actions don't matter against vested interests, right? They're too powerful, we are but individuals. How many billions does CASAA have in the bank? I suggest you remove them from your signature if we, the mere public, don't matter. Or start acting...

    Vaping in Public

    Either public lobbying, petitions, marches etc., and indeed democratic process matter, or they don't. If they don't, a significant chunk of what CASAA does is pointless. If they do, then alienating the public is counterproductive. You won't hear me arguing that corruption, taxes and vested...

    Vaping in Public

    It doesn't really have anything to do with vaping where smoking is banned, that's a strange misconstrual that neither side in this debate seems able to drop... It is to do with vaping where vaping is banned. I don't have any argument with people who do it outside - banning vaping outside makes...

    Good news and bad news

    [heart palpitations] Good news is an... um... unfortunate turn of phrase round here recently. Don't ask :) Who cares about the odd interlude? When I started vaping 'full-time' I still smoked one or two a day - that lasted a month or so. It's something of a cliché, but it's true, focus on the...

    Is this a sign of improving vape 'tech' or are we just getting sloppy? Nobody has mentioned the 'b' word yet...? Here we go anyway: Addendum to Murphy's law: Your device will stop working when you really need it to work. The probability of any given part failing is proportional to its...

    Ego Kit For $9 !

    Well, not all of them. "£149 for a 510 kit with a snazzy logo? Woohoo! And apparently I get to join something called an 'Exclusive carto club' too!" :p

    Ego Kit For $9 !

    I particularly like the fact that the clearo is "Typically color matched to the battery", which presumably just means occasionally they run out or get sloppy, and just send you a completely random one... ;)

    Ego Kit For $9 !

    I don't want to come across as, well, a git... :) But do be careful. Price competition is all well and good, but lithium batteries are potentially dangerous, and there comes a point where you're entering "so cheap they're no good" territory. Perhaps I'm a cautious soul, but I wouldn't charge...

    That varies massively between different people, so impossible to say. Most people seem to advocate just taking up vaping, rather than consciously forcing yourself to quit smoking - which is to say have a vape whenever you feel like it at first, as a supplement to smoking, as it were, rather...

    iClear 30s Ohm Weirdness

    Yes, there is some variation from the stated ohms - manufacturing tolerances in cheap kit. If one coil broke and stopped conducting, you would expect resistance to approximately double. That *approximately* ties in to what you saw. Maybe it didn't break completely, but was only letting a small...

    Whether the EPA judgement is fraudulent is completely irrelevant in the scheme of things. You don't seem to grasp that there is a *monumental* pile of data supporting the link between passive smoking and cardiovascular disease / adverse events. The picture with cancer and low exposure is less...

    Kanger head quality control in the last few months

    A lot of people have been recommending tanks using Kanger Protank 1 / Protank 2 / Evod etc. heads for new vapers, myself included. I think while they have flaws, they've worked reasonably well for me, without too much fuss. I have had to replace heads in a matter of days using some juices, but...

    If I could go back and whisper in my ear, I'd tell myself the following: Don't invest too much too early in any given delivery system. Try a few different things - starting with Egos is often sensible, though nothing wrong with going straight to mods if that's your thing. But don't buy lots of...

    Vaping in Public

    So literally every government and scientific institution is part of the conspiracy. China, Iran, Syria, Russia, and so forth. All in a big merry conspiracy to hide the salient facts, from you, the US public, about passive smoking actually not being that bad at all. How exactly did that come...

    Vaping in Public

    You read it? I'll save you the trouble of typing that, because I know the answer already. The thing about the scientific process is things are either correct, or they aren't. You can tell. That's why it's rather clever. It has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with who funded or authored any...
