Thanks Liv2Ski. I had 3 repairs on my Darwin's over two years, all for battery connection, one via mail-in and twice locally soldered. It is time to give them up I think. They've had almost two years of use and owe me nothing. The Opus D appears to be available only in the U.S. I'm not...

In Canada they do exist only in imagination. It has been a year and a half since we could last order one AFAIK. My second Darwin recently died and I'm now fully converted to Vamo. But darn it, I do miss my Darwins. I wish they'd gotten production really going at some point, I'd have bought two...

It has been a very long time, over a year I think, since a Darwin was available to Canada. One of my two Darwins died a final death a couple of months ago. Other VW devices are showing up and my backup is now one of them, a Vamo. It is a great device for its price but if I could buy another...

I've been using CE2 V4's with my Darwins for a while now. I've seen some negative posts about these cartos but I've found them nothing less than awesome when used with a Darwin. At a mere 4.8 watts BTW. I think these cartos suffer a bit in the wild because they seem very tuned to a specific...

Well said! At the individual contact level I believe we are best to avoid battles altogether. I vape in smoking areas but don't make a show of it. If a smoker becomes curious they'll ask, and that's the right time to gently engage them. Similarly with non-smokers - wait until they want to...

Thank you! I'll start switching mine nightly. Am I right to assume that leaving them plugged in after they're fully charged is harmless?

I've been vaping nearly two years. Haven't checked my savings in a while, this thread made me want to check. Saved on cigarettes: $6900. Spent on vaping (I tracked all purchases in Quicken): $3400. So I've saved $3500. The best part is that this includes the two $250 Darwins I...

Amen. The day my second Darwin arrived some weeks ago, everything else I was using went into a drawer and none of it is likely to be used again by me. The Darwin's build quality inspires such confidence that I'm comfortable with having just one backup device. I alternate them - one sits on...

I received my Darwin from HappyVaper last week and I'm loving it! It is everything people have said. I even like the way it looks. I know some people don't but I think it is very nicely finished with an elegant industrial look. The rectangular profile is comfortable in the hand and stays...

I think your self imposed restrictions are highly relevant. We know WTA is important. We know it can be done. Now we wish we could have it. Since no commercial effort seems to be happening, finding safe methods for kitchen production is our best current hope.

That's wonderful news Bill. Thanks very much for telling us about it. Some of the preliminary information from Dr. Eissenberg's studies 2 and 3 is very useful, confirming what many of us thought must be the case with some hard evidence. When these studies are complete they may well have data...

Welcome to the forums AZ1. Your run on paragraph style seems familiar, have we met before?

Thank you for posting with such class JerryRM. (As we've come to expect from you but that does not reduce the thanks!) I don't know how far you will ignore him, seeing the posts and ignoring them vs. not seeing them at all. Either makes sense. I'm going to make this person the second on my...

Everyone, before responding to any post by 2cb, please check his/her post history. This person may just be a <CensoredByMyself/> or may be a sinister troll. Either way the best response is probably none. I hope that my post (perhaps even unnecessary) will be the last to reference anything posted...

I think we all agree with this! I think we aren't seeing research which will help us because there's nothing patentable in the result, i.e. knowing what's a really effective minimal subset of what's in smoke. For instance, a reasearcher who wants to examine the mechanisms of action for...

That, combined with it not being present in the body for any other reason, is why it has long been used as a marker when testing for nicotine use. What I found more interesting in that section is "Although this in vitro model does not address the effects of nicotine metabolism into cotinine...

Both too much nicotine and too little nicotine can cause headaches. So it isn't a reliable way to know whether you are over or under dosing. I'm glad you worked it out by trial and error! For a list of symptoms which are more reliable in assessing over or under dose see my article at...

At last I've found an awesome read which is free. The article at Neuronal Nicotinic Receptor Subtypes: DEFINING THERAPEUTIC TARGETS — MI reviews what was known up to late 2004. Something which forcefully strikes me in this article is how much it demonstrates the degree to which research...

However it is that the hand is dealt, recent research strongly supports this. From the introduction in the study at http://papke.med.ufl.edu/reprints/jnc4355.pdf which I previously referenced: "While both nicotine and nornicotine can activate neuronal nAChR subtypes, the specificity of these...

It is accuracy. You made a statement saying that a study showed that nicotine's effects were reinforced by ... You didn't qualify it by saying that locomotor effects were studied. I would think that anyone, and especially anyone reading this thread, would interpret your statement to include...
