TL;DR: Vapers are 1.3 times more likely than non-vapers to develop lung disease such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema. Smokers are 2.6 times more likely than non-smokers. People who both smoke and vape are well over 3 times more at risk, making them the highest risk group. Glantz and his...

Anyone have the Smok baby beast RBA? If so have you tried to use TC wire in it? I cannot get an accurate ohm reading on either my DNA-200 or my Smok Alien. Moreover, my DNA-200 will not read either my SS or Ti coils in TC mode (kicks it out of TC immediately). I have checked and double...

Enthalpy labs produced a study that was just published in the March 2016 edition of Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology. Much like the study I talked about a few days ago (thread is below this one) they tested devices at various wattages and recorded aldehyde formation at each. The...

A Researcher from UNC Chapel Hill (Dr. Illona Jaspers) submitted a talk at an AAAS conference in Washington this week. I don't know whether her research has been published or if she is simply providing preliminary results. In either case, her conclusion is that e-cigs can suppress immune...

The paper is titled: "Correlation of volatile carbonyl yields emitted by e-cigarettes with the temperature of the heating coil and the perceived sensorial quality of the generated vapours" and was was published in the International Journal of Hygiene and Environmental Health. The full paper is...

(Mods I put this in "General" to reach a wider audience. If you feel it needs to be moved, that's fine.). I have often wondered something about batteries. I can do the math, but since I am not a trained EE who understands these circuits at a more fundamental level, I feel I am missing...

So, has anyone heard about the redditor who made a post saying he was new at rebuilding and found some lead wire laying around and built a coil with it? (lead, as in the stuff they put in bullets, old paint and gasoline prior to the 1970's). Anyway he asked reddit if this was OK to do and, of...

So my mom, being clumsy, keeps dropping her mod. The last one was an IPVD2 that now has a broken/stiff button. So I am thinking about ordering her an Evic-VTC Mini as a replacement. (I am like her vape slave. I am who she calls if she clicks the wrong button or needs a coil rebuilt). Is...

So, the scoop is that some large vaping vendor (I think it's VS, but not sure) sent off some of the new ceramic coils to a professional lab to be tested. According to rumor they found some "bad things" leaching from the ceramic when heated. Magnesium Oxide is one chemical in question. Grimm...

There's a new tank called the Altus that is using a different type of heating element that supposedly never has to be changed (they call it an "advanced solid state heater"). You only have to rewick the cotton every so often, but the "coil" lasts indefinitely. A user on reddit is speculating...

Surprised no one has made a thread about this tank yet. I do not use clearomizers at all anymore, but I am buying this SOB. Can't wait till I get it in the mail. The Cubis is 100% leak proof from the bottom (it can't possibly leak since it is 100% a solid at the bottom). The airflow is at...

An update to the subtank mini. Looks like they are using the toptank nano's design and giving us a 22mm atty which is also compatible with the RBA head. They are also coming out with clapton coils for it. From Google: I have other tanks, but I still find myself coming back to my subtank...

The inimitable David Jaquith sat down and did a video call with Brain at TVC yesterday. The video is 45 minutes. He talks temp control, TC wire, the Dicodes mod, why he likes Ti the best, as well as debunking some of the Ti health scare stuff. It's worth a watch.

I've been using primarily Kanger Subtank Mini's for a while now. But since there has been a slough of new RTA's released, I figured I might upgrade. I am more or less happy with the performance of the subtank, but since I modified the deck (I dremeled it), it leaks. Yes, the dry hits are...

So, my mother has a Subox (Kbox mini and Subtank) kit. I gave her some LG HG2 (authentic from Illum) batteries to use in it. These are 3000 mAh 20 amp batteries. In any case, I was checking out her mod, took the case off and looked at the battery. I noticed there was a pit (or a hole) about...

As we all know, VaporShark recently tested all of the liquids they carry and many of them came back with very high levels of DA/AP. This caused a lot of outrage from vendors who have been making up conspiracy theories about the testing, etc. Anyway, on his show last night, Dimitri went on a...

So there was a cell study published recently that took human and rat lung cells and exposed them to both cigarette smoke and e-cig vapor (with and without nicotine). Dr. Farsilinos responded saying that the study was bogus based on a detail he saw in one of the charts. What happened is they...

Having your fire alarm go off in the middle of the night and having the alarm company call to ensure there is no fire. Then having to explain to the guy what vaping is. I hate that the smoke alarm is so close to my vaping room.

This will be a long post, but I wanted to discuss where our VG is actually made (not merely who sells it). I also have a couple of questions at the end for anyone more versed in the topic than me. I am in search of the highest grade of VG available. My goal was to discover who actually makes...

Anyone ever experienced USPS losing your vape mail? How did you resolve it?
