    Vaping Emits Less Formaldehyde than Previously Thought

    Vaping Emits Less Formaldehyde than Previously Thought Story about the Gillman/Kistler aldehyde study in Motherboard. I might be accused of duplicating a thread, but the title of the story, as well as the story itself, shows that there actually are fair and objective journalists out there, and...

    Dr. Farsalino's Ecig Research and World Survey

    I just got this from one of our fellow vapers in Australia, and it does not look like it has been posted here yet. Home If this is a duplicate post, or it is somewhere else here on ECF, moderators can remove it. Since Dr. F is so famous here, I felt Media was a better place to put it, and...

    The density of liquids and possible volume contration

    Yesterday I measured the density of a 36 mg PG liquid known to be only nic and PG to be 1.128 g/mL. The density of pure nicotine liquid is 1.009 g/mL, and the density of pure PG is 1.036 g/mL. Thus if there is no change in volumes upon forming a solution, the final liquid density should be...

    Licenses to run assays?

    Suppose a qualified chemist (not just me) wanted to run simple titration curves for vendors. Because it is a nicotine assay, does one have to have a license to do this for a small business in PA? Until I find out for sure, I am going to do tests for free, but I would like to be able to provide...

    Let give THANKS!!

    I have SO MUCH to be thankful for today! I have made so many friends these last several days, and all indications are that we are on an excellent path now in terms of QC. The outpouring of support and love from all has been incredible, and it has propelled me to work even harder, and to work...

    Houston, we have a problem...BE nic titration results

    Just to bring people back up to speed with this issue, several people here suspected that their Box Elder unflavored nic was too high compared to the labeled concentration. Someone claimed to have tested that theirs was 240 mg/mL. Others stated that theirs was also strangely strong. I, on the...

    pH of unflavored nic liquid?

    Has anyone measured the pH of Box Elder or MFS 100 mg unflavored? Actually it could be any nic level as long as they are the same between the two. I am intrigued by the differences between them, and I suspect there is a pH effect. I don't want to state outright what these differences...

    Unclogging Boge cartos: sharp needle method

    Forgive me if this is old news here. I found no method here for this, so I wanted to share. I have really taken to Boge cartos. I regularly use 3.2 ohm and 2.4 ohm, and have an order of 2.0 ohm on the way. What I like about them is the filler is essentially tasteless to me, they wick well as...

    Close to expired snus? CHEAP from getsnus!!

    Has anyone tried any of the "close to expiring" snus deals from getsnus? It sure is cheap! Like less than $1 a can. Not all brands are available, and some are mixed loose and portions of a particular brand. But I do like Fellini and Catch Licorice. If someone has tried this and it tastes...

    So THIS is the Dark Side...

    Day 1 of snus, after getting in my order from Northerner (4 day delivery, but you have to be home to sign for the package!). Analogs still occasionally haunt my world, in spite of vaping from excellent PVs, so I decided to give snus a try. Knowing nothing of what to expect, but not wanting...

    VG Pipe Tobacco Essense

    Just to collate general methods for flavor extraction from tobacco in this new subgroup, I am pasting in my original post of my method. It is unlikely that this VG extraction will obtain significant quantities of nic...this is a flavor recipe, not an e-juice recipe. Since it is a flavor-only...

    VG Pipe Tobacco Essence

    I should say up front I am in general not a fan of tobacco flavored juices. Tried several and didn't like any of them much. This pipe tobacco essence is to me delicious and very useful as a flavor on its own and with other flavors. What you need: A 10-12 mL syringe A cotton ball A small...

    Anyone bought 510 attys from Heaven's Gifts?

    Their prices are very good and I like the look of the wine colored ones! Looking for a new place after bad luck on bulk attys elsewhere. They claim they are real Joye brand. I would be interested in their mega batts too. TIA! :)
