    Pain in lungs from vaping

    Use a stronger e-juice and lower voltage/wattage. Less cloud, lower temperature. High temperature vaping can indeed burn the juice and make lung irritants. Some people are sensitive to pure vegetable glycerin. For me, it exacerbated asthma and I got a heavy feeling in my lungs and ended up...

    1 year in I still can't stop smoking cigarettes when I drink

    It has nothing to do with your setup or juice. Lots of people that quit smoking have to give up drinking alcohol, too, at least until the association between drinking and smoking goes away. Drinking impairs your reasoning, so your resolve goes out the window and all you have left is habit. No...

    Non-Smoker Interested in Vaping

    If you are a non-smoker and planning to use zero nicotine e-juice, my advice would be to just not bother inhaling the vape. There is no point really (even with nicotine e-juice, one doesn't have to inhale the vape to absorb nicotine). Maybe once in a while for fun but you'll get a lot of...

    Are there any good disposable ecigs?

    I've never had that problem with NJoy, though they are not a very strong menthol flavor.

    Chemical Purge to Nic Free

    The biggest factor that makes cigarettes more addictive than vaping is that cigarettes deliver nicotine to the brain much faster. It takes time for your brain to adjust to that reality, perhaps months, but you should see a reduction in craving intensity.

    FDA Huge news from the UK: E-cigarettes more effective than NRT for smoking cessation

    It's positive news but it's only "60 percent better" than NRT. The NRT is 10-15 percent effective, meaning e-cigs are still relatively ineffective for many people. I would be more impressed if e-cigs were double that of NRT. In my experience, it still requires a lot of motivation to quit...

    hello from a christian vaper

    It's not a common choice of favorite Bible stories, but I do like the story of the Syrophoenician woman in Mark 7. When I was much younger I was puzzled by the story, and especially how some people interpret it (some liberal Christians think it proves Jesus was a product of his times) - it's...

    if you compensate for resistance with voltage, what difference does it make?

    There may be problems with the efficiency of the booster circuits in VV devices, that could explain people getting longer battery runtime with different resistance coils?

    Why I hate Religion, but love Jesus.....

    Having come from a more Episcopalian or Old Catholic background, it's impossible for me to make a sharp contrast between Jesus and religion. But then, our churches have never been known for the sorts of things that people love to bash about religion- we aren't moralists or out to control...

    hello from a christian vaper

    Saintscruiser, you may not have read any of my posts but I have read a few of yours! I don't really belong to a particular church... yet, though I have attended many. I'm in a mushy middle between Protestantism and Catholicism, so not coincidentally in the past I read a great deal of C.S...

    hello from a christian vaper

    Fibromyalgia... I've delt with that too. A positive thing I can say about smoking is that it did take away a lot of the fibro pain, maybe a coincidence. It hasn't really returned. I don't have a particularly favorite Bible verse but I do like reading the Old Testament stories. My favorite...

    hello from a christian vaper

    I've been posting on the forums a while on the general discussion and a few other places, but never posted here... until now, so this is my first. I'm a Christian, though just barely. I started going to church again in my early 30's, a Continuing Anglican church near where I lived. I...

    does nic actually vaporize or just get stuck in vaped liquid

    I think it's the latter for the most part. And actually the e-cig produces an aerosol, not really vapor like a gas. The liquid is still a liquid, just atomized into tiny particles that float in the air.

    acne from vaping?

    You could just have adult acne. I had frequent acne into my 30's and I still get some, esp. when I cut back on my smoking and vape more. Maybe cigarette smoking was suppressing it, I noticed cigs seems to dry my skin and reduce oil production somewhat (I did not smoke the whole time during my...

    Good but inexpensive liquid

    i'm very happy with Dekang and Hangsen. Are they the best? No. But they are very good values. I use them for mixing with unflavored WTA. My favorite is just RY4 and Cubano.

    what's an easy rebuildable tank?

    I actually have an Evod (well, it's a L-Rider MT3, but it can use evod heads), but I never consider that as a possibility. I watched a youtube video of rebuilding the head but it still looks like a lot of work. But I'll take your advice. The suggestion of trying a dripper sounds like a...

    what's an easy rebuildable tank?

    I'm looking for a small (2ml), lightweight, easily rebuildable tank as I might want to try making my own coils. Does anything like this exist?

    Quitting Smoking and Depression...Round 2

    I would either go to a doctor to get antidepressants, or try WTA. WTA doesn't have that many downsides, especially if you use just enough to get you out of depression. It's got a little more addictive potential but it's nothing like smoking a cigarette and having the chemicals reach your...

    Vaping and stress.

    They have their own websites. aromaejuice.com and wholecig.com I make up my own RY4 flavor using Wholecig unflavored WTA and a few other ingredients, then mix it in with Dekang's RY4. Regular e-liquid just doesn't cut it for me either for stress smoking, so I use WTA. Wholecig's...

    FDA The Predicate Product of 2006 for FDA: Meet the Ruyan V8 , Early Innovator and Marketer of E-Ciig Vaping

    I don't see zero nicotine e-liquid not being regulated the same as other e-juice. If you think the government wouldn't have a problem with it being marketed to minors, can you say "gateway"?
