    Allowed to vape at work?

    I am really surprised at the amount of fellow vapors that are allowed to vape at work. I work for a major insurance company that adopted a "tobacco free" policy last year. When I advised that my e-cig did not contain tobacco and it was not smoke but rather a vapor being emitted they were not...

    Awesome Vapors

    I have been ordering from Awesome Vapors for over a year. Always lighting fast service and the samples are also great. If you are a menthol fan, their juice is the bomb. The ONLY one I have found that comes close IMHO. Way to go Arno family and Awesome Vapor.:toast:

    Diagnosed with PAD

    Let me give you a real experience since changing to e-cigs. I used to get sinus infections 4-6 times per year. EVERY FREAKIN YEAR. Since switching to e-cigs over 9 months ago, I have not had one infection needing antibiotics. Hooray for my e-cigs...... I had another round of tests ran today and...

    Diagnosed with PAD

    Well here are my thoughts. I never have eaten healthy...... I was somewhat active before the last year. What happen to me was I was sent to work in an in-office environment (which I have not been in for years) for almost a year straight. So I sat all day long at computers with little activity...

But now my question is, is contiuing to vape nicotine going to hender my recovery efforts of an improved diet and some exercise?:confused: Everything I've read says...

    Fog Machine Fog Causes Decrease in Lung Function - Comparison to e-Cigs

    I've been analog free for going on 7 months now. I vape ALOT. 50 times more than I ever smoked, I'm convinced I am not getting anywhere close to the nicotine intake I got with analogs. Well let me clarify that, I am not getting something that the analogs gave me. The biggest side effects I have...

    Need help responding to Ban

    The powers above did respond. As I expected of course the ban on e-cigs stands. Their philosophy was "E-Cigarettes have not been studied or proven to be a smoking cessation product". ?? Okay, never said it was, just told my story.That was about the jest of it. They offered to help me get...

    Need help responding to Ban

    I sent in my letter to the powers above stating the facts and the benefits I have gained. It was forwarded up the ladder and I will see what happens. I used some of the great ideas you guys presented here. This site has been my source of support for quiting tobacco. I did site that the Tobacco...

    Need help responding to Ban

    Yea, I work for a very large Insurace Company with way too much power to fight head on. All I want to do is make someone do a little more research on our vaping devices prior to just following the herd. I'm sure I will get shot down in the long run. As for them searching vehicles, they have all...

    Their Tobacco Free Policy is on all property. And Yes some of thier properties are massive, so yes it is a big deal. Depeding on where you may be working you could have to walk quite a ways. Also, the policy states you cannot have the tobacco on their property. So that also means you can not...

    Need help responding to Ban

    Thanks for all the good input and support. This was a huge blow to me as I am working on month six being TOBACCO FREE. I guess I just need to approach this a way where they won't be able to fire me after 33 years of service over vaping. I too, and tired of these uber liberal people making policy...

    Need help responding to Ban

    Just received news that my company has adopted a Tobacco/Free policy in all locatios. The problem with the policy is that it includes e-cigs....... I'm looking for a good rebutle letter to send our HR department to attempt to state my case. Obviously they are budling nicotine in with tobacco in...

    Side effects of vaping PG

    The cost will eventually even out. I've spent a ton for all the new gadgets and trying to find that just right juice. Now I think I have finally arrived where I need to be and the only thing I have to order is replacement parts and some juice. The savings (monetary) will come. The health...

    Has anyone had this sort of issue/reaction to vaping (allergic or otherwise)?

    Not sure about the infections! I must say that since I stopped smoking analogs and started vaping months ago, I no longer suffer from sinus infections. (knock on wood) I would usually get at least 10 a year serious enough for the need for antibiotics. I do notice since I started vaping I do...

    blood pressure changes???

    I've been vaping for over three months with the same BP as always. I really cannot see where vaping would cause a rise in BP unless you are vaping 36mg constantly all day long. I vape a lot, anywhere from 12-24 mg. At night it is almost continous. Depending on work (which I am back at) I have to...

    Joye 510 = Mr unreliabel :(

    I have converted to dripping all the time. The carts are a hassle to me. When I want to vape a few drops on the atty and it's good to go. If it's not the battery issue you may want to try it.

    What is the best e-cig for a newbie ?

    The 501 with a manual battery is IMHO by far the best to start out with.

    Pro or Con - Green Smoke e-cig

    I ordered these a long while back and they were terrible. The carts were old think, and tasted nasty. I emailed them and all I got was more of their junk. I took a cart apart trying to refill one to get some better taste and there was a black gunck all over the bottom of the cart. I would not...
