    Free DIY in the Northwest Burbs of Chicago - Good stuff to give away

    I'm in the NW burbs and will stop vaping completely when I move to my new place. The folks here offered a lot to me when I started and I'd like to give back. If you DIY and live close by I have a lot of flavors and PG/VG that I would like to get into the hands of someone that will use it. I...

    The great vaping debate

    "It’s hysteria for the most part, the kind of moral panic liberals love to stoke to justify a crackdown which invariably places government regulators — the ultimate kill-joys — in control of national policy. There are a lot of misconceptions about vaping and nicotine. In many vaping devices, it...

    One of these days they will realize (or publish) the truth .....clueless "Vaping is more common among teens than adults. About 13 percent of high school students use e-cigarettes or other vaping devices." Smoking reaching all-time low with US adults, government report shows

    "Vaping held steady last year in high school students and declined in middle school kids, according to new government data, but some researchers are skeptical" They really don't have a clue what is happening with today's youth but continue to enact laws that will save 400,000 lives in the US by...

    Reliable online source for PG/VG

    I normally purchase from Essential Depot but I need a new source for comparable PG/VG from an online supplier. I need VG and they still haven't shipped the order I made on the 24th, but they did charge my credit card ;) I've always liked their quality but need a backup.

    Essential depot - your order shipped.....not!

    I have used Essential depot for my PG/VG since I started DIY and have been reasonably satisfied until today. Honestly I feel a bit scammed. I made the purchase on the 5/24 and on 5/25 I received an e-mail stating my purchase had shipped with tracking information. Since then I have checked to...

    Smoking: a rundown on lighting up

    It's amazing that our government isn't more supportive of vaping as a method of cessation. In almost every article written these days vaping is mentioned as a cause for the decline in cigarette use. One death every 6 seconds is staggering! "Tobacco is the leading cause of preventable death...

    France had a million fewer smokers in 2017

    Just a small blurb at the end but at least Europe admits the positive impact vaping is having on smoking cessation. I wonder when the US will catch up. "At the press conference, Francois Bourdillon of France's public health agency did note that e-cigarettes were "clearly" the smoking cessation...

    Horus RTA is in the house and a good vape

    Ordered from FT on 5/1, shipped on 5/3 and delivered on 5/16. To the tank, I ordered two and I'm glad I did, I believe it's right up there with the Zeus. The tank is well built and was very clean, no oil or residue. The overall build quality is a 9/10. The packaging was also excellent and it...

    Millions try E-cigarettes, but many stop

    Funny, SG threw in his two cents but of course didn't have a study to support the statement. How can a person that constantly shoots from the hip be taken even remotely serious? "Greg Conley, president of the American Vaping Association, believes the findings provide evidence that e-cigarettes...

    OBS Engine Nano builds

    So I love my Zeus, the ease building and consistent flavor keep me using those exclusively. I want to love my Nano's since I have four but just don't get the flavor out of them but I know it's got to be my build. I went through part of the OBS Nano thread but damn it's a lot of reading to find...

    How can the media do a story and be so uninformed?

    Dr. Marc Siegel: E-cigarettes pose special danger to teens They throw the words "may" and "gateway" without any supporting data. It's insane that there is little or no research completed by the main stream media anymore.

    FDA To Take Action but admit they just don't know...

    "MARTIN: So you don't know the answer - we don't know the answer yet to whether or not these are a safer alternative than cigarettes.

    No easy answer to controlling smoking

    The last paragraph pretty much sums up the reality of smoking. Now if they would just understand there is another...... safer option! "In the end, choosing to smoke is a personal decision not easily controlled by making it more difficult to purchase tobacco products. There is no simple answer...

    Teens Love Vaping Flavors, and It’s a Regulatory Nightmare

    "Traditional cigarette smoking in America has dropped to historic lows, and it looks like electronic cigarettes could be helping. As “vaping” grows in popularity, studies have shown that the habit encourages adult smokers to quit the older, nastier version. But there’s a big problem—teenagers...
