    imgur video?

    Using the embed video button it says "imgur albums and gifv" - so I have to put a video in its own album to embed it? Tried just using the direct link to the vid... no go. Also tried the embed code (which uses a js script) ... no go. If it's possible to embed an imgur video in a post, please...

    Found this on an insurance site (!) ... HInsurance -E-Cigarettes help smokers quit, ban reflex and 'no harm' perception must be challenged Basically talks about how many smokers couldn't quit until e-cigs came along, now everyone wants to ban e-cigs because they cannot prove zero harm and how...

    Mixed feelings about this Dr's article...

    tobaccoanalysis. blogspot .com/2015/07/study-on-potential-toxicity-of-e.html#disqus_thread Even though it's mostly good, I broke the link because he's calling for FDA regs. Part of it's kinda funny, because he started talking about the Tobacco Control Journal's study of flavors in e-cigs, then...

    Are you sure you want to like this post?

    I got this when trying to like a post (obviously lol) - never seen or heard of this before. It loaded a new page with "Are you sure you want to like this post?" Is this new? Was it triggered because I liked too many posts overall? Or liked too many posts in a short time frame? Or...

    Strange issues with kanger subtank mini & occ coils

    My first st mini just refused to wick - tried tons of stuff, finally decided it had to be a defective tank and got a new one. Now I'm wondering if it was defective after all... or if it was, maybe my new one is too (what are the odds?) Definite improvement with the new one. But still has...

    Singers who vape?

    Hubby and I are both musicians who quit smoking and started vaping just over 4 months ago. I barely do a little backup vocals, but hubby is an awesome lead singer. He told me that he has noticed a definite increase in his vocal range since he quit smoking, but he is having more trouble with...

    What happened to the Alerts popup at top-right?

    I hate the one at the bottom - seems to always pop up right in my way!! But the Alerts notification at top right was very useful - hovered it and it gave a list that I could click on to go to the thread. Now I have to actually click on Alerts and load the Alerts page. Did I accidentally...

    iStick 50w meltdown? Help!

    My istick is about a month or so old. Haven't really had trouble with it - saw voltage jump a time or two, but the tank wasn't screwed on firmly each time, so I didn't think it was an issue. Just now - it's sitting on the table next to me and I hear sizzling and popping. I can see the numbers...

    Prewash new kanger coils before use?

    I'm sitting here breaking in a new bcc coil for my subtank mini and thinking, YUCK this tastes gross! It takes quite a while for me to get the nasty taste off of a new coil. I've been considering breaking one out of the blister pk and soaking it in vodka or everclear before I ever even use it...

    if.then.fund ?

    Just found an interesting website - if.then.fund - founded by 2 people who have a history of helping people get information about congressional activities and become more involved (one of them is a former hacker who started govtrack.us ) It works like this - when a bill is up for vote in...

    What could be wrong with my Kanger subtank mini?

    I've had this thing about 2 weeks, and if I didn't love the flavor and vapor when it's working right I would have already thrown it in the garbage. IT WON'T WICK!! I would have suspected bad coils, but it's done this with the coil that came with it, along with 4 coils from a 5pk I bought...

    Flavors - which are VG, PG, other?

    I am about to make my 2nd batch of juices, and learning a lot as I go, but this has me stumped. I bought flavors in several brands, and incorrectly assumed they had no PG or VG, so I didn't allow for those in my calculator. Now I'm realizing this could be throwing my PG/VG blend off. So on my...

    cheesecake flavor that's light on lemon?

    A local version of creamy cheesecake was my first true love... then they changed their recipe and now it's tooooo lemony! So this started me down the road of making my own - I've read TONS of reviews of DIY cheesecake flavors - this one's yucky, that one's good, they all seem to need a good...
