    CDC Exposed For Botched Vape Research

    I am not an insider, so opinions are my own, etc. The thing I do keep in mind though is that the CDC is not a single-person or single-mindset organization. Like all large organizations, there are inward facing parts and outward. The inner research teams probably are very methodical. Question...

    Nicotine Absorption from Juul, new study

    It is actually old news, and we've read studies on nicotine absorption before. Yes to both above. Juul did two things well, or horrendous, depending on your point of view. #1 worked with a lab to create the first nicotine salts that deliver more nicotine faster like a cigarette, and #2 lots...

    I got the impression TC is unpopular - but why?

    Yea, I use SS coils my RDAs for the option, but power modes can provide a decent experience too. I see why some people prefer not bother with TC.

    I got the impression TC is unpopular - but why?

    I don't know that TC was ever all that popular so much as it was hyped for a while as the next new thing. For those tanks with pre-made coils, and now pods, TC is typically not an option. For those using rebuild-able tanks (e.g., RDAs) and a mod that does TC well, it's still a desirable way to...

    How to choose good mod?

    The Jackaroo is a decent mod and supports 21700s. Tough mod and waterproof. It also doesn't drain batteries when not in use (some mods do). Left mine on the shelf for a month and the battery is just as it was when I last used it. The only real negatives are it's heavy if you plan to carry it...

    Got a response from my state rep and it's not good

    Personally, if it came down to this FDA deeming regulations thing (oranges), or paying a tax on vaping products and an open market (apples), second choice please. The lesser of two not ideal choices.

    I think this video is just a stand-in for the frustration many of us feel. So much mis-information about vaping. Call it the /vent at more stupid information thread ;)

    About As Ignorant As It Gets.

    And well, learning math and the topics around it is hell of hard work, takes putting in thousands+ hours to grasp any topic even at a beginner level. Eating at Wendy's or McDonalds takes no effort, nor does recanting a few phrases from Sunday's judgement day sermons. I am gonna say this guy is...

    Amen, but I can admit that scientists and physicist are a .... load smarter then I am, and some people find their egos threatened by that. I cannot possibly keep up, but I will choose scientists every day over bs ;)

    @barkfunklerbunk - Just watch out for those sorcerer scientists. They might start throwing those mathematical incantations at you.

    Why People Are Smoking Again

    Well you know, speaking of 'media', I mean cool, he is pro-vaping (I guess), but anyone can say people are going back to smoking in enough numbers to mention it, but where is the proof, data, something?

    USA leads the planet in vaping by far

    No idea where this data came from, and I can't tell if that report was about devices, e-juice sales, both? But sure, it wouldn't be surprising to learn that the USA spends the most on vape devices. From an alternative point of view though, the current focus on vaping being evil remains...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    You just had to remind us right? Kidding! Indeed, my fellow speaker from across the pond, if only our politicians could take a lesson from the UK on this.

    Who will win FDA approval on vape devices / liquids - post ban?

    We had a nearby tobacco store that sold cured tobacco by the bag. $25-$30. They also had a rollie (sp?) machine. Wait a few minutes and it would churn out a carton. New laws, and so they had to shut-down and re-open as a vape shop. I guess the government didn't want sales of tobacco...

    How often do you press your Squonk bottle?

    I don't think about it much, as others wrote, when the taste changes, seems a bit harsh, time to squeeze the bottle. Maybe every 3rd or 4th hit? It might depend on what atomizer you are using? I squonk using a Profile RDA and mesh coil. Big clouds and all that, but it burns through e-juice...

    is it safe to use a .1 ohm coil on a vtc4?

    I sort of get the appeal of mech mods being smaller, but sometimes it devolves into I want to own a toaster without a ground wire, just to prove I can. Why again is it necessary to push a battery to that limit?

    Looking for Mod - quality TC, durable and dual 18650

    Logic has gone off the rails here Mordacai. I wish it wasn't so, but this is what happens when people value politicians for their charisma over those boring (but honest) scientists ;)

    Who will win FDA approval on vape devices / liquids - post ban?

    Between the cost, legalize, and time required to submit, keeping in mind a submission may be denied on a whim, only a company with very deep pockets will even try, and... see below. Just even reading through the submission requirements is a slog. There is so much that is vague, and good luck...
