    The FDA is Why People Are Getting Hurt

    I haven't posted since May 2018 but now it's time. I hate to say it, but I saw these health issues coming when they decided to go to war against teen vaping and ramped up regs, including making it very difficult for minors to obtain legal and semi-regulated nic products. I support changes to do...

    Picture of Your Setup Part 3!

    So a while back I saw this thread and wanted to post my daily setup which has been a Kylin RTA v2 with a eLeaf QC200 or TC200 usually with a single coil parallel core Clapton (2X or 3X) running between 40-80W at about 0.15-0.3 Ohms. I already wanted to build a wooden vape stand from scratch so...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    We are all just starting to get data on the level of risk. We have assumed, and rightly so, that vaping is far safer than analogs but objective scientists (there seems to be fewer these days), physicians and regulators need data to draw conclusions. This continuing stream of data will help but...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    I agree, and more will come that I hope will help the FDA understand the relative risk of e-cigs compared to analogs. Both excellent studies validating the huge health delta between cigarettes and e-cigs. The first validates that some chemicals (T98 & T100) found in analogs don't exist in...

    First road trip and vacation after starting vaping/quitting the cigs

    That's great news, congrats! Vaping is sooo much better than cancer sticks. I love vape success stories :)

    Senators urge FDA to take action on Juul e-cigarettes

    I think the FDA statement today is very encouraging because they are focused (at least for now) on enforcing existing laws and calling out retailers caught selling to minors - great first step. Kids will find creative ways to get access to Juuls and other e-cig products but let's make it as hard...

    Question for experienced DIY mixers

    Please make sure that the flavor concentrate you have is NOT oil based - vaporization of oils can get you sick. If it's not, go for it - it will help your flavor for sure. GL.

    Do shops in your area deny tasting flavors due to the flu?

    PG does kill the flu virus, even in very small quantities...Dr. Roberts proved that in a 1942 experiment: To determine how inhaled propylene glycol might affect the lungs and respiratory health, Dr. Roberts gathered some laboratory mice and separated them into two groups. He placed each group...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    That's fantastic. It looks like it's fairly consistent across the wattage levels tested with each MTL puff being about 8% hotter than the DTL. As always, excellent work @mikepetro!

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Capillary action occurs at the molecular level and is highly dependent on the surface tension of the individual molecules in a mixture and not the mixed fluid. If the fluid constituents have similar properties then the capillary action will likely yield minimal separation. Check out this short...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Aside from the boiling point, there's also the viscosity difference between PG and VG which is about 18X difference so the PG will be absorbed by the cotton about 18X faster then the VG. There are other factors to consider but looking at capillarity alone, PG makes it to the coil much faster...

    Looking for new tank.

    My criteria for the last tank I bought were very similar to yours - great airflow and flavor. I'm very happy with my Kylin RTA v2. Welcome back from the dark side and GL with your search!

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    This research is very significant IMO. The dynamics of vaping are highly complex and they not only investigated the transport phenomena but also created a strong framework for other researchers to follow. I know it's not perfect, and Temperature should have been a variable, but I'm sure...

    Maybe the FDA Can Semi-Objectively Regulate E-Cigs?

    Ok, I know most readers are already starting to read this thinking "no way" after reading the title but yesterday there was some evidence that maybe they are data-driven and possibly even a little rational and politically agnostic! They approved the first cannabidiol based drug ever - Epidiolex...

    Senators urge FDA to take action on Juul e-cigarettes

    Juuling IS a problem with teens. My son is 14 and many of his friends are doing it and he has tried it a few times and told me. I don't want any teens becoming addicted to nicotine. With that said, this is MUCH better than smoking and some of the other risk-taking activities they engage in. The...
