    I wonder?

    I'd go for a combination of nicotine gum, which I already use sometimes, and an occasional salvia off. and lavender cigarette, unless dry herb vaporisers still exist in your scenario. Not tobacco. I don't want to combine nicotine use and smoking, it's a killer combination.

    I'm new here - vaping doesn't seem to work

    I agree with salt nicotine having a quick effect. I should probably have written bite. I find freebase nicotine gives more of a harsh feeling. I miss from smoking: The burning sensation. I like adding a little freebase nicotine and some mint because of that. The lightheadedness from the...

    I'm new here - vaping doesn't seem to work

    Vaping requires an adjustment, also physically. Discomfort is to be expected. There's the fact that you're inhaling an aerosol. Little droplets of liquid that easily settle on the surface of your airways. This is something the body needs to adjust to, some people deal better with it than...

    Vaping while lying down hurts

    I have some discomfort when I vape laying on my side or my back. I found out, stopped doing it. I had the same with smoking. I'm guessing it's just not the best position for that sort of a thing. When I'm laying down I'm also most often pretty tired and things hurt more all by themselves.

    Accidently left My vape under the sun

    Probably ok, depending on your climate and on how hot the surface was that you left it on. Doesn't hurt to do a quick visual check on the battery for bulging, peeling insulation etc. before firing it.

    Why buy from China?

    Shanzhai simply demonstrates a fundamentally different way of viewing human creative endeavour as a collaborative effort in which reinterpretation is key. This clashes with our idea of intellectual property, where designing or branding something closely similar to a successful product is...

    Who's idea was it to add a cannabis vaping section?

    Yes, weed is a drug. Getting it out of the shadows is a good thing. I fear that also means pushing it into grabby pharmafingers. Education and legalisation should go hand in hand. ECF was and is a large part of the education of many vapers. Reading attentively here minimises the risk of - for...

    Trouble - they found out about dripping

    A 2017 publication on a 2015 dataset, and quite a ridiculous one at that. They just didn't get the concept of dripping right. Dripping juice straight onto a hot coil? Do you do that?

    Please explain to me: those who died, what were they vaping?

    I didn't know vaping THC in the way we vape juice was that common in the US. Here when people refer to vaping weed, they're often referring to a dry herb vaporiser or a dab stick. All I figured when I heard it is that you probably need to know what you're doing when making funny juice. At...

    So...We Never liked it all along!?

    Vape packaging and styling of vape gear could be more restrained. The same is demanded of cigarette packaging in many places. Addictive behaviour is common in humans. People will continue to get into vaping or smoking, at any age, as long as it's possible. Many people start smoking in their...

    UK had 1st Oil Vaping-Related Death in 2010, US has 17th.

    That is certainly interesting! I hope equally interesting: I was talking to my neighbor who happens to do a very dirty job for a very dirty branch of a well known very dirty oil company without proper protection. He explained how all of his colleagues smoke, how smokes are available at a...

    Vaping completely banned @ Texas A&M University

    It's a mercy if you consider the department of education's management of student loans. Basically, the board is telling you to handle your exam stress with a pack of ciggies, effectively taking a week off of your debt riddled post uni life for every test. Land (i.e. tobacco plantation), sea...

    UK had 1st Oil Vaping-Related Death in 2010, US has 17th.

    I seem to remember an episode of Frasier where Niles goes on and on about the amount of insect particles allowed in products to pass testing for common standards. These threads are worrisome, I can see the article already "World's largest vaping community concerned about recent vaping related...

    The FastTech Thread for All FastTech Posts (Part 2)

    This is always the busiest time on FastTech and the server often becomes unavailable. Reloading a few times should do you ;-) Edit: I am now unable to get on too, it was working fine just a little while ago (with refreshing and waiting). Maybe maintenance.

    What's your age & what are you vaping right now ?

    26, unflavoured 9 or 10 mg (depending on if I'm using 18mg base or 20mg nic base). Having a quick look at the average age here I understand a little better why my husband still doesn't get why I'm not on Reddit:lol: I'm nostalgic I guess. I got into forums in my mid teens when they were the...

    New 'baddie'. Mint/ menthol flavor causes cancer.

    @Blitzdonlife I feel it's both. Balancing the intake of substances of which you do not know the exact toxicity is at the basis of our daily diet. However, substances that are immediately toxic in low doses should not be part of that mix. That's all fine considering health as just physical...

    Hello! Many greetings from Italy!

    Hi there and welcome! Italy is very interesting to me when it comes to vaping. Lots of reviewers and public discussion. Famous atomiser designers too. I love the Italian inspired small MTL RDAs. How's it there, apart from the people parroting some nonsense from dodgy sources? Do people look at...

    New 'baddie'. Mint/ menthol flavor causes cancer.

    Pulegone is naturally present in mint. Mint is known for being quite stimulating. Strong mint preparations are very inflammatory. Studies repeatedly show oxidative stress in cells exposed to the flavouring. Menthol cigarettes have often been blamed for being designed to dull the burning...
