    Research Article show vaping "doesn't" help smokers quit

    Who cares? I quit smoking in 2010 with e-cigs after trying to quit 8 times prior using various methods. Haven't smoked a cigarette since 4/1/10. Now tell me why I should care that a "study" shows ecigs won't help me quit. I already did. And so have millions of other people worldwide, while...

    FDA gagged media on "deeming" press release

    I don't think a political bias explains this particular phenomenon. The media is agreeing to these terms because they are denied access if they don't. Sure, the media started the "embargo" practice in the 1920's but that was not the "close hold embargo" we are seeing today with the FDA. The...

    Aspire Triton Tank, problem with coils

    So I just bought the Aspire Triton Tank (ver. 2.0). Bought 15 spare coils from an online vendor. Anyway, the first coil I used came with the tank, and it lasted 7 days, which is great. Then I started with the spares I bought, and I've gone through 4 in 1 day. After a few hours, I get an...

    Sigelei - batteries won't charge

    OK thanks, I'll get an external charger. I do however find it odd that the onboard charger worked perfectly well with these batteries until today.

    Sigelei - batteries won't charge

    So I have this Sigelei mod: MINI BOOK_Starter kits_SIGELEI Electronic Cigarette - And both batteries I have will not charge in it. It isn't the batteries because one is 2 months old and the other, 2 weeks old, but both do not charge in this device suddenly as of today. The Sig shows that the...

    CNN Front page "Right under their noses. Vaping: A discreet new way to abuse drugs"

    How many of these "patients suffering from synthetic drug overdoses" used e-cig hardware to ingest it? Doesn't matter really, because they already served their purpose in getting readers to connect e-cig->synthetic drug use. The average reader doesn't even notice the distinction because they...

    CNN Front page "Right under their noses. Vaping: A discreet new way to abuse drugs"

    That ranks among the most ludicrous articles I've ever read on the topic of vaping. And on the front page no less. Vague claims that are substantiated with single anecdotes, an isolated comment from some cop in Florida. Misleading use of statistics. Example: "Usage among high-schoolers was...

    E-cigarettes 10 times more cancerstuff than analog says Japan researcher

    I agree that many of these researchers are putting a spin on their findings. However, the media is also to blame. A science reporter should have at least a basic level of comprehension, enough to read a report and get an accurate gist of it. Heck, even someone with a high school education can...

    E-cigarettes 10 times more cancerstuff than analog says Japan researcher

    Of course we should address the legitimate toxicological findings which raise some concerns. However, are you seriously suggesting that until we do so, we should allow the media to tell us that a study which finds one class of carcigens at varying levels at high temperature conditions in a...

    E-cigarettes 10 times more cancerstuff than analog says Japan researcher

    The staggering dishonesty of this article turned out to be blessing in disguise. My mother e-mailed me about this piece of "journalism." The article is a new low even as e-cig related media coverage goes. I answered her with the following rather simple counterpoint: This article takes a...

    TIME magazine says: E-cigarettes do not help people quit smoking..

    I tried 6 times to quit smoking before trying e-cigs. I first tried e-cigs on 4/1/10 and haven't had a drag off a cigarette since. Now ask me how much I care about some study telling me e-cigs won't help me quit. They already did. The research regarding health risks is important. Research...

    REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas

    Yes, that is where the air holes for the atomizer are. But what I wondered about was how does air get to those holes when it is screwed onto the catch cup. It isn't through the nipple, not if the bottle and tube are attached. There must be some grooves, holes or something in the cup. I'm...

    REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas

    It's been going on for about a week now, which leads me to believe that something has gotten clogged up. Upon examining the catch cup, I don't think I understand the mechanism by which air escapes. I'm considering just doing an immersion but I'd like to know what kind of liquid. Warm water?

    Grand is new, 3 weeks old. I'll try cleaning it more thoroughly and see if that does the trick. Thanks for the suggestions.

    REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas

    It isn't the atty in this case. I've used several, and 2 differnt kinds. If I detach the bottle and tube, the draw loosens up. Also, I tried transferring this current atty to an eGo batt and the draw is not tight. It's something to do with the REO.

    REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas

    I'm having a problem with getting a tight draw on my new Reo Grand. The draw gets tight very fast with a new atomizer and stays that way. Draw loosens up if I disconnect the bottle and tube from the nipple so I know it isn't that the atomizer is actually clogged. It's because the air holes...

    Stubborn old guys and a debate I need to win.

    It sucks that most people who first try vaping end up with those crappy over-priced products. There may well be millions of people who are smoking right now but would be vaping instead if those products were better. It's penny wise/pound foolish for the vendors to sell crappy products at high...

    REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas

    It's a new Grand. I had actually considered super glue already. How easily can the tube be removed after you do that?

    REO Tips & Tricks...some basic troubleshooting ideas

    Got a Grand about 3 weeks ago. I'm loving it but there is one problem. What can I do to prevent the tube from detaching from the valve, causing the juice to spill all over the inside when I squeeze the bottle? It's happened about 5 times so far. Once I got juice on my shirt (stains)...
