    Florida HB 1143 ?

    I have not been on here lately as I gave up vaping at the end of 2010, but I still keep up with what is happening as best as I can. To that end I was chasing down this HB 1143 bill after seeing the email from CASAA. Here is the interesting circular argument they have made. Follow the...

    RJR eclipse

    I can offer some further information on this part of the story. I had a pack of Primier's when they first came out. They were being test marketed in North Carolina and some friends bought some and we all had a pack or two. I smoked most of one of them. It was the worst idea ever. The taste...

    Evidence of FDA contempt of court AND perjury over seized shipments

    To constitute perjury you have to intentionally misrepresent facts that are important to a case. The real key here is that it has to be proven that you did this willfully and that your intent was to mislead the court. However, dancing around very close to lying to a judge can easily get you a...

    Sounds like a hidden danger in E cigs has surfaced

    When I first switched to vaping from smoking I noticed my BP was higher. It took me a few days to figure out what had caused it. Here was my issue. Most people do not know that some of the chemicals in smoking cause caffeine to have less effect on you. For years I drank 2 POTS of coffee a...

    Did you think it wouldn't work?

    I thought it would just be a fun toy. Something to pull out at the office to joke with. On day 3 I realized it could actually replace smoking. On day 4 it did. I am still surprised. I was the last person I would have thought would have stopped cigs. I wasn't even looking to quit.

    New Eissenberg study vindicates e-cigarettes

    Very interesting find. They show almost no nicotine elevation with the e-cigs, but show a slight trending of heart rate change. Since they say the "sham" product was the persons own brand, I assume this was simply puffing on an unlit cig. I wonder how much of the satisfaction effect is...

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    Although the FDA alludes that they "could" even allow marketing while approval documentation is completed they go on to use the following example. The FDA may see this as a great example of their case, but I would like to point out that Favor was never allowed to attempt FDA approval and was...

    Where do the chinese manufacturers get nicotine?

    In spite of the war the U.S. seems to be waging against tobacco, tobacco growing has long been a government subsidized crop in the U.S. In order to grow tobacco in the U.S. you have to have a tobacco allotment. This limitation keeps the prices higher for the farmers. Because of this tobacco...

    Current smoker, curious about the possibilities of e-cigs?..

    One thing that you get from normal cigs is an instant hit from carbon monoxide that comes from incomplete burning. That is that sort of light headed rush that comes with that first hit. E-cigs can't give you that. The nicotine hits a bit slower. Normally about the 5th puff you feel the nic...

    how many ml do you go through a day?

    I smoked 1 pack of Marl Lights a day and now I use 2 to 3 ml of 18 mg/ml per day. Normally a bit less during the week and more on the weekends. I keep everything in the fridge and fill a couple of 6 ml bottles to leave out. Then refill those little bottles as needed from the fridge.

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    When dealing with gov't agencies it can mean more than that. I don't know about the FDA, but I work with the EPA alot and when they say they will promulgate new rules they generally mean the new rule will be put on the books. Once they do that anyone that doesn't like the newly created rules...

    Travel and Vaping Just got stopped by TSA

    TSA has been very cool with PV's. Just put everything in your carry on and they don't even check it. Delta and some of the other airlines have banned PV's on planes, but many people stealth it without an issue. I can see the airlines point that anything that makes vapor or smoke is going to...

    Edition 2 Cartomizers

    I just like the idea of having the light where I can see it when it blinks without putting my finger on the end to reflect it. Strangely, I have mega batteries and an ego and when I go out, I find myself carrying the little 180 batt and a pcc.

    Cheesecake & Sweetener

    The only question I have is this. I like the carmel popcorn and butter rum just like you have been making them. Is this sweetened or unsweetened? I assume the old recipes are sweetened, but I want to be sure. Sorry for the confusion. :)

    New blank cartos not very thirsty!

    The premiums seem to wick slower. Try putting the end on till it starts to try to come out the batt end, then put the other condom end with the plug on it. Then put the cart in a bag batt end down and spin it. The juice in the upper condom will transfer quick.

    V4L Premium cartomizer help

    My normal fill for a new V4L premium cart is as follows: Add 25 drops. Spin it. Add 10 more. Spin it. Add 10 more. Let it sit on end while I fill another. Then put the cap back on. If it gurgles, blow out maybe 2 drops and go. I have gotten 45-50 drops into new ones routinely. On...

    Is this a decent e-cig?

    For a shorty e-cig I would recommend either a V4L shorty battery with cartomizer or a smoketip kit. Essentially they are the same thing and the parts are interchangeable. In either case, you'll want at least 2 batteries and a PCC (Portable Personal Charger). The little 180 mAh batteries last...

    Canadian brand imitations? ^_^

    The Irish Cream is good. Its very sweet and has just a hint of coconut taste for some reason. It doesn't make a ton of vapor at first, but after a few puffs it vapes really well. The bottle I have is all PG I think, so I am considering cutting it with maybe 10% VG to up the vapor production a...
