Fairly balanced, notes the "think of teh children" ban in Hong Kong, mentions the FDA's case-by-case stance: The future of smoking?

Anyone know if/when those nifty charger cases will be available for the longer manual batteries like those on the Dura-C? Or are they out there already somewhere?

Dragging Us Down. A couple of snippets to give you the feel:Perhaps most amazingly, the HHS Secretary's decision whether or not to ban the "modified risk" product from the marketplace is not to be based on whether or not the product actually provides a reduced risk or other benefit to...

I ... don't know what to say, so I'll let the article speak for itself: A new inhaler - dubbed Le Whif - has been developed by scientists, allowing chocoholics to enjoy all the treats they can handle for zero calories. ... "It seemed to us that eating was tending toward breathing, so...

Is it possible to extract nicotine liquid from patches and use it for vaping? I only ask because they're giving them away for free in Massachusetts: Free nicotine patches for smokers who want to quit

Thread title is the headline to this nicely evenhanded article. One rather desperate-sounding quote from Jinlene Chan, acting deputy officer of public health for some county Health Department, caught my eye: The electronic cigarette has no tar, carbon monoxide or smoke that is linked to lung...

Does anyone have any thoughts on the efficiency of different e-cigs in terms of how much liquid they use? My feeling is that the Pilot/M401 style is a bit of an econobox - it sips fuel but doesn't produce huge amounts of vapour - whereas the Dura is more like a muscle car - loads of vapour but...

A story on myvictoria with a video report about economic woes for tobacconists as taxes go up has some quite positive mentions of e-cigs.

I just found a nearly-full pack of analogs on the bus.

Ok maybe not, but that's the angle this guy in Slate decided to focus on: Finally, there's always the electronic cigarette, a battery-operated contraption that delivers a nicotine solution dissolved in water and propylene glycol, the stuff used in fog machines. Though public health officials...

Or vapour rings I suppose I should call them. Anyway, what is it about PVs that brings about an uncontrollable urge to blow smoke rings? I'd blame my reading of The Hobbit at an impressionable age but I never blew smoke rings much when I smoked dead leaf cigarettes, so why have I started now...

At least according to this rather misinformed and misinforming opinion piece in a college paper, the Arizona Wildcat: "However, the cigarette is created to look like a normal cigarette, so it emits puffs of smoke. ..." Why are people so stupid?

Not sure if this would be better in the "Legal" section, but here goes. What do you tell your insurance company if you've quit analogs but vape? How about if you only vape zero nicotine? I can see a nasty situation where an insurance company withholds payment because you broke a leg but...

Inflation of claims, both for how cartridges perform and the recommended retail price of kits are getting out of hand. These people reckon that the recommended retail price of a kit is $199 and that one cartridge is equivalent to 2 packs of dead leaf cigarettes. I have no idea if their product...

I haven't seen any definite guidance so here's my n00b questions for the day about the liquids. - Are there any storage recommendations for liquid? I've just got a sampler set from Johnson Creek and I notice that all the bottles are brown glass, so I'm taking that as a hint to store them out...

I'd like a manual way to switch on the LED and use it as a flashlight. For example, twist the end of the cig a quarter turn and the LED illuminates without heating up the atomiser. A way to swivel the frosted cover out might be useful as a way to improve the beam. While I'm at it, how about...

I went to a local bar in Seattle with my shiny new Janty Dura last night and it went pretty well so I thought I'd share. A few people at the bar were comparing their various electronic toys - iPhone, Blackberry, MP3 players, etc. - so I took the opportunity to show them my Dura. The reaction...

Hi all. I just got my first e-cig - a Janty Dura starter set which so far I'm loving. At the moment I'm using an old cigarette box with a few bits of paper for padding to carry around a couple of batteries and atomisers and three carts. I plan to start using fluid to refill the carts as soon as...
