    Doctor bashing and e-smoking

    I'm next scheduled to see him on Easter. LOL but I never asked him about VG and never would have. Just want to clear that up. I didn't ask him about VG because I'm personally against it, just me.

    Doctor bashing and e-smoking

    Scott, I'm going to use some portions of your post as a springboard, my comments are _not_ directed at you personally sir. Well, yes, of _course_ these studies will be done whether or not you or I want them to be done. If the studies on analog smoking were limited to "opt-in" only, we might...

    Li-Ion Batteries - THE TRUTH

    How'd you manage to measure that with the battery connected? Don't tell me you just connected the meter directly to the bare terminals with your meter set to measure mA's? Yikes! All I'd need to measure this properly is a dead battery for the fitting. That, or 5 hands to hold the leads...

    Li-Ion Batteries - THE TRUTH

    Lorddrek: Thanks for taking a few minutes to do some tests. Exactly where were you seeing the 114ma though? I'm running a small test of my own right now too. Thought I would take a slightly different approach here.... anyway will let you all know the results in a couple hours. Just want to...

    Li-Ion Batteries - THE TRUTH

    I've tried that. The Kill-A-Watt is not sensitive enough to even register the thing when it's definitely charging, so obviously it's not of much help when the green light comes on. My clamp on meter would be better suited for the job, and since this just requires cutting apart the power zip...

    Li-Ion Batteries - THE TRUTH

    Ok, got it. Since you charge a lot of batteries you _know_ that the current flow into the battery is stopped once the light turns green on this Chinese charger. Even though this is a completely different charger and completely different battery than you're used to. Not that you put a meter...

    Li-Ion Batteries - THE TRUTH

    I did snip the majority of your post, but the idea is preserved: You're saying it doesn't charge at _all_ once the light turns green. Can I ask what information you base that conclusion on?

    time for americans to unite??

    You guys don't even have guns! LOL!!!!!!! [Edit- Ok, maybe it was off-taste, but my last post WAS in fact a joke]

    time for americans to unite??

    Don't take this the wrong way, and I am 100% serious about this question, but... Is this thread about a .... meeting? ;)

    Will FDA interfere with domestic purchases?

    And if those little Chinse buggers can't get the shipments to where they are going, they are goin to be very unhappy Chinese buggers. So... as things evolve legal-wise they will learn to re-label.

    Travel and Vaping E-smoking on an airplane?

    No, sorry sir. I'm not going to DETONATE the friggin thing while I'm being examined by TSA. Therefore I do not need two power sources. (I don't know why I would need 2 power sources even IF I was going to blow up some TSA agents) I don't even need two switches either, as I can adjust the...

    Doctor bashing and e-smoking

    Well said, Sun, can't agree more. When they are paid to go on camera and talk about these things, well then they certainly have an obligation to figure out what the hell is going on first. And if they don't know, they should say I DON'T KNOW. On camera. I'll bet half of these TV doctors...

    Doctor bashing and e-smoking

    I see a lot of "doctor bashing" going on in this forum, many comments to the tune of "he should have done his homework first" about ecigs, and so on. Granted, most of the MD's to get "the treatment" here are the ones in these news clips, but there have been stories of individual office visits...

    voltage.....

    Hehehe I'm sure this has occurred to everyone already, but every bit of heat you have to heatsink away is wasted energy that should have gone to your atomizer instead. (Battery life, anyone?) I instinctively made that post about the voltage regulator but obviously that's not what you want to...

    voltage.....

    Reduce current or voltage? (Sorry, had to.) ;) There are _plenty_ of voltage regulator ICs you can buy, especially for 5V. If you have a non-nerfed Radio Shack in your area you can probably get one for around $2. Nice big leads too, so you can really abuse them, or do plenty of nonstandard...

    Worst E-cig Story Yet

    Yeah, I was just gonna say, a google search of a random sentence yielded this: The offending post Never heard of this engadget site before. This appears to be a one-paragraph blog-type entry. Whoopie. Do people really read this crap all day? Man. I think it's hilarious. People that...

    Well, I guess I need to try and find a new E-Cig supplier...

    You're right, that thinking strategy certainly doesn't apply to e-cigs. If it did, Smoking Everywhere [tm] would be the Ferrari of the e-cig world. Hey, they got a physical presence in malls, they've just GOT to be good, right? With only a handful of manufacturers, what's there is there...

    Cleaning atomizer

    And when you can't order any more? What then? Hey, I don't go nutso over mine either, but I'm not naive enough to think I'll be able to just order some more from my friendly USA supplier for the rest of my life, either.

    Not very new.....but very confused.

    Sounds just about spot on with my experience. (Ok, I get about 7 puffs.) With TW's 36mg coffee I find I can get a few more puffs, but not _that_ many more. A lot of it has to do with how long I let the thing sit between puffs. But I sure wouldn't go anywhere without the liquid, I know what...
