    Vape your Herbs!

    Ludicrously expensive, but it actually does save you money on herb. Keep using it as long as you can taste it - don't judge by the visible density of the vapor in the bag. Re-sift the herb in the grinder once in a while to keep it fluffy. The more surface area the more you extract. When...

    NJOY NPRO and Antidepressant medication

    I didn't notice that in the manual, either. I'm using an Njoy Npro with Wellbutrin and it's fine. Quitting smoking increases my risk of depression and makes it really, really hard to concentrate or get anything done. Thank goodness there's e-cigs. They provide the nicotine I need...

    E-cigs without propylene glycol?

    The Johnson Creek smoke juice sampler just arrived. It's non-PG medium strength. I just tried the arctic mint in a used, empty cartridge from my Njoy Npro. (The empties in the kit I ordered are penstyle, so they don't fit. Wow. The sponge thing in them is HUGE compared to the Npro. I'm...

    Snuss - dry pouches

    Swedish snus doesn't increase your risk of oral cancer. It is salt-cured and steam-pasteurized, which keeps the levels of tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs) low. Those are the chemicals which cause cancer. American dip is high in TSNAs - the processing is different. Dry snuff is...

    Snuss - dry pouches

    I use the smallest (3ml) icetool. It's 3/8" (9.5mm) internal diameter. The prismaster is an oval - 3/8" at narrowest and 5/8" (16mm) at widest. It's only $2 at getsnus period com, so you might as well just buy one of those to try sometime. It doesn't make as firm a pris - instead of a...

    Just received my NPRO today

    Mine was doing that, too. Keeping the batteries fully charged (and ignoring the stupid green LED) helped. So did taking a priming puff to warm up the atomizer before inhaling. Thank goodness for this forum or I would never have learned about those things! But I still get a droplet by the...

    E-cigs without propylene glycol?

    Thanks for letting me know. I figured the green light was a reliable indicator. I'm charging it now.

    E-cigs without propylene glycol?

    Actually, I had been off analogs for a week. (I had to quit before the Njoy arrived, I had such a bad cold. I just used snus) In contrast to not smoking, the PG was pretty gross. The only other time I tried an e-cig was at a Smoking Everywhere kiosk when I was still smoking analogs. Even...

    E-cigs without propylene glycol?

    They were freshly charged - charger turned green. I think the cartridge was overfilled at the factory - it's the only one I've ever opened, so I don't have a frame of reference. There were droplets on the plastic cap, and when I slid it on the atomizer, the metal thing it slides onto got wet.

    E-cigs without propylene glycol?

    I thought about that, but drugs.com says the nicotine inhaler doesn't deliver nicotine through the lungs: "Most of the nicotine in the product is, however, deposited in the mouth instead of the lungs." The delivery to the lungs is key. It's lung delivery that makes cigarettes and crack more...

    E-cigs without propylene glycol?

    Is there a way to use e-cigs without propylene glycol? I am so impressed with how cigarette-like the nicotine in the Njoy Npro felt -- it delivered a big spike of nicotine to my brain through my lungs, just like a cigarette!!! But it left my entire respiratory tract feeling like it had been...

    New here with NJOY

    I just got my Njoy Npro from Costco. It's going back. Thank goodness for their return policy. Leaks nicotine juice like crazy (quality control problem with the factory overfilling their cartridges?). The noise it makes when drawing air through it is strange, too. On the positive side, it...

    Snuss - dry pouches

    Since regular portions are already soaked in tobacco juice I suspect you get your nicotine quicker from them than from white portions. I figure that strong (stark) loose (los) snus gives me an even sharper, quicker spike of nicotine. I use Skruf Stark Los, packed with an icetool. First...

    Q for E-smokers in San Francisco

    I don't think you can find it in SF. Not at Wallas or Smoke Time at 24th and Mission. Not in Chinatown - I checked Grant, Stockton, and a few cross streets. Not at the tobacconist at Polk and California (they have real Swedish snus, so I figured if anyone would have it...) I'll just have...
