    3/23/09 | Senator seeks to halt sales of 'e-cigarettes'

    These illogical lines of reasoning commonly found in Congress is exactly why simply signing petitions and sending letters will not be enough. If Laudenberg has agenda he will appeal to the fears and emotions of other Representatives and citizens. Responding by appealing to reason is pretty...

    Be Careful With the Terms Like E-Smoking

    Obviously, we all know what we mean when we say e-smoking on the forums. What I'm talking about is using the term to someone that doesn't know what an e-cigarette is ESPECIALLY if they are from the media or a Congressman you are contacting. We need to distance ourselves as much as possible...

    Related question: Has the FDA officially starting regulating tobacco yet? Does anyone know if they have the power to ban e-liquid outright? (wondering because its not a drug but nicotine +PG or other which are allowed by FDA) If no, then good news. We got more time on our side.

    3/23/09 | Senator seeks to halt sales of 'e-cigarettes'

    If we took negativity too far then yes we run that risk. Obviously, we can't go OMG Lautenberg is being paid by pharmaceutical companies, he's part of a giant corporate conspiracy against e-cigarettes. We'd never be taken seriously. What we can do is make a point to question the Senator's...

    3/23/09 | Senator seeks to halt sales of 'e-cigarettes'

    I don't agree with him that its not a safer alternative. How much evidence will be needed to prove this? How do you compare two completely unrelated health problems from two separate sources and say which one is worse? The act of not smoking tobacco ergo no health affects associated with smoke...

    3/23/09 | Senator seeks to halt sales of 'e-cigarettes'

    Could someone do some research to see who his top campaign contributors are? I'm wondering if he's getting money from big tobacco or big pharma. I got 3 exams tomorrow, but if I got time later I'll check. If he's getting money from them then we should coordinate an assault on his credibility.

    Analog vs E-cig "feeling"

    The first day I started vaping, I vaped like crazy and felt very mellow. Propylene Glycol in high enough doses will have similar effects to alcohol. This may have been why. "Propylene glycol causes CNS depression similar to that caused by ethanol but it is only one-third as potent." "Acute...

    Implications of PG on Blood Brain Barrier Permeability Study

    I just found this study. Don't know quite what to make of it, and I thought I'd get your thoughts. If PG is reducing BBB permeability here, could it also reduce the effectiveness of psychiatric drugs that must cross the BBB to work? Wiley InterScience :: Session Cookies Quantitative...

    Simple Atomizer Wick Question

    I'm thinking of making a DIY atomizer, but I'm not clear as to why a wick is necessary if the heating element is providing enough heat. Could someone clarify this for me? Thanks advance.

    time for americans to unite??

    I was thinking about that as well. If marijuana paraphernalia sellers can get away with selling them as tobacco pipes(most of time til Fed Raid), why not relabel e-cigarettes as flavor vapers or something of that effect? Probably won't happen now, but if e-cigs are banned then I could see this...

    Propylene Glycol and Causing Lowered Blood PH?

    The wiki on prylene glycol states that "Like ethylene glycol, propylene glycol affects the body's chemistry by increasing the amount of acid. Propylene glycol is metabolized into pyruvic acid, which is a normal metabolite in the breakdown of glucose, while ethylene glycol is metabolized into...

    Idea for Cleaning Atomizers: NON TOXIC Air Duster

    I think I just took the air blowing technique to a whole nother level. If you are going to try this method make sure the compressed air can/duster is NON TOXIC. I don't know what the effects of using other dusters, and neither should you. I assume non-toxic air will not have any health...
