    Did anyone catch the piece on e-cigs on fox news just now?

    I saw the story and was surprised. I do not watch mainstream media because they thrive on this type of nonsense. However there is a nationwide effort to demonize vaping and I have to wonder if it is led by the control freaks or the makers of things like the patch or maybe even the cigarette...

    Rating batteries

    Ok, as usual I hate to sound like a real dummy but what do I need to get to determine the output, ratings ohms volts watts or zap units for a battery? I see a lot of reference to the output of chargers and batteries but since I am not an electrician by trade and since I never had to worry...

    Exploding eGo theory - Please comment

    Exploding eGo-T battery

    Oh great, now I get to worry about something else. ha. I leave my laptop plugged in all the time unless for some reason I have to move it. Cannot imagine having to take the battery out every time I am not using it? Not as easy as unhooking a battery for a e-cig ha

    Exploding eGo-T battery

    I found this while searching for info on overheating batteries. Lately when I charge my regular ego batteries they get real hot even before the green light comes on. I thought I had a bad charger so got out a new one and same problem. This does not happen all the time but a couple of the...

    It's ALL ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE with Wordup!

    I did not know there were any companies that gave as good of service as Word-Up until I had this one recommended to me after a bad first try with the electric cigarette. Got ripped off so bad I did not even try again for over a year. Jeff has contacted me about things and Lisa on e mail has...

    First analogs, next the e cig?

    This article although about analogs gives some insight into the thinking behind the war on smoking, a war which drove a lot of people to the e cig, (I am glad of that) but this will be the same war and tactics used against the e cig as soon as they can get it organized. War on Tobacco's More...
