    Just wanted to say THANKS MK, for all your help and good counsel over the last couple years. My subscription to ECF is expiring, am not going to renew. Best wishes to you and all who made the e-cig transition so easy and FUN. Lots of hard work went into this, but am ready and need to move on...

    Have you seen your DR lately? Might be a very good idea.

    Wow, this thread is becoming very deeply touching on all fronts...ctourtelot, your story is very poignant to the feeling our family had when Heidi was so sick..my mother died from pulmonary embolisms 14 years ago, her presence was also felt in that hospital. I do believe in Guardian Angels...

    Have you seen your DR lately? Might be a very good idea.

    Just an update from my post #27, my neice is doing very well, lung function returning, there will be some function loss at the site of the clots, (and her therapy to prevent future clotting still underway) but her energy is coming back, sinus problems disapprearing, and after a little over five...

    Condensation in lungs?

    I know I have far fewer colds and my sinuses for the first time in my life perform normally, and it's alomost 2 years of vaping for me as well! This Winter Air in the house really is starting to annoy me though, time for some heat and humidity. PLEASE!! Excellent thread.

    Studies on the inhalation effects of vaporized PG

    Great Thread, TeeFour, this has all been discussed in ECF but continuous burying makes it so difficult to find back. SCfromSC those are great links.... it makes me very glad to see the digging still goes on!!! Perhaps make it sticky?!

    Question about filtering particulates from Ginger solution

    I came across your post on Google search for particulate filtration ~ good question. I've been interested in using tobacco absolute in the same kind of way, first 'cutting' the absolute with grain alcohol along with the Ethyl Maltol and caramel and hazelnut extracts added to plain vegetable...

    Bad teeth, cavities, and vaping.

    Exposed nerves makes teeth hurt from heat or cold. I never had a problem with vaping.

    Juice from actual tobacco leaves?

    If you Google it, there are some maybe un-wanted/unintended properties. NHaler did have some good herbals for vaper's, might be worth checking his lot. He has a good lung juice that a lot of people like. It's been awhile since I shopped!

    Juice from actual tobacco leaves?

    We should be careful with our herbal enhancers. I think discussing things like that in the context of vaping is verboten on this forum. Personally, I wouldn't want to spoil the rustica.

    Bad teeth, cavities, and vaping.

    Flouridation of drinking water, airborne flourides, and dental health is under some scrutiny since the 1970's, there is some question of it being responsible for breakdown of collagen. That is why we've been told not to swallow toothpaste, especially kids. However Flourides are present in...

    Bad teeth, cavities, and vaping.

    Fine, considerate, sensible advice, Phreaker....my cheeks hurt for the first two days after I got my e-cig, and by some co-incidence I was flooding the atomizer all the time. Gentle, long puffs solved both problems. ...............The longer the puff, the more heat, the best vapor. No need to...

    Juice from actual tobacco leaves?

    Just got an email from MVS, ref tobacco flavors: Not a tobacco leaf in sight. I do know the flavors are very "light", hope this was helpful. Picking the "right" flavor is so hard to do, that's why I went to DIY. I know what's in it, and how every component was processed. If there's trouble...

    Juice from actual tobacco leaves?

    I just checked, backwoodsbrew checkout is disabled, there is a note regarding ordering. I would check back in a couple days. I think it must be a matter of manpower and inventory...this is tedious stuff, patience please! I also want to put in a good word for myvaporstore, they have vg & pg, I...

    Have you seen your DR lately? Might be a very good idea.

    My 37 year-old neice was recently hospitalized with pulmonary embolisms, both lungs affected ~ lucky and blessed to be alive. Her case is kind of a result of a hundred things gone wrong, weight, bad circulation in her legs compounded by inflamation (cause unknown), some kind of auto-immune...

    Signs my body is healing...I think.

    Quitting smoking is a big deal....the gross part doesn't come into play until it's way past time to quit! I was pretty much just about non-functioning after 44 years of heavy duty smoking. I'm back! There really is life after smoking. Life is GOOD.

    Juice from actual tobacco leaves?

    want2vape.com is a very good place to start if you're looking for a jump-off place!!! Not sure of the genus/species of absolute they sell, but it is very inexpensive and the whole website is incredibly comprehensive and well done. VG and PG mixes as well.

    Juice from actual tobacco leaves?

    I DIY my liquid, four ingredients; VG, nic and plain, Nicotiana Rustica absolute (cut with grain alcohol and Ethyl Maltol to smooth out the bitters and raise the sweet grassy/woody undertones) a bit of pure caramel and hazelnut extract flavoring. I can say I care nothing about throat-hits: I...

    Hello from Snow Ridden Illinois!

    We drove through Bloomington a few years ago in a snow storm, those guys drive crazy down there! We got off the road and found a room, we were actually frightened. jj2, we've been promised a few -0` days. I'd take a 40` one. Did they ever find that Groundhog the other day, I never heard...
