The front page of today's New York Times has an article "E-cigarettes, by other names lure young and worry experts." The gist of the article is that studies may understate the use of e-cigs by teens because, well... let's let a user explain: It's an interesting notion. Personally, I think...

Residents protest proposed smoking ban in York Housing Authority homes - The York Daily Record The article, in today's York Daily Record newspaper, talks about banning smoking in public housing. Near the end of the article there's a rather bizarre question and answer about the scope of the...

February 8 was my 1 year anniversary of no cigarettes. I mostly quit about a month before that, but would smoke a pack a week or thereabouts, so I don't count that time. Some observations: 1. At least for me, I'll repeat what I said not long after I quit: e-cigs didn't make quitting easy...

Okay, I'm sitting here at home, chain vaping the way I always do. But I've found over the past month or so, I seldom vape outside the house. I work 10 hour days, plus an hour lunch, plus 3 breaks. I walk to work, and these days, I usually take my first vape of the day when I'm a block...

The situation: some people talk about attys lasting months, some talk about them lasting only "1-2" weeks. Me... I don't think I've ever gotten more than three good days out of any of them (and I've been at this since January). That doesn't mean they've popped completely (although many...

I started e-cigs about four months ago, and it's now three months since my last cigarette. This marks the longest time I've gone without a cigarette in the last 32 years. In a way, the one common denominator between the two three months quit has been an obsession. But there's a difference...

Yes, my counter shows that I've not lit up a cig in 12 weeks and I haven't given Big Tobacco over $800. But, what really hits home for me is the number of cigarettes I haven't smoked... I noticed today it's over 3,500. Granted, it's not an exact number, but it's close and probably just a bit...

I am not trying to convert my non-smoker friend to vaping. I'm trying to convert her to the idea that e-cigs may be the last, best hope to ending the whole cigarette crisis. I say, "Honestly, with my mods, vaping is better than cigarettes could ever be." Her attitude is, "If it works for...

I go through attys at an incredible rate, and I always thought it was because I chain vape (I chain smoked, so no big difference there.) After thinking about it and some doing careful watching of my habits, maybe the problem is more "binge" vaping than chain vaping. That is, I tend to hold my...

Yet another "news" article that says absolutely nothing new... but repeats everythng old, from WTAE.com, in Pittsburgh: E-Cigarettes Touted As Safer Smoking Alternative - Health News Story - WTAE Pittsburgh Well, after re-reading it, there is some news... according to the article, diethylene...

Long story, but I opened a new pack of 5 atties last Wednesday, and all five failed pretty much out of the box. So, I scrambled around and found an Ego-T atty I hadn't given away. That atty has now pretty much run out of steam (well, vapor)... and USPS tracking shows my new atties are still...

Absolutely no reason to post this, but I just watched an LA Dodgers game on mlb.tv... even though I'm from the East, I love watching Dodger's games when Vin Scully's announcing. The guy's 83 years old, works one of the largest media markets in the US, and works alone... no color commentators...

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this, but... there's a discussion on the Amazon Gold Box forum entitled: The worst part of quitting smoking... Many posters in the long thread have mentioned e-cigs, so I posted my own views. I was immediately met with this response: "E-cigs are...

I've just noticed two things in my sig... in a little over 7 weeks, I've avoided 2106 cigarettes and didn't spend $506.55. Naturally, I can't say I've actually saved that much money (actually, I'm still in the minus column.) But, in my typical way of looking at things, if I'd have continued...

I've been vaping since January, and smoke-free for 7 weeks. A week or go, I started feeling really bad and this week, I went to the doctor. It turned out I was having an "urgent hypertensive crisis," which meant that my blood pressure and pulse were way higher than both normal and my baseline...

After thinking about this for awhile, I've come to the conclusion that one of the biggest reasons I've been able to quit cigarettes is the ability to "change the vape" to suit whatever mood I'm in. I've had to buy a couple of e-cig models and mods plus a lot of juices, and it took some...

I've seen a lot of pictures of various REO grands, but none of them quite prepared me for just how solidly-built it is. It's not only a great vape, it seems like it could stop a bullet. Very impressive construction. So far, I've not been able to shoot a picture that really shows just how...

There's about 250 employees in our office... since the first e-cig appeared in late December, 14 of us (that I know about) have bought one. If 25% of the adult population smokes, statistically, we have about 60 smokers. 14 of 60 is a bit over 20%... in two and a half months. The number may be...

Okay, vaping is more fun than smoking. That's important. Still, I think vaping could be better than my Ego, so I've been in search of mods. I liked my original, so I bought the Ego-T. The tank system is good, at least sometimes, but it seemed to me that a bottom-feeder vv mod would be even...

I've been using e-cigs for a month an a half. Several of my friends have been using e-cigs a few weeks longer than I have. They've been using Joye 510s or Egos, and so far, they're not interested in anything else. Most are using the same liquid they started with. They're kind of shocked that...
