    Travel and Vaping Cruise Forum thread about e-cigs

    I posted a reply to a brief message at a cruise review forum started by someone who saw e-cigs for the first time on her trip. This was a couple of months ago (before the FDA announcement). The thread stayed pretty quiet for a while. Now it has the inevitable 'shouldn't be sold without FDA...

    901 auto passthrough

    One of my passthroughs is losing power. It's had a lot of use, as I leave it in my office and have used it at work for around the last 2-1/2 months. So, my question is what are your experiences with passthrough lifespan? Update: After 2 days of misbehaving it's suddenly working again. Haha...

    coming soon...

    Butterscotch, and I had a chance to sample it (thank you Jaaxx!). I don't do detailed reviews, but here's what I think... It's typical of what I love about Juicy Liquid flavors - vapes beautifully, and has no artificial candy sweetness. For the butterscotch lovers who've been waiting for it...

    Response from the FDA

    Standard party line crap; makes me so mad. Dear Ms. XXXXX, Thank you for making your opinions known to the Agency. We appreciate your thoughts and experiences regarding electronic cigarette, cigar, and pipe products. At this time, we are not aware of any data establishing electronic...

    So now that the new law is signed...

    ... Altria's first move is to announce their brand new "richer, bolder" Marlboro menthol. Yes, a great piece of legislation. Since 1998 cigarette sales have declined 2% a year. The Congressional Budget Office is anticipating a 2% decline in adult smoking over the next 10 years as a result of...

    Nicotine and low blood pressure

    When I smoked (3 packs a day) my blood pressure and heart rate fluctuated from lowish normal to borderline high. depending on how much I was smoking. Knowing that nicotine raises BP and HR, I accepted it as my normal. I was curious to see the change after vaping for a while, and have been a...

    Praline & Cream and atomizers

    I've only had two attys die. I know its inevitable, but both went with Lorann's praline & cream in the carts. I used 20% in a 50/50 PG/VG mix, which is essentially the same proportions I use for other flavors. But it makes the darkest liquid of all my recipes, and looks thicker in the bottle...

    Travel and Vaping American Airlines

    I wrote to American Airlines requesting an explanation of their ban on using e-cigs during flights. Here is their response: "Thank you for your comments about electronic cigarettes. While we do permit passengers to carry electronic cigarettes aboard, their activation is prohibited...

    Amazing service!

    I could hardly believe it when I got the shipping notice, complete with tracking number within a half hour of placing my order. On the downside, I agree with Winterbourne and hesitated when I saw payment had to go through Paypal. He's right about them. I linked a card to make the transaction...

    My letter

    I look at it and know its longer than it should be, but when I try to edit it, it just gets longer, so I give up. Gentlemen: This letter is regarding e-cigarettes, a.k.a. personal vaporizers. I’m a 54 year old who has chain smoked for nearly 40 years and desperately wants a chance...

    Juice questions

    I sometimes feel lightheaded. Starting a few days into the change, my nose runs. At this point I'm not sure whether its too much nic (I doubt it since I stick to 11mg or less), too little (fine with me as I want to get used to less and hopefully none ultimately), a PG issue, or (most likely?)...

    FDA vs more rational minds

    I'm not allowed to post links yet, but here's a comment by Dr. Michael Siegel, an anti-smoking activist who is in favor of e-cigs. "This is about as idiotic and irrational an approach as I have ever seen in my 22 years in tobacco control and public health... A public policy maker who touts...

    I love this!

    This experience is amazing me. I eyeballed e-cigs from the first time I saw an article in the Smokers' Rights newsletter, and finally dove in a couple of weeks ago. With a basement filled with boxes of Nicotrol, gum and patches that did nothing for me, I wasn't sure what to expect. When my...

    I'm excited!

    This morning I ordered my first e-cig - 901 kit from esmokeytreats. Along with it I ordered some Chocolate and Strawberry juice to get started. After reading some posts about the effects of high nicotine levels, I decided go with low nic and 0 nic. I smoke ultralights, but smoke way too much...
