    Next FDA TPSAC meeting on November 2 and 3 to continue discussing dissolvable tobacco products

    Here's an interesting video showing several of the products. Dissolvable tobacco: Camel vs. Stonewall - YouTube I only have firsthand experience with the Stonewalls (via mail-order), and of course the Commit lozenges. It may be a sad statement, but the child-proofing on the tobacco products...

    BT draws suit against FDA for warning images on cigarette packages

    Big tobacco eventually did make MUCH safer cigarettes, by vaporizing the tobacco instead of burning it. The FDA wouldn't allow them to point out the VAST improvement in safety. Big Pharma used their puppet organizations to insist that they in fact were NOT safer (pure lies). I almost...

    Want protection? Get Sandboxed ! Make yourself Bulletproof !

    I use the paid version of Malwarebytes ($25 for lifetime registration) and Firefox with the NoScript addon. It makes browsing a little bit annoying sometimes, but it has proven to be quite a formidable and cheap setup. Sandboxie sounds interesting though, will have to check that out.

    Interesting Look at Smoking Related Deaths

    That's actually hugely interesting. You might consider double-checking the numbers, and maybe padding it out with some extra explanations and a little more humor and posting it on CNN I-Reports or something. After all, this is supposed to be the 'information age', but usually it seems more...

    Book recommendation, please!?

    The wheel of Time Series. Great story. Gets a bit drawn out after book five (The Fires of Heaven) but it draws you in and is very long. --The audio books for this series are very well narrated, so keep that in mind as an option. A Story of Ice and Fire. A game of thrones, A clash of Kings...

    Humectants and dessication, where does the water come from?

    When you draw on the e-cig, air and pg are pulled past the heating element. The sudden heating causes the the pg to flash, or rapidly expand. The moisture in the air being drawn through with the pg instantly clings to it, making it both visible and cooler. That's my understanding of it anyway:-)

    Looking for a BIGGER hit

    I'm using an Inferno (t) and so far the only juice that truly kicks like a smoke is the boo berry menthol (80/20) from gourmetvapor.com. I'm not trying to push that vendor, but I've tried 9 juices from 3 different vendors and that one stands well above the rest for satisfaction and overall...

    Former E-Cig user needs reccomendations

    I can't help with comparisons, but I got the Inferno tank kit + an extra tankomizer earlier this week and am really happy with the new technology. I guess my only real point is, whatever you get, make sure it's a tank:-)

    Noob Bloog Review BETA 0.1

    No, that was in reference to the LT-v9 I got in April last year. Speaking of the NEW one I just got from china, one of the batts is flaky. When I press the button, it wavers on and off. I can't really recommend the LT-v12 because of that, though I still like the over-sized cartomizers.

    Noob Bloog Review BETA 0.1

    Holy cow that's excellent news. When I started I stuck it out for five days with an Njoy Npro before reinforcements arrived, in the form of a Loongtotem (Same as a Bloog Fusion I beleive) and after that it was pretty much game over for the ciggies. I hope you're buying juices to refill those...

    Received my kit and juices - Question

    My take on VG is that every time cakes and brownies are baking in the oven, we're all enjoying some VG vape without even realizing it. The same can be said about artificial flavorings. Make sure to drink lots of fluids, and if you can find some satisfaction in those little bottles of juice...

    A look at the Loongtotem v-12

    Sure, I'm not going to miss just a couple of them. You can pm me where to send them, or if you want them now, i'll meet you halfway somewhere, Canton isn't that much of a drive.

    A look at the Loongtotem v-12

    The old first-gen loongtotem cartos work on the new batteries just fine. My old V-9 loongtotem battery is long dead so I can't test to see if the new cartos work on it (the thread depth is off a bit, so the contacts hit before it's all the way screwed on). If memory serves, the main issue with...

    A look at the Loongtotem v-12

    Yes I got it from Loongtotem.net. I got the 2 battery kit for $32.50, 20 empty cartomizers for $20.00, and shipping via EMS was a whopping $37.00 In retrospect, maybe there was another shipping method available...My browser was having some trouble with the site and I didn't realize how bad...

    A look at the Loongtotem v-12

    I recently saw that there was a new Loongtotem available, so I went to great expense to get one sent over from Hong Kong to take a closer look. There are four main selling features of this e-cig. 1. Simple two peice cartomizer design. 2. High capacity battery. (600mAH) 3. High capacity...

    Hitting an ecig like your smoking a pipe?

    Pretty much exactly what I do, then half the time I'll inhale, the other half I'll just send it out the nose. The flavor is better when going out the nose instead of inhaling, plus you still get decent nicotine intake via the membranes up there:-)

    Did you think it wouldn't work?

    I had high hopes, which is why I shelled out all the money for an Njoy kit. At first I was a bit disappointed because it wasn't exactly like smoking. Three hours later I still hadn't lit a cigarette though, and that's when I saw the shocking potential.

    What method(s) worked for you?

    I used the mentality of, "I'm not quitting anything, I'm switching to this". Historically I had switched cigarette brands many times, and it always took about a week to get full satisfaction out of the new brand. As mentioned above, whenever you get a craving to light up, you break out your...
