    Prof Peter Hajek at the Global Nicotine Conference

    I often get depressed reading the steaming pile of [CENSORED] the media, and certain individuals who continue to term themselves scientists (contrary to all evidence) are shoving in everyone's faces about e-cigarettes. So here's a happy thread for a change. Prof Peter Hajek's oration at the...

    EU How to vote - how they voted

    Hi In the UK we're soon going to be voting for a new batch of MEPs. (Don't know about the rest of Europe). I've been in contact with my (Scotland) MEPs on the TPD issue, and have just looked back through how they responded. How they actually voted on February 26th - particularly with regard...

    EU Social norms for vaping?

    Hi all I got thinking a lot while commenting on the UK Guardian story about the latest idiotic pronouncement about vaping - in this case, a proposal for a ban in public places in Wales. Guardian story is Electronic cigarettes may face public ban in Wales | UK news | The Guardian; there's also...

    "Cigarettes May Have Fewer Carcinogens and Chemicals than Electronic Cigarettes "

    Mike Siegel has caught another one: http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.co.uk/2013/10/tobacco-control-practitioner-tells.html#disqus_thread Links to a Las Vegas Sun article. Any Nevadans out there can contact the paper? I sadly agree with Siegel when he says: Over here in the UK it may not be...

    Does a dual-coil tank wear out the battery?

    Hi I'm using the Innokin IClear30 tank - have two of them, so that I can take one apart for cleaning while using the other. I'm finding it harder and harder to consistently get a good hit out of these tanks. I've tried using both the 2 ohm and 1.5 ohm atomisers, but the problem seems to...

    UK Independent: "E-cigarettes simply reinforce a terrible habit"

    http://www.independent.co.uk/voices/comment/ecigarettes-simply-reinforce-a-terrible-habit-8867160.html#tabs-1-3 A terribly misinformed piece by someone still glowing with the virtue of having given up smoking by NRT. She obviously hasn't put in the slightest effort to research the piece: Er...

    Power cutoff on Innokin batteries

    Hi I'm seeing something odd happen with the Innokin batteries I use. The newer ones are the Leo Pro batteries; but I also use the old Lea batteries I have left over. I'm using them with the Lea 800 atty at the moment, while waiting for new atty heads for my IClear30. I see this problem with...

    iClear30 - lost flavour and vapour

    Hi I got my first clearo - the Innokin iClear30 - about 3 weeks ago. Blown away by the clouds of vapour and the intense flavour. It sucked the electricity out of my batteries at a huge rate, but it's worth it. (I'm only using a 3.7v Innokin Leo Pro battery - can't afford a VV thing yet)...

    Brown liquid blown out of atomizer - Innokin Lea

    Hi I'm using Innokin Lea 800 atomizers (picture here: Cartomisers and Atomisers - LEA 800 Atomisers - LEA 800 Atomizer Silver - 2 Pack). They always work great new from the pack. I'm using them with an Innokin Leo Pro battery. Within a few weeks, though, this happens: - Taste disappears. I...

    Posting letters to/from representatives on a forum?

    Hi I've written several emails to my MEPs (Members of European Parliament) about the proposed EU TPD amendment. One of them has mass-replied about the issue to a whole lot of people who've contacted him about this. The result is that I'm seeing a lot of emails from those other people to the...

    Innokin Leo Pro

    Hi everyone I think I'm not the first to wonder - since the history of the Leo name seems to be long and complicated. Anyway, I've switched over to using just the batteries for the Innokin Leo Pro. This is because my usual supplier, Vapour Room (UK - not to be confused with the US Vapor...

    Doing something wrong with my atomizers

    Hi all Happy vaper here. But doing something wrong on atomizer maintenance. I've had 3 atomizers die on me; and I think it's the way I'm cleaning them that is causing this. This is what I do: 1) Soak them in hot (not boiling) water with a bit of lemon juice, for an hour or so; 2) Blow out...

    Recommend some tobacco flavours?

    Hi everyone Well I am one happy vaper. My first purchased e-cig works beautifully for me (I was lucky to be able to try out a friend's one beforehand); I love the juices I've tried so far; I've found a great community of people here, and haven't even gone near wanting an analog for 2 weeks...

    Is this atty dead?

    Hi 8 days in, and I think I've come across my first "dead-atomiser event". Stopped working. No vapour. No slight gurgle that I can always hear (in quiet ambient conditions) before I inhale. Just before this happened the Lea battery flashed its light and cut out. I believe this means...

    Resize pictures?

    Hi Just started a thread in the Accessories forum. Weird thing is that you can't resize uploaded images. (There are other weird problems as well) To be clear, this is what I'm doing (according to the instructions in the sticky in the How-Tos) - Manage Attachments;add files from my PC - Drag...

    Made a tank-case out of a plank

    Hi all I'm definitely bitten by this vaping business! Loving the flavour I'm getting from my first PV. One problem though: how do I carry all those little tanks around with me? I'm still at the stage of trying out various flavours in 10ml sizes, and haven't settled on a favourite juice...

    Accidental absorption through skin - a concern?

    Hi I read somewhere that spilling e-liquid on your skin is a really bad idea. The concentrations I'm dealing with (or probably, anyone vaping is dealing with) are probably not too dangerous - all my liquids, for example, are 12mg nicotine. But I was wondering how much of a concern...

    Cold outside?

    Quickie question. I know there are a lot of people here on the forum from continental N America. So I'm not going to go on about how cold it is in Scotland at the moment, when I could get a pop-up quick reply from Wisconsin saying "-5C, what, are you sunbathing on the beach? :tongue:" Vaping...

    Lo-tech attie cleaning? What about tanks?

    Hi all Hope you're all happy. I am. Vaping on a nice Red Apple juice from Alba Vapours here in Scotland. I've read a lot about cleaning atomizers; as a total newbie, it's coming up to 1 week of use, and I'd like to keep these things working well (while knowing they won't last forever). I'm...
