    E-Cigarettes and Toxin Exposure | Annals of Internal Medicine | American College of Physicians Key conclusion is: "Long-term NRT-only and e-cigarette–only use, but not dual use of NRTs or e-cigarettes with combustible cigarettes, is associated with substantially reduced levels of measured...

    Does the lack of telephone numbers strike anyone else as Strange?

    My long defunct website business (15 years long gone) STILL gets phone calls, email, and snail mail from marketing people. Once your info goes into someone's database, it gets handed around, sold, and re-sold forever. It amazes me.

    First WTA experience: Aroma's Sahara

    I purchased it to see what it was like and to have my wife test it out, as she is having a rough time stopping the analogs. Anything I can do to help her stop smoking the analogs (she rejects the idea of using SNUS) is a win in my book. She already survived breast cancer. I have no wish for her...

    First WTA experience: Aroma's Sahara

    Wow. Color me impressed. I seriously wondered if the WTA would make that much of a difference, and I have to say the 'felt shift' is remarkable. Much more like what an analog gave me. The vaped flavor of this Sahara e-juice is wonderful. Rich and full bodied with subtle flavor notes that...

    Setup for vape-testing DIY eliquids?

    Looks like I could even have a bunch of wick material... pull the wick out, clean the coil, and slip in a new bit-o-wick to run another test... replacing the coil only when it is caked with un-cleanable gunk and affecting the test. Sound doable?

    A new Vaper looking for advice

    Greetings from the United States. :-) It really is about you. Your particular needs and such. No really about brand. That said, I recommend you buy originals, and not the unbranded knockoffs, initially. If you want a vivi nova tank, make sure it is a Visions brand. If you want a ProTank, buy a...

    experts, help. experienced vaporers, help.

    Educate yourself, my friend. You need to understand your options and what all of these new terms mean. That said, your question is not an easy one to answer. Many people start with a cigarette-like form factor but find themselves dissatisfied by the short battery life, vapor production, and low...

    question about steeping,,airflow,,surface area

    I think airflow light help some. My e-juice creations tend to steep and mature faster once I expose them to air. If i keep them sealed they mature very slowly, but once I open them after a week or two the process seems to accelerate suddenly. My only concern about leaving it open is dust and...

    I know, I know; Protank

    I use this technique to dry out a dampened smartphone (after removing the battery of course)... Should work for quickdrying tanks, atomizers, and cartos etc... at a department store (Walmart carries them, for example) or hardware store you can buy these small containers of water absorbing...

    The rules need to be changed....

    While I sympathize, I must also point out that the poldiac is purchasable on the web, new, for less than $200 usd plus shipping. $285 is pretty pricey, so I can understand their point of view. As you pointed out, it is available at B&M locations in Cali for significantly less that you had it...

    Vaping doesn't like me, my throat can't handle it, Please help

    Remember that your throat and lungs need tome to HEAL from the smoke you had been inhaling, too. Evidence also shows you don't really need to fully inhale (or inhale at all) to get the majority of the nicotine from vapor (it absorbs quickly through the membranes in your mouth). Just wallow it...

    I know, I know; Protank

    You using an original Kangertech Protank? Or the new 'knockoff'? Never had any issue with my Kangertech Protank. If anything, mine passes more air compared to other devices. I had to slow my draw a lot. Remember to clean your provari threads/airway area... if you have some oil there, that...

    Why do vapers expect to be treated differently than smokers?

    We are in the 'setting precedents' phase. If we allow the 'norm' to be lumping us out with the smokers, regardless of the facts, then that is the mindset that will prevail. Precedents become prejudices and once they calcify, they are hard to overcome. Be courteous, be friendly, and yet stand up...

    Done with Rebuildables unless there is some Help

    I'm going to preface this with a caveat: I have no direct experience as of yet with rebuildables, wrapping coils, etc. So, there you go. drkngl417 : I noticed that you are vaping at around 8 watts. And commented on 'great vapor'. If I may make a humble suggestion: Try vaping at a lower wattage...

    anyone here worried about the flavoring chemicals getting into your lungs?

    Consider for a moment the popularity of... Incense (many scents and varieties) Scented Candles/Oils/Waxes (just about as many scents as we have flavors and likely some of the same stuff going into them) Air Fresheners (Same as scented candles and some (many?) with the additives that deaden...
