    Ways around the bans.

    I've vaped for 7 years and I've always compiled e-liquid my own using concentrates. It is mostly a response to the laws in my country, but it's also very inexpensive to do this. I'll admit there are some risks from mixing your own. You need to store concentrated nic somewhere (typically the...

    Milestones ... post em if you've reached them

    My last milestone was discovering a non-leak, non-gunking vape. I have 4 years of trying different vape brands, and 2 on the current one.

    Seriously bummed..

    Yes, I think Farsalinos talked about this. But even still, the debate is being framed about "ecigs", not high temp vapers. It's kind of like saying "toast is a health risk because people burn it Also I think tobacco cigarettes have glycol in them, so that's being burnt at high temperatures...

    Seriously bummed..

    I really think you have to break it down to the components of eliquid to ask "where's the fire exactly": Glycol and glycerine: if that's the problem why are they in foods and medicines Food flavourings: as above, and in tobacco Nicotine: also in pharmaceuticals, including inhaled sprays, no...

    Stanton Glantz sued for sexual harassment

    If he really did say to his students that a tenured professor could get away with raping the vice chancellor's daughter, and that is confirmed by witnesses, I have no sympathy. That he should even come up with such an analogy is really disturbing.

    I finally quit smoking April 2012, though I'd been trying on and off for 5 years. I've been vaping since. I use mostly tobacco flavours.

    Nicotine reduction

    I'm interested in this question, but I think the nic level needs to be compared with how many puffs you're taking and how long you're holding it for to get the max absorption. Just dropping nic is meaningless if you're just getting better at absorbing it. Unfortunately it's hard to measure...

    How To Approach A Smoker: The Proper Way

    I tell smokers I think they're heroes, for paying for everyone else's schools, roads and hospitals. I just don't want to be another nagging voice in their ear, but I think it's ok to state an obvious truth that tobacco control denies. If everyone stopped smoking overnight, it would be a...

    House passes bill to require child-proof nicotine packaging

    More people get poisoned by toothpaste than vaping liquid. It's all been about demonizing nicotine as just sooo lethal.

    Would you date a smoker now that you vape?

    I don't mind being around people smoking as long as it doesn't smell to much. I'd never want to become like those anti smoking Nazis.

    Do you take your ecig everywhere you go?

    There's logic in taking the vape to the bathroom. Nicotine gets you going. Dr Karl did a story on it once on triple j

    What's your sneaky device?

    Eroll is ideal, but any pen type, such as a V2 works, as long as you hold it like you would chew a pen. The trick is to mouth inhale into the mouth, nose inhale if you need a breath, then finally mouth inhale to swallow and wait a second. When you exhale all the vapor should be gone. Just...

    For experienced users of high nicotine levels only PLEASE!!! 36mg/ml is not enough for me!!!

    I can't see why chain vaping 24mg is acceptable where moderately vaping 48mg wouldn't be. Even a light beer will still give you a hangover if you drink enough of it. I vape 40mg on my cigalike because I use it at work, need to be discreet and need to be quick. I assume Dr farsolinos is right...

    What do you consider "chain vaping"

    I was getting nic brain freeze, so I went down to 6mg for a few weeks and found I was constantly vaping, walking down the street, sitting at my pc. I just felt I wasn't getting enough nic. I don't feel comfortable with it, it's a bit too compulsive, and I always feel a bit tense. I'm going...

    Do you still smoke and Vape?

    I bought a herbal vaporizer (MFLB) and a pouch of tobacco because personally I needed something else that was in the tobacco, but still wanted to quit combustion completely. I use it once a week, and it's helped me quit smoking completely. Coming to 1 month exactly now, I'm a very happy...

    Vaporizing Snus (Tropical Bob)

    I've been vaping for 2 weeks now and have hit a bit of an impasse where I feel I'm not getting something I used to get from tobacco. Snus is illlegal in my country, so i don't really have the option of using it, for vaping or for its intended use. However, I was interested in his "little...

    Vaping in public - where should people draw the line?

    Have you ever had anyone, like a stranger, comment on the smell?

    Vaping in public - where should people draw the line?

    LOL. I've become a bit of a stealth vaper myself. People generally only see what they expect to see. There's no smoke without fire... so to speak. I have had odd looks with one of the less cigarrette-like rigs though. Some people think they're some sort of wicked device. I made a note to...

    What can I mix with nic juice?

    I've noticed plain nic juice is naturally bitter. I prefer pre-mixed juice as they seem to know just the right mix to mask the bitterness. You can try mixing it with sweet juices to mask the flavour, mandarin, berry, apple all seem to work well with me. Juicewhore does seem to have a lot of...

    Vaping in public - where should people draw the line?

    I'm interested in the circumstances people are comfortable vaping? Would you vape under any of these circumstances, and if so, what's your reasoning? a smoker's corner outside an office block near the doorway in front of the office block, which has a no smoking sign on a public bus...
