It's hard to see what people mean when they make judgements like that. True, a nicotine vaper hasn't kicked all the aspects of the tobacco-smoking habit, but the science shows they've cut their health risks down dramatically. If it's secondary vapour that's the concern, the risks are even less...

I guess that shows how different things work for different people. In my case I crave nicotine more as the day goes on, so it's easier for me to delay my first draw as late as possible, keep it as light as I can when I do start, and then allow myself to pig out more in the evening. If I...

Thanks. It's useful to realise that it's not that urgent for me to reduce my nicotine intake quickly. I haven't smoked tobacco for a long time, and don't miss it now I'm vaping. So now the only remaining goal is to get my nicotine (and PG & VG) intake down to as near to zero as I can. You're...

That's the part that I've still not had much success with. Currently I'm vaping strong nicotine infrequently instead of the previous weak nicotine frequently, so I'm getting about the same nicotine dose per day without inhaling so much VG and PG, but I'm still sorely missing the habit of...

Interesting. Not long ago I tried adding extra water to my mix (in an attempt to reduce the VG and PG content) and it spat hot steam out of the mouthpiece when I drew on it. I subsequently read that it's a known hazard with high water content, though it would depend on the device. Seems...

Nicotine might raise the blood pressure (but it might not - test yourself if you're not sure) Nicotine seems to have a few other possible adverse effects on human health, though nothing really alarming AFAIK. There's little known about the long term effects of vaping VG and PG, though again...

If it were due to vaping, why would it not have troubled you before now?

A lot of sources categorically say that nicotine raises blood pressure, but there is some doubt. Some studies suggest it doesn't. I also tested my own blood pressure using 2 good meters before and after vaping deliberately large doses of nicotine, and found no significant change. Nonetheless...

No, I started vaping around 2009 but gave up when the primitive e-cigs I was using stopped working. I limped along with gum (and tobacco relapses) for a few years until the supply of 4mg unflavoured gum dried up in the UK where I usually live (don't like mint, fruit flavoured or those...

Well, 1. I held the entire 12 seconds' worth of vapour in my lungs for a while, to get most of the nicotine into my blood, and by the time I exhaled there was little or no visible vapour left. It's a large, well-ventilated room. Nobody could see or smell anything. As a rough estimate I would...

I agree with the view that it's the exploding market syndrome that's responsible for too much choice and not enough reliable, boring products. It's much the same with most commodities and it's getting worse. I had to try 3 vaping shops just to get bottle of unflavoured nicotine. First...

Upping the nicotine concentration to 32mg/ml has definitely made it easier for me to take shorter and less frequent puffs, as expected. I rather like the increased throat hit and the (presumed) higher spike of nicotine. More like a real cigarette. I miss the "fidget value" of using the device...

Thanks. The link confirms my experience that the airport bulldogs are pretty inconsistent in their performance, sometimes letting stuff through that's against the rules, other times confiscating stuff wrongly. I'll probably take a small bottle back with me just to see what happens, but that...

If I get the UK place to supply me, it'll be £25 for the product (250ml) and £5 for the shipping. Being also inland, that shouldn't raise any eyebrows. If a friend happened to ship me a gift from the USA, I gather there's no import duty or VAT due on items worth less than £34. Sadly it seems...

That's another possibility if all else fails. I gather the words "bottles" and "essential oil" have also been used successfully.

I'm still slightly excited by some aspects of vaping, though the real reason I do it is the original purpose of the invention - you know, getting a decent nicotine hit to satisfy the addiction without the worry of getting lung cancer or other nasties from tobacco, and its wonderful spinoff...

I didn't bring much with me, just stayed with friends so I didn't need a lot. Easier to travel light and I don't trust the airline with stuff in the hold. Thanks. I guess I could re-post my question there if the solutions I've been given here don't work out, but I don't hold out much hope of...

If you mean the luggage that goes in the hold, I don't have any, I'll be travelling with carry-on luggage only, and my experiences with breaking the rules for that are mixed. Once they didn't notice I'd failed to remove my liquids bag, another time they noticed I'd failed to open my laptop for...

Yes I noticed they've got a good range of gear :-) I always suspected the suppliers were generally overpricing (even Amazon), but if these guys can sell the basics so cheap, that pretty much proves it.

Yes. That would explain what's been happening. That's exactly what I did. The reduction was an attempt to wean myself off nicotine, but I found myself compensating by pulling more.:( I'd figured that the "fidget value" would be reduced if I simply pulled less often to reduce the dose, but it...
