Just updated my profile. Hello from, well...Oklahoma now! Lol. I just moved here a couple weeks ago. Fort Sill area. Jumped from Colorado Springs, CO - but, I'm actually from Northern California, born and raised. I only lived in Colorado for about six months. I guess you could say I've been bouncing around a lot this past year, lol.

Hey everyone! My name is Rachal and Im from El Paso Tx. I just started vaping about 2 weeks ago and love it. So I am doing a speech on it for one of my college classes. Ive been doing some reserch and havent had much luck on finding much that is sourced. Can anyone help me out? Send me some links to some sites that are credited/sourced? I would appriciate it so so much!
Does location matter? We are all virtually connected and virtually vaping...
Greetings! I just got my first e-cig (Greensmoke) last night. Been smoking about a pack a day, sometimes more, of Winston Lights solidly for 12 years. So far these e-cigs are a really pleasurable way to get off analogs! I love it!
When I get some more time, I will share with you all my initial impressions/thoughts using this amazing genius technology. I am a chemist, and very familiar with all the compounds involved with e-cigs, including some of the flavor compounds. I am also a nicotine addict that has tried every method under the sun to quit...some work for brief periods, but mostly to just tide me over while I cannot smoke (lozenges are the best for that). But smoking itself is the best...until now! Now I get a safe effective pleasurable technology, a toy, really, that is in many ways more pleasurable than analogs, and I can then later wean myself away from nicotine while keeping the pleasure. vaping ROCKS!! I got the Greensmoke usb passthrough along with the starter kit. This thing turns your computer into the best hookah on the planet!! It is, a least at this initial point, a miracle...and I haven't even started mixing my own flavors yet!
I decided, since my birthday is coming up, to see if I can be completely off tobacco burning by then, and I spent several days researching as much about e-cigs I could absorb, from types, brands, vendors, mixing e-juice, precautions, dangers, benefits. Then I decided to spend the amount I would be spending anyway for three months of smoking (those expensive months can fly by buying packs every day). So in addition to the Greensmoke I have a Joye 510 coming from e-smokytreats, plus flavorless 36 mg juice from Totally Wicked, and some flavors from Lorann. For a chemist this is my idea of serious fun!! Since all hardware is going to wear out anyway, save for the chargers, which are inexpensive, I decided to just have fun and get a couple of styles to play around with. After all, I would be spending the money anyway.
Now mind you, you do not have to go this route! But as a chemist, how could I resist?? So I essentially have a small lab coming over the next several days, and I couldn't be more pleased! If I end up not liking it, well, analogs will not cost me less, and with all the shotty e-cigs out there, I wanted to get reputable hardware of various types, and really see what this potentially life-changing technology is all about, and do it right up front...like a chemist!
Cheers!
Kurt
PS: Special thanks to the reviewers Terry from Perfectelectroniccigarette.com (helped me decide to choose Greensmoke for the first e-cig), Scott igetcha69 for all his reviews and wonderful smoke ring demonstration (smoke rings are a must!), Rustylug for his greensmoke reviews (also was big help), and ritalee76 for showing how easy it is to make DYI e-juice recipes. Lots of others too, but these were the big four for making me decide to take the plunge.

Hi guys,
As a newbie I just want to comment on the fact that I'm off the tar & crap for 2 weeks thanks to the 901 ecig.
I'm from Ireland and I have just discovered that Ryanair have introduced a policy of allowing ecigs to be vaped on their flights!
It's good to see that an Irish Airline is the first to introduce this type of policy when you consider that Ireland that was to the forefront in banning SMOKING.
Round one to ecigs?
Regards,
Will.

yeah its a TINY dot on the map.. if there even is one... my husband is in the Air Force and we're stationed at Cannon Air Force Base. we've been here for seven years! and being in the military thats an eternity! lol i posted something earlier.. didnt see this thread .. whoops! but im super psyched about e-smokes!
Supa psyched! This just keeps getting better! A round of applause for all us "noobs." "Hhhhaaaaa!"
Thanks, ambermartin, for your sacrifices and risks in service to our country, BTW. (So I'm a patriot? I come from a military family? A student of history? As if at my age and predicament I gotta choice? Ha!) Seven is a good number, for what it's worth.
I just saw this thread too. I hope my post survives! (At least for now. I hate "buyer's remorse....")
My official "E-Day" was the 10th of December 2009 on Florida Beach, just a mere few months ago. But the invasion began at a DOA lab when I was doing environmental QA. It was over a two year period from 1994 to 1996, days that will live in infamy, the days of the "Tobacco Settlement." I was one of two chemists who smoked analogs. We were forced to suffer "the indignities." I began researching nicotine inhaler techniques. As best I could find up to an editorial I wrote in late 2004, was the Nicotrol Inhaler - a major loser! I began seeing e-cig adds in the local "free" paper for local mall kisok outlets as early as 2006 or so, about the time I sampled one at a kiosk - wow! I was sold - just not on "them." FinalIy, I found that PVs are hugely cheaper online for home delivery. At last for Xmas 2009, I made the leap of faith thanks in part to PayPal.
I understand the present PV devices are basically a Chinese invention, and have been on the world market since 2003. ("Where have you been all my life?")
This is fascinating to me. Thanks to ECF, We the Vapers are testing "democracy" once again. I can't wait until the "experts" at last in one humble chorus say, "Oops. We misjudged. Lets do this again."
Meanwhile... back at the ranch (SJ)... Yeee ha! Brazzos!
I was just challenged on the metal composition in the "atty" atomizer. (Yes, the atty is a vaporizer. "Atomizer" sounds like plasma. I just reverse engineered one of my spent 103 attys. It has a porcelain crucible that is a heat radiator that contains what is perhaps a Ni-chrome coil wrapped around some kind of heat-resistant polymer fiber, and that assembly is surrounded with some kind of small mesh metal wool adsorbent wick connected to a tiny metal bridge of that material to poke into the cartridge reservoir, where the heated liquid saturated metal mesh takes the propylene/glycerin flavored nicotine solution from liquid solution to gaseous areosol.) What is that metal? Does it have traces of cadmium or lead that would be carried by the vapor? It's malleable and soft. Such metals are infamous for the presence of toxic metal(s). It should be okay if pure iron alloy of a nutrient metal.
For me it's worth the risk: To remain addicted to nicotine for all its beneficial reasons, so far I'm willing to accept the PV route won't overwhelm my immune system. PVs are clearly for me a health alternative to inhaling tobacco smoke to get my nicotine hits. Traces of tobacco-specific nitrosamines is not good, but can be eliminated. And the attys better not have traces of toxic metals! Nicotine inhibition of cell apoptosis is a risk I will take for now because I've already eliminated a major stimulus to the need for apoptosis in the first place: It's the tar, baby! ("Doh!") But gone are energy-robbing combustion oxides of carbon, never mind highly reactive free radicals, even radionuclide traces above background. PVs are a no-brainer, for the sake of our "race."
We're not out of the woods yet.
But truly, "Toto, I've a feeling we're not in Kansas any more."
This whole "thing" is fabulously interesting. The ramifications (I know! I said, "ram" as in "Ram it, baby!") go way beyond the tobacco debacle and "Truth." After health, President Obama said energy. ITER may soon show how to get the energy of 11,000 tons of coal from one single gram of heavy hydrogen, and Space Based Solar Power technologies are on the way despite the silence of the media and our elected officials. If the latter choose to continue to play "the game" the way they've played "the nicotine game," a sane future is gonna be a struggle. Time to get busy.
Oops, it was supposed to be "kiosk." Although, did I see Key Sock on Letterman?
"Eliminated" is not realistic if tobacco extracts continue to be a flavoring additive.
But as a chemist, how could I resist??
Cheers!
Kurt
Hey Kurt! Chemists unite! Nice post.
Cheers!
