Small Things We Do While Vaping That Deserve No Explanation

I am supper pressed for time. I have just found out about a town meeting taking place at 5:00 tonight and the BOH is trying to ban flavored Ciggs amongst other things. So far they have lumped vaping in with ciggs in almost all town by-laws. I am going to go and try and see that vaping is separated from the tobacco regulations and that flavored E-juice is not banned along with it. What I would like specifically is some hard numbers on the effectiveness of vaping for tobacco cessation, numbers of ex smokers who are vaping Etc. I will check back in about a half hour and the meeting is in two and a half hours so give me some direct info (numbers,stats) that I can quickly digest and regurgitate.  

I agree thats its not fair we are being attacked from pretty much all sides.
But fact of the matter is we are.
So what are you doing about it?

Do you answer calls to action from Casaa, and or are you a member?

Do you wright rebuttals to editors of news channels and papers who spread antivape propaganda?

Do you donate money to Casaa?
Every little bit helps if 5$ a month is all you can afford thats awesome! Well its not awesome you only have 5$ free dollars a month but awesome you will donate 5$ when you are on a tight budget.

I deserve to be a vapor and I pledege to my fellow vapors to continue to answer calls of actions from Casaa, wright letters to those who print or pass on antivaping propaganda, and continue to donate funds to Casaa so they can continue to fight for us.

What are you going to do, to deserve to be a Vapor?

I hope all who read this will get involved and do something about the situation we are facing. No matter what you do grate or small at least do SOMETHING!

Also big big ATTA BOYS all around for all of those already involved and taking action.  

So I heard that the ban in New York will take effect even after the small delay. I'm wondering how I will be able to cope soon. Vaping for me does great things as it keeps me off cigarettes. But one major thing it also does for me is that it lowers my stress level and it relaxes me. Being that I have vaping I have no need to try other things that can be complicated. Someone once told me that my vape is like my pacifier because I always have it in my mouth and I turn to it whenever I am stressed and have anxiety. Truthfully it's terrible that I will be forced to use my pods because Juul couldn't keep their products out of corner stores and leave them for vape shops. When these kids have health issues they blame it on vaping when their parents ask them how it happened and they wanted a high out of school. Even though there is something called deep breathing and vaping isn't done that way I know it cools me off. Many times I was stressed and sweating because, I started to vape and it had it that I was finally able to feel the temperature of the air outside. People need to understand that going with this ban is All Or Nothing thinking, things one is told in therapy to avoid. Now that "it affected a minority" people take it away completely from those who are benefiting from it. Those who are banning - please use common sense - vaping is a lot safer than cigarettes and people are constantly dying from smoke. Vaping was the best thing that has possibly happened in a really long time. Tobbaco plants had a misconception that it was supposed to be smoked until technology introduced a safe method. If it was vaped from the beginning of time people would have lived much longer lives and more people would be born. Those who are cracking down please take this into account.  

this morning i made a run to the grocery store to pick up a few things.
i brought with me my kr808d1 x large with a kanger t3 clearomiser.
the dark blue of the battery contrasts well with the clearomizer with
black drip tip. looks exactly like i am holding a pen in my hand.
i preceded to find my things and generally browse the aisles for about
20 to 25 minutes discreetly vaping all the while.to my dismay no one
noticed. this left me a little confused.
what i need to know is if no one noticed me vaping did i really vape?
or,should i say i didn't do it,no one seen me do it,they can't prove a thing?

Hello everyone.

Now that I'm stuck at home I have been observing some things that I never realised before.

Where I am now it has been very cold (0°C and a bit lower sometimes) and my wicking is behaving differently.

When in normal daily routine/home, my atomisers are usually warmer when I give them first pulls of the day or pulls after some longer inactivity time. House or weather is warmer, because the setup was in my pocket or car, etc.

Now because the atomisers are reaching much lower temperatures, I have to be carefull on first pulls and avoid some chain vaping before they heat a bit (overall heating liquid included). If I forget and give some sequence pulls there's a big risk of dry hits.

I vape 70/30 or 80/20 vg/pg and it's very noticeable that the wicking speed changes a lot with temperature. I know the atomisers I'm using inside-out and know the wicking is perfect for my normal use. This is new to me.

Never realised how much liquid temperature influences wicking speed. This could explain a great number of people having problems with fast burned coils or fast burning cotton. Not only how you wick it matters but also we have to take into account environmental variables and vaping habits/timings.

Any thoughts on this?

Stay safe everyone.  

Hi friends. It's been awhile since I posted a thread and thought this might be a fun topic. I will go first. There are a couple things I really look foward to regarding my vaping. The first thing is when I get a new RBA. I can't wait to get in and build that new tank. I track the package and it's like Christmas when it arrives. The second thing is if I order a new juice! I usually make my own juice but I will also buy a couple each month. Oh I can't wait to break into that new bottle of juice!! Those are a few of my favorite things. How about you??  

Afternoon everyone or morning/night
Just a quick question Is black/brown spots in mucus and in snot normal 1 month later after not smoking? I get overly worried about these type of things just want to make sure its nothing out of the ordinary.

Hope everyone is having a good day!  

I just found out my 17 year old cousin started vaping a few months back and he was afraid to tell me, and his mother! To be honest, part of me is relieved!

a little background: I come from an entire family of smokers, aunts, uncles, cousins, all of us smoke with the exception of maybe 5 (out of 50+ people). Most of us starting at around the age of 13-15, it just seems like the thing to do in our clan I guess. Secretly I worry about my younger cousins picking up on our bad habits, just as I did. Seeing your entire family smoke and being around it all the time, its kind of hard to imagine NOT ending up a smoker yourself.


any who, when he told he was vaping, and that he things cigarette smoke is disgusting... I smiled inside soo much. there is hope for us yet!  

So this has just been one of those days that I want to go back to bed and get a re-do on. the bright part of the day was I got my brand new FUhattan clone and a new Omega dripper for it. loaded it up with a purple Efest and was really enjoying it. The wife has been harping on me for a few weeks to move the woodpile that was at the end of the driveway to the back of the shed where we store wood for the winter. No problem. I slipped my new mod in my back pocket and went out to work. about 2 hours later I was done with the small pieces and had a number of large pieces I needed to split. grabbed my 20lb Splitting maul and a wedge and took after the splitting. And thats when the Universe said "NOPE!"

As I was swinging the maul for all I was worth my foot slipped o a piece of wood underfoot. Swing went off and the maul glanced off the edge of the wedge. I managed to yank my leg outta the way but saw my new FUhattan on the ground... A split second before my Maul made contact.... Huge dent and hole in the side of it right near the middle. I heard a hissing and crackling and knew the battery was doing bad things. Kicked the mod into the center of the gravel driveway and watched as it lit on fire. Not as spectacular as I would have liked to see, but the mod and dripper are totally trashed.

And to top it off my neighbor was watching and said "Yea, those things are never safe. Only idiots use them." I asked him to get me any of his "Safe" battery powered devices and to let me smash it with batteries in it and we would see just how safe HIS things were. His wife threw a can of soda at him and told him to shut his mouth and get inside then asked me if I was ok. I told her just my pride was hurt...

So yea, this is just one of the things from today... Can I please have a do-over?  

Hi,
I apologize in advance if this is a question that has been discussed a lot, but the problem is that what I’ve read doesn’t seem to make sense: We know from experience that vaping PG/VG based juices are safe to vape, so I don’t wanna talk about that. However, when I read (in articles as well as here in the forum) that they have been vaping THC , I have to say that this kind of stuff has been consumed in vaporized form for quite a while now, probably since before people started vaping PG/VG. So it doesn’t make sense to me that all of sudden, vaping THC is killing people.
Do we have an explanation for these cases that actually makes sense?
