    And it should have all the power of a VTR with the battery lasting as long as a 3400 18650. Oh. And it should only cost around $20...

  7. I was a huge Dawn of the Dead fan ever since I was a kid. The Walking Dead graphic novels caught my eye when they started. When the show came on, I tuned in on premier night and was genuinely terrified. Been hooked ever since. I am totally looking forward to the mid season finale tomorrow!

    Went with the Stainless Steel at Coast2Coast at $74.99 plus priority shipping. Missed getting it for $69.99 - the sale price they had yesterday. *sighs*

    I went with the VTR... just waiting for it to arrive. Tam, now is the time. I got mine from west coast vapers for $81 with tax (I'm in PA) and priority shipping. They're out of the green though so I'm stuck with the stainless.

  11. I was living in Louisiana the first time I took a shot at e-cigs (read my about me post to see why I quit them the first time) and it was the middle of summer. For those of you who haven't had the displeasure of going outside in the summer in a close to the gulft city, its just instant sweat. Its hot and sticky and there is no escaping it unless you are inside with A/C. My old shop foreman told me that it was ok to vape in the shop and that pretty much ended my days of smoking outside. Everyone would come in and have to spend a half hour cooling down before they could start working on their cars again. Needless to say when my productivity (and paychecks) went through the roof my service manager offered to buy anyone who smoked an e-cig kit. I saw cool relief, he saw more dollar signs. Last time I was there picking up tools I noticed a lot of vaping going on in the shop.

  15. Yes. These were my herbals of choice. http://www.clovesmokes.com/EcstacyOrig.htm Did they work? Not really, more of a ******* tease! Are they safe? Nope, still tarry, was wasting my time and money. The red and white tastes OK, like cigarettes, a bit. Green and white was actually pleasant. Green pack tasted like I licked somebody's front lawn. MMMMmm I'm in flavor... yard.

    Be concerned?

    I'm not worried about it. ****mittens works in fast food, at least my vape is heated upon use. A cold is also nicer than lung cancer.

    Even the big guys started in the kitchen. You can't compare a multi billion dollar company to a start-up. Granted it should be produced in a clean environment, but, you can't expect a mom and pop place to do what Coke, Pepsi and other big corps do out of the gate. The Juice makers that have a good product build up to better facilities. When doing my DIY juice I dedicate an area just for that. I keep it clean and tidy that is just common sense as well as safety. There are no pets allowed in the area, no kids... So long as someone is mindful of what they are doing I don't take issue with it. Profits from Juice are very small unless you are selling thousands of bottles a day. If a mom and pop place gets to that point then they have to expand out of necessity. That would be the time to upgrade a facility to were even more safety measures get put in place.

    Did you know that PG is a powerful anti-bacterial? They use it in hospitals as well to kill bacteria. While I don't want to have someone who is clearly sick and sneezing and coughing all over the place making my juice in filthy conditions, I like to think most places use at least some standard of cleanliness.

  23. http://www.ecigarette-research.com/web/index.php/2013-04-07-09-50-07/138-cinnamon-flavours-in-e-cigarettes Details Created on Thursday, 21 November 2013 17:51 Cinnamon flavours in e-cigarettes: how inappropriate research can misinform the public and the (amateur) professionals By Dr Farsalinos Considerable debate has been focused on the issue of cinnamon flavors after a study was published in a toxicology journal declaring that such flavored liquids are cytotoxic. Just one month ago, a study published by our group also found that a cinnamon-flavored liquid was slightly cytotoxic (although still 10 times less toxic that tobacco smoke). I have already sent a letter to the editor of Toxicology in Vitro raising concerns about the latest study they published on cinnamon, however due to significant misinformation spread throughout the social media, I decided to publish this comment. First of all, it was surprising to see a vendor removing cinnamon flavors from his sales list. According to a well-known e-cigarette activist, When a juice maker that fills thousands of bottles a day does this - you should listen. My response to this is: If the juice maker who fills thousands of bottles a day knew what he was doing, he should have found out about it before any research was published. What I mean is that makers have no idea about the cytotoxicity of their products. They are doing no research, so how would they know? But it is even worse that they are making such moves (to remove cinnamon flavors) without even reading (or understanding) the research they quote. Let me explain. The latest study by Talbots group discussed about the cytotoxicity of cinnamon flavors in e-cigarette. Interestingly however, IF SOMEONE READS THE PAPER, he will find that the researchers never used any e-cigarette. Moreover, they never produced vapor! They tested the liquids in liquid form, not in vapor. How can you support that the results have implications for e-cigarette users when no e-cigarette was used and no vapor was produced? However, there is a bigger mistake. The authors mentioned that they tested 8 refill liquids with cinnamon flavor. They mention the names of the liquids and the companies they got them from. After personally searching on the internet and communicating with some companies, I found out that 4 of the samples were concentrated flavors, not refills. The authors themselves found cinnamaldehyde (the substance giving the cinnamon flavor in the liquid) at levels that differed between samples by up to 100 times. This confirms what I found: some of their samples were concentrated flavors. Finally, there is still another problem in their study. They tested the substance itself (cinnamaldehyde) to see how toxic it is. They found it toxic at levels 400 times lower than currently approved for food use. This is a very strange result and it is hard to explain how regulatory authorities have accepted cinnamaldehyde to be available at such high levels (of course, before the approval, several tests were performed and it was not found toxic).The authors have to explain why their findings contradict previous research. As I mentioned above, a letter to the editor has been sent and is currently evaluated for publication. In short, the results of this study have nothing to do with e-cigarette use and are more applicable to cinnamon use in food (since they tested the liquid in liquid form and they used several concentrated samples). Besides that, the reactions from manufacturers show that, unfortunately, they cannot accept their ignorance and instead of asking an expert so that they get informed, they react in a way that produces panic to vapers, does nothing to protect consumers and only results in a game of public relations tactics. This is even more unfortunate than the mistakes in the research protocol. As a final note, let's not forget that research has shown cinnamon to have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and maybe anti-cancer properties...
