E Liquid as a cognitive enhancer?
mommabird62 and one other reacted to Jeffb for a topic
Article reposted here for the convience of our members. Benefits of Nicotine: Why Non-Smokers Are Turning to E-Cigs Many people have discussed the advantages of smoking e-cigs versus traditional tobacco cigarettes, and those benefits are numerous, but what about people who are non-smokers? There are reasons for people to consider the clean form of nicotine found in e-cigs. Don’t believe it? Consider these four benefits to nicotine use. ■Nicotine For Better Attention Span Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) is frequently spoken about in terms of how it affects young children, but there are many adults that also find it hard to focus on a task due to wandering thoughts and a tendency to be easily distracted. Did you know that nicotine might be a solution? There have been studies performed in the United States and abroad that suggest regular use of nicotine can provide improved attention span. It is thought that this occurs because there is an enhanced activity level in certain regions of the brain shortly after nicotine enters the system. This translates to enhanced visual attention and motor skills. In order to prove the correlation, researchers assembled a group of smokers and gave half transdermal nicotine patches, while the other half received placebo patches. Those receiving the nicotine showed better performance on an attention-based skills assessment. It is also thought that the nicotine found in e-liquid could assist the brain in focusing energies into the needed regions, while slowing activity in other areas of the brain, which would reduce the likelihood of being easily distracted. ■Nicotine for Long Term Memory How many times have you completely forgotten about something you did several years ago, despite friends or family members assuring you that it happened? Long term memory loss is a natural part of aging, but when it begins to fail us at too young of an age, it can be very troubling. Furthermore, the ability to draw on past events and experiences can drastically improve work performance. For that reason, researchers were curious about how nicotine – like that found in e-liquids – would impact this brain function. As such, a team of Vanderbilt University researchers set out to measure such. Again, they used nicotine patches for half of the participants and placebo patches for the other half and remarked that there were notable differences in memory performance for those who received the nicotine. As for the placebo group, their performance showed regression between testing periods – trial ran for approximately six months — if any change at all, which suggests that nicotine could be a significant help to those who suffer from memory loss. Why? Well, the scientists believe that it stimulates nerve cell receptors in the brain. ■Nicotine As a Treatment for Alzheimer’s Disease Seeing that there was improvement in the memory and attention span of average people, a group from Georgetown University reasoned that Alzheimer’s patients could benefit as well. Over a course of six months, a group patients diagnosed with MCI, Mild Cognitive Impairment (a precursor to Alzheimer’s Disease) were assessed. Nicotine patches delivered regular doses, of increasing concentrations, to the patients and it was discovered that those receiving the drug demonstrated nearly fifty percent improvement over the short span of the test. Meanwhile, those in the placebo group showed steady decline of as much as 26%. This study shows great promise for Alzheimer’s patients and their loved ones. The progressive illness can quickly ruin quality of life for those suffering and make it very difficult for loved ones who are forced to act as caregivers. ■Nicotine for Decreased Chance of Diabetes and Obesity We’ve all heard the old adage that states smokers will gain, on average, ten pounds or more upon quitting their bad habit. Of course, the risk of a little weight gain is hardly comparable to the myriad of illnesses and side effects that come with continued cigarette use. Because there are those who really need to lose weight for the sake of their health, some are turning to nicotine in e-liquid form. The nicotine activates nerve cells in the hypothalamus causing the release of a hormone known as proopiomelanocortin (or POMC). It’s a big word that hardly has to be memorized, but the important part of the message is that, in releasing the hormone, it causes a massive reduction in hunger. That is to say, nicotine is an appetite-blocker. Thus, when a person quits smoking, he or she will likely see the aforementioned weight gain, but when nicotine is first introduced to a non-tobacco user, there is likely to see a quick drop in rate. While nicotine is hardly recommended as a weight loss supplement, there is some advantage to using the zero-nicotine e-liquid. The flavor liquids produced and used in e-liquid are really loved by e-cig users and it is possible to get the flavored e-liquid without the nicotine. There are a few advantages; the taste buds are satisfied, the brain is occupied with something other than food during breaks, and the lack of nicotine means that there is no risk of addiction. With these points made, it is easy to understand why e-cigs and e-liquids are being embraced by a growing segment of the population. It could just be that the clean nicotine found in e-liquid is the answer to many difficult medical question.

Pg/Vg
Crazyavonlady and one other reacted to bcartervol98 for a topic
I prefer at least 60vg but my all day vapes are from Fuzion and are listed as. "No PG Added". They stop short of saying PG Free because some flavorings have PG in them. At this point I want no throat hit. And remember when you are ordering online you are also supporting small businesses unless you order directly from China. All three places I order stuff from are online and I have spoken to the owners multiple times. I went into a vape shop once in my hometown. There were 0, then 5, and now back down to 2 since 3 have closed. They gave such ****ty advice and were so overpriced I never went back and it's no surprise they are closed . I live in the south and a lot of people that frequent the shops have no idea how badly they are being raped on cost of hardware. A lot of "country" folks are scared to order anything online. If the local shop carried Fuzion liquids I would buy them locally if they were competitively priced but will never buy any hardware there.2 points -

Just have to say one thing. Buy some Sony vtc3,4,5, or 6 and be done with it. Which ever ones you can find. If you get efest and they say its vtc3s be sure to look at the battery and find that long azz vtc number somewhere under that red shrink wrap. Same goes for the eh battery. A lot of fakes going around. Be safe guys. And most of all smart. That old phrase has been around for ever for a reason, if its to good to be true then it is.2 points -

Faulty Protank 2?
Tam reacted to bcartervol98 for a topic
I change my coils about every 5-6 tank fulls on average. I have a bunch in rotation but if I were using and refilling one tank I would say I would be changing mine about every 6-7 days. They are too cheap to deal with even the slightest burned taste. Also never had a KPT 2 or Davide mini leak till last week I got a bad coil and it emptied overnight. Not bad for vaping as long as I have. Be sure to swab out the condensation from the tip and shaft on each fill up. Most people confuse leaking with normal condensation running down the shaft and making it gurgle a bit. A qtip through the shaft at each fill up should fix it.1 point -

Tam reacted to Compenstine for a topic
Thank you Dasfriek. Yes it does suck to find out after you spent money for a product to find out it is fake. Batteries are the worst. At least with hardware you can still make back what you spent. With batteries like the Sony's and AW's etc. not so much. The main reason is the danger and people, understandably, not wanting to take that risk, they become unsellable. Sounds like this vendor may see that he made a mistake and is working on correcting it. That can only be be a good sign. PM me about the Juice I'll see what I can do. I have 4 requests I'm working now for custom flavors. so. it may be a bit before I can get to a new custom flavor.1 point -

Tam reacted to Compenstine for a topic
I would, I did almost 6 hours research to make sure the Sony's I bought to sell were legit. Down to talking to people that have done even more research than I had. If a vendor is going to say something is "Authentic" they should make sure it is. If it is not then say so and give the customer the option to buy it or not. I think every vendor should make a reasonable effort to know what they are selling. I don't trust vendors that: 1. Say something is "Authentic" or post a picture of an authentic item, and then send a Clone/Fake. 2. Hide the fact that it is Clone/Fake by not saying either way. 3. Have no clue about a product they sell. As far as reputation all vendors understand how competitive the market is, if they don't, they need to find a new business. When you sell fake or overpriced clones, and/or don't care about the customer by giving poor customer service, it will bite you in the a** and your reputation will tank. There are far to many good vendors out there to be complacent and will only hurt a business in the long run.1 point -

Nicotine eliquids
Mtdobies reacted to fishguy1123 for a topic
I don't meen to come acrossed as captain obvious, but if you don't normaly use or need anything other than 0nic, you will feel the nic to whatever degree you use it..... Especialy if it goes from 0-18mg! Stick with 0 and order enough and often enough to stay with 0 nic and enjoy. The battery you use will not change temps based on nic level as far as I know. Stay safe and only use liquid from vendors you trust.1 point -
I would reccomend the evod kit you can get right here at VT. It will get you going and last for a while. Then you can read further and decide if you want to upgrade when ever. Look in the eliquigd reviews section for juice vendor suggestions The only other thing you will need to replace regularly are genuine Kanger coils.1 point

Kanger Aero or Aspire Nautilus?
wikidbitch reacted to Aquatroy for a topic
I own both and prefer the Kanger. I have converted several KPT 1s and 2s with the airflow base, and it makes a huge improvement. I have only heard of one instance of someone drilling out an Aero but who knows why, they have great airflow, and infinite adjustment factor, where the Nautilus only has four options and it does not lock, but clicks in place, three of the four air holes are too small and one is too large, so I could never find a sweet spot. Tank is a monstrosity at 5 ml, and breaks easy, I get a dozen calls a week for replacement tanks. Coils are more expensive than Kangers, nautilus mouthpiece is small and wobbly. Aero tank has been redesigned from the KTP2 with a flat top, brushed chrome instead of polished, and fit and finish is top notch with a well fitting mouthpiece.1 point -

The best part about The Walking Dead series is that it's not so much the zombies that you have to watch out for as it is other survivors that want to take your stuff. The Walking Dead is my favorite show EVER! From Callie's Kustoms: *3400 Zombie Response Limited Edition!* Same specs as our 3400 W/PCB 1mm Top below, but with the sweet Zombie Response decal.

Yeah, it did seem a little odd, but in their defense, I did ask them if they wanted me to send it back once they told me they'd ship out a replacement. To be honest, I kinda figured they'd say, "Nah...it's our bad...just keep it". Surely they won't resell it. It sort of creeps me out now that I think about a juice vendor taking returns. *ATTENTION JUICE VENDORS* In the future, if you send the wrong product to a customer, it's probably a good idea to just write it off and fast-ship the right product to them. *THAT IS ALL*1 point
