All the restaurants need, for vaping sections, is a nice quiet little dehumidifier that, to be honest, they should have anyway, what with all the vapors fro cooking, coffee, breathing. A dehumidifier would whisk the vapor away before the busy body 30 tables over even noticed. How fun would that be to be able to meet up with friends, clubs, family, in cafes again! More and more I hear stories blaming Xbox, for our solitude. LoL. Anybody out there? I still demand smoking rooms, because it only takes an hour of vaping before it smells delightful. Plus, I enjoy helping others keep their right to having a smoke room. They almost got hit by a semi, they need their fix. Desperately. Traveling is harder on a body/emotions than grocery shopping is.

It's pretty pathetic when even the Colleges and Hospitals can't be bothered to further educate themselves and others. But, then, one is pushing Big Pharma and the other is pushing Politics....

Wow, you guys have been busy. I had to skip 20-30ages to catch up with you. WtG!!! Dang, that Black Rhino looks sweet, Ace. VaporWall? Haha, as long as the cobra clone works for ya, Rixter, I am happy for ya. I wish I had yourt tinkering skills. I purchased 1500mls of 24mg 50/50 unflavored smoke juice. Should Last quite awhile, and the arithmetic will be easy peazy for me. Carry on.

That French study is total MALARKY. Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives French e-cigarette study, media misrepresent facts Posted: 28 Aug 2013 04:06 PM PDT An article published Monday in The Daily Mail announced "E-cigarettes are as harmful as cigarettes and could cause cancer, claims study." The article stated that a French consumer magazine, 60 Millions Consommateurs (60 Million Consumers), had branded the devices as 'far from the harmless gadgets they're sold as by manufacturers'. Soon, news outlets from all over the world were reporting that "E-cigarettes may be carcinogenic" and "E-cigarettes as harmful as cigarettes." According to the 60 Millions Consommateurs, which is published by the National Consumers' Institute (a government-funded organization somewhat similar to Consumer Reports in the U.S.), their researchers tested 10 e-cigarettes. This "report" comes after the French government announced in May this year its intent to ban electronic cigarette use in public places, which has outraged French e-cigarette consumers and sellers. After the news broke, Clive Bates, former head of ASH-UK and a tobacco harm reduction advocate, announced on his blog that he had issued a complaint about the Daily Mail article to the Press Complaints Commission . "There are many flaws in the Mail article, mostly shoddy health journalism and lack of balance or proportion, and life is too short to go into them all," Bates wrote in a post titled "Lazy, stupid, wrong – the Mail can’t stop itself." The web version of the article has since been re-titled "E-cigarettes contain chemicals that make some 'as harmful as normal tobacco'." On Tuesday, the magazine posted another article with a few more details about its test results, which allowed experts to partially evaluate the findings. MSN.com reported an interview with Drexel University Professor Igor Burstyn, who told them he is skeptical of the study. The article was titled "Rumor: E-cigarettes are as harmful as the real things," and it concluded that the rumor was "unconfirmed" and that "the bulk of research says they're much safer." According to the MSN article: Dr. Burstyn recently published the largest, most comprehensive assessment of research on E-cigarette safety released thus far. (Peering through the mist: What does the chemistry of contaminants in electronic cigarettes tell us about health risks?) That meant looking at dozens of studies done all over the world involving more than 9,000 subjects. His conclusion: “Current data do not indicate that exposures to vapors from contaminants in electronic cigarettes warrant a concern.” A conclusion supported by other health researchers in Palgrave Macmillan, a journal of public health policy. After reviewing all available information, the Scientific Director for The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives, Dr. Carl V Phillips, surmised that "it is almost certain that they used faulty methods, overheating in particular, because that is what produces high levels of acrolein. In previous studies, high levels of formaldehyde have been identified as lab errors, not output from the e-cigarettes. As for the metals, Burstyn has already explained that without knowing what molecular form they were in, the information is useless." "This is why real scientific publications include a methods section," he continued. "We basically have no idea what they did, though it is pretty clear their methods were faulty to the point of this being almost completely junk. The 'almost' refers to the fact that perhaps high levels of acetaldehyde are created by certain flavorings. But, again, since we have no idea what they tested or how, we can make no sense of what was reported." Dr. Phillips concluded, "this is more of a marketing con than a scientific study." "The same chemicals were tested in 12 brands of e-cigarettes in a study by Goniewicz and coworkers that was published earlier this year," added Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos, a researcher at Onassis Cardiac Surgery Center in Athens-Greece, in a commentary on Ecigarette-Research.com. "So, nothing new was tested in the French study. More importantly, the results of the French study are almost identical to those of Goniewicz." "I cannot explain why worldwide media refer to this study as if it is the most important discovery about e-cigarettes," he wrote. In the MSN article, Burstyn said his professional research has even informed his personal life, as he told them that he's worked hard to convince his wife to quit traditional cigarettes in favor of the newer e-versions. "Smoking a regular cigarette is like running on the highway in flip-flops," he said. "E-cigs is taking a taxi."

Meanwhile, daily URGENT CALLS from CASAA keep rolling in because of towns following Glants propaganda are banning ecigs in their towns ... Sneakily, without much notice...CHECK YOUR TOWNS PAPERS DAILY FOR COUNCIL MEETINGS!!! They are terrified Headshops will sell ecig items too, and are suddenly picking on them after all these decades of them being in business. It's an effin war out there. Get your honeys & your hineys signed up with CASAA.ORG and fight fight fight these horrible Nanny Control Freakin ANTZ.

You're welcome. The Bug is a new resettable fuse that also acts as a spring. It is designed with the Roller mechanical telescopic mod in mind, but should fit most telescoping mods. They might come out with designs for the other mechanical mods out there in the future. I shouldn't have brought it up if you don't have a telescopic mod. (It's designed especially for low ohm users too). Worth keeping in mind tho,

Definitely go higher nic until your body adjusts to not having all the other bad toxins you're so used to. Most happy beginners started at 24mg.

Protected or unprotected batteries? And which is the best brand?
Uma replied to spydre's topic in General Vaping Discussion
While this topic is here I'll mention the new resettable spring replacement fuse for mechanical telescopic mods called the Bug by atmizoo.com. It's brand new and specially made for us low ohm folk with our mechanical mods (telescoping mostly, to date) -

That's exactly what I would suggest. Ya done great, IMO. -
I hope it comes in purple, I'll get two!

The PROTOTYPE HyDiD was gifted to me this week by a must be crazier than sin person, but I'm not one to judge. I love it!!! It turns my Poldiac into a Hybrid. But because I also have the original 510 connection I can turn back into it's normal state by just untwisting it off the mod. Gotta love it when the Modders muses get going. The real HyDiD's should be available real real soon. They have glass tanks with SS sleeves with windows over them, and so forth. (you'd never believe the fun designs they had come up with during their creative brainstorming). My new to me HyDID on my Uma edition Poldiac

woohoo! Got the boyfriend to start vaping!

Awesome news, Congrats!!!!! -
Yes, you can use the fuse and not the Kick. The fuse is just a safety guard in case your battery overheats or something. That usually happens when your battery tries to pull too many amps.. most mods are 2.5 to 3.5 amp range.. being aware of your battery, atty resistance and the amp of your mod helps to avoid any shorts. But, then there are always those hard shorts, where your atty shorts out due to a weirded out wire and POP, there goes your spring or your FUSE. It never hurts to have a fuse. (speaking of which, the Roller people, Atmizoo.com has invented a new fuse called the BUG. I don't know which mods it will work in, you'd have to read the page, but it's a good one! I have it in my Roller). The OHMS Law calculators are great aren't they! They're especially helpful in letting us know whether or not our mods are capable of handling such a low resistance and the such. (the vendor/modder usually states what the mod will handle). I think you're doing the last math question correctly, but my mind panic's when it comes to math, and I really don't have a proper clue. Hang in there and some math whiz will help ya (and me lol) out shortly.

WOOOOOOOT!!! Right on!!! Now get busy filling er up. Oh Honey, be very very careful what you wish for... before you know it they'll be coming out your ears.

Great story and thanks for sharing with us!! I can so relate about being the only smoker when going anywhere, but there is always someone lighting up.. at the party it would have been you two. Now that I vape, I see more smokers than I ever did before when I needed them. Crazy how that works.

That's way cool!!! Very ingenious!!! Put a word in for Njoy Kings if you're asked.

Hey, if you're unhappy with my vaping, I could always try to go back to smoking tar, and 400 other toxic chemicals if you miss them that much. But, you better pay for my hearse. I'll quit vaping when I'm good and ready, thank you very much. I enjoy vaping, it calms me whenever I'm around stupid idiots like you. I'll quit vaping the day you quit drinking coffee, BBQ-ing hot dogs, watching porn, criticizing others, dictating others, and being an overall pain in the human race arce. wait... maybe you don't want my advice...
