I have to wonder about long term side affects of these products.

i know one thing.... it changes their vocabulary... ohms and tanks and i-gos an' vw's .... vw's ?



not knocking this system... and i was considering giving it a go.... but then someone said the 'hipsters' are all over it.... 

hipsters... make my hand want to go all slappy on their silly faces!! 

i cant be associated with hipsters!! ... id have to change my whole wardrobe!

... oh and e-juice.... just reminds me of this

Knew it wouldn't be long for the aussie squatters to settle in 

LOL Janxy, quite the imagination.  It is interesting though the subculture that has developed so quickly around it.

Rofl. The "Aussie squatters".

Janx, I know what you mean. I saw a LOT of hipsters at the vape shop I went to. But, as long as you don't wear skin-tight pants (please don't) and claim to do everything before it was cool, you'll be fine.

Btw, I have bought my last pack, which happens to be lights. I'm in the process of deleting triggers right now. I've already got the car down, so I no longer spark up in the car. That was the biggest one, too, so the others will shortly follow. Looking to be tobacco free by the end of the week!

JAS6377, Just find an Ejuice that fills you Nic craving and you will be fine. Than slowly dial down the nic and you will be happy. I started with 12mg on nic in a clearomizer with a VV ego twist. Now I use a full Mech with  dripper and using  my own 3mg e juice I make.

So there was a big spot on the local news station about how there are marijuana juices hitting the underground market and people are vaping weed under the radar.  Of course they calles all of the local police stations asking of they were aware of it.

This means that soon vaping will be looked at as probable cause for searches -"reasonable suspicion" would be satisfied as determined by court cases.  If you have a vaporizer you will be suspected.  This means I am giving up my vaporizer.  I will not allow myself to be considered part of this. 

Friggin pot heads are going to ruin this for everybody...

[BockinBboy]

There are THC specific vapes and atomizers out there... They use hash oils and are a bit different because temperature matters more with oils. Stuff is sold in Colorado that I am aware... I really doubt it will get outta control and result in searching just because you have a personal vaporizer. Cops don't search you just because they see an Rx bottle unless you give them a reason.

Yea, why can't those stonies just stick to the good 'ole "analog" bat and dugout?

BYW, I saw a news story today that said they have found things like tin, nickle, and other metals in the vapor from various ecigs, most of which where made in china.

[BockinBboy]

That's another scare tactic on the table... tell people they are inhaling heavy metals and they will freak... when fact is you intake heavy metals all the time... you probably take in more heavy metals from eating a BAR S hotdog than you would in an entire year vaping...  You say the problem is 'inhaling' these metals... there are standards sets for inhalation medicines and most of the metals found in the study on e-cigs were not even 1% of the daily metal inhalation standard set for medicines, the highest of metal intake was still under 5% compared to the standard... The amount found in the study was in hundredths of micrograms, while the standards for daily inhalation medicines for these metals are in the tenths and singles of micrograms for daily intake... Also, an actual analog cigarette contains higher amounts of these same metals than the equivalent amount of e-cig... much higher.  This story does not scare me... what scares me is the amount of people lead on by it... E-cigs are safe for daily use, and are far better than cigarettes on all accounts.

Obviously use your head when buying as you would for anything you buy... I steer clear from china made products in general anyway, and I only buy made in the U.S. e-juices, and high quality atomizers... I do agree that something needs to be done in terms of quality of products and setting a metal standard for amounts in e-cigs... more regulation is coming, and that one would be welcomed... but that won't happen for Chinese products whether its the law or not.  Making huge money on months of sales and dealing with a huge lawsuit is far more profitable than taking things off the market because they aren't safe - and a large majority of immoral business practices come from china... so just use your head, but e-cigs aren't some enemy of the people...

Edit: It would important to note the metals found in e-cigs are coming from the coils and wicks... soldered joints in coils are a main culprit, and nichrome resistance coils, and silica wicks would be the ones with highest amounts by far - and reminder that 'highest amount' is a relative term to the very low amounts found in e-cigs.  If this metal thing is a concern for you, it can easily be resolved by making your own coils with high quality kanthal resistance wire, and using cotton wicks... very easy, and btw you don't solder when making your own coils (producers use solder for ohm resistance consistency of their coils)... or find a company that builds atomizers/coils without using solder.

I really haven't read any bad reviews on it.  Looks like it could vape well for near anyone's preferences... It looks huge, and the actual tank itself looks like it has very large juice capacity, but not sure with how thick the glass is.  I saw a reference pic on the coils and wicks, and they look really small, so I imagine it gives a really good, clean flavour on juices.  I might get one, I really like the adjustability... I have to tweak everything on my current tanks to get what I want, whether it be drilling out air holes, changing wicks, etc... and its all a little different each time you build a new coil, so more tweaking there beyond airflow.  Usually I have to switch tanks if I want lung hits or mouth to lung - because you want thicker for mouth to lung, but more air for lung hits... so a tank that can effectively cover more bases and is less time consuming is definitely appealing to me.

The only thing I don't like is the price of replacement coils - Being a dual bottom coil, I doubt its easy to make replacement coils.

I ordered it of myfreedomsmokes and they have a 17% off coupon code it was only like 44 with shipping and 5 pack of coils

If you buy one order a metal tank.. There is threads on the glass and it already broke ...

Oh dang man, that sucks. Thanks for the heads up.

Well I picked up an aspire nautilus. Smoothest draw I've experienced yet. Only first day with it, so I need to test more... But the construction quality is tremendous.

No vaping here, but I do have an occasional cigar.  I also have a corncob pipe and a "Middle Earth" blend that tastes pretty good.  I've never smoked a cigarette, though, and never will.  I do my best to mitigate the risks associated with cigars/pipe tobacco, though (not drinking and smoking, not smoking with any sores in my mouth, etc.)

The e-cigs are a great product for helping people to quit.  A few of my aunts/uncles have been long time smokers and are now only on e-cigs, so they do seem to work for quitting/modifying the habit.  They also sound interesting from a tinkering standpoint from what I've seen in this thread.
