snark Forum Administrator User ID: 14611344 United States 05/04/2014 07:45 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I vape and I love it. This article says some people are "dripping" the vape juice directly on the element and not using the vape properly. Yeah, well, maybe that's a stupid thing to do, but don't punish all vapers for something stupid people do. Vaping helped me quit smoking and now a regular cig is just gross to me. I love my vape! T For Texas, T For Tennessee! The virtue of courage is a prerequisite for the practice of all other virtues, because otherwise one is virtuous only when virtue has no cost. There are times when something needs to be done, and yet we know that if we step up and do this needful thing, we will pay a heavy personal price. -C.S. Lewis |
pmb1 User ID: 50410975 United States 05/04/2014 07:48 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Some E-Cigarettes Deliver a Puff of Carcinogens Quoting: Anonymous Coward 20253736 "Electronic cigarettes appear to be safer than ordinary cigarettes for one simple — and simply obvious — reason: people don’t light up and smoke them... But new research suggests that, even without a match, some popular e-cigarettes get so hot that they, too, can produce a handful of the carcinogens found in cigarettes and at similar levels." Read more... [link to www.nytimes.com] My neighbor tried the Blu cigarettes and he said he heard on the news that they can do more harm then good. However I use to have an older metal E-cig that you had to put a couple of drops of liquid into every so often. That thing burned big time hot. I actually burned my fingers many times on it. Now I have a different type and I love it. |

I would never use one of those cheap e-cigs with the cartridges, I get my vape juice from my local vape store and have a metal tank (no possible danger from heated plastic). But never does my vape even get hot- I don't know why people would try to heat them up so much, it would just ruin the vape IMO.

pmb1 User ID: 50410975 United States 05/04/2014 08:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am the owner of Houston's largest and oldest electronic cigarette store. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 48571547 There will always be "Studies" proving this or that. We don't claim that they are SAFE… just SAFER! To me they are much safer. In fact my heart doctor told me use it all I want just keep bringing the nicotine down then use just flavor. I am actually now using the flavor and lowest nicotine together. By mixing them I can make it at a lower level and then wean myself off the nicotine. |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 30180144 United States 05/04/2014 08:15 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've been vaping for 4 years. I build my own coils, and yes, I "drip". It isn't ANY different than any other e-cigs....the only difference is I build my own coils, drip directly onto the wick, and have MUCH better flavor than other e-cigs. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 38881585 United States 05/04/2014 09:16 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Seems to me that a ton of news stories about children dying from e-cigs, mold in the lungs and half baked studies have been rushed to the headlines over the last couple months. Anyone else get the feeling that Phillip Morris and the like may have something to do with these terrifying tales/studies? |

It is not a carcinogen and it is not bad for the body. Big tobacco and govt are going after e-cigs bigtime. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 57391272 United States 05/04/2014 09:44 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I made a discovery years ago regarding nicotine and pain. I have periodic pain in my shin area from an injury. Sometimes it can be bad enough to make me limp. I tried every otc pain med available, none really helped. I tried some presription meds, a few helped but effed me up, making it difficult to function. Then I realized one day the pain disappeared after I smoked a cigarette, and would stay away for most of the day. It's the nicotine. I'm glad ecigs are available because they absolutely are much safer than cigarettes. I could go on about the ridiculous propaganda and lies by this group or that agency, but will stop here. |
