Anonymous Coward User ID: 16173206 United States 05/29/2012 10:38 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It's really hard to gauge. Instead of taking 15 minute smoke breaks and smoking 2 cigarettes, I take one or two puffs at a time all day long. I use 2-4mL of liquid per day, but I'm also using 36mg juice. I just ordered some 24mg, so that will tell me if I vape less because of the higher nicotine content or not. The propaganda just tells us that, like smoking real cigarettes, e-cigarettes are dangerous as well. This is a true statement, but it is also a loaded statement. Nicotine isn't healthy to use in any form but there are less damaging ways to use it than others. You aren't ingesting the thousands of chemicals in cigarette smoke and you aren't subjecting your lungs to combustion materials, but you are ingesting nicotine. I would compare it to the effects of shooting something with an airsoft gun vs. using a .30-06. Both are doing the same basic thing (propelling a projectile, striking an object) but one has a much less detrimental effect than the other. |

You know that scent that makes hospitals smell like sterile death? Yeah, that's pg. Quoting: AGC You will catch a retrovirus. The typhoid, probably. It's cool though. I already caught the lupus, and the polio. There is also vegetable glycerin. |

You probably have more toxic vapor breathing urban smog... Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16580281 It works, but it works better with a good vaporizer.. Try the "clearomizers" CE4 type on a EGO battery. The toxicity isn't the issue. It's actually the lack of toxicity. It can drastically compromise your immune system with extended use. |

You don't discard it when you're done like a cigarette. It just keeps going. And you don't need to run to the store to get another pack almost always have juice handy. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 16654317 United States 05/30/2012 02:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | You guys really need to stop calling it smoking. There is no combustion happening. No smoke. You get much more of the nicotine from smoking vs vaping. Therefore it is quite normal to vape more than you smoked, just to get your nic-fix. I do vape more than I smoked but that is due to many factors. I never liked smoking indoors, and never in my home. I can vape all day in the house now, and I do. Having a plethora of delicious flavors keeps me vaping a lot, too. Vape your head off. If you want to quit it all, then do it. I vape because I love smoking. I replaced smoking with vaping for my health and wallet. OP, have you tried 18mg? |
