The hated e-cigarette thread.

Just upgraded myself from a Smok Vape Pen 22 to a Smok AL85 Baby Beast kit.

We veteran vapors mix our own liquid as per our preference. I buy PG and VG with some menthol concentrate and mix 500 ml at a time and it is cheap and lasts for months.
I went from 12 mg nic to 3 mg overnight with no probs but vaped more. At zero nic I still vape more but enjoy the taste. At this stage my wife gave up completely.
On you or smoking?
 
Keep telling a buddy of mine that he's smoking a smaller version of an Okkah pipe. Goes ballistic when I say that :crylaugh:
 
Ok guys/girls my kangertech subbox mini finally gave up on me :( I got the I just 3 but it doesn't last long enough. Sooo what would you recommend? I need a good one but not too expensive + I must be able to change batteries in it. Also coils must be easy to get.

:)
 
Literally the only thing that bothers me with vaping is some of the aromas. It is similar to being in proximity to someone wearing excessive aftershave or perfume.

If that can be toned down to an almost imperceptible level than I have not issue if people vape even indoors.
 
Apple removing all vaping apps from App Store this morning after 42 deaths

Apple is this morning removing all vaping apps from the App Store following yesterday’s CDC report that says that 42 people in the US have died from lung disease associated with e-cigarette use.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said that there were a further 2,172 cases of severe respiratory illnesses among those who vaped either nicotine or cannabis products…

Axios reports:

Amid growing health concerns over e-cigarettes, Apple will remove all 181 vaping-related apps from its mobile App Store this morning, Axios has learned […]

The company has never allowed the sale of vape cartridges directly from apps. But there were apps that let people control the temperature and lighting of their vape pens, and others provided vaping-related news, social networks and games.

Apple has been headed in this direction since June, when it stopped accepting new apps that promote vaping. Those who already have a vaping-related app on their iPhone will be able to continue using the app and install it on new devices […]

Apple in a statement to Axios: “We take great care to curate the App Store as a trusted place for customers, particularly youth, to download apps. We’re constantly evaluating apps, and consulting the latest evidence, to determine risks to users’ health and well-being.

Recently, experts ranging from the CDC to the American Heart Association have attributed a variety of lung injuries and fatalities to e-cigarette and vaping products, going so far as to call the spread of these devices a public health crisis and a youth epidemic.

We agree, and we’ve updated our App Store Review Guidelines to reflect that apps encouraging or facilitating the use of these products are not permitted. As of today, these apps are no longer available to download.”

The CDC report says that more work is needed to determine the specific causes and that people should consider refraining from all usage of e-cigarette or vaping products.

 
It seems that everyone is closing down on vaping.. . . . .Facebook is also doing everything it can do close down the vaping community on there
 
"We need to de-demonise nicotine" said Ann McNeill, a professor of tobacco addiction and the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience at King's College London, who has spent her career researching ways to help people quit smoking.

Steve Hayward over at Power Line recently
interviewed Dr Sally Satel
, practicing psychiatrist, author, and drug treatment expert, in a podcast on the opioid crisis and the misplaced attack on vaping. I'm not a vaper, but those interested will find her comments intriguing. From the blurb: "There are some glaring contradictions and ironies between our attitudes and policy responses to both issues, but it takes someone of Sally Satel’s perception to notice these dimensions."
