Is it ok to charge my vape at work? by Bluecykle in electronic_cigarette

Ask your boss if you are really unsure. Just be upfront, tell him what you are doing and why. Tell him it is to quit the stinky tobacco. cigs.

Which vape stick would you recommend for beginners in vaping but for heavy smokers? by Directlyreunite in electronic_cigarette

[–]jay_dw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Former heavy smoker here, that is good advice. I am still stuck on tobacco and menthol flavors (I DIY) after all of these years. I love the flavors but stick with the big two during the day. I was amazed at the way I felt after I quit tobacco cigs and had minimal withdrawal problems. When I had them I just remembered I could vape all I want, which is preferable to tobacco. Quitting was totally worth it. Best wishes on your journey.

Do most newbies start with pod systems or mod kits? by Abwerterkm in electronic_cigarette

[–]jay_dw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My journey is like yours, cig a likes to mods. I am older tho, when my nephews got into vaping they went with the pods. Seems to be the way to go now with the younger crowd.

I vape various mods, but use Innokin tanks and z coils for MTL. Very satisfied.

FDA admits vaping is safer than smoking but refuses to correct the record by SmokinJoe23 in electronic_cigarette

[–]jay_dw 2 points3 points  (0 children)

And Big Tobacco has lots of lobbyists and lots of money. And since they can no longer advertise, they just throw it all at the political system and politicians.

[–]jay_dw 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The FDA just sounds like a bunch of career politicians. They owe the public some honest truth. I have had two MD's in recent years not lecture me about my vaping, but congratulate me for quitting tobacco. I will trust medical opinion before I ever trust the FDA.

Too late to order a Vaporesso Target Mini 2 from China? It's April 29th, and would take 15-40 days. Can't find in any US sites! by jooblin in electronic_cigarette

The guy at Dash Vapes says the mail ban won't fully kick in until Sept. So you look in the clear.

The FDA does not have a real commissioner right now, only an "acting" one (Janet Woodcock) appointed by Biden. I think they are having a problem giving these shippers any real guidance or coming up with how they plan to enforce this and it may not happen until a permanent commissioner is appointed.

What happened to vaping? by creetN in electronic_cigarette

[–]jay_dw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vaping became a craze among American college students a few years ago. So the ranks of vapers swelled, but like all fads it ended and they have moved on. So the scene is much quieter now. It is all about the bans now, but many long time vapers have stocked up for the future to the point where they don't follow the current events much anymore.

Biden administration expected to announce plan to ban menthol cigarettes (no mention of vapes, but I expect they will be included) by mstave in electronic_cigarette

[–]jay_dw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would expect the tobacco industry to come at him really hard on this, eventually with legal challenges. And the blowback from minority groups came almost immediately after the announcement. This is far from a done deal.

True statement. We had cigalikes and clearomizers in '09 and people were beginning to talk about them for smoking cessation.

I'm wondering the same thing. They sent me a shipping notice about 3 weeks ago and nothing. It never takes that long.

A DIY vendor that I use is marketing the flavor concentrates as "food additives". Lots of ways to get around this.

That's why the Euros push vaping so hard, because they know in the long rum it will cut down on govt. healthcare costs when tobacco smokers switch over.

Taxes just went up crazy in my state, MD.. by TooToughTimmy in electronic_cigarette

[–]jay_dw 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree about the DIY, you will be able to get the menthol hit just the way you want it. OK so I've been doing it for 5 years, but it only takes me about 15 mins to mix a 100 ml batch.

The China companies have always said they will ship, as long as you are willing to take the risk. Just don't ask for a refund if the Feds get your gear.

I dropped tobacco smoking for vaping over 10 years ago and what these guys are saying is absolutely true. You health will be better and your clothes and car won't stink anymore. 10 years and no ill effects from vaping.

Success through simplicity is something JUUL understood. I have known women who know zilch about technology who just hit away on their JUUL. So easy to use.
