Any Vapers?

Battery efficiency depends a lot on the design and usage of the person while I did have a change to take notes between the 4400mah battery on the iStick 50w and MVP 3.0 Pro with 4500mah and the word is?

The iStick took the lead! The MAH number didn't amount to anything! I had both running the exact same brand and model tank since the iSub immediately went to work on another box mod. Both were set for 30w with the same ejuice in each tank.

UPDATE: Or should I say one came in about an upcoming documentary you may not have heard about regarding ecigs and vaping. The email news stated the filming in Europe has completed and they may be headed to the states to film more here as well as other places. You can subscribe for email updates at the only web page found so far other then one on a social network where first word came from at: A Billion Lives | The Documentary Film About Vaping

Besides the great news about an documentary coming out in the next could be several or maybe not so long afterall since no time frame but early 2016 at the latest there's also some other information to share regarding a worldwide survery conducted in 2014 and then once again this year with the comparison made of "Dual Users" as far as those who still smoke but have either at least tried an ecig or vape on even a daily basis as well as smoke.

Here's a bump with a few rather interesting articles that came up I thought would be good to share here.

Vaping: e-cigarettes safer than smoking, says Public Health England

Government body says vaping can make ‘significant contribution to endgame of tobacco’ and raises concerns about length of licensing process

Report seen at Vaping: e-cigarettes safer than smoking, says Public Health England | Society | The Guardian

In a vast contrast compared to the ficticious non sense that was recently published in the New England Journal of "Ficticious" Medicine we have another health agency saying:

Can we afford to ignore e-cigarettes?

Posted on 8/24/2015



A new report compiled for Public Health England suggests that e-cigarettes are significantly less harmful than tobacco and, as such, could have a role in supporting smokers trying to quit.

10 Outrageous E-Cig Exaggerations That Keep Smokers Smoking



Journalists, scientists and public health experts have all had a lot to say about electronic cigarettes recently.


As you’d expect when a subject’s as controversial as this one, what they’ve been saying covers a wide spectrum of accuracy.


Some of it’s highly reliable, some might benefit from a less biased interpretation and of course quite a bit is just wrong.


And then there’s some that has a kernel of truth but has been blown up to alarming proportions.


Here are ten of the wilder vaping-related exaggerations that are doing the rounds – and are sending smokers to an early grave:

You could almost laugh if it wasn't as serious a health issue as it is!

I Need Some Help

Poor health report. Must quit smoking. Could you guys give me your best tips on how to quit cold turkey ??

Congratulations to ThrashZone on his success. Alot of will power there my friend.

Poor health report. Must quit smoking. Could you guys give me your best tips on how to quit cold turkey ??

One quick tip I can suggest is at first slowly making the effort to cut down on just how many you light up in a day's time! Before I even got into the first cigarette look alike starter kit which doesn't do much! I was already down from 3 packs to under 1 pack daily! After the first six months before actually getting into the much better variable wattage gear I was already "Ready to Quit" on a permanent basis having bought the last carton.

Ironincally a new state law banned wholesale clubs as well as any other places either being a pharmacy or including a pharmacy section(know any like Walmart) no longer being allowed to carry anything more then lighter fluid still used when camping! No tobacco products or anything with nicotine would be allowed!

Not a problem as I had already planned to vape solid for a month and then light up to see the aftereffects! BLAAAAAAAA I burned those few packs off in May 2013 after a full month of April free of smoke and later when someone got seriously ill I ended up with a few more loose packs but not one since mid July 2013! The regular habit was already done for!

For me the habit was DOA! by that date having been looking for information on "Electronic" or "Smokeless" cigarettes for some time not having found anything about them until someone else was quitting his own 4 pack a day habit and eventually started up his own family run e-liquids business after feeling the gradual improvement.

Setting the goal and not swallowing all the hype about "Oh how addictive nicotine is and how you can't simply..." BULL! the media promoted through the years! Nicotine is liken to Caffeine and you better not eat any Eggplant or tomatoes! since those types of plants see nicotine naturally as a defense against insects not people! The drug companies simply wanted to get richer selling pills, gums, inhalers loaded with some 40 chemicals, and other useless products so you would have to buy more believing you had to in order to quit!

Break the Habit by wanting to do just that! Vaping can be a large help once you get into the gear best suited to you not someone else mind you. Here smoking menthol for decades was at the same time something I would have preferred not to have done since I could never stand the smell but suffer acute allergies where menthol in vapor provides a cancer free alternative! It's the tar in smoke that does the most damage along with the other 68 known carcinogens along with thousands of chemicals found in tobacco smoke both natural and additives to make you want to smoke more! Big T's Big Lies!

Thanks everyone
Now a new years hopeful to stop vaping by 2016
I might run out of juice before then

 

[Night Hawk]

I won't! But no one says you have to continue anyways. Just be sure not to fall backwards when opting to no longer vape and undo the progress you have already made!

 

[ThrashZone]

Oh yea not much of a wagon to fall off of vaping a little bit if need be
But probably will at least give it a go to stop.

You have done excellent so far and made all the right decision's.
I have all the confidence in the world in you to continue to do the same.

I look forward to the day you announce you stopped vaping also !

 

[ThrashZone]

Thank you very kind of you to say
Me too
Vaping is a pain with all of the cleaning of the device to keep it going not to mention the charging...

 

[Night Hawk]

I doubt you will see me stop vaping any time soon unless I nuke my sinuses somehow to prevent histimine reactions! I have been Blessed or Cursed depending on how you look at it for the last 50yrs. with "The Nose knows"! Any bit of pollen or dust floating around and whamo! Yet as a kid you couldn't keep me indoors and I even got lost in the swampy area as a toddler.

Finally being able to say "Good Bye Smoke" has a been a large burden lifted here however And I no longer have to pick and choose what next new mod or tank has to be looked over to see results. Someone commented last night that they haven't been seeing me in certain vaping discussions lately and I likely won't be as far as simple day to day chatter but still looking at the newer technologies.

Massive congratulations on the 1 year mark Thrash, really well done mate!

[ThrashZone]

[bej]

Nighthawk -

Thank you for your suggestions. I'm trying to quit cold turkey after 60 years of sucking it in. Been five days and very minor bumps over this road. Again, appreciate your help.

 

[ThrashZone]

I doubt you will see me stop vaping any time soon unless .

Unless you open a used vaping mod's store and sell them all
1000's.us in mod's spent sir


Cold turkey is tough and doomed to fail unless you receive a lucky dog award

Someway, somehow, I need to get the Lucky Dog Award.....
Failure is not an option.....
