Just remember... It's the Nicotine itself that is bad for your circulatory system... It constricts your arteries and veins. The tar and smoke is bad for your lungs. Who knows which is getting your mouth, nose and throat.
Being Native I'm genetically immune to these things...
Tobacco... The Native American gift to Whitey! Nicotine can increase blood pressure yeah. It's the smoke that causes cancer and tumours, more specifically the tar. The tar lines your mouth, throat, nose, lungs continually and contains thousands of chemicals. You need not educating, cigarette packets already tell you about the cyanide and benzene.
Tar prevents your cilia hair from wafting mucus up away from your lungs. Eventually your lungs are oozing with mucus and carcinogenic tar. More tar=more free radicals=more chance of cancer. It also ruins your life with all the wheezing/coughing.
I'm not even gonna get into carbon monoxide or the thousands of other toxins. I feel like a complete dick for ever smoking in the first place.
I feel significantly healthier since I've quit. Even being able to take a full breath in without coughing feels brand new!
I still got my nicotine yeah, but I now have the choice to incrementally reduce the strength. Eventually I will go to the non-nictoine vapour and ease off completely.

This is the only forum I found that isn't a front for E-Cig companies. Some good info.

Download Allen Carr's book- it works flawlessly. Smoked 10yrs and escaped easily. I know 7 men in my vicinity (including my father (he smoked 2 packs per day for 40 years)
it really works! IMHO the author (RIP) trulyDESERVES Nobel. -
You cannot use them here in Springfield, Missouri in any place that bans smoking... Which is everywhere. They are considered a cigarette with no data to back up any claims of safety. At least that's what the government says.

I also heard the Allen Carr book is good, I know a few people who have quit using it.
But because they are classed as a tobacco product, the import ban was lifted meaning you can buy them in the US legally. You're legally allowed to smoke them indoors in UK, most people don't for some reason, maybe because we got used to the smoking ban and common courtesy I suppose (being a walk over).
Anyway, you just need to Stealth Vape! I did it on the train and nobody noticed!

Solo I received the "Giantomiser" tank today. Not as good as normal tank.
Just stick with the standard one, the giantomiser be more durable but it doesn't draw back as nicely (very loose). I can't substantiate the durability claim though because I stopped using it immediately. So yeah, waste of money
I also looked at distributors for the AC9 Genesis rebuildable vaporizer and it appears they are sold out everywhere or difficult to get hold of. There are alternatives though which look and perform the same, so will keep everyone posted.

That site Solo is on has some very intersting info on rebuilt systems. Not so easy and has some warnings.
I have been though 3 systems and my desire is for 200 dollar system that works.
Until the mass produce the metal micro filters right, they are all going to be erratic. -
We should design one in SketchUp!
The RSST rebuildable looks exactly the same as the AC9....it's basically a chinese copy and costs 4 times less. But yet again they are all sold out over here!
Funny how people modify and "pimp-out" their vapes! It's like a new culture emerging. But yeah I'm gonna try and stick with a mainstream device, I don't trust myself with electricity!

I don't hide anything I do... I live in America. And personally cannot wait to get a ticket and have even tried to be ticketed just so I can go to court and fight these ridiculous bans that are always created by cities who have no constitutional authority to even make such bans. You can tell I'm pissed when I write huge run-on sentences...

Good on you kris! stick it to the man! Nobody has confronted me yet, but I will not concede to their ignorance about the law. I can vape in public and will continue to do so.
Most people just look at me confused! -
One of the things that pissed me off about our local smoking ban was that they purposefully put in the E-Cigs and did a tremendous amount of damage to local smoke shops who were enjoying a nice increase in business (in a down economy) because of the benefits of the E-Cigs. They also banned smoking in the smoke shops who often let people try the E-cigs and different type of tobacco. They also forced businesses who wanted to allow people to smoke to build outdoor patios for them... I believe that if a business wants to allow smoking that is their "business"... people will not frequent their establishment if they don't like it and employees don't have to work their if they don't like it... I can't stand people telling others how to live their lives.
Funny thing is that soon after the ban was enacted a petition gathered strength to put the ban to another citizen vote... When the vote came the Smoking Ban won by an even larger margin than before. So sad that others will strip you of your freedom for their personal preferences.

I did it, went to my local Vape store "great Vapes" and got myself a decent setup.
I bought a Provari variable voltage (full size), 4 cylinders, and 4x 30ml assorted liquids (24mg)
I got a coffee on way home and smoked my ass off in Starbucks and nada they could do, smells like tutti fruiti.

I always have to have a little chuckle when I see anyone talk about freedom and preferences in relation to smoking.
It's an addiction, not a choice.
If anyone has stolen your freedom it's the tobacco companies.
How long is it since you had the freedom to leave the house without looking for your smokes, either real or E.I'm not having a go at you, it's just that people seem to demonise the people trying to help people to stop smoking rather than the ones that got everyone addicted in the first place. I have experience smoking bans in many countries that people always said would never ban it, Italy, Norway, Finland, Germany etc and just like your local vote shows, smokers are actually happy about bans. It's annoying but you do smoke less. I always checked I had a full pack before heading out to the pub, then once it was banned you could go out with less than half a pack and still come home with some.
Over a year since I gave up and I still can't believe I went to bed one night a smoker and got up in the morning and didn't smoke.Sorry, sanctimonious reformed smoker ramble over now, back to the gadgets.
Edit: forgot to say I don't agree with the E ban. Anything that helps people stop has to be a good thing.
