Short Version from http://vaperscoalition.org/
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Senator,
After many years of smoking, I now use an electronic cigarette/nicotine vaporizer instead of smoking. I have heard that S7234 would ban the sale of electronic cigarettes/nicotine vaporizers completely and that I would no longer be able to purchase them in New York State. I am sure that as one of your constituents, you do not want me to start smoking tobacco cigarettes again, but this will be the unintended consequence of the proposed bill.
These devices are the one thing that finally helped me stop smoking after trying so many other ways. Tobacco cigarettes deliver many dangerous chemicals, but electronic cigarettes deliver nicotine without those dangerous chemicals. I can breathe better and I feel better. I don't cough and I don't smell awful anymore.
I know that you have been told that they contain many dangerous chemicals, but this is not true. I would please ask you to get more information on the device and to educate yourself before voting on this bill. I am a member of the National Vapers Club and they have a short 8 minute video and a webpage that we can send to our legislators so that they may educate themselves. Here is a link.

We hope that you will take the time to educate yourself so that you can help protect the health of your constituents who use this device instead of smoking tobacco cigarettes.
Thank you for your time.

SUBJECT: URGED: DO NOT BAN ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES/ NICOTINE VAPORIZERS FOR ADULTS-AMEND BILL TO UNDER AGED ONLY
BILL S7234: Same as: A9529 Versions: S7234
Dear Representative of NY State Senate Health Committee:
I urge that you do NOT ban the sales or use of Electronic Cigarettes to Adults, according to the Bill that has already been voted on and passed to ban these devices in the NY State Assembly. It is my understanding it is next to be considered by your Committee. The Bill is A9529, which would ban sales of the far less hazardous tobacco alternatives known as Electronic Cigarettes, (Bills A9529 Versions: S7234).
I am a person who has personally switched from regular tobacco cigarettes to the electronic cigarette. I have been a heavy smoker for many years. I have tried many alternatives that have not worked or helped me until now. I have switched, and NOT had a cigarette since.
I can personally attest to the many Health benefits I have already personally experienced in NOT smoking regular tobacco cigarettes any more. I no longer have that terrible cough and I breathe better and feel so much better. My over all health has improved dramatically, no more terrible tobacco odor, or 2nd hand bad smelling tobacco cigarette smoke, no more ashes falling or burning holes in clothes or property, no more yellowing effects to property, clothes and belongings, and no more chance of loss of property or lives due to the use of a combustible cigarette! Another one that also benefits my entire family, my pockets are no longer being picked anymore by the hyper inflated over expense of tobacco packs of cigarettes to which I could do nothing about, not even quit which I tried and tried and tried. Even my family has noticed the improvements, and are deeply upset because of the good changes they have witnessed and experienced that you may now take away if you further the Ban on these electronic cigarettes, from all of us which includes them.
Yet if you ignore our voices, our facts, and our experiences, and that of the many professionals and organizations that have already sent you the facts in support of these devices, you will most likely force many of us back to a tobacco cigarette that contains over 4000 chemicals added which include hundreds of known carcinogen, poisons, and other harmful products NOT shown to be in any electronic cigarette. You will also facilitate the continuance of more loss of property and lives due to the combustible properties of the same tobacco cigarette that our U.S. government is NOT allowed to Ban just TAX!
What message are you sending to all of us with the financial backing and taxes that all of you seem to be supporting by such actions, FROM BIG TOBACCO COMPANIES KILLING US, while banning an alternative that has already proven to millions to be a much better and healthier, and safer alternative.
Assembly Video on YouTube: Vote on Electronic Cigarettes:
http://www.youtube.c...player_embedded
As an Electronic Cigarette user, I am personally shocked by the recent events of the N.Y. State Assembly. I have viewed the Video of their actions to ban this device and pass this bill. What is even more SHOCKING was being able to witness via the Video the fact that the majority of members who voted did not even know what this device was, failed to read any of the information sent to them on our behalf from various organizations, laboratories, real testing's, and even the support of the device from American Association of Public Health Physicians, as the Representatives failed to educate themselves on the facts, and further witnessed the sponsor's false misleading statements about what is truly less hazardous tobacco alternatives, by Jeffery D. Klien (Sponsor-Senator), Linda B. Rosenthal (Sponsor-Assembly Member) and Matt Titone (Assembly Member) were even more SHOCKING!
Quoted from:
http://www.casaa.org...icleID=94&l=a&p=
"The evidence presented [to the Assembly] by Ms. Rosenthal was inaccurate and misleading. The FDA and several other labs have already analyzed electronic cigarettes. They know exactly what is in them and were unable to find anything indicating that they are a danger to the public. Electronic cigarettes are marketed and used as a less hazardous alternative to traditional cigarettes, not as a cure for nicotine dependency," Douglas said.
In his opinion in "Smoking Everywhere vs. FDA," U.S. District Court Judge Richard Leon agreed, writing: "Because plaintiffs sell their electronic cigarette products for customary recreational use, those products (just like traditional cigarettes) are properly excluded from the meaning of drug or device under the FDCA."
Judge Leon concluded that the FDA "cites no evidence that those electronic cigarettes have endangered anyone" nor presented "any evidence that electronic cigarettes are any more an immediate threat to public health and safety than traditional cigarettes, which are readily available to the public."
"To hear [Rosenthal] describe them, you would think electronic cigarettes are worse than traditional cigarettes and that is not what the research is showing," said CASAA medical director, Theresa Whitt, MD. "No toxic levels of any chemical have been found in any electronic cigarettes tested by the FDA nor in those tested by several independent labs. After two years on the U.S. market, there have been no reports of illness or harm due to electronic cigarette usage."
There is also copy of a letter online from American Association of Public Health Physicians to another senator, with valid information in which they support these electronic cigarettes, and states:
Parts Quoted from this fax letter: http://www.ecigarett...l#ixzz0mXsNI042
"Fax March 27, 2009
To: Senator Lautenberg
Fax: 202 228 4054
Subject: Please Cancel Opposition to Electronic Cigarettes
Honorable Senator Lautenberg:
Research to date has clearly demonstrated that smokers smoke because they are addicted to nicotine. This same research also shows that the illness and death due to cigarettes is not due to the nicotine, but due to products of combustion and, to a lesser degree, toxins in the cigarette tobacco.
On behalf of the Tobacco Control Task Force of the American Association of Public Health Physicians, I therefore urge to consider the following:
1. Withdraw your proposal to ban electronic cigarettes.
2. Urge amendment of the proposed FDA/Tobacco bill to encourage the
development and marketing of safer alternatives to cigarettes, under strict
but fair FDA oversight, and with marketing restrictions in place to reduce
the numbers of adolescents who initiate use of cigarettes and other
nicotine delivery products."

Assemblyman Rosenthal made a statement that, "they deliver toxic chemicals found in antifreeze and carcinogens".
There is an eliquid used in many of these devices that contain what is known as PG-Propylene glycol, is also approved by the FDA, for use in foods as:
Taken from and parts quoted from:
http://en.wikipedia....ropylene_glycol
· "While it is used as a less-toxic antifreeze in solar water heating systems.
· "As a humectant food additive, labeled as E number E1520."
In other words, it is already in the foods we ingest and considered safe.
It is absolutely devastating to see that such representatives make these kinds of decisions that we now know are done every day without any real forethought, often without any knowledge of what it is they are even voting on, or care to the facts that effect our everyday life, and often without our knowledge or input. We can see assembly members even twist and misconstrue what little they claim they know NOT to our benefit, despite all the real information and tests sent to them showing there is a real misunderstanding regarding this issue and on any real conclusive or substantial facts. IT IS ALL SHOCKING!
Assemblyman Matt Titone says "he tried them and that his nephew 11 years old can buy this with no questions asked".
I seriously doubt he ever tried one as a smoker of tobacco cigarettes or he would be in support of them, and I notice as a Judge, aka, attorneys who are normally experts with how they specifically use or misuse words, he did NOT say, "his nephew did try to buy one and he or any other witnessed it as an adult that the vender was about to sell it to the 11 year old or in fact did". Remember what Clinton said about sex!
First, I would like to say I have personally yet to see any Kiosk selling these devices to any persons under age, or any online store. I have went to several online stores to witness that those all do in fact ask if you are over 18, and notice all who are under age it is illegal to enter or sell these products otherwise. Also what adult gives their child bank or creditcards to buy these devices online or does not try to watch what their children are doing and accessing, especially when there is free porn available to all online.
I do ask that these devices NOT be sold to minors and do support that enforcement of such. However it is my right to have that Bill or any other related to be amended to allow the use and sales of these devices to ADULTS only, that my decision to use or not use this device NOT be controlled or eliminated by any government. Don't you think people are angered enough by big government controlling every facet of our lives and what should be our own individual rights, (unalienable rights) and decisions as adults?
It appears that Assembly's vote was heavily influenced by inaccurate claims made by the bill's sponsor, Linda Rosenthal (D-WF), who claimed the products were marketed "as products that help people stop smoking," are "sold to minors" and contain "toxic chemicals.", despite having been presented with extensive scientific evidence and numerous testimonials about the health benefits for smokers who switch to electronic cigarettes.
We hope that you will take the time to educate yourself so that you can truly help protect the health, our right to choose, especially the choice of something we are already personally finding to be of benefit and a great help in our lives and the safety of your constituents who use this device instead of smoking tobacco cigarettes. (Health Welfare & Safety)
Thank you for your time.

I've been using them for when I'm driving and they work very well. I'm quite pleased... the first one I used lasted about 10 hours. They work very good at 5v also. I've used the KR808 cartomizers before and IMO, the 510 carto's work much better. For me, this is the answer to when I can't drip. No more cart filler for me - EVER!
There are a few other thread on the 510 cartomizer - you'll find lots of info and opinions in them.
Brian, how do I get to other thread? -
Has anyone tried the 510 cartomizers?
Sounds like something that I might be interested
in, especially when driving.
-
Did you check the Vapor Talk store? http://www.vaportalkstore.com/categories/Accessories/
Vapor Talk only had 901/KR, had to spend a little more, but need to get VP PT up and running and needed new adapter.Thanks for help.
-
Just a note - Chris did mention in another thread that the adapter sold by Dietsmokes, VT and Vaprlife are specially made for the VP units and using any other adapter will void the warranty.
Thanks for the reminder. Ordered Vaprlife. 
-
Hi twinnie. Vaprlife sells them as does the Vapor Talk store.

Thanks Jeff, just ordered the adapter.

Need to know if anyone has a 510 adapter for the VP PT to sell, other then Dietsmokes ??

THANKS FOR ALL OF THE HELP!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO GLAD I HAVE JOINED THIS I AM DOING BETTER TODAY ONLY 4 ANALOGS....... OFF TO WATCH VIDEOS NOW
Glad you are viewing the videos, I found them very helpful. After 4 months I still look to video on u tube for different infomation. My main point for you is that you will decrease the analogs as time goes by. Welcome and enjoy your e cigs.
-
Boy, Im really not on the ball today, you guys are beatin me to the punch. But, you guys are giving great advice, so Ill just sit back and watch, and keep workin on this f*&@#ng laptop. Thanks guys !
Hi Keenan, I was browsing the posts and noticed thatyou were a heavy smoker, as I was; my question is what e cigs
do you prefer?
-
I have a monster vapor, now I need a stealth vapor. One that is slim like a pen, has a cartomiser I can refill like in Doctor Vapors 3rd video on care and feeding the carto, and that isn't known for tons of vapor but has a great throathit and flavor. Also, the ejucie of course matters... so...
1. Long lasting cartomiser
2. Slim lightweight ecig to hold in mouth easily like a pen
3. No LED light on the end
4. Allows good flavor and throat hit
5. Which ejucie produces less vapor yet has great throat hit and flavor?
There's a need for all varieties. With the Stealth setup, even a clerk could get in some sneak vapes in between their monster vapes on break. (beats rushing out for a cigg to get the nic fix).
Hi Uma, Just holding the vapor longer in your lungs and releasing
it very slowly, or with very short breaths after an inhale, should
work fine.
-
Alright Joseph, you've really gone and opened up a can of worms now---lol. There are many opinions on this, What I have done in the past is to use an ultrasonic cleaner w/ distilled water then blow them out with an air compressor. The other option is to let the atty drain upside down overnight on a paper towel. The third option that I ended up with (probably because I'm lazy) is to just stock up on attys and replace as necessary. The main thing to remember is if you are going to get the atty wet---make sure it is dry before putting it back to use (blow it out or use paper towel to dry it). Hope this helps. Now I'll sit back and watch all of the other opinions come in---lol.
Hi Mark, Sounds good."Six of one, half of dozen of another"

Hello everyone!
I have seen and heard people say you can clean your atomizer to extend the life of it. Is it true? If so how do I clean it? I have heard I put in water and let it soak or I put it in an ultra sonic cleaner with some distilled water. What’s best? Or should I even do it?
Thanks for your Help!
Hi Joe, I clean addy with rubbing alcohol. Let it soak in alcohol
for a couple of hours. I saw this method on U Tube video.
Remove and let dry on paper towel after blowing all liquid out
of addy. I let them dry standing on paper towel over night. I
have been very fortunate with this method, still have addy that
I purchased from Arno, four months ago.

Hi friends,
I started out using the carts that came with the 510 and found that they last only a few minutes before needing topping off again. I've been lifting the filler and putting enough juice on it so that it looks slushy and not puddled and then pushing it back in so that it's even with the edge of the mouthpiece. Sometimes I get a good throat hit from it, but most times I don't, and the cartridge needs re-juicing after only three or four hits.
Now I'm trying direct dripping, but I'm not having much luck with that either. I blew out the atty, took the cart out of the mouthpiece, trimmed off the plastic a bit, then dripped two drops onto the atty. Still I'm getting only a modest amount of vapor, and after a few hits, it tastes really nasty. What can I do to get it to consistently give me those hard-hitting throat hits like I experience every once in a while and the big puff of vapor like Christopher shows in his demonstration video of the 510? Help!!!! ....Pam
Hi Pam, I have found a great deal of information on U Tube.
Video from Ritalee on U Tube is very helpful. I have watched info
on cleaning addy's etc. Give it a try.

When all is said and done you will be given some text from the quitmeter site that will have to be pasted into your signature on this site. So you would copy that text into the clipboard (ctrl+c), go to your profile, edit it, choose change signature then paste (ctrl+v) something that looks like this into the area...I've taken away a couple of characters so you can see what I'm talking about, this one is mine.

Try going there from the link. You have to fill out the information on that page.
Good luck.
Maybe this is the real deal-let's see.
I'll try again tomorrow.Where did my picture go??
Good Night everyone.

If you are talking about the banner, like you see at the bottom of my post, you just have to click on one, like mine, and it will take you where you need to be to fill out the info.
I followed your very helpful instructions, and I think your banner was changed,because I still do not have a banner.

Hi Sin, You are very right when it comes to the VP PT, the best vaping experience, currently using the 510 PT. I have been waiting for the VP PT to be repaired
since Jan. 14., and missing the VP.
How do you find the analog history for days vaping, that I see on many members?

At the moment totally wicked has exclusive right to the 5 battery charger. I hear it works ok. Some report a buzzing noise from it other say it works great. Perosnally I've never used one.
Thank you for the information, I ordered the MEGA 5 charger.
-
Where can I find a 510 charger that will charge 4 batteries at a time?
I had seen in while investigating e-cigs.
Thanks.

Hi Moderator, I am hoping you have some clout with this site and can contact Parked.
I purchased the VP PT and was EXTREAMLY happy with it
After, two months it needed repair, unit was always very, very,
hot and smelled like burned rubber.
Sent it back to Parked for repair and have delivery confirmed on
Jan. 14, 2010. First e-mail to Parked 1-18-2010, and he replied
that he would contact me when it is repaired.
Second e-mail 1-29-2010 and NO reply.
Site states that repairs should take 5 days.
At this point, I am not very pleased with the customer service,
and will probably not purchase from Parker again, even though
the product is exceptional.
