    Uma, the Twist was in my first order! What a great product! I have basically put away all those fancy mods and just go with it all the time. As a matter or fact, I ordered another one and some high res Vision clearos. The low res don't seem to work that well with the twist in my opinion. Let's see if the high res work better.

    jmhester got a reaction from wendallb in Update On My Vaping Dad   
    A few of years ago when I started vaping, I bought my dad a 510 kit for Christmas. He's been smoking since he was 16 and is in his 70s. I knew the technology would appeal to him and he took to it like a duck to water. He was making his own mods (I think I have a picture of some on here somewhere).
    Well, after about a year of cutting down and finally ending up on straight VG, he just quit. Never picked up another analog! He's been clean for about 2 years now and swears he never wants another one. He said he drags out one of his mods and vapes on occasion, just to have something to play with but for the most part he is no doing anything.
    This is my idea of a true success story!

    Hi folks!
    Some of you may remember me and some may not but after almost two years on analogs, I'm back in the digital world!
    Looks like a few things have changed/improved and I'm looking forward to learning about all the new gizmos.
    Anyhow, it's good to be home!

    jmhester got a reaction from Moidderceit in Review Of E-Cig.com E-Cialis Smoke Juice   
    By now, most vapor’s have heard of or run across the line of products from e-cig.com called Healthcare E-Liq, most notably, the E-Cialis product. The product headline reads: “Vaporable Cialis for E-Cig Improve Sexual Capacity”. Like we didn’t know what it was supposed to do!
    For those of you under 40, Cialis is an erectile dysfunction (ED) drug similar to the highly touted Viagra. The major difference is that Cialis is supposed to work for a full 36 hours!
    I was sending off an order for some atomizers that fit an old pen style of mine, so I decided to add in a vial of the E-Cialis out of curiosity. It can be ordered with or without Nicotine and but I went for the one with Nicotine.
    Not knowing what to expect out of some perhaps illegal substance of questionable origin, I must say I was a more than a little apprehensive. But as they say, no guts no glory, so I was willing to give it a try for the good of my fellow vapors.
    Before I get started, let me give you a little background on myself. I’m a 52 year old man in good health and on no medication. I workout religiously and keep in good shape. I can’t say as I have had any real issues with ED in the past. But I have, however, had experience with the real Cialis in the form of a sample from my doctor. And yes, it works as advertised. What I’m saying is: I know what to expect.
    Everything arrived just fine from China via express mail. The products were packaged nicely and got here in great shape. The e-liquid comes in an amber vial with a nice little eyedropper and looks very professional. On the label, it had no indication of what was inside other than to denote that it contained 11mg of Nicotine. But since I didn’t order any other juice, it had to be the stuff.
    Now it was time for some testing! I vaped a Dura-C cart as dry as I could, added in 4 drops of the juice, and took a long drag. The stuff tastes rather medicinal. Sort of a hint of a Listerine flavor. But it’s not all that unpleasant and the taste isn’t too strong. Honestly, I would have been disappointed if it didn’t taste weird in some way. The vapor production was good and I was able to smoke it all up just fine. I probably wouldn’t make it my main juice but it’s OK for those “special occasions”.
    OK, so the question you all want to know is “Does it work?” To be truthful, yes it does. Not like the real prescription product, but not too bad. I tried it on Monday after an “active” weekend so this was a good test. I have to admit that I was shocked! The reaction took about 30-45 minutes and is not as pronounced as the real deal, but not bad. Let’s just say that Mr. Happy was REALLY happy!
    Now I can’t imagine what is really in this product. I am presuming it is not the same compound as prescription Cialis. But if it’s not, then what is really in the stuff and is there a health risk? That, I’m sure we will never know. So use it at your own risk!
    The company recommends a maximum one or two cartridges with E-Cialis daily. They claim the dosage is about 10-20mg of Cialis. This is the recommended dose of the prescription brand Cialis. I would stick with their recommendation just to be on the safe side. You wouldn’t want to end up with a 36 hour Priapism (if you don’t know what that means, Google it and get a good laugh!).
    In addition to the E-Cialis juice, the company also sells an E-Rimonabant juice that is supposed to be the weight loss drug sold in Europe but not approved by the FDA. Since I don’t need to lose weight, I have no plans on trying that one. But they do sell a number of other Healthcare E-Liq that contains everything from herbs to help you stop smoking to vitamins. As Chinese medicine is an ancient art that has been practiced for thousands of years, I wouldn’t doubt the effectiveness of these products either.
    So there you go. The E-Cialis juice has been tested under “field conditions” and passed with flying colors!

    Here's what I sent to this joker:
    Doctor,
    Your ridiculous comments about safer smoking alternatives are unbelievable. Based on the comments to your YouTube video, these comments did not fall on deaf ears. For a medical doctor to not only ignore but to bash a potentially lifesaving product to promote one’s own agenda is the worst form of carelessness.
    You have not provided any medical or scientific evidence to back up any of your negative comments about e-cigarettes. Where are the studies that say free base nicotine is any more harmful than caffeine? Where is the evidence that the harmful side effects of cocaine can in any way be associated with nicotine addiction? Point me to one study that concludes that electronic cigarettes are even remotely as harmful to one’s health as tobacco.
    As you have refused to do your homework and recognize electronic cigarettes as a safer alternative to smoking, I would challenge you to defend your position in an open forum. I would be please to debate you on the subject publicly via the internet. If you feel so strongly about your position, then I would expect you have no problem in defending it. You pick the time and I will provide the place.
    Respectfully,
    Dr. John M. Hester

    jmhester got a reaction from jjinlasvegas in Nicotine In Vaping Compared To Analogs   
    The subject of what vaping is equivalant to in analog smoking is a subject we have been debating about forever it seems. In some ways it's an unfair comparison since vaping is simply a nicotine inhaling process vs the burning process of an analog. It's actually 2 totally different ways of ingesting nicotine. But for the sake of reference and curiosity (mine included), I really sat down and tried to simplify things for myself and my fellow vapors. Here's what I came up with:

    I use to smoke Marlboro Lights which contain .8mg of nicotine. To simplify the calculation, let's just go with 1mg per cigarette. The nicotine advertised for analogs is the actual nicotine absorbed by the body vs our nicotine being a conncentration per ml in the bottle. So when you smoke a Marlboro you actually absorb 1mg of nicotine.

    1 Marlboro = 1mg nicotine

    1ml of 36mg juice yeilds 36mg of nicotine. But, you can only absorb so much. Research puts the vaping absorbtion amount as little as 10% and as high as 40%. So let's go overboard and say 30% is the best you can do (maybe a VP-PT with a fresh LB atty). By calculation: 1ml of 36mg juice X .30 = 10mg of nicotine.

    1ml of 36mg juice = 10 Marlboro

    So if you vape 2ml of 36mg juice, you are a pack a day "vaper"!

    For reference, I calculate some other juice levels so you can see what you are vaping:

    1ml of 11mg juice = about 3 Marlboro
    1ml of 16mg juice = about 5 Marlboro
    1ml of 18mg juice = about 5 Marlboro
    1ml of 24mg juice = about 7 Marlboro
