Okay ... seems like some of you are miss informed.

 

 

 

Are They Safe?

The nicotine inside the cartridges is addictive. When you stop using it, you can get withdrawal symptoms including feeling irritable, depressed, restless and anxious. It can be dangerous for people with heart problems. It may also harm your arteries over time.

So far, evidence suggests that e-cigarettes may be safer than regular cigarettes. The biggest danger from tobacco is the smoke, and e-cigarettes don't burn. Tests show the levels of dangerous chemicals they give off are a fraction of what you'd get from a real cigarette. But what's in them can vary.

"E-cigarettes may be less harmful than cigarettes," Drummond says. "But we still don't know enough about their long-term risks or the effects of secondhand exposure."

Okay so vaping technically is bad for you. However, cigarettes are much worse. That being said drinking alcohol is also bad for you and so is taking most prescription and over the counter drugs. Hell even staring at your monitor for 8 hours a day is bad for you. This thread was meant for people who vape.

jesus guys piss off with the cyber humanitarianism and educational campaigns 

 

take your crusades to your local elementary school or something, otherwise grown ass people can make their own decisions, conclusions, and do as they please within legal boundaries.

 

it gets annoying when I open these threads and read "hurrrdurr da smoke b bad 4 u kanser lel i rejeckt hedonism like the japanese monk confuticus"

But it is. The combustion of the chemicals present in cigarettes is what makes them harmful.

Not really, it's moreso igniting all the extra chemicals that are added in that are harmful. Straight tobacco cigarettes aren't necessarily bad for you.

That's exactly my point. I was referring to the chemicals, not the tobacco itself.

 

 

Im a normal smoker, and ive been looking up to start vapeing instead. Any good starters to point out, there is so many stuff out there its like looking for a needlde in a hay stack!

Get a ego starter pack, it's really cheap.

I love that this thread is all about which bad thing is the most bad for you.    I mean come on.  

 

Vaping has turned itself into a joke, and it's laughable just like the gadgets people use and maintain as a "hobby" to facilitate their habit.

I hate to break it to you folks, but insurance companies in the USA still consider it smoking. I know this from first-hand experience.

I'm addicted to nicotine, I'll freely admit it. But that being said, I'd rather NOT have carcinogenic substances in my body. Nicotine does almost nothing beyond higher blood pressure.

 

But, news flash people, Nicotine has health benefits too.

The projects never end in my line of work.

You are correct.  A lot of people don't know how benign nicotine is to the body, especially in smaller doses.  

 

Regardless, let's see ya'lls gear! :D

Time for a Necro. Can we please not debate the health effects of vaping here? There are already several threads about it, this should just be for us enthusiasts to share information and show off our gear.

Will post more when I get my shipment of 550 feet of assorted wire in next month. Just got a new RTA, the Zephyrus V2. Running basically the same thing as the picture above in single coil mode. So much more airflow than my Kanger Subtank Mini and my RDA.

 

Right now, using an eLeaf iStick 50w. Just bought a Wismec Reuleaux RX200 though. Batteries for it coming tomorrow. Can't wait to try dual coil builds.

GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Isn't vaping like really harmful?

 

Just a question

Depends.  So far we have this: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/501875-some-e-cigarette-flavors-contain-chemical-linked-to-popcorn-lung-disease/

But perhaps in time, there will be more like it

Solve your own audio issues  |  First Steps with RPi 3  |  Humidity & Condensation  |  Sleep & Hibernation  |  Overclocking RAM  |  Making Backups  |  Displays  |  4K / 8K / 16K / etc.  |  Do I need 80+ Platinum?

If you can read this you're using the wrong theme.  You can change it at the bottom.
