  • Why the States’ bad deals with tobacco are bad for vaping

    Recently ProPublica published an extensive article about their investigations into the U.S. states and how they’ve used the money from tobacco settlements. Turns out, not so good. Too many states entered “it’s my money and I want it now” type deals with Wall Street think that the tobacco money would be as steady source of…

  • Wal-Mart sells vaping products; why this is a good thing

    First let’s get this out of the way. In the interest of transparency I am not adverse to selling out but this is a non-sponsored post. Since I’m poor I have to shop at Wal-Mart to help get by. It’s not new that they sell e-cigs but imagine my surprise when I see that they’re…

  • Government backed study shows benefits of vaping but does it matter?

    In a study that was partially funded by the U.S. National Institutes of Health researchers have said that the benefits of vaping outweigh the risks. “Current evidence suggests that there is a potential for smokers to reduce their health risks if electronic cigarettes are used in place of tobacco cigarettes and are considered a step…

  • In favor of flavors

    As I’m sure most of you know one of the big arguments against vaping and e-cigs is some of the sweeter flavors that they come in. A lot of people are convinced that flavors like cotton candy, that they always mention. will draw kids into vaping which will then lead to smoking. I know that…

  • TSA cool with vaporizers, except one for obvious reasons

    On their Instagram account the TSA recently said that vaporizers and e-cigs are ok to travel with. Unless you’re a moron who thinks it’s ok to go through airport security with a mod that looks like this. I don’t know if the manufacturers of that mod intended it to look like a grenade, but it…

  • What does the American Cancer Society have against vaping?

    I’m reading this article about how Missouri is getting ready to pass age restrictions on vaping and e-cigarettes. Nothing new really. The same old under 18 ban. As we keep saying most vendors won’t sell to anyone under 18 anyway but a law doesn’t really hurt. What really caught my eye about this article was…

    United States Senator Charles Schumer from the Blommbergist Commonwealth of New York has never been one to shy away from over-regulation. So it should come as no surprise that Chuck wants to require all nicotine e-juices to come with childproof caps. According to the article calls to New York state poison control went up from…

  • Trench’s bad vaping experience

    Before we even get started I just want to come out and say I still support vaping and still believe it is the most effective way to quit smoking. However… Even though I play a calm and cool suave and debonair character on the internet it couldn’t be further from the truth in real life.…

  • Is a lighter more effective than vaping?

    I found this article from financial site Motley Fool that’s headlined “Is This the Next Looming Threat to E-Cigs?”. It talks about this device that’s a combination of a timer and lighter called Quitbit. Sounds great in theory however in my opinion it’s doomed to fail. Back in the early 2000s I ordered this device…
