I think that most of the problem lies with the anti smoking lobby have spent the best part of three decades blaming nicotine as addictive, the total cause of all smoking related illness and therefore totally evil and the menace to be eradicated, that the fact that it is the smoke, tar and chemical additives to tobacco are the harmful ingredients is totally lost on people, smokers themselves included, that as soon as someone says that they can get their nicotine in a safe way the ANTIZ's throw their hands up in the air and start screaming.
So much for me keeping quiet.

Why are stupid people the most outspoken? Empty pitchers... I think I'd better shut up. |

Ah America. A nation born of revolution, home of the brave, and land of the free, that has the worlds highest percentage of population incarcerated, practice state sponsored revenge killing with a rabid enthusiasm, make your ears bleed with their continual espousal of freedom of speech, the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, government for the people by the people. And then they go and do something like this.

Option two I'd say, seems like great fun, I've ordered a couple of starter kits and can't wait to give it a go.

I think it's the other half of her face, you can see it from the side and the front simultaneously... It is, that was a trademark of his. It's a technique that is used today in CGI, so next time you see stunning special effects on the TV or the flicks, think Picasso. |

I always hated Picasso until I saw Guernica in Madrid - I'm now a convert Same goes for Van Gogh, as it happens. The real thing is far more powerful than any photograph. But then I am an arty type  I saw an exhibition of all the preparatory work he did for Guernica it was fascinating to see the progression of ideas from simple thumbnail sketches and sketch books to full blown drawings and brush sketches as big as the actual painting itself, some even bigger. You're dead right about seeing the real thing. A few years ago I went to the National Gallery just after they had restored all their Van Gogh's and re-hung them, the sheer intensity and brilliance of the colours was fantastic, no photograph could ever capture that. I suppose that art is a bit like e-juice, every one's taste is different, some you'll all agree on, some you won't, but there's something for everyone. |

...And it really does not help when images promoting the use of e-cigs and vaping kit depict users of such enveloped in clouds of vapour, which is indistinguishable from cigarette smoke in a photographic image, either moving or still. All it is doing is giving the @r$h0l3$ that want ban/regulate/control vaping a negative visual reference to use to further their cause.
Just my Twopenneth
Rant over.

Let us know how you get on. I'm on the lookout for another mod. Is it vw as well? How big is it compared to the vamo? Cheers Chris. Hello Chris. No, it's not vw, I don't have a Vamo so I can't answer your second question. I got about 9 hours steady vaping with a 2.5ml clearomiser at a 4.5v setting and only used half the charge on the battery. This is my first proper vape kit outside if cig-alikes and I'm delighted with it. |

I do a mix of stealth vaping and openly vaping in safe areas, if I do get asked what I'm doing I shall tell them that I've been asked to trial a new type of inhaler.

Hi Gasper and thank you for sharing your story. It's interesting to know that vaping did not affect the recovery of your lung too. I know it shouldn't, but it's still reassuring to hear it from the horses mouth so to speak. Did you tell the hospital you had switched to vaping? I didn't tell them outright, but I had mentioned it at an earlier appointment when I was using the disposable and specialist thought it was a good idea, said it was a lot better than inhaling smoke. |
