No idea. Humans are much bigger than dogs and have a higher tolerance to foreign substances though I guess. That's why you can't give a dog chocolate (supposedly) Nevertheless, die it did, and not reported by some anti-ecig person, but a vaper. Well its a good job I have never been a Dog owner then..........Maybe I'm to dogs what tobacco is to E-Cigs ? I'm more of a cat person myself. BTW considered coming to the WY vapemeet this Sat?

I think the balance was in the cancer sufferer promoting ecigs, no?

It was over on the Pit, one of the members had a pedigree puppy, very young, I think it could have been a Pug. Ate a 10ml bottle, and unfortunately was dead in I think 4 hours. Maybe wrong on this but didn't Dave Dorn drink a 24mg bottle of Eliquid on VTTV the other week ? He is still here to tell the tale.......... No idea.

Yep, and if they were doing a documentary on cars, I'd expect them to include something on car accidents, brakes failing etc, and road safety You need a licence (and now some basic knowledge about cars as well) to drive legally. You don't need one to buy an ecig. All I'm saying is your stance may be correct now, but this was 2010? It's not beyond the realms of all possibility that someone used essential oils to flavour their liquid. You don't need to have a license to buy a car though or sell one Perhaps everyone selling cars should be licensed? In fact you get more hassle from a shop when you buy a tv asking if you have a tv license than you do when buying a car from a dealer. I also mentioned that the unfortunate incident where the guy died was a long time ago when knowledge was much less than we have now. Again, that would have been something worth mentioning in the programme, although they did say it's the only death they could find that has been linked to e-cigs. My point is, they could have included much more, it was tit for tat, they/he has to include a balanced view. Putting accross one side only would maybe cut the viewers by half. I agree, they could have done with mentioning that knowledge has greater availability now. But still, that wouldn't make very good TV would it? Much better to sensationalise both sides. I think anyone who believed that there would be an in depth analysis in half an hour was kidding themselves. No one I know isn't still learning when it comes to vaping. And we've been doing it longer than they've been studying it. 2010 isn't really a long time ago. (I'm going to be ruthless here) You die tomorrow, how long do you expect people to remember you? Less than 4 years?

My response to that djs would be "And no one has died from smoking?"

ukric anything can be dangerous if mishandled - driving a car for starters. Yep, and if they were doing a documentary on cars, I'd expect them to include something on car accidents, brakes failing etc, and road safety You need a licence (and now some basic knowledge about cars as well) to drive legally.

All I'm going to do & say is state some facts for anyone new reading this thread.- 1st - The producers & researchers of The Rise Of The E-Cigarette, "Tonight" program needs sacking. That diagram was a disgrace & showed how little research they did & made a farce of the whole show secondly - THERE IS NO OIL IN E-CIGARETTES!!!!!!!!Thirdly - I've been vaping for over 5 years - no ill health side effects just tons of positive ones! Come on now Chrissie (and please, I say this with the greatest respect) In the early days of vaping people mixing their own were playing on a wing and a prayer. There was information, but much pioneering. It's easy to take this for granted now. Essential oils have been used in the past by people who have mixed their own and haven't been aware. We don't know, but it's not inconcievable that it could well be true. That case was from 2010? we're 4 years on, China is producing a new CE4 every few weeks, there has been a lot of progression now, but again, it's not inconceivable. I know we all like to romanticise vaping. But to be fair, they didn't show.. the man who's brand new pedigree puppy died (the pit), they didn't show the kid from Isreal (I think) who died consuming eliquid (Facebook) and they didn't show the man whose ecig exploded in his face (USA, V3 somethingorother, mod). Vaping CAN be dangerous, but, if treated correctly it's (I believe) perfectly safe. But I believe they were right A graphic? come on, it's aimed at people who might not know anyway, so long as it shows the parts that's enough. Ill health, well, neither have I. But I'm 3 years in.. I smoked for longer, when I've vaped for 10 years I might absolutely agree. No one has done 10 years yet

I am going to be blunt. ANYTHING anyone here recommends will likely be better than what you have. Now I realise that being told you've wasted a bit of money is never right cracking, but since you're here the consolation is it's lead you in the right direction and you're unlikely to waste much more money. Some may disagree but that's just how I see it My recommendation... Ego and a CE4/5/6 to start off with, which should see you in good stead whilst you have a browse round and catch shineyitus.

Had an email saying one of the parcels has attempted delivery twice and is now being held at the depot.
Post code beginning WD18
Until I get home I can't check who this is (will do when I get home)
It needs to be collected from the depot by 23/01 or it gets returned to me
If this is yours can you arrange collection ASAP

Even in 100ml bottles this is 400. Is any of it custard??? You guys got me into custard, so it's your fault, any custard going spare bring it to gumption. It'd be 40 Erm, I think I have some custards, not really keen on any of them.

Get some Red Astaire concentrate from T-Juice, get some nicotine base in PG, buy some VG, use a mix calculator, sorted, lovely tasty vape

I got some Tjuice custard sent to me the other day. I've done a tank of it and all I can think is it's under concentrated. 15% flavour and it's just a bit tasteless. Maybe it's me not being a massive custard fan, but it's nowhere near the other t-juice flavours. In fact, it's the first T-Juice flavour that when I speak to people I'll be telling them it's not worth buying. EDIT - I say this having just bought 90ml concentrate of their other flavours
