Electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) started going on sale in 2003. Recently, they have seen increased demand for use as a smoking cessation device that delivers nicotine in a less harmful way. As of 2016, over 500 brands of e-cigarettes are available, generating over $10 billion in sales. While e-cigarettes (also known as “vapes”) have made a
The vaping industry is fighting for its very survival in a multi-front war against various groups that would, on the surface, seem like unlikely allies: Democrat politicians, tobacco companies, pharmaceutical companies, and state governments. This bizarre alliance is an example of what Jonathan H. Adler of Case Western Reserve University School of Law calls a
As the public increasingly become aware of the health risks and costs involved in smoking cigarettes, many smokers are switching over to e-cigarettes. The health risks of cigarette smoking have been well-publicized by governments for decades, with the U.S Surgeon General having issued a report on the risks back in 1964. Nowadays, all cigarette packages

The moment we’ve all been dreading finally arrived. The recently passed FDA regulations have been set in stone (barring a miracle from Congress), and we officially know when the Vapepocalypse (or Vapeageddon, whichever you want to call it) is set to take place: 2018. That’s when the new FDA deeming rule will ban any products that don’t
We all know that regulated box mods are all the rage these days. With their fancy schmancy temperature control, variable wattage, variable voltage, safety features, and LCD screens it’s obvious that they were destined to become the most popular type of vape out there. But you know what? If a regulated box mod is your
If you have made the switch to e-cigs from smoking cigarettes, then you would know by now that e-juices come in a wide variety of flavors. The flavors you will find being sold to e-cig enthusiasts include fruity flavors, minty ones, and even dessert ones. The choices are virtually endless, and choosing the kind to
Like any new trend, vaping has had to endure its share of battles in the gladiator pit known as public opinion, but in spite of everything, vaping might actually be the answer that health officials and governments have been looking for to help reduce the number of cancer-related deaths caused by tobacco products each
I’ve noticed something interesting when reading articles about people who want to ban vaping. It seems like their arguments are eerily similar to the arguments that anti-gun politicians have been using for ages (in fact, anti-vape politicians and anti-gun politicians are usually the exact same people). For starters, they both tend to talk with a
We know that most of our audience at this point are advanced vape nerds, but this article is not for you. It’s for the influx of newbies that tend to show up in the vaping community at the beginning of every year, aka the New Year’s resolutioners. I don’t want to read all of this.
Don’t bitch at online vendors and ask for refunds/free shit when your package gets delayed by USPS I know that this seems like a crazy concept in this age of instant entitlement, but Christmas is NOT your special day, it’s actually a holiday that is celebrated by over a billion people around the world. That

Choosing the right e-juice bottle and label is a vital step to ensuring your e-liquid stands out to consumers on vape store shelves. It’s all about finding the perfect marriage of functionality, legality, and
I’m sure you’ve heard the stories from your grandma on Facebook about how you’re going to get Bronchiolitis obliterans aka “Popcorn Lung” and die a horrible death from vaping. The study that reached the conclusion that diacetyl was found in 75% of e-cigarette flavors was published in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives and has spawned an abundance
Rep. Duncan Hunter has long been one of the biggest supporters of vaping rights in a Congress full of anti-vapers, as proven when he co-sponsored HR 2058, an important piece of pro-vaping legislation. Today he took it up a notch when he published an eloquent defense of vaping in The Hill: “Yes, I vape. On
For the mechanical mod lover Lone Wulf Mechanical Mod Kit We first reviewed the Lone Wulf back in January, and we still haven’t found a mech mod that even comes close. This one is constructed in America and the quality/attention to detail put into the manufacture of this mod is obvious. Buy one quality mech
Stoptober is when smokers across the country (UK) kick the smoking habit for 28 days in October, whether that be from a using a nicotine patch or from using electronic cigarettes instead. Let’s have a look to see how effective Stoptober has proven to be in the past: 215000 Smokers Quit Smoking for Stoptober As
Whisky, wine, coffee, craft beer, cigars… That seems to me to be a pretty good list of stuff. And one of the things that they have in common, other than perhaps the fact that you wouldn’t give any of them to a five year old, is that it’s possible to be a ‘connoisseur’ in each
At a recent vaping event I spoke to a person who witnessed a guy get arrested and hauled off an airline after getting caught vaping in the restroom aboard the plane. While this event seems ridiculous and extreme, with more and more no vaping signs going up, what can vapers do to calm the nicotine cravings when you can’t vape?
As an article from the Wall Street Journal recently pointed out, vaping is on a potentially perilous collision course with a litany of regulations that threaten to completely shut it down. The most notable threat, of course, is the potential upcoming FDA regulations. These regulations may be released as soon as this summer. However, a much
