TEMPERATURE CONTROL POLL CLOSED – FINAL RESULTS

Here are the final results from the temperature control poll.

Sorry for the issues with voting.

Now, of course, this is a small sample set and there is a large margin of error here. I would imagine the poll was answered mostly by enthusiasts and potentially my  “more conservative” viewing audience. I would imagine the majority “just want to vape”.

But I think this also tells a story.  Based on this poll and some of the video’s comments I read… the story that temperature control is being used and that it needs to be made more accurate and easier to deal with.

From Gregory Conley / AVA

A big THANK YOU to SEVIA-USA, Innokin Technology, Dimitris Agrafiotis, and Phil Busardo for helping provide AVA with 100 starter kits and 100 bottles of e-liquid…

 

I’m happy to report that the kits (minus ten that I’ll be using to convert smokers when I’m on the road) have been mailed to Helen Redmond, a New York City social worker and harm reduction advocate.

Smoking remains a huge problem in the community she serves and I know she’ll be putting these kits to good use.

Expect more updates in the future.

NEW FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Stained Legacy | San Francisco Abandons Principles w. E-Cig Flavor Ban

Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:

In a single vote political leaders in San Francisco tarnished the city’s hard-fought reputation for compassion and caring. In late June, San Francisco Board of Supervisors hurried through new regulation banning all flavors in e-juice, with the exception of tobacco flavors. It appeared to be a callous act.

Numerous appeals were made by those seeking to remind the Board of Supervisors, of San Francisco’s historic legacy of progressive action and commitment to the principles of Harm Reduction.

Why did the message fail to get through?

Join our discussion with Damon L. Jacobs, psychotherapist and one of the country’s most influential voices in HIV/AIDS prevention. Jacobs is a harm reduction specialist with deep ties to San Francisco’s activist community.

Did San Francisco abandon its principles? Find out—only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

Posted in Success Stories

From Randy

I want to thank you for your informational site. I have spent hours
watching your videos. The knowledge my wife and I have gained from your site is
probably responsible for our success with vaping. We quickly found vaping is not a
“one size fits all” deal. Pack a day smokers. Bought 2 Icare 160’s. Vape stores have
vast knowledge of product, but don’t really explain how to smoke them. We were both
trying to go direct to the lung, and had no consistency in puffs. I watched many of
your videos and realized if you take a few “priming” puffs before the inhaled puff,
it works great. I’m vaping 6.0 nicotine, 50/50 pg/vg, smooth tobacco. My wife did
not like the 160. The gurgling and spitting bothered her. She now has an Aspire
Breeze, vaping 4.5 nicotine, 30/70 pg/vg smooth tobacco. We are both quite satisfied
now. There is so much to learn. The 160 does gurgle and spit. I found that filling
the tank only 3/4 and using the priming puff method, it almost eliminates this
problem. Patience, research, and practice seem to be the keys to successful vaping.
Your site has served as an important source of info to us,
Randy
