Reaffirmation – New Study Shows that E-Cigarettes, Unlike Real Ones, Do Not Adversely Affect Acute Heart Function
Although I think Doctor Farsalinos already proved this, here is another article pointing out his study yet again in case you didn’t get it the first time. 🙂
A notable quote:
Given that abundant evidence, it is inappropriate for many anti-smoking advocates and groups to continue to tell the public that we don’t yet know whether vaping is safer than smoking.
New Study Shows that E-Cigarettes, Unlike Real Ones, Do Not Adversely Affect Acute Heart Function
G-What?
I know nothing about this wire other than the fact people are concerned and asking me about it. This is one of the reasons I don’t jump onto the latest trend for the sake of jumping onto the latest trend. 🙂 I’ll continue to stick to my Kanthal…
If I hear more, I’ll post it.
G-Plat Public Announcement:
As all of you are aware, there have been some concerns that have been brought to our attention in regards to the composition and safety of G-Plat wires. We have spoken to the metallurgist at the facility in which our wires are being prepared and he has given us some insight regarding the “Manganese” content of G-Plat wires. Manganese has no part in the actual composition of both our V1.2 and Elite versions of G-Plat. However, during the manufacturing process, the wire is exposed to Manganese indirectly due to other types of wires containing Manganese being produced within the same facility.
Although it may seem as if a member of the G-Plat team issued a WARNING about the use of G-Plat wires, the conversation has been misinterpreted to make it seem as if G-Plat wires are a health risk. Our team member, knowing that our wires may have been exposed to trace amounts of Manganese, was only trying to look out for the best interest of an individual that stated he was allergic to the substance. With that being said, we would like to apologize for the delay in providing the information that the vaping community has been requesting. We are currently waiting on our metallurgist to provide us with the most accurate information about the wires (i.e. although Manganese is listed on the MSDS, it is not part of the actual composition of G-Plat wire). The information will be disclosed to the vaping industry no later than tomorrow evening.
We appreciate those of you who believe in our product and continue to stand behind us as we overcome this obstacle!
Regards,
Mark Vape, Melmie Lincod & G-Plat Team

The Post Review Follow-Up:
- 7/23/14 – Switch Issue found in video 2 below. This is an unfortunate issue for me as I’ve been a fan of the Radix since I received it. However, it’s what I do, and if it’s happening to me, it could potentially happen to you. Hopefully this issue is limited to my own. If it’s not, perhaps Carbon Method can find a solution or a replacement switch. See the second video below.
- 8/6/14 – Radix responds to the switch issue. This makes me happy. Check out the beginning of video 3 below.

TMA (Tobacco Merchants Association) VIDEOS ARE UP
The TMA annual conference was 4 days of worldwide experts and around 85% of them presenting on e-cigs. Those presentations were all video recorded and are now posted for public viewing.
If you go to this page, then click on “view details” for aech/any day, you see the speaker agenda. At each segment, there is a camera icon to click and watch the video recording of that segment.
I haven’t had a chance to look at many of these, but I’ve heard some are very much worth watching. Thank you Lou Ritter for the heads up!

URGENT ALERT for New York vapers: E-liquid ban has passed the Senate, moves on to the Assembly
This is an important Tweet from Gregory Conley.
And for the record, I hate that this site has had a fair amount of activism and CTAs on it recently as it was never designed for that reason, but the shit is getting real folks and I’m going to do my best to keep you aware of the big issues and CTAs.
Please read THIS, then ACT and SHARE!

NEW ELEAF PROTOTYPE ATOMIZER DISTRIBUTED BY JOYETECH USA
Guess I called it when I said, in the eVic Supreme video, that perhaps one of the reasons the 510 connector came out was because of hybrid possibilities.
Didn’t take long!
I was handed this prototype by Joyetech USA in Miami. Sure enough, take the 510 connector off of it, and the top ring and 510 connector off of the eVic … a hybrid!
Very clearly based on the Kayfun design with a few small differences. Those differences are going to make filling it a pain in the buttocks as you may HAVE to use the fill hole on the bottom, which will require a screwdriver, something I’m not a fan off. NO TOOLS PLEASE!
Unlike the Kayfun in which the top cap screws onto the rest of the body, this design holds the glass in place by the top cap screwing onto the top of the chimney, so as soon as you remove the top cap, the glass is just sitting on the bottom o-ring with nothing holding it in place. One wrong move… JUICETASTROPHY!
It’s got an interesting build in found in this one and at a surprising .6 ohms One that, if it performs the same way my vertical build did in the Kayfun, I won’t be happy with, but Ill give it a shot.
