Now I got to book our tours and purchase tickets for Tokyo Disneyland...

Katherine Heigl uses an Electronic Cigarette with David Letterman

Positive press for e-cigs?  A few days ago I hated Katherine Heigl.  Now I love her.

V3 Tonic and Essence

Well, I did the deed.  I finally ordered a V3 from PureSmoker along with a few tonic juices that I've tried in the past (thanks Grimm).  I'm super stoked to get to vape on a V3 after reading and watching all the reviews and getting to fondle one at the NorCal vape meet.

I also ordered a handful of Essence (essence) juice from eliquidplanet.  I actually won a bottle of Clove and Strawberry Fields about a month ago but they never showed up...It's all good though, it was through a 3rd party and vapefest was right around the corner so I'm sure that's why I got overlooked.  I'm really excited to finally get to try these flavors out but at the same time I'm worried that if I fall in love with them, I'll be spending a ton on new flavors (these are premium juices and not cheap).

I'm not abandoning my good friends The Mako and Tasty Vapor by any means.  I just wanted a dedicated high voltage device and felt the need to share the love with some other juice vendors.

FDA takes next steps in trying to ban e-cigs

This morning the FDA issued warnings to 5 distributors of e-cigs and e-juice.

Press release here.

The "unsubstantiated claims" the FDA says the sites make are user/customer testimonials.  As far as I know, none of these sites are marketing these as a smoking cessation device or tool.  Granted, one of the sites is selling a vapable erectile dysfunction drug and that's NOT cool, but why take away the ability for me improve MY health by laying the groundwork to ban all e-cigarette products?  

The FDA would rather I give my money to big tobacco (cigarettes) and big pharma (patches, gum, which DO NOT WORK) then use a device that has helped me PERSONALLY decrease the number of toxins I take into my body.

I have been vaping (almost exclusively) since March, 2010.  My health has significantly improved.  I am still addicted to nicotine.  I've also cut about 4000 known dangerous toxins out of my nicotine usage.
