Even without the god-awful flavor ban, affecting many states here in the US, regulations drove so many retailers and manufacturers out of business. It's like there are a certain number of people that will always see simple e-liquids, atomizers and mods, as a threat of some kind, while millions continue to die globally by smoking cigarettes. You [...]
Politics of Vaping and the Fall of the Free World - Right down to the core of my being I know, I KNOW, these are the last days of modern civilization. “The end is nigh”.

Because I’ve been vaping for 8 years now, I’ve pretty much settled into a select few e-liquid flavors I buy over and over again. Certain brands and certain flavors that I trust, that have stayed the same as to their flavor and vapor consistency, sit in abundance in Kiera’s and my e-Juice Cabinet. But, truth [...]
The first time I vaped an eJuice that contained mango fruit flavoring I hated it.

SMOKTech Is Killin’ It, is it wrong to say that? As a reviewer/commentator for an online magazine dedicated to disseminating ‘as near to ‘objective’ truth as possible’ on new vape gear and eliquids, is it wrong to single out a manufacturer that continues to impress me repeatedly? Is this bias on my part, or does [...]
Aesthetics of Vaping Part 2 The Golden Rainbow My last column on vaping aesthetics has been the most read column I’ve written in 5+ years. When Dave showed me the number I was shocked. Happy, yes, but shocked as well. I had no idea that there were so many other vapers out there that are interested [...]

The Ever Expanding Counterfeit 18650 Battery Market Are you using bad fake 18650’s or good fake 18650’s? There is no such thing as a ‘definitive’ article on avoiding counterfeit 18650 batteries. Hell, there is no definitive article on what to look for, much less how to avoid them. Sadly, there is too much money involved in fake [...]

Sub-Ohm Tanks - Vaping with Julia Column Over the past couple of weeks, you may have noticed more reviews for sub-ohm tanks than usual.
