Vaping With Julia - Video eLiquid Reviews You’ve seen them on YouTube, no doubt, and you’ve probably watched a few, perhaps a few hundred. Video eLiquid Reviews… Do you like them?

Julia Hartley-Barnes Mushy Stuff (feel free to skip if your heart is made of ice) Ah, Romance. First of all I feel like I need to apologize to any readers that follow me on Twitter. I know I’ve been using my Spinfuel Twitter account (I don’t have a personal twitter account) to blast out #MarriedAtFirstSight tweets. If [...]
The Girl with the Dragon ProVari About 6 or 7 weeks ago (!) I saw a photo on Google Plus that showed the most beautiful Provari I’ve ever seen.

Vaping in July! When I left the home office of Spinfuel eMagazine to go back home and ramp up my stock photography business, which I had neglected terribly for more than a year, I thought my day-to-day “e-cigarette industry” exposure would die down drastically. In some ways I suppose that’s true, but in other, unexpected ways, [...]
Vaping with Julia continues! So much as happened this week that I don’t know if I can remember it all, but I’ll try. I guess the biggest news is that I asked K to marry me, she said yes, and now it’s on to planning a wedding for next April. We took the weekend to hang out [...]
