Dr. Konstantinos Farsalinos is crowdfunding an important new research project.
The main goals of this research project are:
* Measure temperatures of evaporation under various puffing conditions (different wattage levels and puff duration).
* Determining puffing patterns which would result in less thermal load but maintain level of pleasure and vapor production.
* Determine the emission of potentially toxic chemicals in relation to the thermal load.
* Determine the development of dry-puff conditions, and how the temperature load is altered in dry-puff conditions.
* Evaluate all of the above utilizing numerous resistance levels and wicking materials.

COP-6: Twitterbombs and Thunderclaps

COP-6: Twitterbombs and Thunderclaps

14 hours ago
The idea is to get LOUD again. Obviously, we've been quiet for too long already.... that needs to be changed, and the upcoming COP6 event is a wonderful opportunity for us to make our voices heard again once more!

This time, we want the event to be worldwide -- as far as possible given all the different time zones ..... but we can always try, and only in *not trying* lies any defeat! :)

That said, here's the idea(s):

We will start twitter bombs on the 4 sunday evenings preceding the COP6 ... with the last sunday also being identical with the eve of the conference beginning.

As long as COP-6 has not started yet, we set the time to 21.30h Central European (summer) Time, which is 8.30 pm in the UK, 3:30 pm Eastern Standard Time (NYC, East Coast) and 12:30 (pm) Pacific Standard Time (L.A., Vancouver etc.) ...... I still need to look up the times for Australia and also will try to contact Australian vapers to join us simultaneously .... using twuffer.com/ to get their tweets out at the right time of day.

DURING the COP6 days we obviously have to adjust to Moscow time zone which is 2 hours ahead of CEsT and 3 hours ahead of GMsT. The first day will be Monday, 13th October ... and the last day will be Saturday, 18th October. For these days, we haven't made a final decision yet about the time of day when we want our tweets to appear. Please stay tuned to our Facebook page (link below).

For THESE 5 DAYS we will also prepare some Thunderclaps as a support for our live tweets. (They will still have to be created.) ... And I do hope that you all agree, that we will use our letter(s) to Chan on our website as the backlink ... (For those who don't know or don't remember: A thunderclap can be started for a CAUSE and therefore must be linked to a website which describes the cause. Hopefully, we will get out our second WHO letter within the next few days, so that we can link our Thunderclaps to this most recent letter!) :)

~~~~~~~~~

About the hashtags to use we are looking for highly original ones ... ones which have not been used before so we hopefully can get into the trends like we did last winter once in a while....

ONE tag is mandatory: #COP6 --- however we also need ppl to watch if and what WHO would use -- maybe they would write it like this ->COP-6 ... and if this is the case, we will OF COURSE use THEIR spelling.

The idea is to get OUR messages smuggled into theirs -- which is even more important than trending! :)

First Twitter Sunday will be September 21st, last Twitter Sunday is October 12th.

Elva Pote has already created a Facebook page and also started the event pages already (but isn't happy with the contents yet, therefore we haven't started promoting it big style on FB .. but that should start soon). Here's the link to our COP6-TB site: facebook.com/pages/COP6-TB/262722890588314?fref=ts

ANY HELP is WELCOME - be it creative or in logistics/planning!!! So far, Elva Pote and I have been doing the whole job alone....

5 Reasons Why E-cigs Are Better Than Normal Cigarettes

5 Reasons Why E-cigs Are Better Than Normal Cigarettes

There’s a lot of debate out there about e-cigarettes - are they healthy, are they dangerous? Ultimately, the electronic cigarette (e-cigarette) is the safer, healthier alternative to smoking traditional cigarettes. While they’re not 100% healthy and they still pose certain risks, there are several reasons why smokers should reach for an e-smoke instead of a regular one.

1. E-Cigarettes Can Be Smoked Indoors

If you often crave a smoke when you’re inside, you’re out of luck thanks to the smoking laws, which prevent smoking conventional cigarettes in public places. With the e-cigarette, though, you can still get your fix even without heading outside. Also, you won’t annoy people around you because e-cigarettes don’t smell like regular cigarettes. For the most part, places that ban smoking will allow e-cigarettes, but check regulations before “lighting up.”

2. E-Cigarettes Chemicals Don’t Burn

While there are certain chemicals in e-cigarettes, the main reason why e-cigarettes are healthier than regular cigarettes is because they don’t burn, which is where the real danger lies. While e-cigarettes do give off dangerous chemicals, they’re just a fraction of the amount you’d get from a cigarette. Also, since there’s nothing to actually burn on an e-cigarette, you never have to worry about misplacing your matches or lighter again.

3. E-Cigarettes Are Reusable

There’s no two ways about it: it’s an expensive time to have a regular smoking habit. E-cigarettes aren’t cheap to invest in, but they are reusable, which means you don’t have to continually fork over $10 every couple of days to smoke. E-cigarettes are powered by battery, so as long as you remember to keep your battery charged (which shouldn't be a problem because you’re probably used to charging your phone, Kindle, Mac, etc.), you won’t have an issue. Many e-cigarettes are refillable as well, so when the liquid in one of the cartridges runs out, you only have to replace the cartridge, not the whole device.

4. E-Cigarettes Don’t Make Everything Stink

One of the biggest drawbacks to traditional cigarettes is their odor (along with all of the negative health consequences, of course). E-cigarettes, luckily, don’t smell at all! Regular cigarette smoke can stink up anything it comes in contact with, include your home, car, clothing, hair and breath. Most of the time, regular smokers don’t even realize how bad everything around them smells because they’re so used to it. E-cigarettes don’t have that telltale odor because nothing is being burned and also because the vapor that’s exhaled doesn’t have an odor and evaporates quickly.

5. E-Cigarettes Are the More Cost-Effective Choice

In most places, cigarette packs range from $7 to $12, partly because of inflation and also due to a raise in taxes. People who smoke a pack a day can spend as much as $300 or more just on cigarettes, not even taking into account lighters and other incidentals. The starter kit for an e-cigarette may be as much as $100, but besides that, they’re not nearly as big an investment as traditional cigarettes, even when you add in the cost for batteries and cartridges. Plus, e-cigs aren’t subject to the same taxes as regular cigarettes.

6. The FDA Says They’re the Healthier Choice

Part of the problem with e-cigarettes has been that they’re not regulated by the FDA, but that’s changing. The FDA not only realizes it has to regulate e-cigarettes, but they’ve also confirmed that e-cigarettes are less harmful than traditional cigarettes.

Saturday, July 19, 2014

Sweden has today announced that all forms of nicotine containing electronic cigarettes and vaping devices are to be considered medicinal products and thus have to go through that process. This means that at least 3 of the necessary EU countries have complete bans on electronic cigarettes freely available without going to the pharmacy. This means that the EU is free to enact a blanket ban across the entire EU.
