Major CDC Survey Suggests That Vaping Is NOT a Gateway to Smoking
For years, opponents of electronic cigarettes have been screaming from the top of their lungs that vaping was renormalizing smoking and acting as a gateway to tobacco cigarettes for youth. There were even a number of controversial studies and surveys that suggested the same, but, according to a national survey conducted by the CDC, the number of teen smokers continues to drop, despite the rise of electronic cigarettes.
French Study Shows That E-cigarettes Help Smokers Cut Down on Tobacco Cigarettes
Public Health France recently published an observational study which shows that using electronic cigarettes can help smokers decrease their daily intake of tobacco cigarettes by more than half.

Vandy Vape Pulse 22 BF RDA Review
As the name suggests, the Pulse 22 BF RDA from Vandy Vape is a 22 mm RDA primarily designed with squonkers in mind. The BF stands for "bottom feeding", in case you haven't figured it out, so the Pulse is mainly meant to be used with squonk mods, which feed juice into the atomizer through a hollow connection pin. It works just as well in dripping mode, but it's the squonking functionality that really makes this atomizer stand out from the hundreds of other RDAs. If you're reading this...
Sigelei Kaos Spectrum Review
The Sigelei Kaos Spectrum is a slick dual-battery device capable of firing at up to 230W. It also comes with a 2.5A fast charging feature, a nice-looking color LED display and a very interesting screen layout. But the one thing that helps this mod stand out from its many competitors is the bright customizable LED light show. The plastic ring around the screen lights up in different colors when you vape, so if you're looking to draw attention to yourself, this is just the thing.
Oumier Maximus Max RDTA Review
The Oumier Maximus Max is a 24-mm RDTA featuring adjustable airflow control, a square Velocity-style build deck and an ingenious top-filling system. But the thing that really caught my attention was the price of this atomizer. It costs under $20, which is pretty sweet for an advanced RDTA. I would even say suspiciously sweet, so let's try this thing out and see if it's as good as it looks on paper. I had never tried any Oumier products prior to this review. I figured they must be a new...
Jam Monster E-Liquid Review
Jam Monster is one of the most popular e-liquid lines on the market these days. People just can't stop talking about it, virtually every vape shop is carrying at least one of their three flavors, so I've been wanting to get my hands on this stuff for a while. Luckily, the guys at Vapor4Life recently offered to send me the entire line for review, so I was able to vape these juices for about a week, to really get a good idea about what makes them so darn popular. Before we talk...
GeekVape Peerless RDA (Special Edition) Review
The special edition Peerless RDA is an enhanced version of the original Peerless, which GeekVape released just a few months ago. The aluminum body has now been replaced with one made of stainless steel, the acrylic top cap has been swapped out for a metal one with a Goon-style drip tip and the paint job has been improved as well. At the same time, Geekvape kept all the features that made the Peerless special, including the 9mm-deep juice wells, and the split-post versatile build deck. The price...
