British non-profit Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) recently published the finding of its annual Smokefree GB survey into the use of electronic cigarettes in Great Britain, announcing that 2.9 million people currently use electronic cigarettes, 1.5 million of which no longer smoke. The research, conducted by YouGov on behalf of ASH, shows that the number of electronic cigarette...

CDC Report Shows That More Smokers Try to Quit with E-Cigarettes Than FDA-Approved Cessation Aids
U.S. health regulators continue to downplay the importance and effectiveness of electronic cigarettes as smoking cessation tools, but a recent report from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) clearly shows that smokers believe that they have a much better chance of quitting with e-cigs than with FDA-approved aids like nicotine patches and gum. Last Thursday, the CDC published a Read More...
London Fire Brigade Advises Smokers to Switch to Vaping to Reduce Risk of Fires
On April 7th, World Health Day, the London Fire Brigade (LFB) issued a press release advising cigarette smokers to switch to electronic cigarettes, if they can't quit nicotine completely, in order to minimize the risk of accidental fires. Over the last three years, the LFB has recorded over 3500 smoking related fires compared to only 14 incidents involving electronic cigarettes over the same period of time. That's over 255 times more blazes caused by smoking and the...

We didn't really need scientific research to reach this conclusion, but a study published in the journal Nicotine & Tobacco Research reveals that excessive regulations on electronic cigarettes may impact their effectiveness as a tool for quitting smoking. Study authors analyzed data from a longitudinal cohort survey carried out between 2010 and 2014, which...

SMOK T-Priv 220W Kit Review
The SMOK T-Priv is a dual-battery mod reminiscent of one of the Chinese manufacturer's most popular devices ever, the X Cube 2. It features the same style of firing bar and customizable LED sideshow only in a slightly more compact package, which makes it easier to hold and use even for users with small hands, like myself. The T-Priv also has a higher power output than the X Cube 2 - 220W compared to 180W - and much more impressive design, which appears to have been inspired by The...
GeekVape Medusa Reborn Review
The GeekVape Medusa Reborn, or Medusa v2, is being marketed as an RDTA, but some people, myself included, regarded more as an RDA with a really deep juice well that can hold up to 3.5 ml of e-liquid. The original Medusa had its share of fans, but it did have some design flaws that put off a lot of vapers that would have otherwise considered buying it, so GeekVape decided to put out an improved version that addresses most of the problems of their original atomizer. Is the Medusa Reborn worth...
iJoy Captain PD270 Review
It's not every day that I get to review a possible game-changer, so I was really excited to receive the new iJoy Captain PD270 for testing. This is a dual-battery mod that comes packed with the most advanced features available today, but what really sets it apart from other advanced mods is the fact that it supports 20700 batteries, as well as standard 18650 batteries. The new 20700 batteries are supposed to boost battery life significantly, and they may soon become the new standard in the...
SMOK TFV12 Tank Review
Following the massive success of its TFV4 and TFV8 sub-ohm tanks, SMOK decided to go even bigger and this year launched the mother of all cloud-chasing tanks, the SMOK TFV12 Cloud Beast King. I think the name pretty much says it all, but if this is you're unfamiliar with the TFV family of tanks, they are all about big clouds of vapor so dense that you can cut them with a knife. In this review, I'll basically try to find out what SMOK could have possibly done to make this better than the...
SMOK QBOX Kit Review
If you thought SMOK couldn't go any smaller than the AL85 and still be able to incorporate that gorgeous 0.96 inch display, you were wrong. The new SMOK QBOX is not only a lot smaller than anything the Chinese company has ever put out, but also than pretty much any other advanced mod I've ever used. This thing is so tiny and light that you can easily slide it into your small jeans pocket and forget all about it. But what really surprised me was that despite its limited size, the QBOX has all...
