I received Forte from Black Note for the purpose of this review. Black Note also contributed an article to my blog if you want to learn more about their tobacco e-juices.
Description: Rich and smooth Burley tobacco. Cultivated in volcanic Italian soil, the tobacco is sun-ripened, shade-cooled and bursting with full-bodied flavor.
A while ago I did a review of the NJOY Convenient System, which is basically NJOY’s vape pen kit and it’s one of my most popular videos ever. I think it’s because it’s a beginner setup that’s extremely accessible since you can find it a Walgreens and 7-Eleven.
In my original review, I mentioned that other people online have said that they’ve been able to take the pre-filled cartridge apart and refill it. I’ve tried many times to get it apart with no luck, but this weekend, I was determined to do it, even if I had to break one to see how it was put together. And I’m happy to say that I figured it out and have now done it on three tanks.
So let’s take a look.
I want to start by saying that I’m not an expert on metal work. Far from it. I’m not much of an expert on any sort of handy work actually. I usually fix things around the house my jamming paper towels into them. 😉
But over the weekend, I decided to remove the paint from one of my atomizers, which was chipping paint really bad – the CSMNT RDA. First, I want you to know that this is a clone CSMNT. I don’t want anyone to think that the authentic CSMNT has bad paint.
One of my listeners, Dave, sent me an email telling me about a sale on Jvapes.com for Igo W Plus RDA’s for only $1. He knows that I like to do old school vape reviews so he thought I might be interested, which I was.
I had planned on buying one to do a review but Dave emailed me back a couple days later telling me that basically, they weren’t very good and that he would send me a couple. I said hell yeah, so now let’s take a look.
This new study was performed by a bunch of research groups from several universities, such as Georgetown University, The University of Michigan, Yale University and some health organizations like VicHealth Centre for Tobacco Control, The Roswell Park Cancer Institute, and even the Truth Initiative.
If you’re familiar with some of those names and where this study was published, you’re probably as surprised as I am that this is a positive study. BMJ’s Tobacco Control is notorious for publishing anti-vaping studies and groups like the Truth Initiative have been fairly anti-vaping too. So this is really surprising.
But let’s get into the study.
The London Fire Brigade just recently published a blog post announcing that they welcome Public Health England’s support for electronic cigarettes as a method to help smokers quit smoking and to help prevent smoking-related fire deaths.
This was sent to me for the purpose of review by LYX Vapors.
They sent me Doc Holiday, which is a from their Classic e-juice line, which I believe is designed for beginner vapers. Doc Holiday is a traditional tobacco. It’s a 70VG/30PG e-juice and comes in 0, 3, and 6mg nicotine.
There’s a company in the U.K. marketing a vape device called the Slissie as a method to curb snacking habits by using it as an aid for losing weight.
The company’s website specifically says that the Slissie is “vapour-free.” Instead of vapor, they say users receive a “mist” of appetite-suppressing flavor.
I’ve mentioned this a couple of times before but if you don’t know, I was a vegan. Not one of those PETA nutcases, but I was a devoted vegan for nearly 3 years. It was entirely for ethical reasons, not health reasons. I’m not going to go into why I’m not vegan anymore, but I still care a lot for animals.
One thing that being vegan taught me was to have a deep respect for all life. Life is a precious thing, for all living things, and we shouldn’t take it for granted. Even today, I still practice some vegan philosophies, for example, I try to buy most products from companies that don’t test on animals.
And that’s why this latest announcement from the FDA makes me happy.
