Australians seems to get some of the sweetest rides. We don't have Nissans like that here. It's probably a similar platform, but as soon as anyone releases a 4x4 here, they gussy it up like a $5 whore.

Good idea. Photo of the restored car?

About two years ago, I'm sitting in this bar in D.C., kind of near L'enfant if memory serves. I'm drinking some nameless booze, water and beer, and this woman walks in, absolute knockout, the kind of woman you can't unsee, California Dime. She sits at the bar, orders the happy hour oyster...

How is the no-nico train treating you? I'm down to about a pack every other month, and I tend to give away about half of those. I've noticed it's easier when I go to bed a little earlier, get a little extra rest. I bought a pack two weeks ago, haven't taken off the wrapper yet. That pack is...

I think it's worse too. The big problem with vape is that you can do it anywhere; in bed, in an elevator, in your new car. It becomes this weird furtive addiction that isn't social. At least with a pack of ciggerbuddies, you can share one with a new friend, have a conversation while the little...

I kinda like lung oysters, I don't know why. You know, you're sitting in a meeting, you really can't offend your guests by hawking a loogie into the trash can, everyone is looking at whatever bullshit is on the overhead projector. So you give a discreet little cough, and then bingo, you have a...

Douche flutes! But that vapor, it's thick and cool and it curls through the air in perfect high-Stokes turbulence. It's everything that smoke wants to be. It doesn't screw up the taste of gin or whisky the way the hot stuff does. If luxuriating in cool vape makes me a douche, then batten down...

I thought that the energy needed is too low to actually combust anything, but again, I still don't know enough about this. When I combust a little oil, say on the stove, it leaves a heavy, noticeable smell. But the oil vapor off of the vape pen isn't even detectable once it dissipates. It seems...

Tomato, tomahto. There has to be heat involved because of the latent heat of vaporization, from the bulk liquid to the vapor. If that's made with piezo or a heating wick, the efficiency is limited by the thermodynamics of the surface energy. I know that some atomizers use piezo because I've...

I'm willing to learn here, I don't know much about it. I thought that with vape, the main agent is the vegetable oil with a little bit of propylene glycol, both FDA GRAS. Then the active agents (i.e. Nicotine, caffeine, flavoring, medication) is added in trace amounts, like micrograms. So I...

It was rude to ask someone not to smoke near kids in the hospital waiting room. Just yesterday, my son and I were sitting outside on a ledge throwing rocks down a hill, and a guy sat down a good  thirty feet away, and before lighting up, he asked me "okay if I smoke?" I didn't even comprehend it...

I've noticed with vaping that is is addictive in a different way than smoking. With ciggerbuddies, you have to find the time, the place, get away from your desk, or your home, light up, make a moment out of it. That's almost kind of good in a way, it's a moment away from life. But with vape...

I think that we all have our own personal kryptonites ... smoking, drinking, sex, overeating, caffeine, television, gambling, internet, drugs. Yeah, we can kick some addictions, others aren't so easy. I don't know anyone who isn't addicted to something, except for a few very old people...

Quinine ... ahhh. I wonder if I can get that high dose quinine here, I love the way it makes me feel. I even drink plain tonic water without the gin lots of times because I crave the quinine.

Understatement of the decade, nicotine is like the fingers of heaven massaging the cerebral cortex. I assumed it's harmful though. I don't understand all of this.

Congratulations on your year. So you regularly vape non-nicotine juice? When the health insurance or life insurance company asks if you're a "smoker" I assume that non-nicotine vape juice doesn't count, right? I've found that the no-nicotine caffeine vapor is really satisfying, can I really...

Smoking a primal joy. Breaking oneself of the habit that offers such a simple pleasure to life requires extreme measures for some of us. It sounds like you had an easy time quitting to play soccer and sail, not everyone is able to do it as easily as you.

How are you coming with this? The local vape place on Evans and Hampden (Yuphorix?) sells zero-nicotine vape juice, and the pens are pretty advanced now, they can even do vape juice with caffeine or with melatonin. It got me interested, how do the lungs handle the vapor? Does that oily stuff...

You guys who went cold turkey, how long before you stop thinking of a ciggerbuddy as the first stop on the Stress Express? I barely smoke anymore, but I constantly, constantly, constantly think about them when work starts getting stressful. It feels like that desire is never going to go away...

I get a little envious of people who can quit cold turkey, it seems eventually they just reach the point where they no longer even think about tobacco. I think about it all the time, it's a constant struggle, every time things get stressful. I sometimes wonder what would fill up my thinking...
