Vaping in 2022 and beyond
This is the current state of my desk. I know. It’s a mess. But as a messy guy by nature, I can’t say that I’m surprised. Unfortunately, the state of my desk also metaphorically reflects the state of my mind – of how this blog has evolved (or as old time readers may attest, has…

Looking back to look forward
I have been vaping for a reasonably long time, and if my blog archives are anything to go by, then October 2013 serves to be quite a reasonable – although not an entirely accurate – starting point. I wish I could go all boomer and start this second paragraph with the typical “things were much…

Review: CPZ Juice Co new range (Giveaway inside!)
Over the course of my 5-years plus in vaping, it’s safe to say that I’ve vaped my fair share of eliquids.
