The Ten Best Electronic Cigarette Blogs on the Web Today
I think one of the faults of this blog is that I don't link out enough. Which is a shame because there are some super bloggers out there providing great information on e-cigs - and the search engines don't always do a great job of sifting them out from all the rubbish out there.
So, partly to make up for that, I have selected my favourite blogs, all of which I read regularly, and all of which correspond to the following critiera:
- not wholly commercial (it can be commercial but must have some non-commercial content)
- is regularly updated (honourable exception made for Kate's Vaper's Network)
- has quality content
- exclusive or regular focus on vaping (with a bit of leeway for the scientist's blogs below)
Please share your own ideas in the comments section! Also, please take the time to visit, read and comment on the blogs below :)

Grimm Green is a fun blog, full of ever-changing and very cool graphics - as well as well-organised resources for vapers.

Although infrequently updated, this is a nice, relaxing video blog which feautures revews, often in the background of a walk in the English countryside. More recently there has also been a video summary of Vapefest 2011.
Scientists' Blogs
8. The Tobacco Harm Reduction Blog
A team of scientists blog about tobacco harm reductions, snus and electronic cigarettes. They don't blog as frequently as they used to, but when they do they are full of thoughtful insights - and cutting remarks on the Antz.

Everyone interested in vaping, tobacco and tobacco harm reduction will, sooner or later, chance upon this blog. I'm just speeding up the process.

Vendors Blogs
10. Vapor 4 Life
Vapor4Life is a vendor's blog, and, as you'd expect, quite commercial, but I like the way they feature users writing about their experiences switching to and using e-cigarettes.
