I'm glad things are going well for him. I have such great memories of him. It really was a pleasure knowing him.

Now I'm really missing the old days!!

The PA floor tax ( 40% of current inventory) put a heavy burden on him, somehow he survived it as allot of shops closed down here

My problem is this thread is the only one left where I recognize the hardware being discussed!!

Right there with you, lol!

I posted this in another thread but thought is was fitting here also. It's basically what got me started vaping in 2008:

Dating back to the mid 1990s the US government started forcing lower nicotine levels under the cover of improving your health but mostly increasing tax profit. They turned a pack a day, into a 2 packs a day smoker by mid 2000 and with added taxes. In reality yes you are consuming less nicotine per pack but twice if not more tar and carbon monoxide while making up for the nicotine reduction. With vaping starting up around early 2008 we were fighting back against government regulation of watering down our nicotine and getting into our pockets. If it hadn't been for us rebels vaping may have never happened.

Rob says hi Zelda, he remembers you well , he tried to post here but could not due to his prolonged absence" insufficient privileges"

 

[zelda]

I'm glad he remembers me! Please tell him hi back for me. I wish he could post here - that would be great.

Time flies when you're having fun, as they say.

If the they are flies, they say "Times fun when you're having flies"..

You are NOT alone!

I often stroll thru the Classies just to learn the new names of gear I have no klue about.

That is one that still makes me Smile when I think about it.

Love it, "Cuz"!

I remember when the DSE901 first came out. That's what I started with 9 years ago. The biggest "big thing" after that was a button was added so you could control the vape time.

It wasn't that long ago that the average device pumped out an astonishing 8-9 Watts.

Mine still pump out an "astonishing" 9 watts.

I loved the vape from a 901 (great taste) It was just that I needed to carry a bath towel to absorb the leakage.

Oh and I still vape at ~8 watts. Even using a 14500 battery today. (Mako Midi)

No Empire drip shield, tj?

They're pretty cute.

We thank you, dahlink.

No Empire drip shield, tj?

Not at first, I had already switched to 510s when I figured I'd better get some drip shields
Would you believe I keep a couple all set up, just in case I feel the urge.

 

[Katdarling]

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot!! 40% tax on inventory? How does any store stay open at that rate. That is a blatant attempt to shut down an industry. How often is that tax due? Imagine if car dealerships or department stores were taxed like that. Even Wal-Mart would struggle at those rates.

Having to clean new atomizers before even using them.

Umm yup! And that very well may be the only time that Taste is NOT Subjective.

 

[BackDoc]

Ahhhhhhhhh, the sweet taste of gear oil

I remember back in the day when @beckdg was hanging out with us here on the ECF while piloting his big rig down the road. Haven't heard from him in a while and kinda miss his unique sense of humor. I hope all is well with him.

Ah Ha, looks like I just haven't been lookin' in all the right places. I see he has been hangin' out in the tootle puffers thread

Ahh yes... "Mystery Fluid."

Those were the Days.

LOL

Remember back in the day before they figured out wicks and coils how we would put some e-liquid into a teapot, set it on the wood burning stove and then sucked the vapor from it? Yeah, we ended up with burnt lips that made us look like we had a horrible STD that made us the pariah of the neighborhood but at least we weren't smoking so we walked tall.
