    Cease and desisit letters to ecig suppliers?

    Not shooting down the "powers that be" theory -- totally legitimate -- but the FDA doesn't take donations, so they're probably not directly beholden to tobacco companies. They DO get funding from pharmaceutical corporations for research, however.

    My Vapor Store, Vapor4Life and FreedomSmokes USA

    Another thumbs-up for Vapor4Life. Couple minor glitches -- missing PCC in my first order, which was promptly sent out. Then a battery croaked, and for some reason, I received another PCC instead of a replacement. Hoping I'll get the batt I asked for with my latest order. Quick, friendly...

    Cease and desisit letters to ecig suppliers?

    But interestingly, until this year, the FDA didn't even require tobacco companies to list the "ingredients" in cigarettes, which include flavorings and chemicals to affect taste and burn rate (and allegedly, nicotine absorption). And to my knowledge (again, until changes begun this year) NO...

    WoW Coffee is..........

    Gotta try some of that. Got the Cappuchino yesterday, and it tastes like the Cognac I got as a freebie and didn't care for. I want a good coffee in 18mg. Hope this does the trick.

    For Non-Smokers?

    Hi there. I'm new here too. But I've done a lot of looking around on this subject, and reading comments and testimonials on e cigs, and I don't think you'll find anyone here who would be okay with someone *taking up* e cigarettes. This is clearly an alternative aimed at people who use tobacco...

    Cease and desisit letters to ecig suppliers?

    Thing is, I'd like the FDA to do MORE in some areas. All these E. Coli outbreaks, the bad eggs, diet and heart drugs that are killing people ... it goes on and on. I don't know how some of the *drugs* on the market were ever approved, with all the crazy "side effects," like the drug for a skin...

    Cease and desisit letters to ecig suppliers?

    They do seem to be focusing on health claims, including those in testimonials (which seems a bit ridiculous). But the L.A. Times article linked above says the FDA states its actions are not meant as a larger effort to ban e-cigs. They're worked up about the health / "drug" claims. They say are...

    Okay, that's cool. Bit scary. But cool. :ohmy:

    I made videos for newbies! In particular, broke newbies...

    . . . which is exactly why your advice / vids are relevant to newbies, who need guidance most of all. For what it's worth, though, I think it's possible the KR808 may be "cool enough" for me going forward as well (I'm a fan of simplicity) so it was kind of reaffirming to see someone who's...

    BAD aftertaste.

    I vote for the new carto approach. Just getting a bit too dry once seems to impart a sour taste that lingers, even after topping them off. Haven't tried washing; seems logical that might work as well. Good luck and don't give up.

    Very nicely done, MN. I had a fair handle on some of this already, but I learned quite a bit. My, but Beatrice is a big girl. :blink: Keep 'em coming, please. Can't wait to see what the post-graduate level classes bring. - DG Edit: Glad to see this elevated to "Sticky" status. Well deserved.

    OT Who's still loving their Kindle?

    Hold on ... well, a quick perusal of my leatherette bound, gilt-edged copy of The Ultimate HHG ("Unabridged") yields no quick answers, but I don't recall "......" from past readings. "Knee-biter" is kickier anyway; just not a devastating put-down, in my opinion. Now, had you accused me of, say...

    I think "knee-biter" is kind of a whiff, but by all means, enjoy yourself! :)

    V4L Juice bottle problems

    Not so far. Got two new bottles today (making my grand total 3) and they are drip free. Watermelon at the SO's suggestion and 555. Both excellent in 11 ml, I might add.

    OT Who's still loving their Kindle?

    Yeah, sadly, both "Ford Prefect" and "Zaphod" were taken. :blush: But I've got my towel and I'm ready to go.

    OT Who's still loving their Kindle?

    I've been enjoying e-books on an Ipad. Free downloads for Kindle, Nook, and Borders e-book software. I really like the freebies on classics and promotional deals for the first in a series. The only problem is getting distracted with e-mail, podcasts, web browsing, etc. when I sit down to read...

    kr808 battery with too big a "hole?"

    Eh. Don't think I'm going to go there. Definitely not with lead solder, anyway. :)

    Vapor king?

    Just got set up with Vapor4Life and have been very pleased. Great product -- haven't smoked since the day after I got it. Quick and friendly customer service with some minor issues. Always seems to be an excellent sale "code" available.

    Health insurance question

    That's been my observation as well. Vapor so far is not classified as a tobacco product.

    Newbies? What is the one thing you were/are confused the most about?

    Equipment. There's a lot out there, and a lot of nomenclature to absorb. And, I like to start any kind of gear-related enterprise with a *slight* step up from "basic," so as to kind of balance cost and complexity with quality. Settled on a two-piece for simplicity's sake, then stumbled on...
