    BVC Coil Dead After 4 Days...

    I get 2 1/2 to 3 weeks from a BVC with relatively clear, unsweetened juices, mint/menthol or berry flavors. YMMV. A dripper is used for the 'gunky' stuff because the wick can be removed, the coil dry-burned, and a rewick put in place in just a few minutes and for just a few pennies. It's also...

    Fake or Authentic? - efest batteries

    Don't take a knife to a gun fight, don't take a Yugo to a demolition derby, and don't skimp on vaping batteries. Pretty simple.

    BVC Coil Dead After 4 Days...

    BVC coils should not be dry-burned with a wick in them. Burnt cotton doesn't taste very good. ;)

    Experts request retraction of NEJM formaldehyde fabrication

    Yep! They've been governmentized. Similar to hypnotized or Mesmerized. "She blinded me with science" -- Thomas Dolby

    US GAO says vaping hasn't affected tobacco tax revenue

    What would you expect from people who need 'specialists' to reload their staplers and tape dispensers.

    "Public Health consensus" on ecigs signed by PHE & 11 other agencies

    Regulation today is used primarily to consolidate wealth and power. An unregulated or (even a lightly regulated) fledgling industry such as vaping means that 10,000 little businesses own and control the market, and those little businesses don't write the 7-figure checks required to curry favor...

    Ann McNeill responds to McKee & Capewell failing the scream test again

    Big government does nothing well. Never has, and never will. BTW, Glen Curtis made the first successful airplane. The Wright bros just had better PR. ;-]

    Efest Batteries

    Don't ever buy vaping batteries thru amazon or ebay. There's no telling what you'll get, and it's not worth the risk. E-fest buys their batteries from reputable companies and wrap or re-wrap them. Problem is, they buy the batteries that don't pass quality control, from the reputable companies...

    Government intervention, at it's current level, would have left us all with oil lamps and abaci a hundred years ago.

    Massachusetts AG Dropped the Bomb - Regs start 9/25/15

    By my understanding, the AG in MA is elected by the voters to uphold the MA state laws, not to make them. It's the same with most US states. This was undoubtedly ordered from the state capitol. The only people empowered to change this "legislation-by-government-fiat" are the people of the state...

    Anyone have this happen?

    Sounds like you're off the radar. That's good. I'd like to know from whence the motivation for this arose. Further information would be appreciated. Scare tactics, ie terrorism, is no longer beyond boundaries for even seemingly benevolent governments.

    Massachusetts AG Dropped the Bomb - Regs start 9/25/15

    Create a situation which you know full well will eventually result in a black market, and then make it a law that anyone participating in the current legal market must provide the authorities with their name and address in order to participate? I might look stupid, but give me a little credit...

    Anyone have this happen?

    Without knowing the details of the investigation it's all conjecture here. Innocent until proven guilty is still generally the principle of law. The complaint could have come from a disgruntled employee or customer, a competitor, or even a local politician or bureaucrat with an axe to grind...

    Aspire Premium Kit newby

    Welcome to the forum Manclad80! The airflow is adjustable because different people have different needs/wants. Some like a very 'open' draw with little or no resistance, while some prefer a little 'tighter' draw more like you'd get with a cigarette. It's a matter of preference and you'll have to...
