    CEH files shakedown lawsuits in CA against 24 large e-cig companies alleging high carcinogen levels

    Common sense would indicate that putting a warning label on everything would dilute the very intent of the labeling.

    Arkansas ACT 1235 (SB978) Shuts Down Online Sales

    The entire concept of left and right in the US has pushed both to the center. Impossible to distinguish between the two in either action or purpose.

    Thanks dabbott! Spread the word my friend! It'll be interesting to see if there's an uptick now that the colleges are back in session. Hmmm?

    Going green

    Don't get caught in that trap. It's not the amount of plastic in those 75 bottles, it's the amount of energy and processing required to manufacture those 75 bottles, as opposed to the gallon jug. The plastic in the landfill, at the end, is probably similar, but the energy used on the production...

    Why do we still call our vapes e-cigarettes:

    I use the term e-cig in conversation to help bridge the gap for someone who knows nothing about vaping. Once they understand that I'm not smoking, and that it's not a cigarette, I transition to the word vape and don't use the term e-cig again. It's part of the education process.

    Someone once said that there is no such......

    Sounds to me like the juice you're using may not like the power you're using. Some flavors/types of juice will taste burnt if there's even a little too much heat. Step the power down and see if it helps, but keep in mind that once the wicking material is scorched it will always taste burnt. With...

    Got a new toy! Best 1st time charge practice help

    Congrats on the new purchase Dawn! Keep the battery between 3.6v and 4.2v, and don't let it overheat, and you'll stay out of trouble. @ThroatPunch, I'm an R/C guy too. The lipos' we use for that are a different animal than the vaping batteries. They're made to dump hard for just a few minutes...

    Hello, there.

    Welcome to the forum GTA! I have no experience with your setup so I can't help directly. I'll bump you back up so your question is more visible. Someone around here will have an answer for you.

    CALIFORNIA VAPERS: Things are getting ugly...

    We're expected to be the minions. Once legislation is "in the books" it's extremely difficult for it to be even changed in any substantial way, let alone removed. This is the strategy of tyranny: it worked with the ACA. Pass the legislation first, and worry about the details later. They don't...

    CALIFORNIA VAPERS: Things are getting ugly...

    That's the most shameful aspect of this (my bold): Tax monies from vapers will be collected and then be used to actively discourage smokers from trying it. Defies logic.

    Anti-THR Lies: Ecig proponents need to learn lessons from other activists

    TC is a multi-billion dollar ideology-based industry. Those who advocate for THR are viewed as a threat to that ideology, and hence, to that industry. The TC mantra: Quit (using nicotine) or die. I don't know how I can fight that, as an individual, other than to support every effort of every...

    Hello!

    Welcome to the forum BazzB! You have an excellent setup in that combo. Sounds like a good shop giving sensible advice. Priming the wick in a new coil and letting it soak in for a few minutes before firing is hugely important. Without enough juice the wick will be scorched and it's no good after...

    CALIFORNIA VAPERS: Things are getting ugly...

    The money is a huge part of the MO here, but don't overlook the fact that career politicians end up becoming power-hungry control freaks during their tenure in office. Particularly those with careers in places like CA and NY. Their benevolence is entirely dependent on our submission to their...

Since then there been approximately 500 sigs added per day, on average. We'd all like to see bigger numbers, but 500/day...
