    "Health Officials" bust vendors, promoters at NJ Vape Expo

    I don't doubt that the HVAC was 'running'. But if it was running at a level similar to a 'perfume convention' or a 'cooking expo' there would have been no clouds for the photo-op. Running the HVAC and simultaneously having the roof vents and skylights open will only take away the very uppermost...

    "Health Officials" bust vendors, promoters at NJ Vape Expo

    I'd like to know who directed the facilities manager to shut down the air-handling system in order to create the photo-op. Conspiracy? Nah. Just a group of people, with some power, who have decided to band together to hate vapers and try to get others on board with their agenda. o_O

    ANTZ in desperation mode over "grandfather" date in appropriations bill

    Their beef, in short, is with the tobacco industry. Fine. Shut the tobacco industry off from any participation in the vaping industry. Problem solved.

    The US Surgeon General wants to know more about vaping

    Surgeon General is a political position and as such, no sincerity should be attached. If he's actually asking for citizen input on a matter it likely means 'they've' decided what they're going to do and are looking for an indication of where they might find the most support for that decision...

    Misinformed People

    Small-minded people live in very small worlds. They have no interest in what's beyond their comfortable boundaries, and will work mightily to constrain the thinking of others so that it fits within their particular sphere of comfort. Ignorance is bliss, wrought full.

    I've printed up a stack of cards with the shorter URL to take to a wedding tomorrow. With one of the guests bringing a couple of bottles of primo bourbon up from Kentucky with him it'll be a race whether the cards or the bearer is passed out first. o_O I'll do ya'll proud! :D

    Hi To All

    Welcome aboard Curveball! Glad to have you with us. The 'juice journey' can be a long and complicated one, depending on your taste. Use the tasting bars at your local shops to uncover a flavor (or several) that you enjoy is the first step, and if/when the hit to the wallet becomes unbearable you...

    Got my new Nautilus Mini...hmmmmmmm

    If you're using the coil that came with the new tank it might be the 'old' style BVC coil with the smaller wicking holes. They were prone to leaking, tough to get flavor from, and didn't last very long because the tiny holes would get gunked up even with clear liquids. Try a new (authentic) coil...

    What made you..

    The cost of smoking cigarettes was like paying a second mortgage every month. And the constant, lingering smell....o_O After almost 40 years of smoking I gave myself a dope-slap and stopped.

    The vape nation is perhaps starting to pay attention. We're not talking about lawn darts and slinkies here. There's a lot on the line for many of us.

    Why is "tootle puffing" a bad thing.. or is it?

    I refuse to be pigeon-holed. On a daily basis I enjoy tootling, tootle-squonking, womp-squonking, cloud-puffing, and occasionally trying to change the local doppler weather radar just for fun. :D I'm a proud tootle puffer at heart, though. It's my bread and butter that keeps me away from...
