    Change {dot} org petition for congress to reject the deeming regs

    If there was an emoticon of a dump truck full of likes for this it still wouldn't be enough.:) By the time most people find out, it's too late.

    Change {dot} org petition for congress to reject the deeming regs

    When regulation is put in place in order to only serve the government, it's wrong. When regulation is put in place to serve only those who financially support a government, it's wrong. When regulation is put in place as any sort of punitive measure, it's wrong. Regulation "because we can..." is...

    New BMJ garbage post about ecigs - here's the reaction

    It's not so much about 'how long the truth can be buried', but about how long the deceivers can hide behind their curtain of lies. It's a subtle, but important difference. The curtain draws back a bit every day.

    Change {dot} org petition for congress to reject the deeming regs

    I have a very good friend (going on 45 years) who's a staunch Democrat and a die-hard Progressive Liberal who believes that BG regulation is the answer to most problems. It's amazing that we're still friends, but there's a lot of history that we share. I've been remodeling one of his bathrooms...

    Is it unusual to regress to simple stupid?

    With the exception of a few juice flavors that didn't work out and my ego starter kit, every purchase I've made gets used daily. No need to regress or progress from my happy place. The KISS principle. A titanium Provari is on my mind though, just because the 2.5 tends to pull my pants down when...

    Thanks for noticing, Claude! Replacing worn out tools and keeping my poor old truck running has eaten up most of the savings. :( Beer and clams for the Independence Day weekend though. :D

    Ohm reader help!!!!!

    If you're happy with the vape you're getting, that's what counts. :) And 12 watts is well within the acceptable range for the nautilus coils. Enjoy!

    Intro and question

    Welcome to ECF Ladybug! I was a heavy menthol smoker for the better part of 40 years and I've settled on 'Extreme Ice' from Mount Baker Vapor (MBV) as my #1 go-to juice flavor. It's a bit too intense for a lot of people, but it works for me. :D It's about 4 bucks for a 15ml bottle so it's worth...

    Chasing the throat hit

    Nic content seems to be mostly responsible for throat hit IME. Upgrading the hardware to something with more power would allow for a warmer/hotter vape, though, and that might give you a bit more throat hit. Best of luck to you.

    Another Noob

    Glad you've found us Claude. I have a sense you'll enjoy vaping much more than smoking once it really sets in for you. It's a big, flavorful world. Congratulations! BTW, a member here who goes by the name beckdg is an OTR trucker with a serious kit of work-type vape gear that he carries. He'll...

    Interesting read

    With that kind of 'balance' I surely would have fallen down several times today. "We just don't know about later. We just don't know......" "Put a muzzle on that 6-week old puppy, because we just don't know if he might bite someone in the future."

    Would a change dot org petition help us?

    Signer #4! And damned proud of it!!!! Being 4th out of a million will mean a day off from work and a party. :D Whether it actually changes anything right now in DC, or not, it's a huge step on the ladder of motivation. Eventually the lawmakers will have to pay attention, because whether they...

    Hello Fellow Vapees!

    Welcome aboard Jess! I was born and started breathing in 1959. So in a very real sense, that's when I started vaping. There is no such thing as a non-vaper on planet earth. Visit a northern clime during January for visual proof. ;) I started using the current technology to quit smoking almost a...

    Best batteries

    Nobody currently makes an 18650 vaping-type battery that is rated at 40 amp continuous discharge. There are several in the 20 to 25 amp range, and your VTC4's are around 30 amp. Excellent batteries. Go to some websites of reputable suppliers: Orbtronics, Illumination supply, RTDVapes, and a few...
