    Crazy Alabama city ordinance fixing to be passed!

    You'd need at least three more zeroes on that figure to get any sort of attention in a blue state.

    Hmmm... I've apparently been doing it wrong for 35 years. I'm in complete agreement about the social media stuff though.

    We clearly have different opinions on the idea of 'legitimacy'.

    Common Practice

    US manufacturers in the vaping industry stand strongly behind their products. That has been my experience. And they've done that in spite of government attempts to interfere.

    Nicotine reduction timeline question

    I've been gradually reducing nic content of my juice over the last 15 months. It was never my intention to do so, I simply don't care as much for the effects. FWIW I've also cut my caffeine consumption from a bucket of coffee a day to a couple of cups a month. Again, it was not intentional or...

    Hey Gf! Like most every consumer product today, it's a race to the bottom of the price scale. Trade-offs are made to get there. The first to go is quality and the second is CS. IOW, you'll get precisely what you pay for. There's simply no way around it. I'm a low-wattage tootler and I buy from...

    Aspire Nautilus Tank Leaking?

    I own about a dozen Nauti tanks and have used them almost exclusively for the last year. I've had two that leaked. Both times they had the old-style bvc coils in them with the tiny juice holes. No idea why things would work like this, but changing to the newer bvc coils with the larger juice...

    Will I be safer with something newer?

    With 2 or 3 good batteries, a battery case, and a good charger you won't be disappointed. Tootle heaven, and about as safe as you can be. :D

    What's the best battery?

    And don't forget to keep that pair of batteries 'married' to each other. Discharged together and charged together, always faithful to each other. ;-]

    Crazy Alabama city ordinance fixing to be passed!

    Seems like a pretty special kind of stupid to me. Then again, their motives are quite clear: protect the tobacco industry, and the Tobacco Control industry. Vaping simply doesn't yet put enough money into the government coffers, whereas BT, BP, and TC do...

    More weirdness by ANTZ on ecf

    Only two components of their perception need to change: their source of funding, and their ideology.

    Sally Satel on how vapers can help smokers quit

    Or, at the very least, establish a disconnect between vaping and the 'tobacco product' label. Take that label away and TC authority over vaping reverts to opinion, rather than accepted fact.

    Sally Satel on how vapers can help smokers quit

    I've helped 3 people get started with vaping, but I have no idea how many others those 3 have since helped. :D One begets two, begets four, begets eight...

    The Dangers of ‘Public Health’...

    The entire concept of 'social/societal norms' is a product of consensus/democracy/mob rule. That the perceived 'harm' supposedly being addressed is so often a fictitious creation in the first place fuels my skepticism whenever someone invokes this type of argument.

    Just ask any bright and motivated high school student how they feel about being forced to sit through 6th grade level classes all day.

    have you seen these research?

    It is easier to beg for forgiveness than to ask for permission. Someone has certainly set the bar of ethics low with this 'research'.
