    Are we shooting ourselves in the foot by using the term 'E Cigarette'?

    I've come to a realization- there should be a formal name, and everyone can call them whatever they want slangily. My vote for a formal name: Mist Producing Inhaler with Nicotine If someone decided to use the PV for some other substance, you just replace Nicotine with whatever (Vitamin B for...

    Long Island,NY PV/E-cig Ban Hearing

    Well done folks! I'm glad to see that you mentioned the fact that banning use in non-smoking areas makes them cigarettes in the public's minds. It is unfair for a non-scientific board to make a scientific classification, especially with no research to back it up (lack of proof for A does not...

    Strange comment from USPS lady today

    Well, got my package today from the post office. No problems. Except that when I signed on the pad it looked like a toddler's scribblings.

    Strange comment from USPS lady today

    Well, he checked "registered mail" on the card, so that could be why... still annoyed. Maybe he was new.

    Strange comment from USPS lady today

    Here's something odd... my order from RuyanDirect came today. My fiance was home to accept it, but the carrier told her that I had to sign for it and left the pink card. Now I have to go to the post office on Monday to pick it up. Two more days of waiting... *sigh*. On a positive note: came...

    ID Please?

    I have no idea, but every time I see this thread title I keep thinking it's about not selling to minors. Good luck in your identifications.

    Can we come to a conclusion on a name?

    Yeah, I'm not totally comfortable with "misting" either. Too reminiscent of a cat "spraying".

    Can we come to a conclusion on a name?

    You know, it's technically not really vapor. If you can see it, it's probably a colloid, which makes it mist. Mistette? How horrid.

    How long it take you to get blu?

    Ordered 6/1, supposedly shipped today (6/18). Now it'll be a race between this and my 401 to see which arrives first.

    Health Insurance Loopholes and the FDA

    Right, I was referencing the "get in an accident" thing.The dying of cancer was tongue-in-cheek.

    Health Insurance Loopholes and the FDA

    Nope. But if it's life threatening, they HAVE to save you, whether you have insurance or not. Physical Therapy and all that is totally optional. Besides, we're all going to die of cancer anyway, aren't we? :-P

    Health Insurance Loopholes and the FDA

    Insurance companies are businesses. Therefore, they must profit. Therefore, they must pay out less than they take in. Therefore, the average person with insurance is getting screwed. Just find out how much you would be paying in premiums, and start a savings account. Or a retirement account...

    We need letters from EXPERTS!

    If you could enumerate the arguments against PVs in one concise list, I could come up with a counter-letter. I don't have letters after my name, but a well-worded letter from "some dude" might help just the same.

    Draining batteries before recharging

    You know, I was kind of curious about this as well. Has anyone tried not conditioning a battery? What kind of life do you get out of it compared to conditioning?

    Getting Doctors Involved

    Man, wish I could help in this regard (medical records) but I haven't been to a doctor in... 7 years? I don't think I even have medical records anymore. I'm ~135lbs, ~5'11", and my BP is typically low, with a (usually) normal heart rate. I would say that, from a cardiovascular standpoint, I'm...
