    Want to help me make a stink?

    Me neither. It's doubtful that we'll ever receive a response, but if enough of us write we might give the idiots a moment's pause the next time they consider publishing defamatory drivel.

    MsTs Bakery Updates

    @TastyKakes - Ouch. I'm sorry to hear about all of your troubles. In fairness to the USPS, this situation probably wouldn't have arisen if Ms T weren't deaf to correspondence; it's a sad commentary that people could conceivably and unexpectedly move and/or change employers in the span of time...

    PG vs VG

    For what it's worth, I too was surprised when I compared the vapor production between juices at 80/20 PG/VG and juices at max VG%. There was a difference to be sure, but it wasn't as marked a difference as I expected given all of the talk about VG's vapor production. The differences between...

    Why B&M stores have to be higher priced. Should Manufacturers have minimum pricing?

    Depending on what's in the kit, I'm not sure $70 is unreasonable for an ego kit. Two batts, wall and USB chargers, two clearos and a case could run you $50 to $60 online. So $70 represents a 17-40% markup on a kit that gives you pretty much everything you need to start (and continue) vaping...

    Too much of a throat hit! Can't vape anymore... Please HELP!!

    All of the above are good tips. It's worth keeping in mind that cigarette smoke anesthetizes your throat; as you transition from smoking to vaping, your throat will feel tender, but in reality it's healing, not getting worse. It's also worth (re)emphasizing that your body will absorb nicotine...

    AW batteries are garbage

    Yeah, it's not greed; it's caution. The vendor's covering its you-know-what. Nothing wrong with that.

    Do you really have the patentice to steep?

    If it's a new flavor, I invariably try it right out of the mailbox, but I don't judge it until it's had at least a week to sit. FWIW, though, I've found that most juices come together pretty well after 24-48 hours of sitting without their caps on. The cap-off method is key; two days with the...

    Blatant Disrespect IMHO

    Yeah, I'll probably get flack for this, but I pretty much stopped going to (sit-down) restaurants when the ban hit my city. Actually, that's not quite true: when the ban first hit Philadelphia, the rest of the state still allowed smoking sections in restaurants. So I'd drive out of town to...

    Carl Phillips: Big Lies and Reconciliation

    Haha, too perfect. Thanks, Anja. :) Likewise, Kent C. It was an enjoyable discussion.

    Carl Phillips: Big Lies and Reconciliation

    Whether our allies on the e-cig front are friends of liberty with regard to other issues or causes frankly doesn't concern me. If we win on this one topic, which is an archetypal struggle for personal liberty, then we will have taken a step in the right direction generally. (Edit: I misread you...

    Carl Phillips: Big Lies and Reconciliation

    I'd prefer that our ideas weren't couched in liberal or conservative terms too. Your point about moderation is a non-sequitur, though; I'm not advocating moderation; I'm advocating that we appeal to and work with people on the basis of our specific cause (vis-a-vis e-cigs), that we basically...

    Carl Phillips: Big Lies and Reconciliation

    You ramble extremely well. :) I have to agree. Both Bill G's occasional potshots at the Left and Phillips' occasional shots at the Right make me cringe. Even when I agree with those incidental opinions, there's a split-second image in my mind of countless indoctrinated partisans snorting...

    Want to help me make a stink?

    If the insinuation wasn't intentional, then it was an act of incompetence to print it as-is.

    Carl Phillips: Big Lies and Reconciliation

    Phillips has a tendency to do that on occasion: he'll be talking swimmingly about e-cigs and public policy, and then he'll refer, in passing, to something else that has a lot of partisan baggage attached to it. He makes those references artlessly, as if there were no controversy attached to...

    Heh, yeah, true. I mean prepare to sue. :)

    Media destroying a brick and mortar!

    Done, or rather I sent it to her and copied all of the boss type people. If the OP's business really is suffering, though, he has to sue. That's the only thing that'll really get their attention.

    are cities being paid to ban? (x steveVape)

    For the curious, here's a direct link to their Grant criteria: Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust - Application I doubt very much I'll ever receive a reply, or that Ms Befort will bother to read the Drexel study I proffered to her, but it felt good to vent a bit. And hey, maybe if a few of...

    are cities being paid to ban? (x steveVape)

    Tobacco Settlement Endowment Trust - Healthy Communities Incentive Grants Guidelines I'm in the process of writing an angry email to Connie Befort, the woman in charge of reviewing applications for this bribery program. Please feel free to do the same.

    Halo shipping time

    That's unusual, but do keep in mind that the USPS needs a little time to catch up after a Federal holiday.
