Suppliers: Please STOP posting Facebook contests on the ECF!!!
You answer your own question later: The widespread presumption that Facebook is an essential or a culture-defining innovation is obnoxious. And you subconsciously express that very same presumption here: Facebook's not nearly on the same level with email; it's not on the same level as the...- Fulgurant

Power in Numbers.....New York Times Article
One of my favorite quotes from the article: “Are these people all in the pay of e-cig companies?” said Linda McAvan, an influential member of Parliament’s environment and public health committee. “No. But they have been told by these companies that Brussels wants to take away their product...- Fulgurant

May sound ridiculous but since I quit smoking nightly leg cramps have gone away.
Same for me. Pretty much every night for the past few years, I'd wake up suddenly with an intense cramp in one or the other of my calves. I had to leap to my feet and pace around the room for a few minutes before it would subside -- not a huge huge issue in the grand scheme I suppose, but it...- Fulgurant

Suppliers: Please STOP posting Facebook contests on the ECF!!!
Yeah, for what it's worth, I don't give a rat's furry rump whether a business uses Facebook to promote itself, but the increasingly pervasive assumption not only that I should be on Facebook, but that Facebook's the most natural place to communicate, really does get on my nerves. So I see both...- Fulgurant

MsTs Bakery Updates
Her no-refund policy isn't a carte-blanche waiver of liability. Her website also says that orders will be processed in 4-8 days (or 3-6, or 4-6, depending on which page of the site you visit :rolleyes:). So if you presume that the customer agrees not to demand a refund, then you must also... -
How many chemicals are really in e-liquid?
This deserves bolding and underlining, not just for vapers but for everyone. Folks, there's a good chance that every study you see waved about in the media is funded by or carried out by someone who has an ax to grind. Skepticism is good, but if you're gonna walk the path of the skeptic, you... -
Convenient store clerk=dealer of death?
Yeah, it sounds like the guy seriously overstepped in your case. For my part, I had an awkward experience the first time I went into my local convenience store after I quit smoking, but there was no acrimony. The guy just looked a little ... crestfallen when I told him I wasn't interested in...- Fulgurant

WOW HALO Tribeca
How'd you feel about the Prime15 in your sampler? To me, it just tastes like a milder version of Tribecca, which is a good thing. I can't decide which I like better. -

Establishments Banning E-Cigs - 2 reasons
Aww, shucks! :) Atty, I didn't give your post a Like because I hated it. Apologies for the ranty tone; it wasn't aimed at you. Right, but the influence wielded by the establishment's chosen panic peddlers cannot be over-emphasized. True! Well, it's almost true; my poo only stinks when I...- Fulgurant

Establishments Banning E-Cigs - 2 reasons
It's social engineering driven by a bloated public-health industry with access to billions of dollars looking for a problem to solve. Unfortunately, their best and seemingly only approved solution is to (try to) manipulate the public's behavior by banning/regulating/taxing the living snot out...- Fulgurant

Establishments Banning E-Cigs - 2 reasons
Pfft, that picture's not real. Everyone knows that Provari are only pictured in their natural environment -- held reverently aloft by supermodels riding in a Lamborghini. By the way, that oreo-science article that Anja posted earlier is comedy gold. Or it would be comedy gold, if it...- Fulgurant

What makes a liquid "premium" vs "mid-grade" vs "cheap"?
Right, that's the presumption. Whether it's always or even usually true is another question. And then there are vendors who charge premium prices for generally well-regarded juices but suck at customer relations, or who just flat-out suck at running a business. So the matter boils down to... -

I don't disagree with your strategic point regarding the issue of second-hand smoke, but I think Kristin makes an equally valid point about the junk science put forward to support anti-smoking measures. The idea here isn't that their conclusions about smoking's health risks were necessarily...- Fulgurant

Right. There isn't a group of aging rich men standing in an oak-lined room somewhere cackling and twirling their mustaches as they pull the strings from the shadows to screw us all. These things always boil down to a mosaic of personal interests, ranging from greed to pride to expediency...- Fulgurant

MsTs Bakery Updates
Heh, happens to me all the time. I wouldn't put it past Ms T to create past-tense notices of future events, so I thought I'd ask. Just now I found three different estimates for order turnaround time on her site (3-6 days, 4-8 days, and 4-6 days). The inconsistency alone is scarcely worth... -
MsTs Bakery Updates
Nah, just file a dispute with your credit card company. Ms T probably won't contest it, because she ain't paying attention. Silver lining, and whatnot.
