    FDA Proposed regulation is available

    I happen to agree with you that the vaping industry will thrive in the future. I always have. More to the point of this thread, I believe that even if the FDA ultimately wishes us harm, it's a tactical error on their part to let the ecig market breathe for the next two years -- or even for the...

    FDA Proposed regulation is available

    Ah, but that's a different thing altogether. Before you said that the outcome proved Jman correct retrospectively. Now you say that his position (and yours, presumably) was reasonable given the information available at the time -- which is at least a defensible argument, but it has no bearing...

    FDA Proposed regulation is available

    Events have proven no such thing. It is irrational to evaluate a position or a decision based on what happened afterwards; all that matters is the information available at the time. If I bet my entire life savings on a horse race, would that decision suddenly become sensible in retrospect just...

    FDA Proposed regulation is available

    This should be quoted, in its entirety, on every page of the thread, if not on every page of the forum.

    Is it time to move on?

    Agreed, in principle. Certainly I resent the insinuation, so popular these days, that your weight is license for everyone around to judge you morally. The elephant in the room, as always, is genetics. Of course, if we were to concede that genetics cause a whole host of discrepancies in the...

    Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks

    Yeah, flavorings are the most plausible source of potential long-term harm. There's also a small amount of uncertainty vis-a-vis the regular and long-term inhalation of PG/VG -- which we know to be safe in principle, but which have nevertheless never been used by so many people in the way that...

    Hearing Misinformation About Cotton From Vape Store Clerks

    Organic cotton - bleached with hydrogen peroxide, untreated otherwise. Hydrogen Peroxide sounds deadly dangerous, but in the wake of the bleaching process, hydrogen peroxide naturally degrades into .... drumroll please ... Water and oxygen. What we know about silica and organic cotton is...

    Vodka or Everclear

    There's nothing wrong with your method. Alcohol's just a lot easier in certain cases. In the case of an RBA, I agree: rinse, (paper) towel dry, burn off excess gunk on the coil, and you're good to go. In the case of generic-clearo heads or cartos, soaking in alcohol is superior, if for no...

    The word "stinkies"

    Self-loathing's a powerful thing. Familiarity breeds contempt.

    Youtube reviews and subscriptions---who do you watch?

    Yeah, I stumbled on him totally by accident a couple of months ago, and he became an instant favorite. Maybe second only to Busardo, whom Twisted worships, by the way. :) A very good point.

    Being the Devil's Advocate Here : If you are vaping with Nicotine juice, you ARE still a "smoker"..

    Or what comes out of your ears, if you try to read too many threads like this one.

    Ah, but what if the terrorists decide to take up nicotine-flavored archery! Haha, you have no answer to that, do ya smarty pants?!?

    Imagine if vaping really did make you younger. Headline: "'Vaping leads to more than a lifetime of addiction,' warns Cosmetic Surgeon Association."

    Hey, it could mean something like that. Of course, if that bit of trivia is the take-away from the survey, then the exercise was even dumber than I thought: "a marginally larger minority proportion of a group ten times smaller than smokers is comprised of women." Yeah, actually, you may be...

    Why you shouldn't CHAIN vape

    Folks, please. We shouldn't be criticizing the OP for his inflammatory thread title or for his pious delivery of utterly obvious information. We should be congratulating him for having fixed his his leaking MVP enough to chain vape in the first place! (Please learn a little more before...

    I don't believe your second statement's plausible. Much as it might pain me to say it, no one has seriously even tried to make the case that any significant segment of the population -- much less an entire gender -- vapes in greater numbers than it smokes. Yet. Best estimates, to my...

    Right. The term is "low income" when they're using the plight of the poor as an excuse to shame anyone who's moderately well off. The term is "low education" when they're trying to justify taxing (or just annoying) the living snot out of the poor. Life is good when you can have your cake, and...
