    Anyone else feel like Mt BakerVapor is just so- so?

    I'm not sure I would use the word "elitist." "Needlessly arrogant," might be better, or perhaps simply, "Boorishly naive." There's no doubt that the vendors in question intentionally occupy different price points, but to say that the newborn e-juice market bears any resemblance to the...

    Bad News! - Aspire BDC Review

    Yeah, he gave it a thumbs up moving at 60 mph on a jetski. :) But he did have this caveat to add later: A PBusardo Video - Let's Talk About Air & The Aspire Some More - YouTube

    Thoughts on the longevity of the MVP 2.0 a few questions from the worrying type :)

    If any of those technologies were only ~6 years old, the value proposition with respect to those items might be significantly different. It's early days, yet. We're in the Wild West. I don't necessarily disagree about your philosophical point (quoted below), but for good or ill, vape tech is...

    Thoughts on the longevity of the MVP 2.0 a few questions from the worrying type :)

    Right, but it's a matter of perspective. The MVP has the features of an APV with the same battery maintenance as an eGo (none) -- and it costs roughly as much as two good Twist batteries. No one complains that their eGos are disposable. So if you compare it to a bona-fide mod over a very...

    Anyone else feel like Mt BakerVapor is just so- so?

    Yeah, we have to keep in mind that we're discussing a very young industry; it's the Wild West out there. To argue that there's some sort of established order to dictate the objective quality of any juice based on its price point seems insane to me. What are the ingredients? PG, VG, nicotine...

    Should an 18650 take 12 hours to charge?

    Sheesh. Yo-u ain't kid-ding.

    My Very FIRST Vape!!!!

    Throat hit, as I understand it, is just the property that simulates the distinctly substantial feeling of smoke hitting the back of your throat (and down into your lungs). Smokers might call it "harshness," or some other vaguely pejorative term, and so I can understand your misgivings -- but...

    Those two quotes were my favorites too. :)

    Banning of e-cigarettes on College Campus

    No, thank you. I've very much enjoyed reading your posts. :thumbs: (And I'm not just saying that because you're an apex predator!)

    Banning of e-cigarettes on College Campus

    Any and all restrictions? Doubtful. But envision a future in which both smoking and vaping are so punitively expensive and stigmatized that there's only a speculative advantage to switching. Can you say with any degree of certainty that you would have switched under those conditions? I...

    Why are so many vapers against themselves?

    That may be so, but it isn't my purpose here to try to convert liberal vapers into Republican voters, and I believe anyone here working towards that purpose is cutting his nose off to spite his face. Witness this thread and countless others: every time someone mentions the party affiliation of...

    Banning of e-cigarettes on College Campus

    No, but we certainly have a right to challenge the reasoning behind their policies. Hence the topic. To observe that property owners (public or private) have a right to institute (most) any stupid policy they wish on their own grounds is to state a truism. At best it's a pointlessly obvious...

    Why are so many vapers against themselves?

    The partisan political bickering in this thread and others is an irrelevant distraction. Nothing more.

    Why are so many vapers against themselves?

    Right, that's an important point because increasingly draconian smoking bans are becoming more and more commonplace -- outdoor bans and so forth. When we discuss this topic, I think a lot of us are talking past each other because we're used to a particular type of indoor smoking ban, and a...

    the name "electronic cigarette"

    How many of us would have started vaping if e-cigarettes weren't billed as e-cigarettes? Please read the following for an interesting discussion that touches on this topic: E-cigarettes are a tobacco product, so please stop wasting time arguing otherwise | Anti-THR Lies and related topics

    Am I the only person in town who knows what's going on?

    Yeah, the truth is that retailers always employed largely clueless staff. The difference now is that the internet empowers any consumer with half a brain and half an ounce of interest to do his own research. But as with anything, you have to pick your battles; you can't become even a...

    Virgin Vapor reviews suspiciously all 5-star?

    Tastes vary. They vary a lot. Think food taste preferences, and then imagine that every diner is the pickiest eater you've ever seen. Now realize that there are vapers who are ten times pickier than that. You're gonna be disappointed with a lot of juices. It doesn't matter how expensive or...

    Question about polycarbonate clearomizers

    Is that what makes canned soda so delicious? I might hafta order some of that stuff! ;)

    What is kid friendly ???

    I apologize for cutting your post down, Jman, but I find these point-by-point affairs inevitably lead to tiresome and needlessly contentious brawls as each side increasingly picks at wording or minutiae. So instead I'm just going to focus on what I believe to be the most important part of this...
