    Pfft, Columbus -- all he did was to take an extended Caribbean vacation. I coulda done that! Happy Birthday :)

    Will There Ever Be A Malboro E-Cig?

    Right. It's in Big Tobacco's interest to make a mediocre and overpriced e-cig product so that their cigarettes continue to compare favorably. Competition isn't that large a concern just yet, because none of the real pioneers in the e-cig industry have the opportunity to place their products in...

    Will There Ever Be A Malboro E-Cig?

    Well, Blu is owned by Lorillard Tobacco company, and the newly introduced Vuse belongs to RJ Reynolds. Philip Morris appears to be poised to enter the e-cig market as well. So yes. The future is now.

    vaping near entrances.

    I agree with both of the above-quoted comments on a personal level; realistically we all have to pick our battles, but if the OP's feels up to it, s/he might write a polite letter to the people who run the mall to point out the differences between vaping and smoking. That effort's not likely...

    Does anyone knows why some people are saying that using EC is dangerous?

    And the incidence of PV-battery explosions that cause substantial bodily harm is still far lower than the incidence of Chantix making people nutso. Interesting that the unregulated industry has a higher success rate and a lower rate of catastrophic failure than the heavily regulated industry.

    Oh, my god...I've lost my mind...

    Pfft, no worries. The credit will run out eventually; then that stupid card'll be sorry!

    This does get "cheaper" right?

    Sure, but I think for newer people it's more instructive to observe that they can save money (relative to smoking cigarettes) even without becoming Do-It-Yourself hobbyists. After all, there are any number of things that I could save money on if I devoted myself to learning all of their...

    How much should I support the "Brick & Morter" stores?

    Yes. They're also the folks who will fight hardest against any hare-brained restrictions that your local government might propose.

    Is this Normal?

    Right, all else being equal, you should have to vape more often to get the same nicotine absorption from a given amount of smoking. But all else isn't necessarily equal, which is why those loosey-goosey comparison charts ("A light cigarette equals this kind of juice!") should be taken with a...

    Is this Normal?

    You might experiment with a bottle of 24mg juice.

    Big Tobacco - Are they a good or bad thing?

    Right, but in this instance Big Tobacco can't simply under-price the competition -- or rather, Big Tobacco has a vested interest in keeping e-cig prices as high as possible. After all, if the public thinks that the e-cigs are just as expensive as (if not more expensive than) regular cigarettes...

    Local vape shop = perfect vape! No more NoTank and Vision Pisser!

    Glad you've found something that makes you happy. :) Your experience pretty much mirrors my experience with Halo's purportedly overpriced and quasi-propriety eGo-like kit. It was well worth an extra couple of days worth of cigarette costs to get flawless and largely fiddle-free performance...

    6 week old Smoktech Winder is not holding a charge anymore! Should the B&M replace it???

    Yeah, usually the warranty for these items is significantly longer than the return period. So if the B&M won't replace your battery, maybe you could check with the manufacturer?

    Hehe, mine too. I could never match Smokie's use of emoticons, either. Pure art. :)

    [B]Tip to vape store owners!! [/B]

    It's just a young industry -- plagued by all of the practical problems in any retail business (most notably the high turnover rate of low-paid employees, which makes training them properly a difficult and often thankless task), combined with the difficulty of keeping up with an inchoate and...

    Being Reasonable as a Community

    I suspect that few, if any, would try to argue with a straight face that the FDA should be dismantled entirely, much less the entire government. Where have you seen that rhetoric? (Emphasis mine.) Who's suggested that? If you're referring to the original poster of this thread, he wasn't...

    Being Reasonable as a Community

    Nah, but it can be fun sometimes. Healthy even. And as wv2win points out, we're not the anti-rational bullies in this fight. I don't mean to direct this at you, but when someone like the OP comes into a forum like this one and leads with the premise that we need to get more "reasonable,"...

    What do electronic cigarettes contain

    Yes, if it's not one group, it's another. Or soon will be another. That's why our biggest problem is the social stigma that we've unfairly inherited from cigarettes. That social stigma facilitates and encourages unscrupulous behavior at our expense, on the part of anyone who imagines he might...

    2011 ECF Coupon : 10% off

    It works (or did, as of yesterday), but only on juices, and only on juice orders totaling more than $20. So if you try it on a pure-hardware order, or you try it on a tiny juice order, you'll get an error message. It's just a generic error message, too, so it's easy to get confused.
