    What size ego pouch for triton?

    I received essentially the same item as a gift a couple of weeks ago. The 650-mah batteries from my Triton kit do fit with a tank attached, but it's a close thing. Longer batteries might need to be unscrewed, which isn't a big deal, but hey. Full disclosure: I haven't used the eGo case in...

    Irritating local news story

    The funny thing is that the original post has nothing to do with Fox News, as far as I can tell. The OP discusses a news story on a local Fox affiliate, which is equivalent to just about any other local news operation in the United States. The Fox TV network just happens to pay the bills.

    Look at it this way: Dude was just trying to verbalize a lot of extra commas :)

    Halo Triton Starter Pack: Why 2 sets?

    The batteries in the Triton starter kit are either 400 or 650 mAh (at the user's preference). Halo offers larger capacities a la carte, but the starter kit batts are limited (I assume) by the size of the case in which the starter kit is packaged. Anyway, as a fairly heavy vaper, I find the...

    Halo Triton Starter Pack: Why 2 sets?

    I suppose that if you only vape lightly, you could make do with only one battery; the charge lasts a fairly long time. By all means, share your kit with your wife and see how both of you like it. But generally you want at least two batteries for each person, because you don't want to get...

    vaping complaint from customer

    He said he avoids starches, not that he eschews vegetables. We are neither carnivores nor herbivores. We are omnivores. So are dogs, incidentally -- according to my veterinarian, anyway. That surprised me.

    vaping complaint from customer

    What potshots? I said that I'd expect a vegan restaurant to feature more paranoia about health-related issues, because vegans go to considerable effort to control what goes into their bodies. Do your expectations differ? Clearly they don't, because you argue basically the same thing in the...

    vaping complaint from customer

    Interesting way of owning up, first by asserting that you were misinterpreted, and then by insisting that other people have done worse. You seem very concerned with the possibility that vapers are hypocrites, so I'll just make this one point before I quit this conversation for the sake of...

    vaping complaint from customer

    I didn't want to open that particular can of worms, but yeah, that's why vegans get what some might believe is more than their fair share of mockery. Not all vegans are ideologues, of course, but a lot of them are.

    vaping complaint from customer

    1. There's no evidence that a vegan diet is inherently healthier than an omnivorous diet. You may feel that's a small point, but it is nonetheless a crucial distinction for the purpose of this conversation, because you appear to have assumed that anyone who would poke fun at vegans is...

    vaping complaint from customer

    Once upon a time, an earnest gentleman came upon a boy eating candy. "Son," the man said, "Don't you know that candy isn't good for you?" Still chewing, the boy replied, "My grandfather lived to the ripe old age of 104." The man scratched his head. "Oh -- did your grandfather eat a lot...

    obamacare and vaping?

    Agreed. The website is just the front end. Hard to say what else was required, but $700 million is a pretty crazy number.

    Car windows up or down

    I always have a window at least partially open -- but then I trend towards paranoia when it comes to ventilation.

    obamacare and vaping?

    Fair enough, no hard feelings. That article amounts to an opinion piece written by two Democrats. I'm sorry, but I just find it amusing to hear politicians of any stripe dismiss a legally-mandated project on the basis that it isn't cost-effective enough, of all things. And the reasoning is...

    obamacare and vaping?

    It was a joke. :) Facebook's sort of a pet peeve, but then I'm probably an oddball. These pigs certainly think I am!

    Heh, if the government required me to sign up for Facebook I think I really would move away. ;)

    obamacare and vaping?

    If you're willing to fight if they (insurance providers) make an issue of it, then more power to you. Most people probably aren't willing, though.

    obamacare and vaping?

    You're saying it's self-evident that building and maintaining a fence would cost more than letting millions of people across the border every year more-or-less uncontested. I disagree. If the only rebuttal you're prepared to give is the content-free dismissal quoted above, then I'm afraid...

    obamacare and vaping?

    With all due respect to my friends on the left, anyone who can say with a straight face that a fence "doesn't work," and that therefore one shouldn't be built, isn't prepared to be honest on this issue. "A front door on my house won't prevent a determined burglar; therefore my house should be...

    Keep Out Of Reach Of Children

    LOL, "this sign has sharp edges" -- a sign whose entire purpose is to warn you about itself. That's awesome. :) Yeah, the funny thing about this thread is that it'd be much easier for a small child to eat a bunch of cigarettes than it would be for a small child to dismantle a disposable...
