    Are we seen as 'fake smokers'

    E-cigarettes are fake cigarettes in the same way that automobiles are fake horse wagons, or that computers are fake typewriters. People both inside and outside of our little culture here have it wrong when they try to discern or impose a fundamental rift between smoking and vaping. They are...

    Disappointed in iclear 30s

    As far as I know, the coils are the same in the newer S model of the iClear 30. The casing on the outside of the head is the only notable difference in the design. That said, most people on the forum (based on a casual reading of it) seem to prefer the new style of head. It's possible you...

    Dec 11, 2013 2PM EST - FDA Webinar: 20 Years Later – Returning to FDA to Regulate Tobacco

    Yeah, this is my least favorite argument too. "You may have quit smoking using e-cigarettes, but E-cigarettes haven't been proven to help large populations quit smoking!" First of all, the sheer size of the vaping industry kinda-sorta suggests that there is some proof, you officious dimwit...

    Dec 11, 2013 2PM EST - FDA Webinar: 20 Years Later – Returning to FDA to Regulate Tobacco

    I love this. "People have pointed out that the data doesn't say what the CDC claimed it said, but I'm gonna ignore that cuz ... Uh, cuz I can." Important officials like to smoke high-end cigars, after all. Anti-tobacco measures have always been regressive -- disproportionately onerous to the...

    MsTs Bakery Updates

    Exactly right. Do keep in mind the context in this particular case, too: I don't mean to criticize the people who run this excellent forum, but it's worth noting that there could be any number of new and would-be vapers who might've been misled by Ms T's ECF-approved status, and who...

    Boooooored!

    An evil soul-sucking timesink. Or a Massively Multiplayer Online video game. Depends on who you ask. ;) Personally I've dabbled with a few in the past. They can be diverting, but the MMO genre is basically dead to me now that City of Heroes is gone. SWTOR is fun if you play it as if it were...

    Please Help Me Convince My Wife

    This is why I always click on these threads. You never let me down, Eddard! :thumbs:

    So done with plastic tanks

    Right. There are two things to keep in mind though, contextually: first, MBV carries a huge huge selection of juices, over 300 IIRC, so even if you dismiss the ~80 juices on the list entirely, you still have no shortage of options. Secondly, and more importantly, MBV is surprisingly open and...

    response from Senator Dianne Feinstein

    No, but she conveyed that message quite clearly in the email/letter quoted in the OP. Seriously, reading the following passage is like spraying yourself in the face with weaponized Eau d'ANTZ: "Nicotine is a highly addictive and dangerous drug, and some public health groups have expressed...

    E-cigarettes cause alarming increase in calls to poison control center

    "I made a 1,000% return on my initial investment!" "Too bad I only invested a penny."

    response from Senator Dianne Feinstein

    Ms. Feinstein regurgitated the same misinformed and unscientific anti-ecig twaddle that the tobacco control industry's spoonfed to the media over the last several years. If nothing else, that indicates that her position will be based on information and arguments from decidedly vaper-hostile...

    E-cigarettes cause alarming increase in calls to poison control center

    I wonder how many poison-control-center calls were caused by alarmist ersatz journalism concerning household items or situations.

    So done with plastic tanks

    Yeah, it's not like all juices melt (polycarbonate) plastic, or even most juices. This list has been helpful to me, for what it's worth: E Juice that may break a plastic tanks | Mt Baker Vapor WikiMt Baker Vapor Wiki Citrus or cinnamon flavors are the main culprits, AFAIK. If you're not sure...

    Could by battery really be the issue?

    It's definitely not hard to outsmart yourself whenever you get heavily interested in any new thing. Great post. My own vaping journey appears to be the reverse of yours: I started with a simple ego-style kit with a handful of Kanger T2 clearos (Halo's version of the T2, anyway), and had zero...

    Just give me a pv that lasts longer than 3 months!!!!!!!!!!!

    Well, if she can kill the battery in 8 hours, and the battery's expected minimum lifespan is 300 full charge cycles, then a non-defective MVP should theoretically last at least (8/24) * 300 = 100 days. And that assumes CommaHolly never sleeps. Call it 150 days, minimum, if there are 8 solid...

    If they banned ecigs, would you stockpile?

    Premixed, as you would buy it now? I doubt it. That is, if nicotine e-juice were banned, it's doubtful that the industry would remain otherwise intact as we know it today. Some vendors would no doubt persist in selling hardware (either explicitly labeled as e-cig hardware or carefully...

    Vaping Hypocricy?

    I am not aware of any post in this thread advocating openly discourteous behavior; most people, I suspect, actually agree with your position on how to approach the issue in public places. That said, Baldr most likely received "Likes" because of his rebuttal to the vaping-is-not-a-right...

    VV vs. VW: Really different?

    Variable wattage isn't better than variable voltage. It's arguably easier, but not better. I think your example sorta misconstrues the point of variable wattage, though: bad or inefficient coils are what they are, and no power-delivery system can fix them. Likewise, the battery can't convince...

    Vaping Hypocricy?

    (Emphasis mine.) That may very well be true. It's also true that if you put two human beings in a sufficiently under-ventilated space together, the accumulation of carbon dioxide exhaled by both parties will eventually asphyxiate them. As you point out, though, that's not a useful...

    Vaping Hypocricy?

    To be clear, I'm not posting those links to judge Australia or Australians. I'm posting the links to point out that yes, there are external forces at work to enact various policies like the vaping bans that started this discussion, and yes, those forces exist in every country. It was your...
