    obamacare and vaping?

    Right. The problem with sin taxes is that at some point the revenue from them becomes an end in itself. What may have started as an altruistic endeavor to discourage harmful behavior inevitably becomes little more than a politically expedient source of cash to fund the pet project du jour --...

    obamacare and vaping?

    That really is chilling -- a shameless money grab wrapped in pandering, do-gooder packaging. It's no surprise that such a bill, purporting to fund education through a massive tax increase on all tobacco and nicotine-delivery products*, would come from Democrats. You may very well be right...

    obamacare and vaping?

    Yeah, at best the ACA implicitly rubber stamps the insurance companies' established policy of de-facto discrimination against nicotine users. To argue otherwise on the basis that the ACA doesn't explicitly equate vaping with smoking is, I think, naive. That said, BuGlen is absolutely right to...

    Halo Juice + Cold Beer What's Your Preference?

    Ha, I thought you meant that Turkish is so good that you'd happily vape it even with a urine chaser. :) Bunny piss -- I'll have to add that to my vocabulary.

    OMG dont tell my husband!

    Yeah, it's easy to get carried away with juices. On the other hand, having a lot of juice around can save you in the long run. When I did my tally, I came up with about $386 in equipment costs -- but that's for both me and the wife, and frankly (don't tell her!) it could have been a lot less...

    Triton VV thoughts

    Yeah, it seems like variable voltage is just a matter of consistency. Regular Tritons, for example, start at about 4.2 Volts at full charge and slowly decline to ~3.3 Volts before you have to plug them back in. (All numbers pulled from memory.) So if you're the kind of person who notices a...

    The danger of too many options

    Heh, well in retrospect I think maybe my post sounded a little more argumentative than I intended. Thanks for not taking it that way. And you're right, the matter does seem to boil down to individual preference. In my case, it feels natural to place the PV on its side in large part because I...

    Newbie need help with halo triton

    The threading on Halo products (808/vGo) is not strictly proprietary, it's just rarer than 510/eGo threading. That said, the mouthpiece threading is a different animal from the tank/battery threading. Kanger T2 tips work just fine on Triton tanks, by all accounts. You can buy replacements...

    Hostility towards other methods of quitting and a thank you to my fellow ECF members.

    The FDA may not be directly in bed with Big Tobacco, but whether they realize it or not, heavy regulations favor Big Tobacco at the expense of all of the smaller and higher-quality vaping manufacturers and vendors which we all presently know and love. Big Tobacco would like nothing better than...

    Juice preferences - can you know what you'll like before you try?

    You can't know. You can only guess. In my case, I got lucky on the first guess; since I used to smoke Camels, I picked up a bunch of Turkish Tobacco e-liquid from Halo on my first big order. As it turned out, "Turkish Tobacco" didn't taste like tobacco at all to me, but it's bleeping...

    Hostility towards other methods of quitting and a thank you to my fellow ECF members.

    Hostility towards other smoking-cessation products? No. Morbid amusement at the pharmaceutical companies' hypocrisy? Oh yeah. The hostility is all on their side -- or rather, the callous and self-absorbed disregard for others. We are the bullied, not the bullies. Worry more about what the...

    obamacare and vaping?

    Nope. The Democrats controlled both House and Senate in 2009-2010, when the Affordable Health Care Act passed. 111th United States Congress - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (EDIT: That said, AFAIK there were a handful of Republican votes in the Senate -- I think four, but don't quote me on...

    How many halo batts do you own?

    After receiving my red Tritons in the mail the other day, I think I grock what Seapup's saying about the purple one. The battery has the same quasi-rubbery finish as my black Tritons, but there's a ... depth to the color that's really fascinating, sorta like a really expensive car paint job...

    Alien Vapors, BEWARE!

    Certainly no expert, but I've enjoyed both Halo's Malibu and Mount Baker Vapor's Pina Colada.

    Alien Vapors, BEWARE!

    Yup, a marketing strategy based on an Eddy Murphy movie. Too bad it works.

    Quitting Smoking Saves Money? I Think Not

    Based on what I've read of his posts on this forum, I'd hire Baditude in a heartbeat if I ran a vaping related business.

    The danger of too many options

    Gotta say, as a top-coil-using neophyte, I don't quite understand why the gravity issue is so important. When I'm not using my PV, I rest it on its side; when I take a pull from my PV, i usually hold it parallel with the floor, not pointing downward. I can't honestly say that I don't...
