    Supreme Court overturns smoking ban. (Bullitt County Ky.)

    As do I. We should start a crowdfunding effort to take a few small municipalities to court. These cases should be filed in municipalities with the least available resources to sustain a protracted fight (Stockton, CA, Detroit, MI, Desert Hot Springs, CA, etc..). The idea would be to file...

    flavor % question

    I've been making a really nice peaches & cream. 4% TFA Juicy Peach / 6% TFA Sweet Cream. I add 5% distilled water. Try it with 4% strawberry and see how it goes.

    DIY Nicotine liquid making me sick

    My guess is that your nic is way stronger than you think it is.

    Senate Dems Boxer, Durbin, Blumenthal, Harkin, Brown, Markey, Reed urge US DOT to ban “smoking” of e-cigs on planes

    Interesting. I thought I was already breaking the rules vaping on airplanes.

    sign of bad PG or VG?

    I have been lowering my percentages over the last several batches. I've been loving the TFA fruits at 5%-6%, and I may go even lower on the next batch. I agree with all of this. When I first dropped a few of my flavors to 6%, I thought that they were a little weak. They tasted good, so I vaped...

    Mostly VG causing sinus issues?

    I was having a problem with very dry sinuses until I started adding 3% distilled water to my mixes. I typically make my mixes (PG/VG) 50/50, 60/40, or 65/35 (sweeter recipes get more VG).

    The ethics of "Made in USA" on clones

    I agree with you 100%. I would be fine with it if it said, "Made in U.S.A. - Cloned in China" on it. I need to buy you a beer sometime. Give me a shout if you ever visit the bay area (the real one. The one that goes from Jamestown to Delaware. Not that copycat one out west. We were here first).

    Not pleased with TFA

    I really don't have a "normal" ratio, but they are generally in the 50/50 (PG/VG) to 70/30 range. I've never gone above 50% VG because to me, too much VG feels like it leaves a heavy film in my throat. Apparently, I am not sensitive to PG as seems common around here. Watermelon is a very...

    Does everyone remember there vape date?

    I remember. My wife asked me to quit on November 1, 2013. I stopped in the vape store on Halloween night and bought my starter kit. That was a Thursday. The following Wednesday morning, November 6th, I smoked my last analog walking my garbage cans from the curb to the back of the house. I...

    Not pleased with TFA

    I have both Blueberry Wild and Blueberry Extra. I am not sure which one I was playing with, but at 5%, it tasted just like real blueberries right out of the field. When I mixed it at 8%, it tasted awful. The moral of the story, percentages matter. If it tastes that bad, you have to ask...

    Steeping changes

    I would try it again at 2% menthol (which still seems too high to me, BTW) and 4% cool mint and see if it tastes better. You could make up some unflavored 11 mg base and cut the current batch in half to see if it helps...

    Not pleased with TFA

    Okay. You are almost where you need to be. Waiting - Once you have a couple of mixes you like, make up enough of them to last 4 days to a week. Then, mix up some that you can let set for a week. Next week, break open that batch, and make more. The idea is to always have some waiting in the...

    Baltimore, MD - Indoor Use Ban & retail placement

    Sent. "This legislation will reduce the amount of money that I spend in the city, as I will surely visit less if my ability to remain smoke free is restrained. My time and money will go to the areas of Maryland that allow me to improve my health using this miraculous device." and "I urge you...

    Have you ever calcualted how much you spend each day, week, or month on vaping?

    I've been vaping for 197 days. I am also a geek that tracks everything. I started DIYing 2 months after I started vaping. Prior to vaping, I was rolling my own cigarettes and spending approx $80/month smoking. In 6.7 months, I have spent a total of $690.28 on vaping for a cost of $102.52/mo...

    Another FOX News / Greg Gutfeld positive eCig story.

    That is truly disappointing.

    Another FOX News / Greg Gutfeld positive eCig story.

    Mr. Gutfeld and The Five Strike again! They are calling it like it is now. They see the same motives as we do behind all of this madness. Bill Godshell and CASAA really should reach out to these folks.

    A Letter From My Congresswoman

    Precisely! I don't think that they were (are) prepared to deal with such a conundrum. It actually does what they said that they really wanted, which is to get people to stop smoking. They really did not want people to quit. They wanted them to pay taxes out the wazoo, while staying out of...

    UPDATE 6/25/14! NJ Gov. Chris Christie proposes taxing e-cigs at rate equal to $2.70/pack cigarette tax + other issues

    Credit cards can be used for a lot of things that are unsuitable for minors. It would seem to be a better solution to either limit minors access to credit cards, or provide cards that are identifiable as belonging to minors via number, or card name, instead of trying to regulate thousands of...

    UPDATE 6/25/14! NJ Gov. Chris Christie proposes taxing e-cigs at rate equal to $2.70/pack cigarette tax + other issues

    So if this tax goes into effect, that would be sufficient "evidence" that Christie IS in fact, responsible for it? He signs it, he owns it.

    33% of UK vapers have quit smoking

    Impossible! Didn't anyone tell the folks doing that study that the infallible government of the United States said flat out that "eCigs are not a smoking cessation product"? Who are they to question that? Oh... Not "sheeple". I get it now.
