    ATTN! If you took the "Ecig User Poll" PLEASE READ!!

    No offense meant as well, I have no problem doing the poll. But I also have a part ownership interest in Credit Bureau/Medical Billing/Collection Agency and with the info you are asking to provide along with the proper search engine I could easily start culling Social Security #'s and assuming...

    Another inexpensive PS Passthru Option

    Hi Lotus; You know what I just realized. The paypal link works for me only if I'm using Internet Explorer. If I use Safari or Moxzilla, it doesn't work. I sent an email to Steve Campbell to tell him about this. Send an email to him at tas.electronics@hotmail.com or call him at 469-744-4887 to...

    Another inexpensive PS Passthru Option

    As of today, the Paypal link on the NEW USB adapter/DC adapter device IS working and the item can be purchased. Again, goto this page: USB Power Adapter and it's the 3rd item down from the top(the black multi voltage adapter 6.5-15V plus a 1.5 amp(although it says 2amp) 5V USB port)...

    Another inexpensive PS Passthru Option

    to buGG: You can use the adjustable DC 6.5V -15V option if you can find an appropriate adapter to mate with one of the 5 included DC attachments to turn it into a female USB port. The USB port on the device only provides 5V at 1.5amp and is not adjustable. Even if I could find such an...

    Another inexpensive PS Passthru Option

    Since the gentlemen(Steve) sold out of this popular, inexpensive USB adapter: USB Dual Power Adapter I decided to see if other inexpensive adaptors he had for sale would work, and one other one did. Although it is not as compact as the above USB Dual adapter, and it only has one 1.5amp(not...

    Protege Venting / Safety

    The battery you're referencing is a multi-cell battery module(in this case 2 cell). Multi cell Lithium batteries are inherently more unstable and require a PCB circuit to manage the minor inconsistencies between the cells that can cause problems you don't see in single cell batteries. All...

    I am so glad I never gave you any money.

    That is actually BECAUSE of a law called the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994(DSHEA). It was designed(and lobbied for strongly by the dietary supplement industry) to not destroy the burgeoning health/natural product market in the early to mid 90's, by not requiring them to...

    Anyone Found RY4 Flavor?

    Neither PG or Glycerin are technically FDA approved for inhalation in the manner or concentrations utilized in e-cig vaping. Both, however, are used and approved for use, in much lower concentrations, in inhalation dosage forms such as inhalers and nebulizer solutions. Apparently, (although...

    Eissenberg study

    From what I've heard there was a control analog smoking group but at this point that is just innuendo as is all the information in the CNN article. As I said in another thread concerning this article, until the actual clinical study is published in a peer reviewable journal for all to see, we...

    From CNN.com Today/Eissenberg study with feedback

    As a healthcare professional, I would like to actually SEE the study(methodolgy, sample size, randomization, controls, actual data, etc...) before coming to any conclusions. I know the placebo effect does exist and can be quite powerful. Without seeing the actual study, it does also seem to back...

    Uh Oh! Server is too busy error again

    This is now 2nd time this has happened in less then a week. Hope this is just a temporary glitch as I can't go back to 2 months ago when "server too busy" error happened 10+ times a day.

    class action against the FDA and Health Canada

    If you can find an attorney that will actually take the case on a completely contingent basis(money paid is ONLY used for legitimate legal expenses) I'd pay $10. However, to pay an attorney $500+ an hour who knows the case is going to get thrown out almost immediately after it's filed, is...

    class action against the FDA and Health Canada

    The doctrine of Sovereign Immunity would not allow us to sue the FDA since it is a part of the Federal Government. Only in certain cases where the Government has waived their sovereign immunity is suing the Federal Gov. allowed. Even if we could sue the FDA and win, any payout by the FDA...

    protege usb extension problem

    Just got a reading of 2.6 ohms (outer pins of the original 1st generation PS USBPass with a 510 wet atty). Wow, pulling about 1.92 amps, that's close.

    protege usb extension problem

    Thanks for the input buGG. Yeah the 2 adapters are the same, so there should be no problem with them. It would seem highly unlikely that 2 would blow in succession. As buGG said, save the 3rd until you figure out what's going on for sure, as they are definitely great adapters and well worth the...

    There must have been something wrong with his Protege then, because, as you said, those 2Amp USB adapters definitely work and work well.

    Get ur PT USB adapter now or never!!!!!

    As an FYI I just saw in another thread linked here: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/puresmoker/67953-protege-usb-extension-problem.html#post1007391 That, apparently, the Fry Rhino USB adapters are NOT the same as the original 2amp USB adapters: USB Dual Power Adapter I had...

    protege usb extension problem

    Hey Jas, I'm really sorry about the FRY adapter's. I was just passing along info that someone had brought up in another thread(that the FRY Rhino were the exact same as a similar looking 2amp adapter that is no longer in stock from the original seller). The original 2AMP adapters worked...
