    Toying with my emotions

    In the case of vaping, the "source" is usually a "study" or some nonsense a politician said. However different media companies may interpret that differently but all of that particular company's outlets usually spin it the same way. Of course I understand media companies don't have time to...

    Toying with my emotions

    Two things. First you have to check if there is any relation to those sources. Nearly all media sources are controlled by just 5 or 6 total conglomerates. If they are all owned by the same conglomerate then that is not agreement, it is the same source. If they are not all owned by the same...

    Seeking relief from nicotine addiction, some e-cigarette users turn to smoking

    I'd like to think I could just quit if I ran out of nic base to mix with and could no longer obtain it. If it turned out I couldn't, I would grow my own tobacco and just chew it before I smoked again. I actually considered this before I found vaping.

    Thanks. That could indeed be good news.

    Cannabis Forum

    It is still technically illegal here., but my brother in law is going through the Police Academy right now and he said they were told they are no longer enforcing any possession charges for cannabis unless it is in a large enough amount to be considered "for distribution purposes". I know lack...

    Petition to stop flavor ban.

    I don't allow scripts from Twitter to run on my PC what there an actual tweet? If so could you please post the text of it or a screenshot would work too?

    Flavor ban?

    At this point it does not appear that DIY will be affected since they have not said anything about buying nic base used for mixing. I doubt those companies will shut down. They will just start selling the "approved flavors". If your husband doesn't like tobacco flavored ecigs then I strongly...

    More media madness!

    I don't watch any of them on any channel. All of those major "news" channels have so much BS I have to wonder if they were all secretly bought out by The Onion. You can get more hard hitting "journalism" from the likes of John Oliver or John Stewart.

    Seeking relief from nicotine addiction, some e-cigarette users turn to smoking

    I guess it depends on how you define "anti-vaping zealots". To me that is the "puppet masters" as you call them. People like Stanton Glantz, Dick Durbin, Michael Bloomberg, etc. and they know exactly what they are doing and what the result will be. I don't consider the talking heads as...

    Seeking relief from nicotine addiction, some e-cigarette users turn to smoking

    That's just it. They DO know what they are doing. They have a financial interest in make people go back to smoking. They are getting exactly what they wanted.

    Here we go....

    The media is the most powerful branch of government. They can literally control what people believe and are in support of. Hide and watch, they will try to damage the economy over the course of the next 6 months or so by "predicting" all sorts of gloom and doom to try and influence the next...

    CALLING ON THE VAPING COMMUNITY TO CONTACT PRESIDENT TRUMP

    Calling the White House is pointless. His lackeys will filter everything and he will not get any messages. If you want Trump to hear you, you MUST use Twitter, follow him and create a clever attention grabbing hashtag. This is how you directly get his attention. While I hate how he uses twitter...

    What does this ban mean for the rest of the world?

    You are correct. However losing 100% of the US market will no doubt cause many businesses to close down completely due to that lost revenue. Some will no doubt survive but it's all going to be based on each individual business model and how much revenue they get from exports vs domestic sales...

    What does this ban mean for the rest of the world?

    Then my suggestion would be to stock up while you can. We will not be able to predict global impact. It may be your country starts importing from somewhere else like the UK that seems to have more sense than the US or maybe your country stops being able to import flavored juice at all. You may...

    What does this ban mean for the rest of the world?

    The real question is will "unflavored" be allowed or not. If it is, then all you would need to do is buy the unflavored juice and then buy "flavor shots". This is already happening in other countries.

    We need nation-wide protests against the flavor ban!!!

    While I agree 100%, sadly the clowns running against him only seem to care about the people that DON'T live here and appear to be just as difficult to reason with. I am starting to think that it requires a certain amount of insanity to even run for President, regardless of party.

    A general rant to clear my frustration... (re: the ban)

    Indeed. This is why they are legalizing "the green". They want a more easily controlled population. That isn't why they are against ecigs though. That is 100% about the money.

    A general rant to clear my frustration... (re: the ban)

    This is one of the reasons I don't fear death. Once I get to heaven I know there won't be any politicians or lawyers there to screw it up.

    Head Democrat Orders FDA Director to Ban E-cigs or Resign

    At this point raw nic is still not being targeted. As long as you have a few mods and some rebuildible tanks and have learned to DIY juice I think you are ahead of the game. I do have several years worth in my freezer but I wasn't intentionally trying to stock up. However my wife now vapes zero...
