    Old school- anyone still wash out Cartos?

    I used to use a dremel to make slots in the cartos. Then there was the use of the ice maker line puncher to punch holes in cartos. I never had much luck with that. You could buy carto punchers as well. The DIY carto tanks did work very well. I'm glad I have RTAs now though!

    Old school- anyone still wash out Cartos?

    Haha, the good old days. I tried bundling mine together with a rubber band and swinging them in a sock. Then I'd dry the rest of the way in a food dehydrator. I still have a few packages of boge cartos in my apocalypse box. I sold quite a few at a vape meet, but the guy who bought them didn't...

    Eliquid or nicotine taste like ferrets?

    How odd. I used to have pet ferrets. We always thought that their armpits smelled like Fritos. Even though I lover ferrets, I don't think I'd want to vape that flavor. I'd look for another source of liquid :)

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I usually make a point of saying in my letters and emails that I am fine. I am stocked up. It is all the other smokers who will be hurt. I try to say it a little more eloquently, but that's the gist. I never say _I_ will go back to smoking, but the sad fact is that many probably will. People...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Speaking of vagueness... I had something in the letter I wrote to Senator Johnson along that line. It had more to do with FDA issuing these regulations, but having no idea what they were actually looking for. I mean, as far as I know they haven't issued any specifications, like less than x ppm...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I saw a post somewhere, maybe here or maybe facebook, where a vape shop had provided letters, envelopes, and stamps and were collecting letters from customers to send off. I know that form letters aren't as memorable, but I thought this was a good idea to drum up letters from people who might...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I spent a lot of time going over the annual reports a few years ago, but I don't know what I did with my summary of it. Very informative, and loooonnng.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Right, I was talking about media reports and spun statistics. Also, I'm not implying that it's fine and dandy for kids to be able to get into nicotine. It should definitely be kept out of their reach (like laundry pods, cigarettes, nicotine gum, medications, bleach, ammonia, toilet bowl...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I also adore the statistics, "reports of nicotine poisonings in children have increased eleventy billion percent since 2010" or something like that. It's like saying "airplane crashes increased 8 bazillion percent from 1902 to 1912". Also, they never mention what happened with these 'reports'...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I'm sort of in the same boat as Ocelot. My views on many things are strongly liberal. Pro-choice, pro gay marriage/rights, I do think that people on hard times sometimes need help getting back on their feet and not everyone can pull themselves up by the bootstraps, I think some sort of health...

    Stocking vape supplys

    I had looked at pure nic, but couldn't find any that was really less expensive (price per mg) than buying 100mg/ml (at least not from a company that looked legit to me). The only advantage of 99+% would be to save freezer space, but that space saving is MORE than offset by the disadvantages of...

    Do the cravings ever go away?

    I do think everyone is different. I have a friend who is currently attempting e-cigs and at this moment her cravings are not being met. Unfortunately, she is long distance and I can't meet up with her to let her try out some other things. OTOH, my cravings went away almost immediately, even...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I still think there is merit to the idea that the fact FDA was not allowed to treat e-cigs as a drug product (per the Judge Leon ruling), yet issued deeming regs that essentially require pharma model testing, could be used as a very valid argument against. This was brought to mind again today...

    Sweet- Rob Portman is one of my Senators and I just mailed off a letter to him today. Wish I'd known about this first, but that's okay...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I I am also a dem and I just wrote a (real snail mail) letter to Sherrod Brown expressing why he is dead wrong about this and how it will affect my vote in the future.

    How was the battle won for harm reduction for clean needles, etc...? Never mind- I actually see after googling that that battle wasn't actually won.

    On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

    Either would really be disastrous for kids to get into, so IMO it's better to get the 100 mg/ml and invest extra time and any savings on further child proofing.
