    Looks like Georgia is gonna be Indiana'd

    Yikes, if I'm reading this correctly, it outlaws DIY ... "26-3A-6. 195 (a) It shall be unlawful for any person to mix, bottle, package, or sell e-liquid in this state 196 without having first obtained a manufacturing license from the Commissioner."

    I found an old stash!

    Oh, they went in the stash-supply bowl ... I had thought about ordering some, but that was back when I was furiously trying to figure out where my Chucks had gotten off to :lol:

    I found an old stash!

    Yay! I found my Little Chucks and 2 boxes of 510 atties. Not sure that I'll ever need or use the atties, but the Chucks are nice to have put back in case of vapocalypse.

    I drank some ejuice... Little bit

    Loranns is just as easy to use. That is a single instance anyway. Are we picking nits now? Never should there be any confusion here on ecf that oil is completely incompatible with our uses. It's dangerous to newbies who may not know better. We do and should be clear in what we post so that is...

    Can I rinse out coils?

    Menthols and mints generally permanently taint a coil unless you rewick. Some lighter flavors mix well until the replacement flavor takes over. If you rinse, you should dry as well or you'll be vaping whatever you rinsed with.

    I drank some ejuice... Little bit

    IT'S NOT OIL! Sorry for yelling, but that right there is an extremely dangerous implication that no vaper should ever propagate.

    Exactly! That definition is far too broad.

    What, exactly, makes walnuts, oats, and onions drugs? What is your definition of drug?

    We need a bigger boat.

    So is regular, non-NRT, gum a drug? How about toothpicks? Or pencils/pens? Or rubber bands? Just because something can be used in an effort to quit smoking it does not automagically make that something a drug. BP can market all the NRT products it wishes while colluding with the FDA and call...

    We need a bigger boat.

    So is caffeine a drug? Because nicotine and caffeine are strikingly similar. They are both naturally occurring substances that have an effect on the body. If nicotine is a drug, then caffeine is too. Walnuts are drugs, oats are drugs, onions are drugs ... shall I go on? My definition of drug is...

    Nicotine freeze?

    No, PG and VG do not actually freeze in a deep freeze. They just get thicker.

    Nicotine freeze?

    I've got 2 125 ml bottles in a rarely used cabinet. They've been there for months. I opened the 3rd 125 ml 6 weeks or so ago with no degradation. It's light and oxygen that are of concern. Get it divided and into the freezer, but you should be good to go for a while. My big bottles are in the...

    Nicotine freeze?

    Most vendors will tell you specifically not to freeze premix. Cool, dark cabinet is best. Premix won't last years like unflavored base nic will.

    Nicotine freeze?

    If it's flavored rather than base nicotine, you should have someone pick it up. Base can be frozen with no issues, and the containers, glass or plastic, should be of no concern as well. But premix niquids are not best stored at below freezing.

    We need a bigger boat.

    Agreed about connotations. That is precisely why I think we should adopt ENDS to dilute its meaning. It has happened with more than a handful: calling a woman a b----- used to be particularly pointed, but then some women began to wear the term with pride. Now it's not much of an insult. The...

    We need a bigger boat.

    I'm okay with free market regulation for designs that just don't work. But there are design flaws that could maim or kill that deserve regulations, imho. The same applies to false advertising and marketing exaggeration. Think inaccurate battery specs (internal or external) ... those are the...

    We need a bigger boat.

    All I ever see is "e-cigarette." Nicnik is correct. ENDS goes back to at least 2009 when I started vaping. It was used by the FDA in the case decided by Judge Leon. Any acronym stands out in text, regardless of what acronym it is. Vapers will never gain the necessary distance from cigarettes...

    We need a bigger boat.

    We're being given 2 choices: drug or tobacco. Advocating for another choice is a bigger fight than the one we currently have. I guess I see myself as both a vaping advocate and a harm reduction advocate and don't understand why I have to be one or the other. If people are of the age of majority...

    We need a bigger boat.

    You're descrbing the Darwin Award nominees. If they're not smart enough to also research rather than blindly follow their bros, the lemmings are responsible for their own fate. Poor quality design, false advertising, and marketing exaggeration can be addressed with good regulations. I don't...
