    With. I think it's maybe called a flange. ETA: I'm not sure why the flangy/ledgy thing was eliminated from V.2 or what other differences there might be other than, as I recently learned, the V.1 drip tip hole is a bit larger.

    British slang does pose comprehension challenges for us Yanks. You'll also note that for this to rhyme, "again" must be pronounced like Rex Harrison did in My Fair Lady.

    Read this! Snuffed out - how to get regs wrong, and did pharma play a role?

    BP knows how to get smoking cessation products approved. The deeming regs impose an approval process which is very much like the process for getting drugs and other pharmaceutical products approved. The regs are tailor made for BP. It wouldn't surprise me in the least if a pharmaceutical company...

    Yep, weak sauce. We desperately need an "I am paying for this microphone, Mr. Green!" sound bite.

    Having personally had the misfortune of experiencing the cat barf on pajamas phenomena, I am having a hard time assimilating the connection with Nuppin list arithmetic. But the artistic mind is an elusive enigma. So just put me down for another Nuppin', kind sir, and then let's source another...

    Maybe you should consider ordering another dozen or so. I'll gladly buy a 3rd one if you'll make me a rosewood pinch before the ATF, FDA SWAT unit and FBI smash into your shop wearing night vision goggles and carrying assault weapons.

    I've always idealized Australia as the land of fierce anti-authoritianists--people with a low tolerance for being told what to do.

    We seem to be in a competition with the EU in imposing control over every possible aspect of our existence.

    The first comment I can recall Zeller making about this was, "It's the wild, wild West out there!" If Zeller had been running things back in those days, he would have burned every town and village west of the Mississippi to the ground, blocked all the roads, imposed martial law, and locked up...

    I'm fairly sure that one's mine! I'm seeing a smiling ghost face on the left. ETA: I'm starting to see the writing now too. Not entirely sure, but I think it says, "I'm going to be an amazing mod."

    The FDA knows that these.requirements will stop innovation. They're stupid, but not so stupid as to not know that. It's what they want. If this had been in place a year ago and every manufacturer and juicemaker had submitted the required paperwork.for every change and innovation, the FDA...

    If they're vaping they're not smoking. What is this supposed to mean? Likelihood that they would have quit anyway? When? On the same day they took up vaping or twenty years later when they were diagnosed with COPD?

    I think if I were a maker of drip tips, I'd apply for approval of a few. Say three: red, white and puce. I suppose each would require a separate application. Then I'd "quantify the likelihood that nonsmokers will start using the product" by saying that there is no possible way to quantify it...

    Oh, I'm confident I could do it. I've done more than my share of that sort of thing. But you might have to pay me.;)
