    Any one want to sell me some juice near STL.

    Hi, Todd . . . I don't have any Johnson Creek, but I have plenty of liquids, and I'm happy to share. I live in Wildwood. The liquids I use range from 2.4% (24 mg) to 3.6% (36 mg), and I have an insane number of flavors. PM me if you need something. I hope you'll come by SidePockets in St...

    St.Louis Gathering Saturday, July 16th

    I do hope you'll be able to make it to one of the meets in the not-so-distant future, Dalton. We always have a blast. For those traveling a good distance, we generally are able to find a free place to crash locally so that you can enjoy the fun and not have to face a super long drive back...

    FOIA Request Results (Open Government Advocacy by CASAA members)

    Believe it or not, I wasn't trying to quit when I bought an e-cig . . . I had quit so many times before that I finally decide that if it's "quit or die," I guess I'm going to die. :( Actually, I bought the e-cig in a desperate attempt to at least cut back on what had become a 2+ pack-a-day...

    I pretty much agree with everything you've said. My personal experience is that less than half of the people who try e-cigs will eventually make a complete transition to vaping. There are, of course, some factors that will increase the odds of success (good equipment, mentoring, and social...

    I don't suppose it's occurred to Ms. Henson that someone who successfully transitioned from smoking to vaping wouldn't be at one of her meetings? :facepalm: But be it as it may, I do agree that multiple unsuccessful quit attempts take a toll. I got to the point where I felt like a...

    Strategy for blocking anti legislation

    And yet another bump for CASAA . . . . I've been a member of CASAA since its formation in 2009. When I think about the battles that we've faced against opponents who have infinitely more funding and more foot soldiers than we do, I am amazed at how incredibly successful and effective CASAA...

    Has this been responded to??

    In addition to all the great observations noted above, I'll add that as far as I'm aware, the nicotine we use with our e-liquids is not "synthetic." The cost of manufacturing synthetic nicotine is much higher than the cost of extracting it from the tobacco plant.

    I find Bridget Vandeventer's 4/14/11 email particularly interesting: It's a shame that some of the Tacoma officials see this as a battle involving strategy instead of an opportunity to have an informed discussion leading to a better understanding of the issue. This attitude is evidenced in...

    MTSU stamps out...

    I have been on a plane 6 times in the last month and a half. I vaped on all of my flights. I kept my PV (eGo battery with LR306 atomizer) on my lap. When I lifted it to my mouth, I didn't hide it. I did, however, take shorter than usual puffs and held the vapor in for longer than usual...

    LOL. I'm doing this on an Android tablet, and I'm still trying to figure out the swype-like typing feature. :laugh: I'm getting better, though . . . only took me 5 minutes to correct my post to add that pesky "n." :facepalm:

    Slander is verbal; libel is written. "Publication" and "publish" have very specific meanings in connection with libel laws. And, yes, in some cases, private emails can be libelous . . . sending an email with a libelous statement to someone other than the person being defamed can constitute...

    Opinion piece on smoking and vaping bans (The Guardian, UK)

    Excellent, thought-provoking piece. Thanks for sharing it, Tom.

    Texas smoking ban

    It's no secret that I'm not a fan of far-reaching smoking bans. They become emboldened with their "success" and continue to reach even farther to the point where they (1) ban smoking outdoors, and (2) ban things that kind of sort of look like smoking, neither of which is scientifically based...

    FOIA Request: Bullitt County, Kentucky

    Extraordinarily interesting reading . . . especially p. 24: Kind of scary how misinformed they are . . . propylene glycol a carcinogen? :facepalm: Thanks for doing this. I think it's helpful to find out how those who oppose e-cigarettes are spinning the truth in order to achieve their...

    St. Louis, MO: Regional Monthly Meetings

    Lots of Vapestock stories to share but not much in the way of Vapestock goodies, I'm afraid. I got so busy preparing for the VP Live show that I kind of just breezed through the vendors' tables. On the bright side, ELiquid Planet sent us some liquid love for our gathering. Also, for next meet...

    Vapestock attendees share a bit of love with CASAA

    I was at Vapestock (Clearwater Beach, FL) this weekend, an amazing event hosted by the Suncoast Vapers. It was great to see so many vapers gathered together having fun. Vapestock was designed to be a purely social event with no profit motive and no fund raising. Accordingly, there was no...

    *WATCH HERE* Updates to the Florida Vapestock June 10-11, 2011 Event *Peace, Love & Vaping*

    I knew Clearwater was going to be beautiful, but I had no idea! As I'm typing this, I'm sitting on the balcony outside my room. I supposedly don't have a room with a view, so can you image what kind of view the more expensive rooms have? All day yesterday, vapers arrived in a steady...
