    Finally got to say I vape therefore I have no light

    Excellent! :) That's going to be one of the most effective ways that we can educate the world about vaping. If I were a smoker who wanted to learn about it, I'd consider a direct conversation with a vaper to be worth more than ten accurate internet articles.

    My Three Month Milestone!

    Thanks everybody! :) See? This is what's so great about the internet and ECF. I've only been here a few weeks, and I've already got thousands of heroes to follow and learn from that I never knew existed. Yay! We're vaping anniversary buddies! (Well, next January we will be, anyway.)...

    Vaping and Cartiovascular Disease - What will my Cardiologist Say?

    It's subject is quite relevant to the thread topic. And to challenge someone making a claim associated with vaping for which evidence may not have been posted is not only relevant, but also very important if we are going to rally enough people, vapers or not, to prevent the government from...

    Juice "steeping"??

    I let all of my juices breathe for 48 hours as soon as I receive them. Then I let them steep for two weeks. If there are any I don't like, then I steep them for longer until I do like them. If there are any I still don't like, then I send them to Flavored to add to the CASAA sign-up freebies...

    Vaping and Cartiovascular Disease - What will my Cardiologist Say?

    The onus is with the claimant. When I make a claim, I am obligated to prove it, retract it or lose credibility. The same goes for everyone else. But do you know the collective knowledge of every human being? If not, then you wouldn't know that "no one knows". Maybe no one knows, or maybe...

    My Three Month Milestone!

    I had my last stinky on January 16th. Needless to say (because I'm sure I've said it many times elsewhere in ECF), I am absolutely in love with vaping. Everything about it. Convenience: Fill a tank, charge a battery, and I'm good for most of the day. Amusement: I'm a bit of gadget junkie...

    Vaping and Cartiovascular Disease - What will my Cardiologist Say?

    The first thing I do when provided with possible evidence to support a claim is to confirm the source. The links you provided are from the NIH and UC Berkeley, both of which I would trust. Then the date of the information. Of the reports you link, one is 11 years old and the other is 12 years...

    Vaping and Cartiovascular Disease - What will my Cardiologist Say?

    In scenarios such as yours, I protect myself with a simple credibility check based on the principle that the onus is on the claimant to prove any claim that isn't already an axiom. Failure to prove a claim accompanied by a failure to retract or correct the claim means a loss of credibility for...

    What is wrong with you?

    Money isn't the only thing you can donate to help CASAA. I'm not exactly flush with coin, myself, but this week I'm sending them 6 bottles of MBV e-juices that I'm not going to use. My man Flavored and his brethren use such donations as free gifts for new people who join CASAA. more incentive...

    a terrible waste

    OK, Here's how to prevent this issue from ever recurring. (1) Buy one of these... (2) Lock your husband inside it. (3) Your juice is safe! I don't know how nimble your husband is, but he'll likely find it VERY difficult to ever reach your juices from inside this safe.

    What If? Would you go back to analogs?

    Quite true. I realized I wasn't clear in my last post. I would not only break an unjust law, I would force my will upon anyone who would physically interfere with my ability to stand to my principles. I would do everything humanly possible to keep such an encounter civil, and only if there...

    What If? Would you go back to analogs?

    :thumbs: One thing I will never do is beg the government's permission for anything. What you've written, though, is similar to one of my principles. It's sort of a "deal" I have single-handedly made with any level of government I will ever encounter. I will never break a law beyond traffic...

    What's with the cloud chasing?

    That's very cool of you and your friends to help him, and it's great that he'll (hopefully) be quitting smoking because of his interest in the art of cumulonimbus vaporis. ;) Just be sure to tell him that he shouldn't do big clouds out in public so that the anti-vapers won't have any more...

    The word "stinkies"

    I'm pretty sure my page 9 life story wouldn't have been nearly as amusing if I had used "analogs". :p

    You ever broken your PV? or tank etc?

    :laugh: Unfortunately, I can't say my USB charger was deciding its own fate. I'm afraid I simply murdered it. Well, I didn't mean to, so I guess it was actually negligent homicide. No less sad, though. :cry:

    Saw someone with my exact setup...

    Did you run home to make sure you hadn't been robbed? You're going to have trouble getting that to stick to the MVP.

    You ever broken your PV? or tank etc?

    I haven't broken my PV (my PV's not A, unfortunately :( ), which is to say, I haven't been vaping long enough to break it. But just a couple of hours ago, my USB charger came apart in my hand. I reassembled it, holding it together for a moment to test it in order to make sure I hadn't broken...

    Giving up on e-cigarette

    I'm apparently not seeing the problem that many others here are seeing. The OP has no ANTZ/trolling history I'm aware of, and he doesn't seem to be against anyone else vaping. He didn't smoke, so has a lower starting incentive to vape in the first place than those of us who wanted to save...

    The word "stinkies"

    I just realized I'm two days away from my Three-Month Mark. :D It's hard to believe I haven't had a stinky in 89 days. When I was younger, I never would have thought I could go nearly that long without a stinky. I read this article that said if you go more than a week without having a...

    What's with the cloud chasing?

    I don't have the gear for anything close to actual "cloud chasing". But I do enjoy the fact that my little Triton VV pushing 4.1v into 1.9Ω (~8.8w) gives me a nice sized cloud with a satisfying moment of opaqueness. I never blow a fat cloud when outside my own home, and never when anyone else...
