    Ignorant question regarding menthol

    If I were still smoking menthols and they were banned, I expect I'd be doing something like that too. I mean a 4-oz bag of menthol crystals for $10 would probably last a very long time.

    Ignorant question regarding menthol

    I'm not in favor of banning much of anything, so I hope you are correct. To each their own. :) That is of course, one of the great things about what vaping used to be, and still is, for most of us here who've made ourselves FDA-proof.

    Ignorant question regarding menthol

    The catch, at least in principle, is if they change anything, and certainly if the introduce a new brand, they need to go through the PMTA process. I started out smoking menthols. I lived in West Philly at the time, and menthols were popular there. Also, they were what my mother smoked...

    Ignorant question regarding menthol

    I wonder how effective such bans are in terms of reducing smoking among people who preferred menthol cigs?

    Ignorant question regarding menthol

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't a couple of states already banned them?

    Ignorant question regarding menthol

    Since you won't take Wikipedia's word for it, let's try Encyclopedia Britannica: Menthol, terpene alcohol with a strong minty, cooling odour and taste. It is obtained from peppermint oil or is produced synthetically by hydrogenation of thymol. Oh, and for laughs...

    Ignorant question regarding menthol

    Funny, I've never heard of a plant called "menthol". According to Wikipedia: Menthol is an organic compound, more specifically a monoterpenoid, made synthetically or obtained from the oils of corn mint, peppermint, or other mints.

    Are you done stocking up?

    What, are you rainbow-phobic or something? :laugh:

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    DIY'ing a mod is pretty easy. E.g. 3/4" ID pipe will happily hold an 18650. Want it conductive? Use copper. Want it non-conductive? Use PVC. DYI'ing atties and 510 connectors is much more difficult. At the very least, everyone should have a 510 thread (M7 x 0.5) tap & die set...

    FLORIDA – STOP A BIG TOBACCO PROTECTION ACT!

    Utterly inconceivable that these things are somehow related, right?

    Ten Years Ago Today...

    Haha! There is an unopened pack of Camel Turkish Silver from the last carton I bought in December of 2013 in the desk drawer next to me. I expect they'd be pretty nasty by now. But one of the things that helped me a lot is that I've never ever forbidden myself from having a cig if I...

    FLORIDA – STOP A BIG TOBACCO PROTECTION ACT!

    ... to anyone but them, since they or their affiliates have the only PMTA-authorized products. :mad:

    My personal opinion on flavor bans

    It does. I've been vaping unflavored more than anything else for many years now. But unflavored (or tobacco flavored) doesn't have the "Wow, this tastes really good and I'd much rather puff on this than smoke a cigarette" factor that helps so many people quit smoking. I don't think flavor...

    Stressed battery?

    I'm not familiar with that specific battery, but let's say you're running that 0.93 ohm coil at a full 4.2V. It would only drawing 4.52 amps. There's no way that should be stressing any battery claiming to be "high drain".

    Not quite Four Weddings and a Funeral ... but close!

    Wow... Has Svoëmesto lost their way? I have an OG KFL Lite Plus on my shelf. I hadn't touched it in ~9 years because I went all bottom-feeding, all the time by the fall of 2014. I just grabbed it and took it all apart. No problems at all disassembling it with my bare hands.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I don't have a vapocalypse box. I just have a bunch of spare mods (all mech squonkers) and some spare internal parts for them. The mods I use the most have all been in service since 2015, The one that I use the most goes everywhere with me. It has developed a bit of "character"; some...

    5th Circuit Victory for Vapor Industry

    BTW, did anyone else read the whole thing, including the dissent? The latter is a pathetic ANTZ diatribe. "As I discuss more fully below, the e-cigarettes are not safe. Just as being shot in the stomach might be less likely to cause death than being shot in the head, but neither one is...
