    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    I assumed most all life long vapers would be mixing and rebuilding. Doesn't seem to be that way even with the current threats. But what I'm noticing is legislatures considering flavor bans and backing off when the realize may be menthol cigarettes also need to be banned and that tax money is...

    Update from Fast Tech

    I've bought most of my hardware from FT since 2015, several dozen orders. I've had a couple of product issues that were resolved. I'm not worried about them. They want our trust and the problem is not the Black Plague.

    Update from Fast Tech

    In other words nobody has a clue when FT will be running again. I have a warranty issue pending and some stuff in the cart waiting for me to pull the trigger. I have a silly amount of gear now but, I admit, it's fun and still cost a tiny fraction of what I could have spent smoking.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    May be we call their bluff. "Hey, kids? The health experts say ecigs are worse for you than cigarettes so if you care about your heallth smoke cigarettes instead of using ecigs. We know this is true because they are taking ecigs off the shelf but cigarettes are still for sale."

    Warning! Don't try squonking

    At first was put off by squonk mods because all the ones I knew about were mechanical and cost a premium. Today I'm using an original Pico squeeze and the Vandy Vape with TC and plastic body. I like them both but have to be more careful to avoid leaking with the Squeeze. The Vandy Vape mod...

    What is going on with LG?

    I can think of two possibilities, LG made too many and wants to clear them out. Another possibility is they made a substandard batch. What I gather is making these kinds of batteries is part science and part art. I believe they are typically tested and graded and the best of the best go to...

    Who is our longest term vaper? Relates to long term effects

    The health care system pretends their pills make people healthier when they don't. We were probably better off when everybody knew that the only option was healthy living. Sure the elites can try to ignore the problems but it's eventually a threat to them too. The system needs to incentivize...

    Cigarette free for 8 years, Vap free for 7 weeks

    I quit cold turkey and relapsed after 10 years. As long as I'm vaping that won't happen again. In the mean time I enjoy vaping, it's free, don't see any health reason to stop, and not sure how hard that would be.

    Who is our longest term vaper? Relates to long term effects

    For the 6 months of summer I walked 2 x 1 hours daily. Resting heart rate declined from low 60's to low 50's. Over two years of better diet and exercise lowered blood pressure from low 160's to low 120's. The way I see it stopping smoking was necessary before I would ever do the other things...

    Coronavirus and ordering from China

    FT stocks a percent of what they sell but not all. Products not in stock may be scarce for a while.

    Who is our longest term vaper? Relates to long term effects

    Stopping smoking didn't make me healthy, just less unhealthy. I think the best thing vapers can do to defend vaping is finish the job, diet, exercise, lose the weight, look the part.

    Are you done stocking up?

    What I like about the Pico form factor is ease of pocket carry and steath. The taller mods are okay at home and in the car but not great on foot.

    Who is our longest term vaper? Relates to long term effects

    I switched to vaping 5 1/2 years ago after smoking a carton a week for 40 of the previous 50 years. Last April got a lung exam and xray, all A ok. For the past 2 years reformed diet, low carb, and exercise, 1.5 - 2 hours of low heart rate aerobic training daily and 90 minutes of lifting...

    Coronavirus and ordering from China

    I heard a report that Shenzen is now "shut down" by the government. People won't be going to work and all forms of shipping are disrupted. I suspect employees won't be returning to Fastech on Feb 10th. American retailers may find their orders are delayed too.

    Are you done stocking up?

    Listening to updates about coronavirus economic impacts. One of the items mentioned is Shenzen is "shut down". So if you have anything going on with Fastech it may be in limbo for a while. Apparently most all forms of shipping are also disrupted.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I got the pico x because I can find the fire button with a gloved hand. I'm interested in the swag ii because it has a bigger deck.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I'm having the same Pico screen problem you report and was hoping they would be the backbone of my stash. The next closest mod is the Pico X, which uses a different chipset. Might be worth getting one of those for a trial. Does anyone here have a Swag II? Is that one worth considering?

    Are you done stocking up?

    Coronavirus is already effecting the vape market. FT is closed until at least the 10th. Sales are lost. The manufacturers see lower orders. All this on top of uncertainty about the US market. What happens to retail prices?
