    Tobacco revenues world wide are something like $800 to a trillion dollars. Government takes most of the money. They won't let that money disappear without a struggle.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I've been busy, away from the forum. What mail order places are doing good deals at the moment? I'm in Michigan, shouldn't be worried but decided to finish the nic stash ahead of schedual to improve sleep. Done. Now I'd like to find some hardware in catagories I've ignored these past 5...

    5 years

    I figured out early that things might come to this. Been mixing and rebuilding from early on. Part of the hobby has been provisioning for off-the-grid vaping. I haven't depended on shops for anything except for the first month or two. I'm surprised that mixing and rebuilding isn't the norm...

    New York just banned flavored e-cigs, starting immediately

    There was a message on twitter from somebody close the situation in NY that may be a judge will be granting a delay after all. Chowdbury?

    Vaping completely banned @ Texas A&M University

    I'm usually carrying an original Pico with a small rda on top and have learned to take a puff virtually anywhere. If it's noticed the impact is so minimal nobody cares. It's being called a moral panic. This too shall pass. There was a demonstration in Ohio where 400 showed up. The...

    5 years

    Yesterday, 9/30/19 was the end of 5 years vaping. Tomorrow is the first day of the flavor ban here in Michigan. I imagine Michigan vapers will be going online to see who will ship to them, probably most, especially from China. I feel most sad for the speciality vape shops. Seems to me if the...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I'm in Michigan. I placed an order for 1 liter of 200mg last night, a Sunday. It shipped today, Monday. So far Michigan only bans flavored eliquid and it's not being enforced for a few more days and unflavored nic should be okayy and even when they do enforce my impression is they are only...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Taxes on vape products can never replace a fraction of cigarette taxes. Tax the hardware too high and people go online and only a couple of devices are needed. Eliquid is available online but even restricting online won't be very effective. My DIY experience illustrates the challenge. I...

    ASHAMED

    100's of millions have been spent making Iqos ready for market. It must have it points. I'm not against it. In the mean time I've chosen vaping for a number of reason and won't be changing, there's no reason to. If there is interference with access to product I'll be pushing back.

    Finally, Some Lawsuits

    The Allies didn't win every battle in WWII but eventually won the war. I'm pleasantly suprised to see vapers are upset enough that may be there can be some meaningful political action. As far as I'm concerned vaping saved my life. I'm pushing back against enemies of my health and may be there...

    ASHAMED

    Iqos will probably cost as much as smoking. Once you start a cartridge you have to keep puffing until is done, like a cigarette. I mix and rebuild. Iqos is not my thing but may be it will get people off cigs until they're smart enough to switch to vaping, even lower risk and lower cost...

    Vape shops closing

    I did the math. An ounce of flavoring will last me a year. A 4 oz bottle lasts 4 years, $12. And I buy Capella, the good stuff.

    CDC Finally Saying Stop Vaping THC

    What keeps the door open for politics in the FDA and CDC is the opportunity to leave government service and join a private firm for a handsome pay raise. Exhibit A--Scott Gottlieb. The obvious manipulations by the CDC to scare people is inexcusable. I don't trust them. The FDA is nothing but...

    Vape shops closing

    I was mixing and rebuilding a couple months after switching 5 years ago. My cost of ingredients is 1 cent per ml. My secret is 1% flavoring. No palate fatique so don't need variety either. I mix 200 ml batches. Recently I tried unflavored for the first time in years, tolerable but like my...

    Greg Conley was on C-Span's Washington Journal this morning.

    I was not intending to criticize you in any way. Conley earns his hero status for laboring in reletive obscurity for all these years and now his moment has come and we're lucky to have him.

    Greg Conley was on C-Span's Washington Journal this morning.

    If there were no taxes on cigarettes everybody would love ecigs and Gilbert and Han Lic would share the Nobel prize for medicine. Greg Conley has had years, mostly under the radar, to perfect his message. Nobody on either side of the issue comes close. Hopefully the community and industry...

    Alert: Tests show bootleg marijuana vapes tainted with hydrogen cyanide

    Everybody already knows this of course but the people who hate vaping and have hated it all along won't acknowledge this finding. For 10 years their slogan has been "we don't know". That will never change. Another thing they hate is the bad press marijuana is getting. They love marijuana...

    Alert: Tests show bootleg marijuana vapes tainted with hydrogen cyanide

    I don't disagree with anything you write BUT the focus seems to be on what is causing the acute condition that's being observed, may be not the h-c but then that stuff is another reason to NOT use black market pot liquid.

    Canadian flavor?

    If there's a Canadian flavor it would have to be beer.

    CDC Finally Saying Stop Vaping THC

    I'm sure every public statement was filtered through a number of people. My problem with all these entities allegedly looking out for your health are driven by ideology first and safety second and I think the affliction runs so deep they can't see it.
