    Michigan first state to ban flavored ecigs

    If some of this bad T_C liquid was bought from a licensed business with a physical location it should not take long to find the source.

    Michigan first state to ban flavored ecigs

    I suspect the governor's pretext for the ban is the news about black market T_C product making people sick. The primary cause of the sickness is the black market source. If all flavors are banned a black market can only increase and we can be certain kids will be over represented in that...

    Michigan first state to ban flavored ecigs

    The Michigan legislture has done a brilliant job of ignoring the vape issue. Why should they make themselves a target over this when it's already overseen by the Feds? So why would the governor take this action, trigger a very strong reaction, in return for very little. The lesson of the sick...

    Michigan first state to ban flavored ecigs

    I was a dual user for 6 weeks. One of the things that helped with the transition was how eliquid flavoring changed my sense of taste such that cigarettes began to taste bad and finally awful. The last time I took a random puff on a cigarette (years ago) it was wretched. The governor may have...

    Michigan first state to ban flavored ecigs

    I'm in Michigan. Nobdy had a clue this was coming. It appears the governor consulted with no one but her healt department. This should be done by lawmaking, so all sides can be heard, not by edict. I'd say this is wreckless, incompetent governing. Is Michigan now ground zero for vape...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    Appears I jumped to a few too many conclusions. That old style atomizer, probably slow selling may be overflowing somebody's inventory and he found a way to get rid of them for at least some money. But what stays true is a black market is likely to hurt a lot more people than a legal market...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    You can take a systematic approach. Start with a time frame. I planned for a high probability of lasting 10 years and may be 20 if everything works perfectly. I plan to mix and rebuild so don't have to plan for drop in coils and don't need pre mix liquid since I'll be making my own. So the...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    Most everybody has heard by now that some people were poisoned by black market JUUL pods sold as containing T_C. Hundreds went to hospital and may be several have died. How did this happen and why does it matter? The FDA harrassed JUUL into withdrawing replacement pods from walk in retail...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    I started with drop in coils and tried to get a few weeks out of them. They were always best for the first couple of days and declined after that. I'm strictly rebuilding today and find if I'm using only one set up it's worth rewicking twice a week for the best taste and vapor quality. I'm...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    I feel lucky adapting to building 5 years ago. I'm also lucky to have settled on my all time favorite atomizer, SV rda clone, which I was able to buy in sufficient quantity for $7.50 each. Sadly they have been discontinued everywhere as far as I can tell. People who don't like too rebuild...

    Vaping Lung Disease Outbreak: the TRUTH.

    The investigators are holding out on us to the detriment of public health. They got a sample of the bad liquid early on. They know what's in there. They have a bunch of victims too question. The question they ask, who gave you this stuff? They follow the leads. There are plenty of them...

    Vaping Lung Disease Outbreak: the TRUTH.

    Millions of people have been vaping for more than 10 years. If it could cause lung damage there would have been evidence before now. I believe the current situation is a symptom of the drug war and the black market it supports. Who ever bought this product was looking for something other than...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    $3,000 a year for a carton a week, $15,000 saved. Can the FDA ban vape gear sold in legal pot shops? There shouldn't be scare mongering. Evolv will manufacture the same as always. The law will be they can't sell too end users in the US but can sell offshore as much as they want. America is...

    Nic Base Storage: Freezer vs. Room Temp Experiment

    The clear bottle of liquid below was mixed this morning with 5 year old nic stored in the freezer. The other darker one is the identical mixture, mixed may be 6 weeks ago and kept in the refrigerator. The original 100mg nic, as of this morning, is crystal clear. The darker liquid might show...

    My heart doc says keep vaping

    Two different docs in 2 years say stop vaping. Those guys are history. In that time, while vaping, I reformed diet and exercise. Blood pressure, blood glucose and blood fats reduced to normal ranges. Body fat reduced by about 30 pounds to 13.5%. 10-12 lbs of muscle added. Diet is 40 net...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    DIY is mostly about confidence. Once you know you can do it the rest is easy. Put a measured amount of your favorite pre mix in a small bottle (count drops). Make a small batch of unflavored with the same % of PG, VG, and nic as the premix. Add the same number of drops of the unflavored to...

    FDA Juul is going to be in a hard spot to ever get their product approved

    The way I understand things is US manufacturers can make their products but not for sale in the US. How hard will the FDA try to interfere with off shore mail order? Will the FDA interfere wiith access to concentrated nic? I rarely go to vape shops but the last time I did they all seemed to...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    You can put some rebuildable atomizers in your stockpile even if you are not ready to use them. If the day comes when you can't get pre made coils you'll learn to build and discover it wasn't so hard after all and why didn't you start years earlier. Nearly 6 years ago I was smoking a carton a...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    Why should Evolv go out of business? The FDA is only limiting what can be sold to consumers in the US. Today it's likely the overwhelming majority of Evolv products are shipped to China to be installed in mods. From there they can be sold all over the world. The same can be true for any vape...

    The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

    I follow ecig news stories with google search and try to look at all the stories about ecig injuries. What I find is that all of them come down to 2 situations, batteries with exposed terminals carried in clothing or mech mods. I decided years ago I won't be using unprotected mods. There are...
