    With the Lavatubes, use 3ohm for anything, cartos, clearos, attys whatever. Don't use dual coils with the Lavatubes or the Twist. Dual coils need more than 4.5 volts and they strain your battery. If you'd like to kill a Twist battery real fast, use a 1.5ohm dual coil cartomizer and turn it up...

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    They don't need to fine you for being fat. They just avoid hiring you in the first place. Fat discrimination is AOK in America. So is age discrimination, as long as you make up some other excuse. Since the Citizens United case, the money is flooding in like never before. We don't have a...

    Any of the Lavatubes is better than a Twist, for a dozen reasons. The Vector is supposed to be a 3.2amp Lavatube, but some pretty credible testing has been done, an it's not really true. Unless Vapor Beast has some big coupon code happening, that's not even such a good deal. It's o.k., and...

    See, the difference between you and me is that I lived it. I don't need to believe anything. I know for a stone fact that it's as bad as it is because I knew a time when it wasn't this bad. I'm saying the sky is falling because I remember when the sky was thousands of feet above my head...

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    This attitude among employers, that their employees were property, that if you don't like it then just find another job, was what started the whole bloody war for workers' rights 100 years ago. Back then, the only thing you could be sure of is that you'd be treated just as shabbily in one...

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    Yes, that's right. And when the majority of people can't afford to uphold their dignity, and a majority of people are so desperate for work they'll put up with anything, that's not a free society. That's mass servitude. That's feudalism. Except in real feudalism, the Lord had a...

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    No. It hasn't "always been this way". Maybe in your lifetime it's "always been this way". Some of us remember when private companies had a certain responsibility to treat their employees better than they'd be expected to treat their draft animals. And there is absolutely no difference...

    Twist Question

    2.5-3.0 ohms. Divide a voltage on the twist by the ohms of whatever carto you're considering. If the result is over 2.5, don't use it with that voltage. You can divide the full range of voltages by anything between 2.5 and 3 without going over 2.5. Actually, you could use 2ohms, but you'll...

    Johnson Creek Vea

    They didn't come up with the Vea so you could go straying from the farm. The came up with it to sell more of their juice and their filled cartos. Shame on you for your disloyalty. I'm assuming it's an ego/510 thread and will take a 510 cartomizer you can get anywhere. But, I wouldn't bet...

    Yeah, and some people put a price tag on their dignity, and some don't.

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    That makes sense because what's happening is that your underwriter is rating your company by experience. If they have an abnormally low number of claims, they get a rebate on their premiums. If they have too many claims, they get a premium hike bigger than the one they get every single year...

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    It's not a matter of employer rights, or the lack of smoker rights, or even the lack of employee rights. The issue is what health insurance companies are allowed to do in the context of group health insurance. The last I heard, insurance was still a regulated industry, due to the tremendous...

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    It's totally normal for an ins. co. to do that when they write a policy on an individual. Individual underwriting happens in some very small group policy, typically less than 50 employees. For a true Group health insurance policy, it's highly unusual and most likely illegal in most states. If...

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    That's the thing though. The application for a group policy is not nearly as probing as for an individual policy. Insurance companies don't individually assess the risk of their insureds with a group policy. They want to know certain major things, but that's just to decide whether to cover...

    The 1.5 Lavatube I had has poofed, looking at new model

    Hmmm... I dunno. Last I checked, metal wasn't a very absorbent material. Maybe if the o-ring was made out of sponge or something..... Anyway, get a plastic tip and problem solved.

    Smokers Penalty Fee At Work?

    That's not true. Most INDIVIDUALLY UNDERWRITTEN policies charge extra for smokers. A group policy is not supposed to be individually underwriting employees and assessing extra premiums on people due to lifestyle. That's the whole idea of a group policy. You are rated by age and sex. That's...

    My thoughts: Welcome to the United States of Corporations. You're screwed. Insurance companies test for contanine, usually by urinalysis, because it's cheaper than a blood test. If they do a urinalysis, then find a way to cheat. I would claim I don't smoke, because you don't. Then, put the...

    new to vaping and looking for a QUALITY unit . apollo, modern vapor...

    The Twist isn't all that open & shut and sometimes it pays to look beyond the obvious. The size difference between the Twist and kGo can be a huge consideration. A 650mah twist is the size of an 1100mah kGo. A 1000mah Twist is just huge and two of them would cost as much as a Vtube, which is...

    The 1.5 Lavatube I had has poofed, looking at new model

    That's really strange. Are you dripping with an atomizer? Or is this tip heating up on a cartomizer? Is the tip plastic or metal? I've never heard of such a thing except for metal tips heating up on an atomizer, but boiling them to prevent it is a new one on me. I can't imagine what boiling...

    The 1.5 Lavatube I had has poofed, looking at new model

    If it's an IMR it will be. I'm pretty sure all the 1.5's were made for, and sold with, IMR batteries, so you should be set.
