    Good deal on dropper bottles

    Glad that some folks found this useful -- and, uh, thanks for all the thanks. My shipment came today, I'm rollin' in little bottles.

    Got My 510 today, SWEET!! Ruyandirect Rocks!!

    Congrats. My first was a 901, and then the 510. WORLD of difference. Edited: I was going to tell you that domestically, when you need parts, Phil at e-smokeytreats.com ships wicked fast from California... but I just hit the site and the FDA has gotten its sticky fingers on his stuff and...

    Recharging batteries

    No multimeter here. I am, pardon pun, resisting the impulse to go all Radio-Shack geek over this habit, but it's probably inevitable. Motorcity, thanks for linky... Interesting mice-type there. I wonder how we know if we're discharging these batteries beyond the recommended lower limit...

    Recharging batteries

    It looks like the 4 batteries I have are not lasting for thousands of charges, at least not at anywhere near peak performance. They've gotten maybe one charge per day for a little over 2 weeks, and vaping time has gone way down with all 4 originals, so some are getting more than one charge per...

    Ash has written to 49 State AGs...

    Banzhaf has been trying to get rid of cigarettes for a very, very long time. This is just another frontier for him, a way to keep the bread buttered now that smoking is banned practically everywhere and his fast-food tax crusade probably isn't gonna pan out. These press releases coming from...

    My pleasure, and glad the code worked. US Plastic has a lot of neat little gadgets you might never think to look for.

    Recharging batteries

    Hey, thanks for that prong info! Mine were bent way down... but the last set of batteries I charged seem OK, at least the charger goes red and then immediately turns green when I reinsert them. I got 6 rechargeables plus a spare charger (same brand, Tenergy) from Battery Superstore, for $27 +...

    Recharging batteries

    I've had my Prodigy for only a couple of weeks, and for the past couple days the batteries need to be swapped out more often. How long should a battery take a full charge before it starts to crap out, anybody know? Puresmoker's out of 'em right now, so I ordered 6 plus a spare charger from...

    The FDA has 'won'

    Because in an argument, it's always better to be able to demonstrate that your logic is consistently trustworthy, and your opponent's is not. Gives your side more credibility, which in a perfect world would be important. But then I have a history of being surprised and infuriated when...

    Good deal on dropper bottles

    For anyone who likes empty bottles as much as I do... US Plastic is having a free-shipping deal now if you use code 57590 at checkout. They have great little dropper bottles; I like larger ones for mixing liquid, and the 6cc bottles are terrific carry-arounds. The "natural" color ones are clear...

    The FDA has 'won'

    It troubles me to keep seeing this statement that the FDA doesn't ban cigarettes, so it shouldn't ban PVs. The FDA does not have the authority to ban cigarettes. Maybe it would if it could; who knows? But repeating this point weakens the whole argument. We have to demonstrate a better level of...

    Just a rave

    Ye gods, I love my Prodigy. It makes everything taste so good and I don't have to THINK about batteries from morning to evening. It's like I slipped the leash. Vaaaape freeeee.... as freeee as the wind bloooows... Some days you just have to smell the roses, and watch the sunset, and vape the...

    Kos diary... arrgh

    I read Kos but am not signed up at the Great Orange Satan... the community there has always been difficult for me to grok. (More of an Eschaton/FDL/C&L fan.) However, this is up now: Daily Kos: GUS: Have some diethylene glycol with that e-cigarette I'm not going to sign up and have my first...

    Facts regarding the FDA Press Release - 7/22 (repost)

    Throwing in a small possibly irrelevant factoid: There's one of those "Injury Board" posts up today about this FDA release. E-cigarette Anyone? | InjuryBoard West Palm Beach Behind a link that appears as "e-cigarettes are available online and companies market those cigarettes to the young...

    Slow burn... John Banzhaf

    E-Cigarette Critics Accused of "Libel" and "Slander" // But FDA is Already Asserting Jurisdiction Over Product Just a press release dated today, full of the usual noxious stuff, but I wonder about this assertion that evil puppeteers of the e-cig empire are accusing Banzhaf (? unnamed others?)...

    Timing: press switch, suck, release switch, stop suck?

    I gotta agree 100%, from the depths of my current 30 entire minutes of experience with the Prodigy. There is NO need to preheat this sucker, and I'm gonna have to whack that 510 habit -- and forget those long, long draws I'd take off the 510. All this seems to need is a short burst of power. I...

    Florida City or County Role call

    There really is a good number of (ahem) Tampa Bayans here (we all know what our actual collective nickname is, heh). Having a meetup here would be very cool. I have only met one other vaper in meatspace. DJones, I'll see your long week and raise you a long night: My Prodigy was finally...

    Johnson Creek Smoke Juice: New & Improved - Comment, anyone?

    I tried the Arctic Mint (Arctic Menthol?) last night from the sampler. Not very minty at all, but it almost seemed like more of a trace of actual PEPPERmint, a flavor that'd be great to find in a stronger form! I've only tried one of the 2 tobacco flavors, don't remember which -- I'm not a...

    For recipes only!!!!!!!

    Nice comprehensive LorAnn's spreadsheet... but that lists TW as thinking Keoke coffee might not be good for vaping. News to me. I have vaped a whole lot of it in TW's unflavored juice and haven't noticed my attys dying faster. I can vape the Keoke WHILE drinking coffee and the flavor doesn't get...
