    New to it.

    So far I have found I like mint flavors, although root beer is very good. Tobacco taste wise my two favorites so far are RY4 and Turkish Tobacco. I was told by Ben at NCVAPE that if you were a Marlboro smoker the "Pall Mall" flavor comes close. Ken

    Kicking the eGo up a notch

    It can be noticed slightly right at the end. That has been my experience. Otherwise I have found EGO batteries for the most part to be fairly consistent from start to finish. At least with your regular 510 attys. Ken

    Unprepared - atty died

    I clean mine once a week. Two in rotation. I often neglect to carry a spare at work though but have three at home. Have snus and snuff if need be though. If you were closer to Raleigh I could hook you up with a 510/ego atty. Ken

    Cost vs Life

    You know I really haven't thought about the costs. I can't put a price tag on something finally getting me to not even want a cigarette and something that simulates the action without my kids "seeing" me smoking. Ken

    Gourmet vapor "a lesson to learn"

    One of the things I did my second week of vaping was to find a local vendor of some sort, NCVape was the closest, about 30 minutes from my house so if push comes to shove a phone call and a short car ride should get me emergency supplies. Ken

    Tips needed: Shopping for a Laptop Computer

    OK let me ask you a question. Name a site that you really need to get to from a phone that it being flash is a benefit to the experience on the phone? Flash is a resource hog, the mobile world really shouldn't be supporting flash yet, but soon. Ken

    Tips needed: Shopping for a Laptop Computer

    Thankfully, my main gear collection is more music specific equipment. As I told the owner of the local Music-Go-Round a couple of weeks ago, "I would have an easier time going home and telling my wife I am running off with a cocktail waitress than going home and telling her I am buying another...

    Tips needed: Shopping for a Laptop Computer

    Yeah the flash thing is annoying but truth be told I hate flash so oh well. People really overuse flash in the web world in my opinion and using it for mobile content without an alternate is just poor site planning IMHO. I adopted the iPhone for my own usage later than you so I never...

    Tips needed: Shopping for a Laptop Computer

    My first netbook (which I still have but plan to sell soon) was an Acer Aspire, the one with the smaller screen before they came out with the 10.1" screen. Recently I got that Compaq netbook (Q I think) that was $150 for us maniacs who waited in line all night at Best Buy for Black Friday. Of...

    Tips needed: Shopping for a Laptop Computer

    At present that is true. iPhones tend to outperform droid in that arena. However that is starting to become a closer race as the big reason it was initially like that is that IOS lacked multitasking which despite that being a minus for the platform it actually helped benefit overall...

    Tips needed: Shopping for a Laptop Computer

    Part of my use for a laptop is mobile audio production and the app availability and quality is much higher on the IOS platform right now. Granted that could change in the future but if I was to look at Linux in this same arena, despite many good linux audio production apps, the "paid" os...

    FDA demands review of newer tobacco products- Front Page MSNBC

    I wish I could find it but there was a study done when Clinton was president that showed the same thing and was talked about during an episode on the smoking bans in the first season of Penn & Teller: BS. Smokers actually benefit society financially. It is similar to how when discussing...

    Tips needed: Shopping for a Laptop Computer

    I have had good luck with the netbooks, however keep in mind most of the time I set them (like all my machines) as dual boot with Linux. And I am usually running Linux. The only gripe I have had with them is using GIMP (photoshop equivalent) for working on flyers and stuff from remote...

    FDA demands review of newer tobacco products- Front Page MSNBC

    Look at the quote I posted from the doc, they specifically list devices as an exclusion. I mean count on government to wax semantical but it would be hard pressed to call an ecig a device: de·vice (dĭ-vīsˈ) noun 1. A contrivance or an invention serving a particular purpose, especially a...

    FDA demands review of newer tobacco products- Front Page MSNBC

    Some other bits So it looks like the PV's themselves are ok. It is about the juice. Further more it goes on to explain that such blending alternatives are acceptable as in changes of blends are ok and it states that the a new manufacturer only needs to show it is equivalent to something...
