    Answers from your Congress Critters

    My local and Federal employees gave me the usual ambivalent verbiage (if they answered at all).

    E-cig regulations at school

    There have been several local TV articles on a "not illegal yet" chemical sold at convenience stores (not naming the product) that has no scent, is vaped in an e-cig, gets the user high, and one of its worse effects is death. The authorities can't tell the difference by sight or smell from our...

    Rebuilding coil, high and varying ohms

    I generally just use 32 gauge. six wraps on a micro coil gets me about 1.8 ohms. A quick, copyable chart showing wire size and ohms per inch: Kanthal A-1 Wire Specs: (Ohms Per Inch) •28 AWG- 0.439 Ohms/in, 0.0508 Diameter (in.) •30 AWG- 0.696 Ohms/in, 0.0100 Diameter (in.) •32 AWG- 1.091...

    Let's talk budget on rebuilding..

    I would recommend walking before running (G). Start off with something simple. I've read good things about various PV's like the MVP. For a dripper I recommend an IGO-L. That's what I use and you can't go wrong for ten bucks to find out if coil building is for you. Then you can go crazy...

    I have to make 5 post to do what I want.......

    I was quite curious as to what he was so interested in posting about so I foolishly (not really) went through this thread looking to see his next post. Didn't see one..nada..nothing..a deafening silence. Went back to the start of the thread and he still only has one post. Come on! Quit...

    Do you believe some Reporters are payed off by BT

    If the owner of the media in question has an opinion, view or bias on a certain topic, I would imagine that they would make sure that the people working for them write articles/do stories that support their views. If these reporters/talking heads don't do what the owner wants, then the former...

    UN stands up to WHO on e-cigarettes.

    Glad you corrected that. Initial title made me wonder if there was a new organization using the "UN" initials. Didn't sound like the same agenda driven, political, nanny-state, do-nothing-for-real-problem organization that I know of.. I wonder how they are coming along solving the problems...

    Big Tobacco proposes open container tank ban for e-liquid

    Some in-line comments: Quote "There are a lot of laws which are rarely if ever enforced... I have a paperweight which happens to be the exact size, shape and weight of a pair of brass knuckles..." Oddly enough, I have a pair of brass knucks in the same shape as a Provari! Quote "Risk of...

    Why buy Vivi Nova heads, just buy another tank

    I've got drippers, RTA's, Kayfun clone, etc but the Vivi Novas are what I walk around with during the day. Their only failing is the plastic tanks and I don't like not seeing my juice level with the metal tanks..

    antz out of control?

    Used to have pictures of Santa with a pipe in his mouth -- try to find one now! They also do things like photo-shopping the cigar out of Winston Churchill's pics.. I think it is called revisionism..."Nope, that never happened!"

    law to apply excise tax to e-cigs in Lansing

    If I ever get a response, it is generally a 'canned' one, probably done by an intern.. If anyone wants a link to the PDF of the proposed bill: http://www.legislature.mi.gov/documents/2013-2014/billintroduced/Senate/pdf/2014-SIB-1018.pdf These can get confusing, but one thing I noticed was a...

    Michigan: Excise ("Sin") Tax on E-Cigarettes - Call To Action

    One is going forward on a bridge that the citizens voted down and the other was Granholm's shining light. I found the Proposition One PDF on the Lansing site and I couldn't figure out how and how much they are going to reimburse the local governments for lost revenue. Though the "pro' mailings...

    The Future Of Vaping Is DIY

    I vape, therefor I DIY. The thought of black market nic makes me cringe. Imagine going blind from bathtub nic like happened with alcohol during Prohibition. Laws can be amended or passed with a stroke of the pen. If you have an interest that is in the minority, such as vaping, money and media...

    Hi from Michigan

    Just put them in a box somewhere cool and dark. As some juices age their flavor can change. Plus our tastes change as time goes on. What you don't like today might be something great for you in six months (g). And in a couple of months you may find more vapers to trade with!

    Hi from Michigan

    Welcome from a fellow Michigander! Juices that I don't care for I just pass on to someone else...and then they can pass them on if they don't like them..

    Please follow the link at the top of the page titled "Michigan - Call to Action". Hope everyone is taking action on this. Doing it might not help our case seeing as how the greedy bastiches are looking for another golden egg laying goose to tax the hell out of.. But I vote and I remember who...
