    What was your highlight of 2013?

    A vacation? An accomplishment? A milestone? What I'll remember most about 2013 is it was the year one of my dogs had knee surgury. He popped a ligament and had the surgery about two months ago. My wife and I had to adjust our schedules to work around the demands of work and taking care of him...

    Is there an "ignore" option?

    I've searched and haven't found an ignore option for certain members in order to hide their posts. Does one exist?

    What defines an e-cig?

    I posted this in the Legislation News thread first, but it's a lightly viewed place. Just reposting here as I think it's an important discussion to have... A city nearby where I live (Alhambra, CA) recently passed legislation restricting the use of "e-cigs" in the city only to places that allow...

    What legally defines an "e-cig"?

    A city nearby where I live (Alhambra, CA) recently passed legislation restricting the use of "e-cigs" in the city only to places that allow tobacco as well. And today on the drive home I heard some more BS from the L.A. city council. L.A. City Council moves to regulate sales and use of...

    Alhambra, CA bans e-cigs in public places

    Hits pretty close to home for me. Passed 4-0, but at least one councilman abstained: Councilman Gary Yamauchi abstained because he said there was not enough information to make an informed decision. “I will not vote on any new laws that affect citizens in the city of Alhambra unless I...

    Clone or Counterfeit?

    I'm so tired of seeing the word "clone" when referring to clear counterfeits - blatant rip-offs of an original design, name and all. Can't we just call a spade a spade? I have no problem with people buying and using them, but can't we just refer to them as to what they actually are...

    ProVape customer service...

    ...is off the charts. I ordered a blem mini along with two 18530s and an extension cap. I received the order today and there are (as usual) no visibles blems on the mini, but there were three batteries in the shipment. Huh? I'd only ordered two. My first thought was that there was an error in...

    Can I renew my sub w/o using paypal?

    I was happy to donate to this forum last year. I recently received an email reminding me that a year has passed and I went to renew. But I can't find a way to simply pay with a CC without going through paypal. I don't have and don't want a paypal account. Am I missing something? Any way to...

    Excellent customer service.

    Just wanted to say that I'm so very impressed with the customer service at COV. I had a QC issue with my first order for a tank. I, in hindsight, overreacted and asked for a refund. Bruce was quick to reply and said no problem. He stood by his product and just asked I return the order and I'd...

    Nice to have an emergency back-up

    Still a green member here. On the fast track though. Should get the Provari tomorrrow. But today, the last atty from my eGo starter kit died with no warning after only a few days of use. I will NOT go back to analogs, so I'm happy to be able to have the greensmoke as a back-up. I didn't think...

    A month without analogs

    Hi all. Finally registered for this forum! Actually, today is a month and 1 day w/o analogs after 15 years straight of pack-a-day smoking. I wasn't even planning on quitting smoking. A co-worker showed up one day with a disposable e-cig and it piqued my interest, so I decided to try one out. I...
