    Interesting new research

    Americans Over 65 Increasingly Using Cannabis

    I found this article to be particularly amusing. It centers around data showing a spike in cannabis use amongst people in the 65 and older age group. The humor is two fold: first, duh? The 65+ age group is increasingly dominated by baby boomers. Of course the former hippy generation is...

    CDC Identified Culprit in Vaping Related Deaths

    Surprise surprise. It’s BOOTLEG carts. Clearly shady people are mixing their extract with vitamin E in order to “cut” it down. We’ve been saying this for months. CDC really took it’s time coming to an obvious conclusion. Breakthrough in CDC vaping illness investigation: Vitamin E acetate and...

    Cool Science Stuff

    I'll start. First a kind of funny one. This one's about people who post/like those pseudo-deep memes on Facebook: People who like “pseudo-profound” quotes are not so smart, says science And here's a cool one. This is about the microscopic animals called tardigrades. Unlike many creatures...

It's a little hidden, but here's a direct link: https://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forums/outside.49/ Come join...

    New-ish place in SW PDX.

    There's a fairly new place right down the street from me! It's the second location of Vape Game. Their first was in Springfield near Eugene. They have a fairly solid selection of hardware, mostly focused on drip mods. They also carry the Kanger line of tanks and their own in-house liquid. Very...

    Provari Mini vs Legacy Mini

    I've been using Puresmoker products since day one. Currently I'm using a Legacy Mini with extension tube and Kick. It's great. The small size (18490) is nice and the craftsmanship is outstanding. But it's finicky. The Kick has to be seated just right and all the contact points have to be squeaky...

    Holy cats! Surf upgraded for the first time in years!

    It's true. I love my Prodigy V3.1, but after nearly two years it's time to try out some new hardware. I bought two new setups. First, I got a Lavatube, because they seem to be quite the rage. I got the SS version. It's pretty big so it'll probably be a "use at home only" device for me. Second I...

    Paid, but no supporting member status?

    So, I re-upped my subscription to the site, but as you can see I'm not shown as a supporting member. I wouldn't care except for the fact that I like my old custom member status which read "has spoken." What gives?

    What song is stuck in your head?

    Usually I have a song that I hate stuck in my head. Yesterday it was Yummy, Yummy, Yummy by Ohio Express. Today I'm lucky to have a song I actually like looping in my mind: Party Line by The Kinks. You?

    30 second post delay.

    I'm seeing an issue with the board. When I post it tells me that I can only make one post ever 30 seconds and makes me wait, even though I haven't made any posts in the last 30 seconds. Anyone else seeing this?

    My new watch!

    As many of you know, I have a sickness. I collect mechanical watches. My main collection is vintage railroad grade pocket watches from the first half of the 20th century (and some from the very end of the 19th.) But I also have a fairly extensive collection of wrist watches. Until now I haven't...

    I'm being harassed by a member over PM. Is there a way to block that member's incoming messages?

    F1: anyone here care?

    It was an amazing F1 season this year. I'm no fan of Vettel, but his championship win was hard fought and well deserved. I root for Lewis Hamilton, and his McLaren Mercedes just wasn't quite up to the task. Red Bull clearly had the best cars in the field this year.
