1 to 2 years ago, if I were discussing something eCig related on topic of health, with a non-vaper, I'd expect them to cite some CDC point as to why eCigs need to be treated as dangerous. Internally, I'd be like this is complete BS, and I've seen this particular info cited umpteen times, while...

Haven't posted in a little while. I wanted to post the following, but it came to me in bits and pieces and just getting around to it now. All of it is certainly open to discussion. It's basically all Covid related. I would say foremost, that one silver lining is how Covid completely...

I think it would be a grand idea for us to discuss possible propaganda the Anti-Vaping types might throw at us in the near future. Not little stuff, like an individual saying, "they still don't know what's in those things" to any of us. That's for another thread. I'm talking the big stuff, like...

Looking in this thread to cover points on items we ought to hope for if not push for, going forward. In this thread, let's assume all eCig products in the U.S. are currently illegal. Which technically, they are (according to Final Guidance). I fully anticipate disagreement on some ideas that...

Not sure if Media and News is appropriate place for this post, but since the title stems from another (original) post in this sub-forum, it made sense to me to put it here. And by it, I mean the following rant. Open for discussion, but I realize I'm preaching to the choir. So yeah, in the...

I titled this thread purposively. But here is link to news article I heard about in recent days Doctors warn vaping could make you more vulnerable to the flu Which from my google search is kinda old news. But I honestly just heard about it in last few days. Anyway, my experience is the...

Was all set to play cards with friends tonight. A tradition in our group for over 20 years now. For at least the last 8 years, I'd be vaping at the table. Occasionally a (liberal) friend would want to have a discussion on the politics of vaping. That usually didn't end well. Kinda easy to win a...

While I recently received and am using the Aspire Breeze 2, I have been a longtime user of V2 classic batteries. Just a preference thing. Anyway, I have nearly a dozen batteries that are either in use or waiting to be charged. I also have 3 wall charging units. The problem is none of the wall...

During the (rather positive) hoopla during the SCOTUS nomination yesterday, there was one thing that got my attention. It's tough to make case right now that it will have huge impact on vaping, but also tough, I think, to say it will have no impact on vaping politics in the USA. I thought there...

So, we all agree that the FDA Ruling stinks (to high heaven). I'm concerned that the high emotions being expressed now will blow over for most and when the dust settles, it will be about getting whatever scraps we can to continue the vaping activity. IOW, doing a whole lot of capitulating so...

Had an interesting exchange with fellow vaper last night. Was at an event (indoors) that allowed for vaping indoors. That's not the interesting part. I'm using my cigalike which I've been doing for around 5 years now and I see 2 vapers at this event. Both of them I knew prior to the event...

I don't know how many times I hear this type of comment from ex-smoking vapers. That cigarettes taste god awful now that vaping has taken over. Hey guess what? I too prefer the taste of vaping. But, what I don't get is how ex-smokers don't fully remember that smoking was an acquired taste and...

I currently don't know of any candidates that are (for sure) pro vaping. So, I'm curious if anyone else does? Not looking for which party is more likely to support vaping rights cause that I feel is either 'known' to me or is just way too speculative. I'm looking to keep this thread going for...

Alternate thread title: Educating the ANTZ believers among us TL;DR version via bolded items So yesterday, I had opportunity to thoroughly educate a relative who previously has provided me with um literature (i.e. news / magazine) articles which contained vaping scare du jour. Perhaps I...

Just looking for a little informal pool on what date you think the deeming will be finalized/made available to the public. I think they're only about a year late right now, but that's great news. So, a possible answer to this pool is - it will never be finalized. One can only hope. Just post a...

I'm currently under the impression the forum software doesn't allow users to download private messages, but thought I'd ask here if anyone has a method besides the tedious approach of manually copying/pasting messages I may wish to save?

Added note: For the TL;DR version of this, just read the bolded stuff Okay, so I have been using e-smart clearos for many years on my KR-808D batteries (V2 classics) and have experienced an issue on some recent clearos from a particular vendor that I don't understand. Hoping someone here can...

Here's what I truly think about the diacetyl issue. In order of importance 1 - Vaping is very visibly peaking in its cultural existence. We are still living in the Golden Era, and it is phenomenal on so many levels. I don't think I've experienced such a market in my lifetime, especially...

I just want to go on record that, to me, the recent trend of class action lawsuits against vaping vendors is more concerning than the FDA (yet to be announced) regulations. I see them as quite likely an orchestrated campaign by ANTZ to attack the industry, change the playing field. Most of it...

So, when I was a heavy smoker, I used to think about smoking while I was eating. Not all the time, but a lot of the time. If I were at a restaurant and it was salad served first, then wait 15 minutes, and main meal is served, I'd probably be going out after the salad to have a smoke. And for...
