    its about over in minnesota

    lol.. you're not the only one! it's been a very confusing session here in Minnesota. At one point, I believe the public usage ban language existed in 6 places. It was hard to determine which bill to target. The latest update is that we're likely going to see some compromise language, as the...

    its about over in minnesota

    You're looking at the original Health & Human Services House omnibus bill. The senate companion (SF2087) contains the language from Sec. 1. of SF2027. HF2402 was taken up on the floor last week and it contained the public usage ban language from SF2087...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    I usually keep ~50ml of base in an amber bottle the chest that holds all of my steeping liquids.. the rest is in the freezer in amber bottles and in a box. when I reached into the envelope yesterday to pull out the bottles of nic when I received them, my hand came out coated in liquid. I...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    You'll notice that I included question marks next to "killed" in the comment you're referring to.. indicating that it's a possibility. And yes, you did say that they would have nothing to do with shipping.. but my comment had nothing to do with the FDA regulating shipping, either.. really, you...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    Thank you for that info, Kurt! I haven't tasted it yet, but if it tastes anything like it smells, it's not going to be awesome in the juices that I make, which are primarily fruit flavors. I could, however, see using this in a tobacco juice and having it work out well. As far as VIP, after I...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    The only person who said the FDA would have anything to do with shipping is Myk. My point was - if vendors are being careless with how they're shipping base and people are winding up getting sick due to exposure, it's going to raise a red flag and give the FDA more ammo in their recent campaign...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    Melodramatic? Have you ever looked up the LD50 of nicotine in humans? It's 0.5–1.0 mg/kg, translated.. that's as low as 30mg of nicotine to kill 50% of those exposed to that dosage. Considering the transdermic nature of nicotine, it's quite possible to absorb 30mg through skin contact with...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    All my previous nic purchases (from different vendors) are all packaged taking the same precautions as I would. Usually heat shrink wrapped, in a bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, sometimes a second bag, and shipped in a box. I realize accidents happen, and if they had come to me wrapped in a way...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    Update.. Sherryl, of VIP Vapor Cigs, finds nothing wrong with packaging 100mg liquid in an open sandwich baggy and taping the caps on her bottles and shipping them in a bubble wrap soft sided mailer. I would *definitely not* do business with VIP Vapor Cigs until she decides to change that, at...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    Well, your input kinda confirmed my fears. The smell of it is very, very musty tobacco scent.. like, if you put a pack of cigarettes in a drawer full of freshly used gym socks.

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    It's VIP Vapor Cigs.. their prices were on par with WL and since WL was not shipping any base, I figured I'd give them a shot. I don't make tobacco flavored juice, so it sounds like I'm going to be returning this stuff. Ugh. I bought 740ml (1 500ml, 1 240ml) and was planning on freezing in...

    Color of 100mg base liquid

    Does this color look off for 100mg base? My previous orders have been through Wizard Labs and they come in a black bottle, so I never really saw what the condensed color looked like.. but my understanding is that it should be mostly colorless. Also, based on the way the supplier shipped it...

    What's up with wicks?

    that makes sense.. I kinda tried that method with the silica because there was no way that I was going to be able to wrap 28awg around it in any accurate way.. but then my silica kinda disintegrated into individual strands as I pulled it through.. would the gauze be alright to use?

    What's up with wicks?

    quick question for cotton users.. I'm used to building SS wicks for RBA's, but I just got an IGO-W and the whole mesh wick doesn't work real well in it.. and I have no silica.. I do, however, have access to endless amounts of 100% cotton gauze.. are they safe to use? Also, given the...

    Comment by 'mattblack' in 'Modding the Sigelei #8 for maximum performance.'

    I absolutely cannot get the pin (or, housing for that matter) out.. the housing looks to be soldered to the bottom tube.. and the pin is so tight that I can't get it to unscrew from the switch, even with heating it.. ideas? this thing is only firing maybe 20% of the time.. and that's if I push...

    5 ego batteries for $9.16...Who's your Daddy Fasttech

    Yeah, that's my plan as well. I don't feel right cashing in on someone elses mistake, but I did in this case because I have a bunch of friends that smoke and want to try vaping, so I figured these + some CE4's/iclear's could maybe entice them. :-)

    5 ego batteries for $9.16...Who's your Daddy Fasttech

    I personally don't know how anyone can tolerate Fasttech.. I bought one item from them and it takes *forever* to get it. I'd rather pay the few extra bucks and get it locally within a week or whatever. Plus, buying locally keeps these places in business, so when something of ours breaks and we...

    5 ego batteries for $9.16...Who's your Daddy Fasttech

    I'm thinking that with out quickly they took the listing down.. it probably was an error rather than their new pricing on it.. lol
