    FDA Crackdown on "Illegal" flavors

    https://gizmodo.com/elf-bar-vape-fda-tells-stores-to-stop-selling-1850566845 This is getting old, and it's something that the government has been pulling for ages now. They sensationalize headlines by saying these are the favorite flavors for teens, and people automatically assume "kids"...

    Durable case for 21700 batteries

    I recently purchased a new tactical flashlight which uses 21700 batteries. I need to find a good, durable case. I would love to find something that attaches to a duty belt setup, but after a week of searching, I don't think that's going to be possible. I did receive a case with the flashlight...

    Upgrading the security at home

    Welp, it's time to drag the house into the 22nd century and upgrade/replace the existing security system. The house was built a little over 10 years ago and has the standard motion detection sensors (not used because of the critters), and window/door sensors. I've been doing quite a bit of...

    Powerline Ethernet adapters

    Tablets and e-readers

    Interchangeable Melo coils?

    With the plethora of Melo tanks out there, are all the coils interchangeable with the various tanks? I'm more interested to find out if the .5 EC coil (SS) will work in the Melo RT 22.

    Suggestions for new setup welcome

    OK, while I'm aware of all the latest and greatest goodies hitting the market, the majority do absolutely nothing for me, or my vaping style. However, I haven't really kept up with tanks. First, I vape to replace smoking. I don't view it as a hobby and I've gotten tired of the hobby aspect as...

    Military ranks

    :D Military Rank: GENERAL Leaps tall buildings with a single bound. Is more powerful than a locomotive. Is faster than a speeding bullet. Walks on water. Gives policy to God. COLONEL Leaps short buildings with ease. Is more powerful than a switch engine. Is just as fast as a speeding bullet...

    Cue Vapor

    Just got an email from electrictobacconist.com and they have the Cue marked down to around 20 bucks for the kit. Think I'll snag one later this week to see how it goes.

    Hot linking images from other sites (like Imgur)

    Some folks are attempting to link album links rather than linking images directly. The addon we use doesn't handle album links correctly and as a result, you end up with a black box that doesn't show anything. To ensure your images display properly, you need to link the actual image location...
