    No smoking or E-cigs in cars with children in Tempe, AZ

    I guess if you want to vape while driving you'll have to eject the kids. "OK guys, everybody out. I'll stop at the hardware store and meet you there. Just be careful walking along the road." I presume they would arrest you for that too..

    I am beginning to understand what Big Tobacco really fears about vaping.

    I started vaping to get away from cigarettes. I had no problem just smoking a pipe. Stopped buying cigarettes, started vaping. Hot and heavy with the new toys...24mg.. coil building and DIY juice...18mg.. stopped smoking a pipe somewhere along the line (still have 50 pounds of pipe tobacco...

    Was Tobacco Control ever really about tobacco?

    If you can control it, you can tax it. If people don't like something, and you can beat your anti-tobacco drum loudly enough, those people will give you money to continue. If you are doing something and enjoying it, then people who don't like it (whatever 'it' maybe) will want to control/curtail it.

    Has the excitement and fascination with vaping diminished over time ?

    Ex- Heavy cig smoker. Tried a cig-alike. Got off cigs. Got a bigger (more MAH) ciga-alike. Spending 4 to 5 hours reading on this forum per day! Started looking at flavors. Instead of getting a better cig-alike moved up to Provari. Ordered/tried different toppers. Discovered rebuilding...

    What the hell was I addicted to in tobacco?

    Two packs a day for 40 years plus. Check my sig for my last one. Quite proud of myself. My PV gives me just about everything my coffin nails gave me...something for my hands to fiddle with, that oral thing with the lips, the inhalation of 'something' (smoke or vape), visual exhalation. I...

    The Lemo RTA: A Build With Pics

    Just got my Lemo in today and just want to type a few quick things. First, an impressive bunch of spare parts included. Only topper I've ever bought with wire and cotton included. DIRECTIONS!!! I'm really impressed. I could have really used these when I started. If it wasn't for the kind...

    50 cents a ml tax!?!

    And when the pols get a new tax passed "for the kids" or some other worthy cause like police, fire, first responders, the new earmarked tax goes towards what it is supposed to but the 'old' funding disappears back into the general fund. So if the state is putting 250 million/year into the...

    Sigh*Canada

    No vaping on public property such as parks or beaches. No vaping indoors in businesses (bars, factories, etc). Just figure the restrictions for tobacco use and you have the vape restrictions!

    Could you quit vaping if circumstances proved it to be the best choice (read FDA/local political decisions)?

    I look at cigs same as AA looks at alcohol. Alcoholics aren't 'cured', they are 'recovering'. One drink could put them right back to where they were. Right now I'm a 'recovering' smoker. The thought of re-starting cigarettes is very frightening to me!

    Medical Insurance Companies May Soon Impose Surcharge on Vapors Health Insurance Premiums

    The insurance companies do that because they can. Tell all the participants in the plan that those evil tobacco users are driving up YOUR costs and deserve to be punished by extra fees. So its "sock it to 'em" time. Then change some of the definitions around to make sure as many people fall...

    How Much have you $aved Vaping?

    Tax (fed, state, + state sales tax on the tax) equals $3.18 per pack here. Two packs per day times 365 days/year equals $2,321.40 just in tax for a year. Vaping? Probably $500.00/year max. It could be $1,000.00 and I would still have saved/not spent $1,321.40 as compared to the coffin nails...

    Police watching you.

    I live in a quiet bedroom town an hour north of Detroit. Local TV station had a report on a clear liquid with no taste or aroma that the 'kids' have been using....and dying from it too. Sold in local gas stations/convenience stores. Used in standard vaping gear. If a policeman should stop...

    Could you quit vaping if circumstances proved it to be the best choice (read FDA/local political decisions)?

    I quit after 40 plus years of cigs. I used to get out of bed and my first thought/craving was to feed my cigarette addiction. Vaping helped me quit more than a year ago. Now I get out of bed and do not have the craving for nicotine. I easily don't vape for half an hour or more without even...

    Nice job. Easily digestible, should be able to appeal to the general public, but probably they won't catch the hint of being paid for the results the customer wants..

    E-cig regulations at school

    The good old pre-PC days. I could be out hunting rabbits, decide to walk through town for a coke. Shotgun over my shoulder, chamber open and gun unloaded of course. Stop in the drugstore, set the gun out of the way and have a soda. Nowadays they would have the SWAT team knock me down and...
