    So, has anyone seen any PA "Floor Tax" forms yet? I'm concerned!

    That's right, with Pennsylvania's vape tax taking effect in less than a month, I as a consumer am very concerned. You can talk to different retailers and ask "What exactly IS going to be taxed?" and you're almost sure to get a different answer every time...from "EVERYTHING!" to "Who knows?". I...

    Any good political cartoon artists around here?

    Perfect satirical representation just came to mind, unfortunately my once fairly decent artistic skills have not been sharpened for many years. We need a cartoon fit for publication, maybe we can get a big media outlet to run it. Uncle Sam, hanging out of the Capitol building and dumping a tub...

    Hold on to yer hats, here comes the BIG one...E-Cigs linked to C A N C E R !!!

    This has been our biggest stronghold, and now a report, or should I say new BS story, is just starting to make rounds via twitter the vaping will cause CANCER. Biggest pile of BS I've seen, a report on an incompleted study on cells that are PREDISPOSED to cancer and showing changes "similar" to...

    I think I have a brilliant idea, but not the resources, please read...

    Hey everyone. I've been reading more stories about bans being voted into place, the threats of making this and that outright illegal, etc....as most of you have. Two things keep flowing through my feeble brain, (1) how long we, as smokers, have put up with the shame and ridicule and (2) the...

    Strange analogy I just threw at some idiot...lol, worth sharing....

    If you drank a black cherry soda and burped, technically, you've vaped and exposed those around you to the chemicals in the soda. In fact, a soda-induced burp has more in common with ecigs than a tobacco cigarette does. Should we ban soda now? hahaha I couldn't resist sharing...and it's true!

    Be vocal...

    This forum is great for sharing info that's important to us, but I'll tell you we need more vocal people over on twitter. Go there, join if you need to, then simply type in "ecigs", "vape", "vaping"...words like that...into the twitter search box then "show all". You will be shocked at the...

    We need public support....

    I've been thinking, it amazes me how many stories and "causes" I know things about that have little or nothing to do with me. Yet I know about them. And it all comes from the viral effect of FaceBook. In fact, there's many things I'd likely know NOTHING about had it not been for some stupid...

    Subverting any bans, or diversifying a product lol?

    With the mounting threats against vaping, specifically the thought of huge taxes on hardware, I wonder if any of the hardware manufacturers have considered diversifying? I'm sitting here with my EVOD in my hand and thinking "Geez...if they made a simple LED assembly to screw on top of this, it'd...

    Just a thought regarding the fight against regulation....

    For anyone that's had or will have the opportunity to participate in official discussions about regulation, has there ever been a mention of possibly adding a timeframe to vape/e-cig restrictions? I bring this up out of concern for the future. It seems that the biggest tool the opposition is...

    Hello from Lehigh Valley PA!

    Hi everyone, great forum here, I have already gathered a ton of information as I embark on this new chapter in my life. I am a smoker of 30+ years and while it is my only vice it has been one that's been very difficult to kick. I'd tried some of the cheapie cigarette look-a-likes and came away...
