    Name change of mods to APVs

    My vote too. APV it is, then. Was having this conversation (again, yesterday for the umpteenth time) and lamenting the PV acronym, as it is used for many other items (polyvinyl, etc..). Today I find this, APV, which is a very simple reliable term. Thanks Roly, for helping us bring this...

    Hawaii legislation (HB 2557) would tax e-cigarettes at 70% of wholesale price, ban sales to minors
