    Back To Vaping

    Hiya gang. Been a long time since I have been here. I started vaping back in 2010 and it worked great for about a year. Then a series of circumstances intervened and I went back to the smoke. However a free starter kit coupon this week, out of nowhere, made me decide to try again. I know how...

    Massive smokeless tobacco tax increase

    I think folks need to get away from the BT BP conspiracy stuff.....although some of that does go on. This is a very simple equation and if you make it complicated, you will never get your point across to lawmakers. The facts: 1. None of the legislators want you to quit. 2. None of them care...

    Stink Bugs

    I got one ready to go....as soon as I figure out the light source. I think the bugs know something is up. I haven't had one in the house for a couple days. Either that or all the taping and caulking around windows is finally paying off. I plan to build several if they work....so I am ready for...

    Stink Bugs

    I just got back from Home Depot. They are sold out of the battery LED tap lights. I asked the guy when they are getting more and his response was, "They are next to impossible to find right now because everyone is trying to build those stink bug Pepsi traps." He guessed that was the reason I...

    Stink Bugs

    I am going to try this home-made trap. I also noticed they are attracted to light, so I keep the house mostly dark at night, except for the bathroom. Any that are in the house, eventually go to that bright room where I can kill them in various ways. YouTube - ‪BEST Stink Bug Trap EVER‬‏

    Might be a malware problem

    Just want to let you guys know....the issue still exists. Here now on the Linux half of my machine because the windows half got hit by the bug. I agree...it's a Java exploit, but I don't buy the Facebook connection. I think that might be a red herring. I've seen this exploit before on a...

    Looks like they split the news into two subforums. Least that's the way it looks.... Electronic Cigarette News

    Is anyone else having problems with their diamond battery?

    My diamond battery worked great for the first couple weeks....but now it is failing even with post adjustments. But here is one I bet nobody has experienced.... Sometimes I will have the the e-cig in my mouth and sort of spin it between my fingertips. Just an unconscious thing we don't notice...

    Stink Bugs

    We just got hammered with snow and ice. That's bad....but on the upside, everyone of those damn stink bugs that crawled out during those few warm days, are now dead under all that ice and snow. It gives me a warm fuzzy.....:laugh:

    Tacoma hospital group to refuse jobs to smokers

    I have to blunt and honest, Bill. Although I appreciate all you do for the e-cig community now, I find your past very troubling. Just saying....

    Tacoma hospital group to refuse jobs to smokers

    Things will get real interesting when the phase of the new healthcare law, that requires the purchase of healthcare insurance, goes into effect around 2014. Now...the law will require most people to buy insurance. Will insurance comapnies be allowed to descriminate against nicotine users when...

    Stink Bugs

    They caught me by surprise last year. Wasn't expecting such a big assault. Gonna be prepared this year with some serious crack filling and screen door repair. Also experimenting with some chemicals. I found that regular Raid will slowly kill them, but won't act as a barrier. High DEET...

    another piece of good news---

    Yes...by all means...ban tobacco chewing in baseball. It might interfere with the steroids, pain killers and human growth hormone.

    Huffington Post- Story on E-Cigs

    This guy is yet another smoking profiteer. No different than the hucksters peddling "all-natural" weight loss pills and penis enlargers on late night infomercials. He recognizes a fear or a problem, and capitalizes on it. Remember...Huffpo is a blog...not a news service, so no attempt is ever...

    Stink Bugs

    Getting a warm up the next couple days. This will probably activate those stinkers that have been hibernating in your walls and attics. Just read there will be a stink bug trap available for sale this summer using pheremone lures. Won't be cheap I am sure....and won't work indoors. RESCUE...

    Utah legislation

    I have a question for all the legal eagles.... All of these states attempting bans go after the sale of the stuff. None have tried to outlaw actual possession. This is good, of course...but curious as to why they haven't tried it yet? Do they run into legal trouble if they shoot for that?

    Utah legislation

    There is an issue that all these state bans run into when they start talking about internet sales. That's federal territory and falls under interstate commerce controls. As I understand it, a state can ban people from selling inside a state, but can't stop people from buying outside the state or...

    NYC Bans Smoking Outdoors - Parks, Pedestrian Plazas, etc

    You just know that some ..... is going to take this new "duty" to heart and take on a smoker in the park just to feel important. Tragedy will ensue....and he will end up being interviewed from his hospital bed as the smoker is arrested and villainized. An ambulance chasing lawyer will parachute...

    Vote (allows for short comment) Should electronic cigarettes be allowed on airplanes? MSNBC

    Antis LOVE "reformed smokers" like this. They take cases like Karen as validation for their work. It's not just smoking. Look at any hot-button issue and you will find groups using reformed people as poster children. Religious groups live for this sort of thing. Nothing better than parading out...

    Vote (allows for short comment) Should electronic cigarettes be allowed on airplanes? MSNBC

    Lets talk about Karen in Los Angeles. Who is karen you ask? Glad you asked.... Karen is chronic poster at the MSNBC site where the airline e-cig poll is going on. She claims to be a former smoker and should stand as warning to vapers on how NOT to be when one stops smoking. A sampling...
