    BREAKING: Trump administration plans to ban sale of flavored e-cigarette products

    It's funny how the people who complain the loudest about government overreach, when tasked with running the government, overreach.

    Cotton wick in Ithaka?

    Kidneypuncher has some "square braid cotton" that I've used in an Ithaka. It works well, but I've only used it with a single coil. ...so far, at least, I just set it up this way for the first time a few days ago.

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    It's almost as funny as them knowing that I am staying at the Days Inn and ordered from a Fedex location in the first place, neither of which was mentioned in my order comment. Almost. Not quite, though. Pretty close. As for being targeted more often than most, I doubt that - I have a small...

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    I was certain that we were trying to avoid giving e-cigs to tweens and small children. What a revolting development.

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    My point exactly. The ecig vendors need to be a lot more careful what they do with their customer's info than they need to be picky about who is allowed to be their customer.

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    Now that makes sense. I guess that if these vendors are using Billy-Bob's Credit Verification System™, I shouldn't stress it too much and just accept the fact that it's more trouble than it will ever be worth to do business with them.

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    That's silliness as well. It's not that complicated. EVERY OTHER VENDOR IN EVERY OTHER INDUSTRY seems capable of dealing with this, but e-cig vendors, half of them, anyway, haven't reached the level of professionalism to be able to run an anti-fraud process that works out to being anything more...

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    You're babbling stupidly but I do detect a note of sarcasm behind the flying spittle. Looks to me like you just want to parade your ignorance. Well done.

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    They seem to know so much about my location that it's simple insanity for them not to have investigated what it is: if ordering "from a fedex site" is "suspicious" then the same could be applied to everyone at every job, it's all suspicious, when you think about it. Who are these people ordering...

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    I struggle to imagine any identity thief who'd piss away a perfectly good credit card number on e-cig crap.

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    Well that was the thing as well: VapeRev told me that it's suspicious that I ordered from a Fedex site. I'm working at the Fedex IT HQ in Memphis, it's a secure campus with two levels of security and every other thing requires carded access. I can see how that would look suspicious. Not.

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    I wonder what that thing might be, given that the difference between us is that I am not on vacation. Whatever the case, I ended up getting a literal stack of clones with the money that I'd intended to spend on a Silver Dog, it's not like I actually need anything that VapeRev has in stock. As...

    Why are e-cig vendors so nosy?

    I work. I travel. I vape. I've repeatedly run into the thing where some e-cig website takes it upon themselves to "investigate" me on suspicion of fraudulent credit card activity, though vendors in EVERY OTHER LINE OF BUSINESS seem to be capable of either doing this transparently or without...

    What makes some smokers so resistant?

    Well, it's months later and she still gets an attitude if the topic comes up. And like I say, it's not so much a matter of the boyfriend or me wanting her to switch, she's mad that he wants to tell me about his R Tank or Electric Angel. I don't watch television. The vibe is the same as if I...

    Smok R Tank rebuildable

    ...but it doesn't always work. It seems to be picky about which devices it will work on, and I'm disappointed to report that it's a poor match for my GGTS :glare:.

    Why did you start vaping?

    I just tried them randomly, it was something new, and I like electronic toys. I had no interest whatsoever in quitting and made no effort whatsoever to switch - once I realized that they actually work, I tried switching purely as an experiment. I guess it worked.

    Do you hookah?

    I sometimes wonder if I would have become a hookah user if I'd encountered one before e-cigs, particularly given that my setup is oriented toward mild TH. I was expecting a more unpleasant TH from the hookah than my PV setups, and the opposite turned out to be true. I smoked Camels, but I...

    Do you hookah?

    Having switched over ages ago, I now find myself occasionally in hookah bars. I'm not certain if it's because my social circle has changed or because they've become more popular, but suffice it to say that I've been in a few and more lately. The first so many times I went, I didn't try the...

    The word "vape"

    If it's one of my storms, I say "electric cigarette", if it's the ProVari, I say "electronic cigarette". Where I am at (for the moment,) people are very familiar with e-cigs: they're in all the stores here, so my angle when people here ask about it is to tell them that it's just a bigger and...

    What makes some smokers so resistant?

    I see it time and again and it always leaves me wondering. I can halfway understand the smoker who isn't interested in making the switch or are skeptical of it, but there's a particular type that I don't understand: the smoker who refuses to even consider e-cigs even though their...
