    CALLING ON THE VAPING COMMUNITY TO CONTACT PRESIDENT TRUMP

    The question is what we, as voters, will do when the candidates from each party are equally bad on the nominal "single issue". Does anyone really believe that Elizabeth Warren or Kamala Harris, or, God forbid, Robert Francis O'Rourke wouldn't demand that the FDA/CDC/BATFE/etc "do something for...

    CALLING ON THE VAPING COMMUNITY TO CONTACT PRESIDENT TRUMP

    Nobody's mentioned it in this thread so far, but do you know who vapes, or at least used to? Rush Limbaugh (he vaped and marketed for one of the companies rebranding and overcharging for the original Lavatube). If there's someone who might be able to convince the President, it's his golfing...

    Connecticut Call to Action: Multiple bills threaten access to and use of electronic cigarettes!

    I received an immediate personalized response from Representative Rick Lopes upon sending him an email through the CASAA site, who informed me that he hasn't seen any comments on the bills nor have they come before his committees, if you're perhaps looking for an amenable ear.

    FDA Left wing Democrat Senators repeat lies about junk formaldehyde study, urge FDA to impose Deeming reg by April

    As a CT resident, I'd just like to apologize for our (collectively) having sent Blumenthal to DC. Unfortunately, there's no way to get rid of him until he decides to retire, and he's so full of his own self-importance and political immunity that he won't listen to anything I or anyone else would...

    FDA Prevent Cancer Foundation's comment on FDA Deeming Regulation

    Just for the sake of context, there's a large charity event currently ongoing, known as "Awesome Games Done Quick". Each January, they run a game speedrun marathon for a week to try to raise money through donations for the Prevent Cancer Foundation. http://www.twitch.tv/gamesdonequick Last...

    FDA Prevent Cancer Foundation's comment on FDA Deeming Regulation

    http://cqrcengage.com/preventcancer/file/9Pz92SPD2VB/PreventCancerFoundation%20FDA%20Comments%20August%202014.pdf They seem mostly focused on preventing the availability of nicotine-containing products to minors, which is something which most of us favor, as well as child-proof packaging on...

    Shipping notice for #1022 sent 8/28, 17 business days after placing the order, out of an expected 18 day lead-time at order. Looking forward to getting this thing (sorry if I seemed a little whiny about it for a while, they did what they had to do, I just got my hopes up when I saw the expected...

    stop demonizing smokers

    The only time I get annoyed with smokers is when I'm forced out into smoke-filled enclosures with them in order to use my APV. I've made a positive step in my life, I'm no longer inhaling smoke and I no longer smell like an ashtray. I also no longer go outside into freezing/raining weather to...

    They're doing some funny math with this lead-time stuff. I'm on business day 16 with no notice as yet (not counting Saturdays). Granted, it was a 12-18 day window when I placed the order, I don't see how they can reduce the leadtime that much without getting through previously placed orders in...

    I think you might be a bit pessimistic. I'm #1022, placed Aug 4, so the backlog must have decreased dramatically over that time period. Assuming they get through 5 per day, and his was the last placed on Saturday, that gets me out the door on Thursday, followed by yours the subsequent Monday...

    Is Provape in danger of becoming like Blackberry?

    That's the rub: the only people that will notice a difference between 20W and 30W are those that are using some version of a dual-coil RTA, like the Aqua or the Orchid . Otherwise, 20W is more than enough for your Kayfun, and 30W isn't enough for a cloud-chaser. People are making way too...

    Is Provape in danger of becoming like Blackberry?

    I completely disagree. High wattage equals low nic equals more exposure to impurities in flavors and PG/vg breakdown products. 20W will be just as good for the enthusiast but not-cloud-chasing vaper in 10 years as it is today. And if it isn't, that's sad, since it means we've taken...

    Is Provape in danger of becoming like Blackberry?

    If nothing else, the IQ feature is a gamechanger, actually letting the vaper know when he needs to clean his contacts or similar.

    Is Provape in danger of becoming like Blackberry?

    Reverse battery protection is worth real money to me. I guarantee that I would, at least once, stick the battery of a replaceable battery dna30 in the wrong way. Step-down gives me the ability to use a wider range of toppers with a wider range of juices. Who's to say that I won't want to...

    Best joke wins a ZMAX 510 battery mod!

    There's a jazz standard called "All of Me" by Marks & Simons from 1931 that features the lyrics: All of me Why not take all of me Can't you see I'm nothing without you. I've always wanted to compose a response titled "My car's got a small trunk".

    Official ProVari 3 Thread - P3

    I actually disagree to some extent, for one particular reason. The most popular and convenient way to oxidize the coil on an RBA is to pulse a device attached to the RBA. This is also possibly the most dangerous point as far as getting a short and venting a battery, due to the fact that you're...
