    Marketing to kids

    I might be wrong but are you referring to my post? After rereading I can understand why my sentiments might be construed as me saying "I'm going to vape wherever, whenever, and the hell with anyone I offend". However that is not my point at all. Etiquette and courtesy are one thing, bending...

    If you opened a B&M with unlimited funds.......

    I would also go with a lot of what has already been mentioned. Separate areas for different levels, building station, lounge (probably have a barista on site), classes/seminars for different levels. I'd also host a vape meet once a month and a weekly support group for new vapers (lead by someone...

    Did my first little PIF yesterday

    That's awesome! I hope it works out for for your aunt. I've done PIF (or as I like to call it "vapevangelism") a few times, though not as much as I would like to. It's always a debate for me as to what to give a smoker. On one hand an ego battery with a good tobacco juice in a good clearo makes...

    Backup Gear?

    Damn... you mean business. To OP, I don't know if you can/would leave vape gear at your work but I know I keep a 650mAh ego battery, charger, ce4 clearo, and a 7mL bottle of juice at my desk. If I were to forget my gear when I go anywhere other than work I would probably grab an njoy king from...

    Marketing to kids

    I say why not. Those who would seek to attack this community will spin anything and everything they can in an attempt to drum up sympathy for their cause. For the sake of compromise I'll give them the no sales to minors, child-proof caps, ingredient listings, and even a warning label for anyone...

    Did i screw up?

    I don't feel knowledgeable enough to speak with any authority on the issue of boiling other than to say it certainly wouldn't hurt to do so just to be safe. You should be able to buy distilled water by the gallon at your local grocery store. Distilled is different from filtered. The process of...

    FDA Anybody catch the FDA webinar replay from May 29?

    LOL! I just signed on to post this myself. Guess we were listening to the same thing tonight. The woman in that video is seriously annoying. Though I have to say that the one informative thing I got out of the webinar is the following email askctp@fda.hhs.gov. With all of the ambiguity...

    Halo Tribeca is a true ADV for me

    That would be good if you could try it first. I would more or less agree with the description on their website. It's a pretty harsh, no-frills tobacco flavor.

    Halo Tribeca is a true ADV for me

    I have to agree completely that Longhorn is disgusting. I've noticed that Halo flavors in particular are extremely hit or miss for me. Either I absolutely love them (Torque 56, Tribeca, Voodoo, Belgian Cocoa, Captain Jack, Kringles Curse, Malibu, Tiki Juice and the sadly discontinued Bella...

    Halo Tribeca is a true ADV for me

    Tribeca is one of my favorite eliquids (probably #2 or 3). I pretty much only use juices that can be an ADV for me and most of what is in my rotation is Halo. Have you tried Torque 56?

    Let me introduce myself

    Congratulations and welcome. Also, very sorry to hear about your friend.

    newb post & quesion: Vape shop sexism?

    Sorry your first experience with a B&M was so bad. My personal experiences have been pretty varied myself as far as the attitudes/knowledge of the employees. Oddly enough I had a similar experience myself when I (a male) went with a friend of mine (a female) because she wanted to get set up with...

    oops I spent over $1000 in first month vaping

    I don't think I've ever spent that much in the course of a month, but I remember spending a lot when I first started. I think it's just part of the process for us "enthusiast" types. It's a lot of trial and error to figure out what you like and also get a sense of when you're getting a good...

    Tools of the trade, what do you use? What are your favorite?

    My favorite vape related tool is probably my Lenk LTT-110 butane torch. It works great for oxidizing SS mesh. I also like to use toilet paper for cleaning inside my drip tips. For me it seems to work better than paper towels for that purpose. Beyond that, it's all the usual tools (jewelers...

    First RDA cotton build

    Yeah, YouTube is great for vape related info, I'll try there again but what I was seeing when I looked earlier today was for either silica or sub-ohm builds. The more I think about it, the more I feel that the wick was the area that needs improvement. I'll probably try again tomorrow after...

    First RDA cotton build

    As the title says, this is my first attempt at building a coil using a cotton wick. Twisted 34ga kanthal, 2.2ohms and built on a black nimbus clone. Would love to get some feedback since the performance seems a bit underwhelming compared to my genesis builds with similar specs. It takes about 2...

    FDA Michael Siegel at TMA: E-cig companies should make "quit smoking" claims.

    Hmmmm.... this is an interesting proposition. I think any vendor who wanted to try this had better consult a lawyer that they have absolute trust in (and have a decent sized war chest). Even so, it is rather intriguing. A statement along the lines of "don't smoke, vape", "smoking is out, vaping...

    Coughing

    I would agree with pretty much everyone else that has posted so far. Since you mentioned that your wife's 18mg juice makes you cough as well I would assume that it probably isn't the nic level (still... 36mg really is crazy high). Coughing is pretty normal when you stop smoking, also vaping will...

    Is it just me or did I progress pretty quick?

    I was wondering the same thing. I don't want to knock someone too hard when I don't know all the details of their situation but still the mentioning of having just recently turned 18 raises some flags in my head. Also I get concerned when I hear of new vapers basically going straight into fairly...

    FDA CASAA FDA Call to Action #2!

    That would definitely be appreciated if she did. At any rate the FDA is absolutely underestimating their numbers with respect to ecigs. Assuming that their estimate of 1,675 products currently on the market is correct (I feel safe saying it isn't but for the sake of argument let's say it is), 25...
