Actually, all phones sold by Verizon (or is Verizon branded) are unlocked. And since all Android phones are "world phones", you can switch the mode over to GSM and pop in an AT&T or T-Mobile sim card and it will work, although the LTE connection with the US GSM carriers are limited to just one frequency. The only thing that is "locked" is the Access Point Name (APN). Verizon phones only has the Verizon APN and you have to manually add the non-Verizon APN in order to enable data.
I did not know that! That's very good information to have! :)

So what do you know about SIM cards? I got to keep the one out of my old Note 4, so now I have 2. Can I use the old one or is it dead now?

It's too bad that the news media here in the US would never air a spot like this.

Facebook

The doctor being interviewed said that while they don't have long term studies on vaping, the longest term study was 18 months, everything shows that vaping is 20 times safer than smoking. When the newscaster asked about the studies cited on the internet that says that vaping is harmful, the doctor basically called it junk science and misreporting the study results. One study he cited found that when nose cells were exposed to high concentration of vapor over a long period of time, it showed some cellular damage after 8 weeks of exposure. So the media reports that vaping is dangerous. He said that what the media didn't report is that in the same study, exposing the nose cells to cigarette smoke for 24 hours actually killed the cells.

And he debunked the whole argument about nicotine being addictive. He said that only nicotine in cigarettes, combined with all the chemicals in cigarettes, are addictive. If nicotine by itself was addictive, he said that people would become addicted to NRT's like gums and lozenges.
That's what I have been saying! It's good to hear an actual doctor say the same thing, lol.

I am also of the mindset that nicotine is no more dangerous than caffeine. In acceptable doses, of course! The one regulation I am behind is setting acceptable limits for nicotine consumption, and the FDA doesn't seem interested AT. ALL. in doing that. Well, that and making sure food-grade ingredients are safe, but most of that work has already been done! What we have going on is nothing but a witch hunt and it irks me to no end. Wouldn't it be amazing if this was the year we finally get some people with letters behind their names to perform actual studies and publish the results? You know, before it's too late and they don't care anymore. :(

So I finally got around to trying out the RBA deck for the Cubis. It came pre-built with a vertical coil in it, and a spare horizontal coil in the package. The vertical coil is a standard kanthal coil at 0.5 ohms. The RBA is a bottom feed, but it also has two wick holes in the side of the coil barrel as well. This provides a lot better juice flow and allows the vertical coil to be used up to 75 watts. I actually like the RBA a lot better than the factory built coils. I'm vaping the RBA at 35 watts and I'm getting a nice warm flavorful vape. With the factory coils and my max VG juices, I can't go above 20-22 watts otherwise it starts to taste a little burnt. The RBA will give me the same slightly burnt taste if I crank it above 50 watts.
I need to get me one of those :p

Go read the reviews on Bull City's site for TFA's pineapple first. I was actually thinking of ordering that one on my next order and comparing. It has a better rating than the Capella's. And unfortunately, we have a small bottle of FA pineapple that smells like a pine TREE, and the reviews on that say it tastes as bad as it smells. I'm so glad I trusted my nose on that one and didn't use IT in this juice. That FA bottle might get tossed at some point, I think. Or it might just get "lost" one day and I'll never be able to find it again, who knows? ;)
It's crazy how different flavors are from different vendors! I think I finally found the right banana I was looking for, and it took 3 times to get it right, lol! I have been ordering from e-cigarette express for my flavors and they carry a few different lines so I always read the reviews before I pick one. There is not a whole lot you can do with a bad flavoring! :D

I'm so happy. Our snake just shed for the second time since we got her. The first time was the day after we brought her home, and the shed was broken into multiple pieces and she had a piece stuck on her tail. I attributed it to stress and fluctuating humidity levels, but I've been worried for the next shed. Her shed this morning came off perfectly in one solid piece. :D
Awww, she's happy and healthy! That's so great to hear. :)

You really only need one. From what I understand, Verizon sims expire after one year if they were activated and you no longer use it.

They're actually not expensive at all. I bought mine at MVS and they charge $4 for it. I ended up getting six of them.

But that sim won't be attached to your number though. You would need to have it associated with an account and number. If you were to add another line, then you could use that extra sim for the new line and in a different phone. You can only use one sim per number.

Honestly, after using the bottom feed factory coils for the past month plus some, and using the RBA for today, the RBA is a much better design. The factory coil with just the bottom feed is a bit too restrictive when you are using max vg juices. It definitely works a lot better when the RBA has wick holes on the side as well as the bottom.
