Major league baseball will NEVER be the same ;)

Last night, I had the honor of being the 1st person to vape @ the Jake! (way better name... i hate progressive field, but i digress) I also got to see a triple steal--which was also very cool.

Anyway, i didn't vape in my seat--too many little kids around--but when my buddy and i went up to the box office to swap some tickets for new dates, i took advantage of the diversion to grab a few puffs. After only the second, I heard the old dreaded, "No smoking here!" call from an approaching security guard. Calmly, I unscrewed the battery from the atomizer to demonstrate that i was not, in fact, smoking at all...

He was amazed. He also asked where HE could get one! :D He then called over his supervisor and asked me to demonstrate. I happily obliged and explained the devise. The supervisor broke into a grin and said "high-tech cigarette! I like it!" He also assured me that since no tobacco or smoke was involved, i was in no violation of their policy and that i was welcome to puff away! But asked me to be discreet lest old school smokers got the wrong idea and lit up.

I really need to establish a commission deal with one of our suppliers... I could have made 50 sales for them last nite! :cry:

The moral of the story is: I haven't enjoyed a game that much in years!!!! And yes, we won! Sorry Chicago.... :(

Imagine the enlightened day, Bananadoc, when the bullpen is full of uniformed players not leaning forward to spit chewing tobacco every few seconds, but instead all puffing calmly on their e-cigs or contemplating a home run while sipping an e-pipe.

Or, better yet, I'm gonna invent e-chewing tobacco! I'll call it E-Chew. :mrgreen:

Someone will shout "E-Chew" to a vendor and other fans will chorus together, "God bless you."

We'll make it kinda like those wax Halloween lips. It just slips over the teeth. When you blow through it, it produces a shrill whistle to cheer the local team at bat. But all the while, it leaks liquid onto the gums that will be absorbed like it is from snus or chew! To refill your lips, just drip into the strip.

And we'll put team logos on the lips!

Go Rays!

True story: I was going snorkeling in the Florida Keys and knew we'd be floating around for an hour or more, looking at and diving the coral reefs. I knew I'd want a cigarette. So I drilled a quarter-inch hole near the top of the snorkel, where I could put a lit cigarette. I figured I'd get my smoke that way. Just suck hard on the snorkel. Didn't work. Air coming through the snorkel's intake diluted the smoke to nothing. When I put a hand over the top of the snorkel, I soaked my cig and it went out.

Which brings us to a better idea. We put a hole in the center of wax lips and stick our e-cig in there! When we need a draw, we just suck in through the wax lips. And, honest, when I went searching the Web for an image of wax lips, this was the first one I found with a human in it. It is kinda funny though.

Diving the Keys..... My friend you have just transported me back to the early 80's! Dive sombrero reef and Looey reef during the day and the Duvall Crawl at night.... repeat as necessary. nice!

on my hands and knees in the Florida keys!
 
All is rocking along here in the usual disharmony. Welcome back. We've solved nothing in your absence; e-smoking is as big an unknown as ever. I finally got into mixing Bickford with vegetable glycerine and alcohol, and might see a light at the end of the Nicotine Tunnel. I love that vapor!

ooooh! Bickford WITH vegetable glycerine and alcohol--interesting. The straight Bickfords is getting a bit too lite for me...of late. Admittedly, i am forgetting to vape more than remembering... not sure if that is good or bad.

Went to the jake last night to watch the tepid tribe fold like a house of cards to D-troit and the eciggie never left my pocket. maybe a new recipe might rekindle the old flame... where do you get the vegetable glycerine?
