9news.com story on Ecigs (Denver)

It's kinda inaccurate, and brief. However, some of the comments there are good to read. Especially from the tobaccophobes.

I wonder if I could slip a link to my store in the comments

I heard the Post had an article a few weeks ago, but I missed it. This is the first local report I've seen. It had all the detail and accuracy I've come to expect from our news stations

 

[RandallFlagg]

Hey! I saw your post. Think I'll reply there to you just to irk the others...

 

[Nephthys]

I hate that I masochistically read comments. Sigh.

Ah,yes. The latest way for smokers to BS themselves into thinking they've "quit". All they've done is change their delivery device. They're still addicted to the nicotine...and unless they stop using it, they'll eventually go back to smoking.

Heard it 30 times a day when I worked the Colorado Quitline. Those of us who quit cold turkey years ago and are still quit are patiently waiting for the rest of you to figure it out...

Obviously working a helpline is not their thing; the lack of empathy and support is astounding.

At least it wasn't bad like the news story we had on Long Island...

Don't those helplines receive tax dollars?

It all becomes clear to me now...

They're really going to be mad when they find out that these can be built in a garage.
8-o

Do the Denver vapers ever get together? I'm not normally a GT type person, but I would love to see other styles of PV IRL and ... well... just not be so alone in my new-found passion.

I don't know. I'm still new here and waiting for my first ecig to come in the mail.

I just read that entire thread.
My advise?
Go after and expose the people funding these kinds of legislation against ecigs.
Roaches hate the light.
And if you tack on the wording like, "They want us to keep using tobacco products to fund their campaigns," others will take notice.

On the plus side, though...
Their drawing attention to ecigs will get more people interested in them, and our number will grow to a level that they CANNOT ignore.

I'm fairly anti-social in real life, but I might be up to meeting some of you.

I'm not really anti-social, I just don't get out much and fear I'm extremely boring. Especially since I don't drink. Who wants to talk to a sober software engineer?

Don't be so down on yourself, you just gave me a good chuckle...
what kind of software do you engineer???

Still havnt worked it out though, Or have we?
I've been searching for homemade vaporizers with not much luck,
I know myself and several others are playing with Glo-Plugs and several other options but nothing as good as an atomizer has surfaced yet.

A really drunk chick?lol

I think people who fear they are boring cant be boring because they care that they might be. Truly boring people don't know they are boring.

Fibre Channel SAN switch firmware, primarily. Company is expanding into many different areas, so I'm getting into IP switching and HBA/CNA's.

I'm not just a computer geek, tho. I'm also a certified gun nut, part time conspiracy theorist, an ordained minister and a practicing Druid.

 

[eplanet]

you don't sound the slightest bit boring!!!

I've quit smoking before, for seven years. I gained about 30 lbs the first year, and another 20 after that. A few months ago, I quit for 3 weeks, and gained 8 lbs. I started vaping 6 weeks ago, and haven't gained the first pound. Maybe these should be marketed as a healthy way to smoke and a cure for obesity!
