    Puffon is like the wrapper upper. The calm after a storm. We’ll be scrambling around looking for the bottles that fit our squonkers or the perfect mm size in orings and you come along and...BAM!...you have all the answers to our problems. ;)
    LOL!
    Not all, just been squonking for 5 years...

    You ok? Do you have a fever? Should we call Dr. Vapemail?
    :lol: No just cooling the jets. Starting to think about Christmas shopping now. :eek:

    However, ever since @hittman posted about him liking the profile unity rta with mesh I’m very intrigued. :facepalm: Anyone use mesh?

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
    Politicians don't understand much of anything or we wouldn't be in this mess. Blackouts might work for specific retailers but I don't believe they have any effect on government. Even if every vaper stopped buying ANYTHING starting today what do you think is going to happen? "Sorry we made you guys mad, here's your flavors back. We cancelled the PMTAs too."
    Its biz,, a calculated challenge,,, Politicians know most people don't have enough self control to challenge them with financial boycott,,, back when 911,, that was a key statement from Bush,,, encouraging people to go back to shopping,, huge part of our economy depends on shopping. - everything is a calculated bet,,, your car & health insurance is a bet a company made on your health / driving,, they tend to win most of the time,,, just like the casino wins most of the time
    The current bet is people will go back to smoking,, that is secure tax revenues,,

    As for making us mad,,, really only vapers on these message boards are mad,,, joe6pack vaper doesn't care,, he will smoke or take a pill.. give back flavors? They only went away for retail,,, has no impact on the diy community. In fact everything the govt is doing now has little to no impact on most of us- forever

    CASAA should have been more prepared and proactive in response.

    Pmta has always been out there,, regulation is likely needed in vaping standards,, we should be glad we got to see "it all" especially if regulation leads to pod style only systems,,, average person probably needs those safety training wheels


    I think about money all the time,, sorta been my job for decades,,, never dis-respect it,,, it will gladly leave you

    I was reading people had trouble with this rba, did you get it to work?
    The one thing I did was changed the sealing o-ring. It came with a 1.5mm thick ring installed, I switched to a 1. They include multiple rings, both 1 & 1.5mm thickness, in the box.

    The ring change was needed to get proper contact.

    I think CASAA has done a great job with limited resources. A few volunteers who probably have regular jobs as well. They have kept us informed with call to action and encouraged participation and advocacy. What more can they do unless more of us volunteer to do the work?

    I don't think anything we could have done, singly or collectively, would have stopped this runaway train. They have been out to stamp out vaping since the beginning.

    I understand and agree with a lot of what you're talking about here but I don't agree with your original assertation that me personally stopping shopping is going to have any effect at all on anyone but myself. I also don't like being told what to do as I now have an itch to put in an order just to rebel against it.

    I'm sorry I didn't mean to boss you, it was meant as a generalation type post.

    That makes sense, I was reading it wouldn't make contact so sounds like you found & fixed the problem :)
