That's more ineffective ammo for us to use in this war against these tyrants which we can never seem to win.

Right. I made that very point in all my letters to our brave legislators, even named specific flavors of various edibles--not one of them bothered to answer and offer an explanation. They just insist that we have to save the children. :facepalm:

    One would think so, wouldn't one? I made that very point in all my letters to our brave legislators, even named specific flavors of various edibles--not one of them bothered to answer and offer an explanation. They just insist that we have to save the children. :facepalm:
    Agree, the youth issue seems to be the focus being used cause they have very little else to go on.
    In truth, if you make anything illegal to youths, they will go do it. Weve all done it.
    It's still a totally poor excuse tho.
    I think most of us tried smoking at the age of around 11 onwards just because it was naughty and the big thing to do. So it's a no brainer that youths are going to do the same with vaping.
    My gripe with this tho is, if vaping is banned or restricted, the youths will try smoking again.
    Given the two choices, smoking or vaping, I'd much rather my child, if they are going to try it behind my back, would be to vape. This is purely on the true evidence that smoking kills and is highly addictive. Vaping doesnt and vaping isn't.
    The people that say it needs to be banned are just using this reason as an excuse and are not looking at the wider picture.
    I remember many many years ago when I started senior school (11 upwards), virtually all of us smoked. So it's hardly surprising that youths will try vaping.
    This is NOT a valid reason to ban or restrict vaping for all.

    I have no issues with sensible restrictions--but they should be the same for all undesirable-for-children substances like alcohol, tobacco, and marijuana. Age restrictions are fine. Wiping out an entire industry that's providing life-saving THR product for adults in the name of "saving the children" is the height of hypocrisy and borderline criminal.

    Exactly Katya. Spot on. Have you thought about standing for president.

    Bought one Immediately
    Nice. have been looking for something like this for awhile

    Thanks for the Post
    I found the screen times out so the lights aren't blinking 24/7. A tap on the box relights the screen. Nice touch. I suspect that AC chargers tend to max out at 60 watts because above that the case needs to be ventilated, which this one is. My impression of the device is the manufacturers were trying hard to make a competent device.

    I'm so done with ejuicesteals, every time I order from them they either refund part of my order but still keep the full shipping price or substitute with something I have no interest in.

    This time I ordered 3x Vision Spinner 2 for my mom and 2x CoV Mini Volt for myself, they substituted the Mini Volts for two more Spinners.

    In what universe is a spinner a substitute for a little box mod? Order black and they substitute silver, that's a substition I can live with.

    Just a heads up.

    *edit*
    I contacted ejuicesteals and was refunded the full amount for the two spinner substitutions, the received support makes up for the shenanigans.

    Everyone will tell you something different to stock up on. My choice besides plenty of 100mg nic was many geekvape mods. For me they have been bulletproof. I've got six or seven of the solos, two minis, a legend, an aegis max, aegis squonk, aegis 100w, aegis x. I also like the Jac DNA75 mods and have four of those with a couple extra dna boards that I could replace myself. I've got a bunch of other mods too but those are my favorites.On tanks, I've accumulated many different rtas over the years. I went with geekvape also on a bunch of my tanks. I have 10 zeus single coil rta's, several ammit mtl rdas, a couple of the zeus dual, zeus x, and a zeus x mesh, and a handful of cerberus tanks that I stocked vaporesso gtccell coils for . I also decided to stock up on some drop in coils for the zeniths and zlide 4ml tanks. I have a variety of resistances and probably about 250 coils or so. I have also done a bunch of reviews for a few different companies so have been fortunate enough to add those to the stash. I also like the Vaporesso Gen mods and can use the gtccell coils in most of the tanks that come with those.
    Thank you. The whole stocking up process can spiral out of financial control super fast. I ordered a 75W ILeaf, finally ordered an Agreis Solo, Dwarv 22mm mini. Wondering about the top fill option. Still need batteries & chrger? Tried to find a store to order more Eliquid & Batteries To put one orderer together that covers shipping. Wild Vape is out of batteries

    So I have been very fortunate as far as people pif(fing)(pay it forward) me things I need or want.

    With everything going on and September 9th being right around the corner I have an item that I feel might help somebody who wants to have something that they don't need commercial coils for but isn't comfortable building. Though I do not advise using this item to determine whether or not building is for you because you're not going to get the flavor from this and it's not really building its placing cotton pads.

    It's called a riftcore solo and it's by joyetech.

    It's got a "rfc" heating element rather than a coil and the only thing you need to replace other than Ejuice is the Cotton pad. It's not really wicking it's literally laying down two small pieces of cotton onto a heating element. Now there was some controversy regarding this heating element and whether or not it was safe so if what I have said sounds interesting I would like you to do a little bit of research on the product to make sure that you're comfortable.

    I personally don't care for it I don't find it to be very flavorful but if I didn't rebuild I would find it to be very useful. I bought it before I was sure that I would be happy to rebuild things as a stash item basically but once I started rebuilding I fell in love with that and I've never looked back so there is no reason for me to have this.

    It seems to produce a fair amount of vapor and it definitely works. But flavor is not what I would expect from a typical rebuildable. The stats say that it's best around 30 Watts and originally the company was claiming that this heating element (while it is replaceable) could be expected to last for a million hits. I have no way of knowing the accuracy of that but I would expect this heating element to last for a very long time.

    It does have a 510 connection it is in the style of an RTA it comes with some precut pieces of cotton that you use two at a time and also a pad of cotton that looks like a muji pad that you need to cut yourself when you run out of the pre cuts and I could throw in a couple more mujis y but you can get the cotton for these very very cheaply on Amazon or anywhere else. It's 510 pin does protrude but I wouldn't use this on a mechanical device or unregulated because it's not a typical coil. Then again if you're using Mechanicals you're probably building with some confidence and this is more for someone who doesn't want to build.

    This item is not for sale. I will not accept any money for it and I would put it on a classified section but I do feel like it's appropriate for the stocking up section as there are people who are coming to the realization that vaping as we know it is in extreme Danger but are not building. If the moderators need me to move it I'm happy to do so. This is a pay it forward situation. I'm happy to pay for the shipping to anyone in the continental United States.

    It has some spare cotton and used to have a little metal thing that you could use as a guide to cut the cotton the right size I've lost that I believe. There are little pieces of cotton that you can use as a guide that have already been cut by the manufacturer or you can simply eyeball it. It also has a spare glass. First interest pm gets it but I won't be able to ship it until probably next Thursday.

    You're exactly right with their using the won't somebody please think of the children as a cover. They've done it for many many years that's always there fall back plan whenever an industry is starting to eek away at money that's being made and campaign contributions and such. It really boils down to who has the most money in order to have strong lobbying positions and who can buy the most politicians. As far as risk goes in vaping is very very low compared to other risky things that teens do. The only accurate argument that can be said in the teens trying out nicotine department where E-cigarettes are worse than cigarettes is that it's harder to notice that your teenager is vaping because it doesn't have that strong smell now of course kids can get around that with cigarettes God knows I did. Also it's really only an argument against very small stealthy devices. There are some pods that I've seen that I wouldn't know that they were a vaping device. I still don't feel that even that is a good enough argument because just like you said I would much rather my kid vape than smoke and ultimately I am responsible for parenting my children not the government. In their studies or their surveys really that they've done even with the increase in teens vaping there still has been a decrease of teens using nicotine products. And in the studies with vaping showing a prevalent amongst teens compared to other nicotine forms they didn't do a good enough job of differentiating between actual addiction and kids trying something which is not only normal but can actually be healthy. I'm not saying that trying a cigarette or trying a vape is a healthy thing for a child to do just that it's a healthy part of development for children to try risky things. And again when we're talkin risk factors e-cigarettes fall very low. Meanwhile alcohol is not only risky to the teenager it's risky to those around the teenager because a drunk teenager can get people killed. It also is inebriated so not only is the bad choice to drink being done but other bad choices that can have huge repercussions can be made while intoxicated. So there's not only the primary risk but there's a ton of secondary. With e cigarettes or even cigarettes that's simply not true

    NOPE - Not for "Me" - Got to much "Stuff" already, some brand new never used that I'm not ever going to be using . . . They're either to powerful for "Me" (over 100 watts/TC MODS) or too big since they use double batteries . . . Without out a doubt - I AM A TOOTLE PUFFER . . . One I've already put in the classies and will be posting more soon . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    And I'm sure they don't go out of their way to mention that perhaps amongst all risky behaviors vaping may not be top of the list for governmental intervention LOL. I honestly believe that if you were able to take a time machine and go back till like the first development of homo sapiens Sapient human beings those who were the equivalent to teenagers considering the early death life span that they must have had would have been trying to ride the woolly mammoth rather than trying to hunt it in a large group with their tribesmen.
