Just watched a recent video of Zen, looks like he's going the way of" paraphernalia" since he's lost provape as his home base
I'm wondering if a lot of companies are going to do that. I like to think it's all in how you market it!

it's too bad that vaping as we know it ( getting people off cigarettes) could be morphing into Cheech and Chong

I felt it has already degraded to Cheech and Chong every time I walk into a B&M which is now rarely.

I'm tired of trying to better myself and get slapped down by people who have no interest in my life!

you're not alone Lefty, we may be witnessing the ultimate irony , what once was legal and promoted healthier living may literally go " up in smoke".......The people you speak of are well aware of what they are doing

Every b&m I've been in has been a huge disappointment. High wattage and advanced builds hobby shops. I've usually walked in with someone new and the best they can do is over $155, sometimes not including charger and batteries. I couldn't tell them how to use and maintain that gear, and not interested in figuring it out. Zero for m2l vaping. Not even a sub box kit in stock. Nothing over 6mg juice. There's a shop every couple of miles.

Each box holds a gallon. 1 of those liters is over the strength we can talk about.
That's 1,275,000 mg of nic in those 3 boxes
That's 44 years worth for me & Mrs me (in our 50's)
I make juice for a few more people so I'm having pizza tonight :thumb:
At least you have your priorities in proper order.

Worth watching. Clear explanation of events.

Quite possibly, the problem is... it just goes on forever and I'm not on nearly enough molecular assistance this early in the afternoon to spend 2+ hours of my life listening to this thing. I tried. I really did. I hit fast-forward 19 times, and I still can't listen to 2 hours of this. I give up for now, and am going outside to enjoy the rest of my Saturday. Cheers!

Well, we live in strange times. There are all these companies that make vaporizers and toppers... Over on the nic side of things, The End is near and the FDA has decided everything is a tobacco product. Over on the green rush side of the picture, you can keep selling and improving pretty much the same hardware, and instead of being a tobacco product, it's made out of rainb0wz, f4iry dusT, wishful thinking, and g00d vi1b3S. It's the dawn of a nascent industry that's growing like crazy and lots and lots and lots of cash is raining down. It's 2009/2010 over yonder, and the wild west is just beginning. Other than being a good designer, and colorful lunatic, Zen seems to primarily be a businessman... so, he pivoted. ProVape shut their doors instead. To each their own.

The cheech and chong side of the vape industry, isn't disrupting something that BT and BP are firmly entrenched in, and it's not de-valuing tobacco bonds. All it's doing is bringing a brand new stream of tax dollars which has exceeded all expectations and forsecasts raining down on the landscape.

Whatever your personal feelings about legalization (mine are quite positive), the only thing our government actually cares about... is money. There's a LOT of that. New money, they never had before. The green rush isn't disrupting any established industry.

Vaping is dead, long live vaping, just don't put any tobacco in that herbal vaporizer bro, or you'll be breakin's da law!

Agreed.

Except a backup genny might cost some people less money than the amount of meat they have in a freezer.

And depending on where they live, that may be a major consideration.

That 1% (which could easily be well over 3%) would just be a bonus.

Correct. I am about to move 17 miles from town totally off grid. I will be getting ba generator. Yoy can get some generators for $200 and up. I'm going to start with a generator and later go solar. And use LED Lights. The big drain will be microwave and fridge.

I do a LOT of cooking now with my alcohol stoves i designed made from 53 mm aluminium cans (size of 8.4 Oz Red Bull cans) most are V8, Ocean spray Juice, Tree Top Apple Juice, and Monster energy drinks.

Still blows my mind why.

PA deals with snow pretty well.

Everyone knows how to get by and the streets are cleared with chemical treatments... which works way better than the mechanical treatment of Wyoming.

And eggs.

I've come to learn there's an obvious answer to EVERY weather disaster.

I just don't know why it's all perishable ingredients that specifically make French toast when combined.

Or where these people are getting power to cook it.

:blink:

Rollye James female radio talk show host asked why everyone wanted to make French toast in a weather emeegency because she could never find bread milk and eggs on Shelves when she tried to stock up.

Do a post on off grid vaping. I've seen that question pop up before.
