Yeah, probably in none of ours - something even newer will come along some day... Never know...
I originally thought that the dark period would only be 5 or 10 years. But, as I see how well the FDA played its hand, I'm becoming not so sure.

They've set things up to destroy vaping. They've created the perfect storm of propaganda, with perfect timing. The will not directly destroy vaping. But, they've set it up so that they can cripple it and let the states do the rest.

If it's too expensive to vape, most people will just smoke instead. Especially with all the lies about vaping. They've set it up so that vaping may well end up costing twice as much as smoking.

I hope I'm wrong.

Now I've made myself very sad.

Don't be sad, make yourself happy. :D

Am I stocking up, sure it only makes sense. There will be some rough patches without doubt but the FDA will not kill vaping. As Victor Hugo said "Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come."

I think one of the reasons vapin is targeted is exactly because "we" achieved stunning results with no help from government, public health or any alphabet organizations. That makes us a bunch of surly upstarts who need to be taught the error of our ways. :lol: Free enterprise baby!!! :pervy:

FDA GFY :nun:

What browser, plug-in, add-on, extension, or application are you using. I use to do that but Google/YouTube then blocked that ability.

I'd really like to save some vaping videos! :thumb:
I am running Windows 8.1 on my laptop and am using Hyper For Youtube-Pro Features. I had just the free version and paid I think 3.00 for the pro version that downloads videos to my computer. I got the program through the Windows store.

Cats already out of the bag, and it's to simple to replicate for it to ever be regulated out of existence.
Thank ya'll for reminding me about what I used to know, before I got all caught up in everything.

"Nothing is more powerful than an idea whose time has come."

I wonder if I have room for that in my signature. I need a constant reminder.

I'm running Linux. I had something that worked for a few weeks. Then it stopped. Maybe I'll reinstall it or look for something. else,

I cant like your post because the truth of it makes me too mad. We collectively disrupted way too many powerful people and massive corporations in currently regulated industries. It's worried me for the 3 years I've been vaping. When I dropped cigs on a dime along with my wife I was like "OMG I never thought this was possible! Not smoking and still feeling "normal"?!? Wut!?!".

Then my best friend who never even tried to quit in 30 years quit instantly. So did his wife. Then I read countless identical stories on ecf. I quickly realized this could be the end of cigs and NRTs. And that scared me. Cig companies and NRT companies aren't going down. They are going to manipulate and take over. And here we are...

I've had my attitude adjusted. I refuse to be sad. WE WILL FIGHT AND WE WILL WIN.

I use Clip Converter. You can choose the quality of the conversion. It has worked great for me so far (Windows 7, Firefox).

between here and there
Do you cancel the items while logged in to Paypal or is the cancellation done at the retailer's website?
AT the retailer's website after the sale is completed through paypal. Just be sure to 1. add a few items more than you want so you can have enough funds to cover for the items you do want. 2. As soon as you get a order # from FT go to that page and look for the 'cancel this order' button. A popup will appear asking if you want a refund to paypal or would you like a gift certificate? After clicking on the gift cert another number will be issued which is the gift cert. You can find where it is stored by clicking on the gift certificate button located on the left side of your screen towards the bottom. After putting back all the items you do want and including the ones from Aspire into your cart, make sure you copy the gift cert # to insert on payment page on the checkout.
Hope this helps.
:)
