    Ha-Ha..I see you look at the glass as being half full.
    I see it is as being half empty.

    You beat me to it.

    As for how much saved and not smoked see my signature.

    I disagree.
    This engineer knew that when the transmitter wasn't pushing enough power to the satellite
    and the incoming video was full of glitches it had nothing to do with the heavens being larger than they should be.

    Yup, and also it can get better if we...
    The point is that if you only have a half a glass of water a (good) engineer
    knows it's time to get some more.

    The glass is always full. Sometimes it's full of air. Sometimes a combination.
    Now THAT is a physicist's perspective. Very good. You forgot to mention the temperature
    and atomic weight...
    Sometimes the air is hot and worth it's weight in validity. :lol: something about relativity
    and profit... or something. :unsure:

    I tend to lean on the realist side but the engineers perspective is not wrong. I have a peak building load, that's the water, I have a system that needs to cool/heat that load, that's the glass. If my glass is half full, my system is over-sized. Opening the windows when it's 95 out to get "more water" would not be recommended, decreasing the size of the system would be.

    Still waiting on my mini-USB rubber plugs that I ordered so still not totally stocked.

    And since someone posted a video by a muckraker stirring .... for attention here's today's video from some actual advocates that actively advocate for vaping rights.


    Good info on this vid, thanks for posting.

    Let's have a knock down drag out fight about this, shall we?
    I mean it is so important..it has to be decided now.
    We could get more water, we could get a smaller/bigger glass (beaker or boiling flask, I prefer erlenmyers but we can discuss the merits of each later..) and we could use a larger or smaller cooling/heating system (Co2 or a good bunsen burner)
    BUT, the truli important question is
    what kind of coffee do you plan to put in that hot water? Or ice tea mix if the water is cold?
    Would you have too much or too little of whichever beverage? Would Jesus be handy to turn the water into vino and get the multitude of angry pessimist vapers drunk and docile?

    What does it all mean, Mr Natural?

    Dumb question but why would these make it through? If they are refillable technically they are the same as any open ended systems and even if they are not refillable they still contain the stuff the FDA objects too. What am I missing?
    Some are closed just insert a pod use it till it's gone, toss it. We have no idea if they could be approved just like we don't know if disposables could be, but closed systems "seem" to be what FDA "might" approve. But as we all know you can add juice to a disposable and a pod could be hacked to add juice. So who knows at this point what will be approved. It just seems closed systems have a better chance.

    I don't understand how the FDA rationalizes this but then little the FDA does makes senses to me.

    It has to do with a finished tobacco product BUT would FDA approve a Provari and a Kabuki topper as assembled as a finished product ? They might, who knows at this point. But if I was Provape I might try it if I had the necessary cash laying around :)
