    i just hope these companies arent starting to liquidate selling at a small profit or even breaking even because they have to renew a 3yr lease on a large warehouse and dont expect to be in business two years from now.
    Also, who knows if banks are screwing with lines of credit and credit card processing for companies involved in vaping and/or shipping companies and PayPal tightening their T&Cs.

    Interesting times....

    Make darn sure they're not the fakes that have appeared recently.

    There are more fake HG2's!
    I have had good luck with Lightning Vapes and everything I have bought has been authentic. I did shy away from HG2's though due to the sheer amount of GOOD fakes out there lately. I only bought HE4 and HB2's from them this time...

    That is a perfect idea. :)
    Glad you like my idea. And NO the Cookie dough doesnt stay around long enough to be freezer burned.

    I want cookies 1-2 times a week and can bake 6-8 cookies in my toaster oven, and works great for me.

    I took apart one of my batts for my cordless drill - buncha 18490's
    Button top? Wrapped I would imagine, right?

    I have wondered about the cordless drills, what size batteries were inside, glad you posted that.

    Also, Stihl has a cordless line, of hand held equipment.
    I have wondered what's inside their battery pack as well.

    They actually had a pretty intricate wiring setup with protective circuits in them. I think that is why you don't here about fires with them much. I don't think you could harvest the batts from the - I was looking to see what it would take to replace them. The baby was no longer mainstream and vendors that did have them were asking a primo price...

    That's what happens when you take good care of your stuff - it lasts a long time, but becomes outdated for repairs...

    Sorry I didn't post the MVP and other stuff info last night. Finally ate dinner about 10PM and then promptly fell asleep on the couch.

    Here's the link to a search page showing all types of them they have. Be sure to look in their 99 Cent Store cateory for a bunch of other stuff whos prices end in $.99

    ECigSupply - Search Results for ""Innokin iTaste MVP""
    I ordered an MVP and then got asked for a license selfie. :( I called and emailed saying I wasn't doing that so they could cancel my order if they wanted. I hate the fact that they do that AFTER they take your money.

    I found this, but I have no idea what they are, other than a green wrapped battery.

    I also want to clarify that I'm only curious as to what's inside.
    I have *no* intention of using batteries scavenged from battery packs, can't imagine that would be a good idea.
    I guess *maybe* if times got *that* desperate, but I just don't ever see that happening. :)

    Generally, it's a bad idea to do so. ;)

    Sounds like they had other issues and probably the whole fda mess just
    put them over. I was really surprised though I thought they would sail
    on through unscathed in it all.

    I think perhaps greed was their biggest problem. I really liked those little njoy cigalikes. If they had been affordable they could easily have become my ADV. They were about the size of a regular cigarette and about the same weight. Very convenient and easy to use. I liked the taste as well.

    I do remember though that the last one I bought, several months ago, was defective. Could get no vapor from it and tossed it after a few attempts to make it work. So I never bought another.

    But there is no way I could justify spending $6 on ONE little cigalike that lasted several hours. Except to maybe use for a road trip.

    What i do is make a batch of sugar cookie dough roll it up in rolls 2 1/2 inches thick and stick in the freezer. When i want Cookies take the roll out of the freezer; cut a few slices off tge end and bake.

    This way there is no 4 dozen Cookies around to tempt me.

    So now the ladies will be stocking up on frozen cookie dough to temp the cute boys to build them coils in their old age. I see another thread coming.;)

    are those the same batteries, LG brown 3000 MAH that we use? damn that's allot of batteries. what's the lifespan in a vehicle because i know in our devices if you get two years that's pushing it. they have something like a 3-500 cycle life i think.

    realistically if you treat your cells like gold, not loose them or short them out what is the longest you could used on in a PV?

    planned obsolescence stinks. what's weird is some stuff seems to escape planned obsolescence. i have a 1948 farmall cub tractor. i use it for all of my mowing, snow plowing, and dragging downed trees around. anyways it seems like those machines have escaped planned obsolescence. many of the parts are still being mass produced, and cheaper then the original OEM. i put a brand new radiator into her a couple of years ago. i think it wasnt much more then $100. the machine runs a 60" mower and does a great job. almost everything has been re-produced, but take a much more modern machine that is lets say 25 years old and you can just about forget finding parts. some stuff is timeless and will be around forever, other stuff...... not so much

    the tractor is almost 70 years old and joke with people, its old enough to collect social security..... but she's no where near retired.

    Has this been mentioned yet? Sad to see NJOY filing for bankruptcy. :(
    E-cigarette maker files for bankruptcy
    NO NOT NJOY!!! So sad to hear this, they are not BT and were the early pioneers and ones that sued FDA back in 2009 or 2011 and won! I love their Samba Sun juice, so glad I made a good clone for it.

    I had no idea! We used to own a Prius, wonder if they used 18650's too? Their warranty on batteries was like 8 years??

    Yes the old tractors were made to last and last, my hubby has an old Farmall and an old John Deere 70, he loves his old stuff :) I guess that's why he keeps me around, I'm a classic vintage myself LOL!!!!!!:lol::lol::lol::lol:

    i couldnt agree more. there products were no longer satisfying me and i didnt use them very long, however they were the first on the market.... they did use the FDA and won. we would not be where we are today if it was not for them. god bless them. innovation would have been stifled before it has its chance to get its feet off the ground.
