We need to bring Radio Shack back...

maybe radioshack of the 80's but they lost their way a long time ago. became a cell phone store and stopped selling much electronics. there actually is still one radioshack around here. i think its independently owned but they carry radioshack merchandise, well whatever is left of their soldering tools. i have some pinball machines and i bought an adjustable soldering iron, and solder their. that stuff will also prove useful when i have to start repairing mods vs. replacing them.

getting closer $205K raised towards suing these clowns. another $45k to go.

irony. they will taking our tax dollars to defend themselves against being sued for trying to protect us from ourselves..... what a mouthful

our only hope. cole/bishop amendment that forces the predicate date to be moved to 8/8/2106. as long as we can have the predicate date moved back on hardware we will be doing a little better.

lets just say the predicate date gets moved to 2016, and things that are already on the market can stay on the market does that mean that companies will stay in business. will things somewhat continue. will kanger stay in business for example if they are prohibited from doing R&D on new devices and can only sell designed 2016 and earlier. is that sustainable?

are companies continuing R&D right now, as we speak and just not releasing said products. have companies like kangertech already started to lay people off. i know they are in china, BUT regardless are they letting their R&D staff go?

The benefit if they move the predicate date to 2016, is substantial equivalence route to market which is less cumbersome. Provided substantial equivalence would still be an option.

We here all the time about a big wide world of other countries who still Vape on unimpeded. Very cool. The US however is a disproportionately large number when it comes to global sales. Something would still surely be left but if you take profits from the US market off the table, I have to think it makes the going a bit more difficult for the Kangers, sigelei, etc of the world. Smaller niche high end stuff would probably have an easier time.

Edit - I am encouraged/saddened by the campaign you link. Sort of sad that only 1100 vapers and 30 or 40 companies have joined in. Should be over a million$ DAGNABIT

Thanks my alert box is full of mannequins

Hahahahah. I've had quite a bit to catch up on. I was thinking about going back to my blue swirly avatar. I'm missing the colors.

It can't be too hard to mod one of these, if needed. It has a 510 connection and not much else.

Any like is fine by me.

I am almost positive that is one of the ones I contributed to, is there a way to check?

Dog whistle, laser and eCig all in one? That would be cool!

It is cool. I sold the first one and regretted it so picked up another one later. I have a couple other, longer mods that I think were from lasers as well.

Why does the price always drop on the vari's after I buy them? The Blue Lagoon and red/black fade is on special, still with free extension cap.

Speculating why the stickers are reduced if they plan to stay in biz. I will be oh so sad if they close up shop and move on to other endeavors.

You organize it and I am in. Is Scott McKenzie still alive? Can we get a rewrite to If you are going to DC, be sure to wear some flowers in your hair.

Can't believe legit Hana mods now cost between $49.00 - $100.00 + and Provari 2.5's around $ 50.00 and under.

Makes you wonder just how much profit they were pulling in when they were priced at MSRP if they are still making a profit at the now much lower prices.

part of it is that the R&D on a provari 2.5 has long been since paid off. that's part of the reason why any product is expensive at first. plus the provari is made out of pretty finely machined materials. there is a tool and die cost there which is already likely already paid off. the profit margins might be a lower but all they likely have into them now is the material costs. also who is going to pay $200+ for a mod that has limitations. no sub-ohm, 1 battery, and maybe 15-20W max. i think R&D and tooling costs have allot to do with it.

Yeah, those were my glory days, seems like yesterday, doesn't it? Sadly, McKenzie is no longer with us.

if its all plastic, what's the point. the build quality wouldn't be any better then anything else

Yes mine too, those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end

The point is the vape quality of a DNA 40 for $22 delivered.

Got my X-Tank 4 coils today from Vaporbeast Timing was perfect as I needed to change the coil in my Melo 3 mini. They work well in the Melo I liked them enough that for $.97 for a 5 pack (minus the 10% discount) I went back to Vaporbeast and they still had them on sale so I bought some more. I won't ever have to worry about not being able to build my own coils in my old age since I now have plenty of factory coils for my Melo AND they didn't cost a fortune.
