Suppose a marijuana dispensary sells THC liquid and also carries mods and atomizers that might also be used for eliquid. Does the FDA's existing authority allow them to prevent those sales? If the answer is yes they

Is anyone using the Short Stop product? Might it be used to add protection to a mech squonker? The only squonk mod I have right now is several original Pico Squeeze (which is protected).

If I had kept smoking for the past 5 years it would have cost me about $16,000. I haven't added up the stash, a few thousand, may be.
I asked the same question about the shortstop on a squonk. I just don’t know. Remember that the shortstop works at no lower than a 1.5 ohm build if I’m not mistaken. I got a couple for the stash but they probably won’t work for me as I vape at much lower ohms. I might use them if I ever pull out a mech and build 1.5 or higher. The second version of shortstop did go a lot lower for subohm builds but I can’t find those at all and I spent a significant amount of time looking.

@Haktuspit - Why don't you just get a Pico 100W TC Mod Kit, with the Ello tank, for much less? Or do you just like the looks of the other one better, for the price difference? The 100W Pico in the kit takes a single 18650 or a 21700 battery. I picked up several of the kits over the weekend for less than $25/kit. But, they're sold out now at the place I got them.

Also, the shortstop takes up some room in every mod and you have to typically use shorter batteries.

    Totally shinyitis, I've always wanted one. I just got (6) Pico 75W mods for me and like 5 kits and 2 mods for Dad. Not really a need just a want, but they're still so expensive even with the discount @Koolkiz had.

    Well... My stocking expedition came to an abrupt stop when my wife completely lost it on me last night.... She has been home the past week when some stuff arrived and she has seen the stacks of boxes and padded envelopes piling up under my desk that I have not sorted and stored yet. The worst part is I still have 11 shipments coming in (2 today) and my wife is off from work for another week. She has not asked to see the credit card bill yet. I spent part of my morning going to my business po box to look for checks then off to the bank to deposit the checks and whatever cash I had on me and to transfer funds from one of my savings accounts... Then back home to pay as much as I could to get the balance down a bit. Hopefully she does not ask until after today's payments post.

    But I am done... which means I am probably going to miss out on all the clearance sales at the beginning of May. :( I will probably need to distance myself from this forum until after May 2020 as the deals are too good to resist.

    It was a good run while it lasted.

    I got in my husband’s truck one day and he turned beet red, grabbed all his padded envelopes off the passenger seat and chucked them in the back seat.

    We just exchanged one of those looks...

    Then I said “So, there’s this handbag I’ve had my eye on...”

    He used to buy me a lot of jewelry to appease me, too. :D

    @Haktuspit - The mod only for $34.99 (white or red only left):

    Eleaf iStick Pico S 100W Mod

    Well with the 10% off coupon they have that makes each mod $31.50 which is the best price I've ever seen them at. I don't know how you do it @JCinFLA but you rock!

    Grabbed a red one, a white one and then added a Wotofo Serpent Elevate in blue to get to free shipping. Blue was the only color I didn't have.

    Wasn't really planning on putting in an order today but I guess I wasn't planning on not putting one in either. :thumbs:

    I got them from there on sale for $26.24 during their Halloween 25% off sale. I grabbed 2 of the red because there was only red and the white left. And I got some wire and something else cheap to get up over the free shipping.

    EDIT: That sounded "braggy".

    I've never used it, but MVS states...



    So with that, and the price, I'm not going to bother with it as it appears to be a gamble as to whether it will work in the device you want it to work in.

    The list of devices that the shortstop will work in hasn't changed for years. Looking through the comments there were a lot of other mods mentioned that it worked in. They say it wouldn't work in a Provari. They can't be used in a regulated mods but I think the first Provaris were mechs, a long time ago. And they used button tops, the fuse wouldn't make contact because of the cutout for the button top.

    It's thin but it does take up space. If you have a mod with very tight lengthwise space for the battery you might have a problem. Should be fine in anything with a coil spring. It's the same diameter as an 18650. A tube mod holds it in position but a mod where it could move sideways would be a problem.

    @kross8 . . .

    You have gotten a lot of GREAT advice and suggestions about NYC already . . . So I am going to limit my suggestions to just a few other ideas . . .

    IMHO - As a Resident of NYC and frequent visitor before and after I lived there (1968 - 2016) . . .

    Depending on what Ya' really want to do and see . . . A day trip to any of the "outerboro's" - Brooklyn/Queens/Staten Island/Bronx would be interesting - I'm sure and will get Ya' a better feel of what NYC has to offer everyone, however I would strongly suggest getting a Professional & Reliable Guide to take you through them . . . Or plan well in advance where and how to get there before you go (Getting Around | The Official Guide to New York City) . . . Not Fun if Ya' get lost, which even some native New Yorker's can still do . . . . ;) :lol: :lol: :lol:

    BUT - To actually see NYC (aka Manhattan) on your own might be better, and although it might be a little confusing at times, it would be well worth it once you get use to or accustomed to the area around you . . . One of the most important thing to remember is Manhattan is approximately 13 miles long by 2 1/2 wide (so definitely walk-able) and 5th Avenue divide s Manhattan from East & West and 14th Street - North from South . . . And more importantly, most New Yorker's are not mean and/or nasty and will help Ya' out if you do get lost (just be sure to trust your gut with who you are asking- - safe person alert) . . . They are even the ones to turn to for suggestions about where to eat too (OH BOY - Are They. . . :facepalm: ) be it in the local neighborhood or somewhere special close by . . . All Ya' NEED to do is ask - They'll tell Ya' where to go . . . :lol: :lol: :lol:

    NOW - Transportation - While it might take longer to get from place to place a Bus is best (not a sight seeing bus - but a real bus) . . . "You" will see more places and "You" will get to meet the people of NYC in more ways then one . . . Subway's for those who are visiting NYC for the first time - I suggest only if NEEDED and not during rush hours - just make sure to keep your eyes open and be aware who is around you . . . Both the Bus & Subway are more affordable, unless you walk the streets . . . As for Taxi's - well first find out and/or know where you are going (the direct route) or get ready to pay more then Ya' really want to and without a doubt DO NOT take a cab during rush hour . . . Don't know about Uber/Lyft.

    However - If Ya' really want To SEE NYC - Bring a Great Pair of Walking Shoes - And Walk the Neighborhoods (List of Manhattan neighborhoods - Wikipedia) . . . Given this - while NYC is a blend of many different cultures and people - Each neighborhood is known for something special, especially when it comes to offering a "national" food . . . Oh YEA - Restaurants/Deli's/Coffee Shops/etc are Grade from A to D . . . AND - If you see a lot of people eating there, go on in - Ya' might be surprised . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

    Again - IMHO - Some of the places you might like to see, because of what they offer would be . . . The Villages - both East & West (aka Greenwich Village ) . . . Bleeker Street - NYU - Washington Square Park. . . Chelsea (west side of town 14-23 Street) . . . Murray Hill (east side of town 14 -23 Street) . . . on 14th Street the Union Square "Farmer's" Greenmarket . . . Little Italy into China Town (they are right next door to each other) . . . Houston Street/Canal Street (Shopping :thumb: ) . . . Mid-Town 34th - 42nd street, Macy's and including the NYC Public Library (especially the public park in the back - picnic :thumbs: even on the front steps with all the people having a lunch break - great people watching) . . . Central Park - Bryant Park . . . Upper East side (take the Tram over to Roosevelt Island only $4 Roundtrip - also Bloomingdale's can be Fun) . . . Harlem 125th Street & the Apollo Theater and Spanish Harlem . . . OH and don't forget - Tribecca, Wall Street, Freedom Tower/World Trade Center, South Street Sea Port, and a MUST - The Staten Island Ferry (especially once at night - absolutely beautiful "On A Clear Day" - just ask Barbara . . . ;) ) and The High Line (High Line - Wikipedia) .

    As for Hotel/Motel: New York City Hotels & Hotel Deals: The Definitive Guide (Maybe ? ? ? ) . . . Now - Depending on how long you plan to stay and if You can find one that is not too expensive might I suggest finding a Bed & Breakfast while you are there . . . Just A Thought . . . ;)

    EDIT: BTW - Ya' Might want to check out this website in more detail for a lot more information too:


    Hope this information is helpful . . . :D


    .
    Awesome information! - thank you

    Yes we plan to walk a lot,, I should be fine since I walk 3-9 miles a day now. Hubby has finally started walking,,, this is huge for him,, he now trots 2 miles a day! For 30 years it was good luck getting him to walk 2 blocks for exercise,, going somewhere- sure,, but just to walk--- hahaha dream on!
    We aren't much into shopping,, more like foodies,,,. But we aren't likely to eat our way through NYC-. Uh,, I hope not :) I just want to see as much as we can,,,. My brain has plenty of room for images :)

    Because of the strikesusa sale I had to pick up two lost vape drones. At 50 dollars each they were a steal and they pair well with the blotto
