Agreed, and waiting for the list to re-open so I can add myself.



I believe the LBC list is currently closed, but will re-open once Tom has built and shipped the first 20 LBC's and we can add ourselves.



I buy all my Cigars & Pipe tobacco's on-line, guess they have a Big Brother/ FED GOV exception... this comprises ~80-85% of my juices, Coffee and some Vanilla, DIYed, are 10-15% and the rest is just PG/VG/NIC with some Peppermint or Wintergreen, guess I'll experiment with Spearmint leaves, shouldn't be too different from tobacco.

I'd think the meet & greets would be a minimum of 10-15 at a time, I'm sure the Facebook crowd may trickle by as well.

I can send you plenty of fresh peppermint leaves. I use them myself, no pesticides, non-GMO.

In regards to all of your insurances (health, life, other) with a stroke of a pen you are ALL smokers again

Not me, I check that non smoker box because they ask if I smoke. Since the FDA has approved NRT's for longterm use I chew nic gum all the time so of course I have nicotine in my system. Wink wink nudge nudge.

While I don't chew gum, they can't disprove the assertion.
It tastes nasty. I quit all gum way back when my teeth got sensitive to sweets (and cold).

Even then, the questions are normally cigarette specific.
They ask about packs. I gave equivalents for RYO.

But how many cigars make a pack?
How many packs is three bowls in a pipe?

That exception ends 90 days after May 10th. The cigar officianados got hosed just like we did today, hooka puffers did as well. The future isn't what it used to be.

But they now will have the option to ask: "are you a tobacco product user? Due to today's fiasco responding with a "No" is a fraudulent answer.

When you ship attys do you send a tracking number or anything? Or is it a surprise?
It's a surprise. Lol. The Drifters are finished and will be on the way to Chad in the morning. Chad will be shipping to you as soon as he receives them, at that point you will receive tracking info from Chad.

This is kind of related to these regulations. I went to get some life ins the other day & they ask all these questions pertaining to smoking, tobacco, nicotine gum. But nothing about ecigs or vaping. So I answered no. Next you have to get a physical. Of course mine came back w/ high nic levels. I told the guy I vaped & had quite smoking 5 years ago. Long story short. Their company groups together everybody w/ nicotine tobacco doesn't matter. So I am in the same category as someone who smokes. The result is your premium is sky high. Unbelievable!!! Anyway I am looking into other options. One is try not to vape for a week or so so I can pass the test. Or I have found a company that groups us with people who dip or use pipes, ecigs & the rates are much lower than the first one I got. Still ridiculous because all those products say "may cause cancer" & still more expensive than normal rates. Anyway enough about that. Back to regular programming.

That is because the test for nicotine metabolites is dirt cheap compared to the co input / output test to determine if you are a smoker or not. Least that's what my cousin whom is in insurance told me.

Ah, but it's only seems ridiculous because you must have forgotten for a moment that the insurance companies' objective is not to protect you or anything silly like that - their goal is to take as much money from you as they possibly can. And their hope is to keep as much of it as legally allowed - or even more if they think they'll get away with it.
People forget that...

(Nationwide is NOT on your side. lol)

So what does that mean for you and the LBC? Way I read it is if it's already being sold before the end of the 90 days then you'd be able to sell them for 2 years?? Correct?

Hate to derail but after buying the 15ml sample from nude nicotine to try I think DIY is something I could really get into and since I'm already placing an order and I'm always hearing you guys talk about their flavorings I thought I might as well pick some up with my order. So what are some must haves? I can't do pineapple, menthol, or koolada but pretty much anything else I'm okay with. I love tobaccos, desserts, pastries, creams, custards, and fruits as long as the fruits aren't just fruits. Fruit and any combo of the above is fine though.

I shopped and found new life insurance a couple of years ago. I went with Prudential as they consider vaping, along with occasional cigar smoking, to be lower risk. I didn't get the "best" tier pricing but what I'm paying is significantly lower than smokers rates.

Yeah at the end of the day they seem to be the best bet.

I'm thinking about getting a snapdragon in a trade. Any thoughts? Besides its tall.

My Thoughts:
Pros-
Beautiful
Machined well
Great flavor atty

Cons-
Wide open still 10% tighter draw than the Narda; maybe a pro to you, not to me however.
Stilted posts; requires long wicks
No Z coil option
Single coil option still allows air across both sides
Loose 510 requires the positive pin to be slightly modified to get a stable enough connection for,temp control.

Personally I use the stumpy and the Narda as my benchmarks for flavor, flow, and General squonking use and based on that I find the Snappy to,be a fail. Both work better as bottom feeders.
