When they were good!
OP, I agree with you on a lot of the topics that you touched on. I also come from an electrical background, so some of the same things really grind my gears too. However, it sounds like you know a lot more about electronics than vaping. I haven't read the thread so I am sure most things have already been discussed.
WOW!! I just got my best laugh of the night!! Thank YouI just tried my new ACME sub-ohm waffle iron... I have to go clean batter off the ceiling now...and the walls...and my face.
