Happy to live in a country where I can vape any time at any place and where cops are educated

Need help from former MFS (MyFreedomSmokes) customers
Has any found a supplier or company that has tobacco e-juice like or very similar to MFS Turbosmog, Tall Paul, or Red Luck?

I would say that is about the dumbest thing you can do.
then surrender my Pvs' to them . my country is a joke... its illegal here, we cant even have a gum here. Wat do u think? LoL
no gum? how do you blow bubbles and and what comes inside of your blowpop suckers? do they like, remove the gum at customs? 
Rofl, land of the free. The more someone tells you that you are free, the further you are are from freedom.
I think the only way you can truely live free is live life like Tom Hanks in Cast Away. Where the only responsibility you have is to eat, sleep, and take care of your volleyball.

I'm guessing he lives in Singapore - importing and selling chewing gum is illegal there. It can only be sold for medicinal purposes and only then by a dentist or a pharmacist. They take your name when they sell you the gum.
Don't sweat it. I'm pretty sure there's not some guy who looks like me running around terrorizing hotel staff. I just apparently have a face/carriage that causes security and cops to hate me on sight. I once was moments from coming to blows with a campus cop when I was in college. After the situation was cleared up, his excuse for bothering me in the first place was, "Must've been the way you were drinking your Coke..."
I vape all the time. Even at work (I'm a firefighter-paramedic, and deal with police officers daily). I have a UltraMax and the only comments I get besides the obligatory "what is that?" is "nice hookah!" Most of them are friends of mine, and are really just glad I quit smoking analogs.
That being said, I was driving the other day, and the guy in the car next to me was vaping some big tube mod, and I'll admit it does look suspicious if you don't know what it is. Since I knew what it was, I vaped on mine, and waved.

The only time I had a problem was one time when I was in my university's library (UC San Diego) vaping clouds and clouds while I was studying. Apparently some people thought it was actually smoke and called the security rentacop on me. He came and was like "you cant smoke in here obviously, what the hell are you doing?" I tell him what it is and that it's only water vapor, similar to a fog machine and he just said "well it's still smoke" and told me to cut it out and left. That ...... me off since he didnt even let me tell him what it was, but I stopped anyways. I still vape in the library and get tons of crazy looks all the time. I dont care though, unless it's disturbing someone, which they should gather the balls to go tell me instead of squealing on me to the security. The people at m school are a bunch of antisocial nerds so nobody really says anything. Just the strange looks haha
I think that right there is your main problem. We don't want to shove vaping in people's faces and tell them to .... if they don't like it. This is not going to help our cause. If you must vape in places you've already been asked not to, don't continue pouring out vapor like a steam engine, try stealth vaping. Otherwise you have no right to complain about people not listening to you when you don't listen to them.
I'd suggest, since the security goon has already told you to quit, that you go to the librarian, explain what it is, and ask for permission.
You've already been told to stop, and if you just continue, I don't see a good ending.
But if you explain it to the librarian, you might be able to get permission. It might not work - and if you can't get permission, I'd just not vape in the library. But you might be able to convince the librarian to say it's OK. And if you do, then you can pretty much quit worrying about the security guard. He shows up saying "I told you no smoking", and you can tell him "First, I'm not smoking, and second, that librarian right over there has told me that it's OK."
But having been told to stop, if you just take a "screw you I'll do what I want" attitude, it won't help. That sort of thing will lead to official no vaping rules.

No.
Police are human beings like anyone else. They have good days and bad days. They sometimes are highly trained pros with great people skills, and they are sometimes green rookies who simply make errors.
One thing that is pretty universal about cops in the USA in my experience. They are trained to maintain control, and some are better and more tactful at it than others. Back talk them, or come across as defiant of their authority, and you are 'probably' asking for trouble. Tact is a two way streak. The cops don't make the rules...they simply try to enforce them...and that's a job few people really want.
I personally have had officers request that I not vape in some places. I simply thanked him for doing his job and put the PV away. It's an argument I can't win with the cop on the street. That cop has more important things to do with his time than argue with me. I can however put a drop of e-liquid in my soda pop, vape somewhere else, and educate or petition the policy makers on my own time as a CIVIL human being.
