Please don't blame me for your bad behavior Beth, no one is responsible for that except you.
The only reason you come over here is to try and start some drama which is evident by what you said and today we won't be falling for it. :D
It is not a good idea to give out free ecigs by mail or any means because they may be inadvertently sent to a minor.
I'm sorry to see that they still are giving you a hard you over at that other place.
Good luck in solving your issues.
C.B.

What I wonder is this-IF I would of had a younger heart dr. & if instead of being told quit or die if after almost 3 yrs if I'd be vaping & happy or vaping nic free or for real still quit but under better terms. I think about this alot & wonder.

Instead of making nasty posts here why don't you just resolve the issue once and for all instead of driving yourself crazy by continually repeating that same statement over and over and taking out your hostility on everyone around you. Just buy one try it and then you won't have to wonder any more.
Using a pv is not the same as smoking {as you like to say at the other place} and it will not cause you to start smoking unless that is what you wish to do and I don't think you want to smoke.
I certainly wouldn't like to see you pick up that habit again.
If you really need to know this is the best way to not smoke! :p
I advise you to use a nicotine free cartridge.
Let us know how you make out.
Best wishes on resolving this issue!
C.B.

I had two and a half drinks last night and wandered back to the hotel after I started getting really goofy. My two buddies creeped in about 2 hours later.

We were at a private party on the second floor of a bar, they had men gyrating up on the bar. They actually were showing their parts. o0 Never happen in my home state. One drunkie yutz licked a dancer's leg. Middle aged women and booze in New Orleans
in convention mode are not always a good thing.

We are in the French Quarter, so it is happening. The pigeons are bolder than hell walking up and done the dtreets with you.

The big morning thing is coffee and some french bisquit in power sugar. It's fry bread in Arizona speak.

Rode a mule pulled carriage around the quarter, roamed Jackson square- today I am heading to the cemetary.

I went lazy, I got me a digital SLR and a memory card. I am snapping away.

Sees you later.

Beth, free e-cigs are a bad idea. There are already too many companies offering "free trials", and they are ripoffs; inferior, overpriced products and the terms lock you into a subscription that is often difficult to cancel.

Even if legit, with no strings, it would still be a bad idea. The anti-smoking/tobacco establishment would latch onto it as a ploy to get people hooked.

There many options for someone who wants to try e-cigs without a big investment.

Interesting thing happened and wanted to get some input. This isn't e-cig related in any way and is completely off topic (if there is such a thing in this thread).

I have a Sony 60" Bravia LCoS RPTV and for the last couple of years it has been intermittently "flickering". There's no rhyme or reason to it. It will happen if the TV has been on for 15 seconds or 3 hours. Sometimes it will last only only for a few seconds, others for minutes at a time. Finally I decided that "enough was enough" and since the TV is still under warranty I made a claim.

The repair guys were professional; They arrived at the agreed upon time. They sat down and watched the TV with me for about 30 minutes and, of course, the TV did not "flicker" during that time (Damn you "Technician's Syndrome!"). Not surprisingly, they said the TV would need to be taken to the shop so the problem could be diagnosed. Off to the repair shop the TV goes... There was much crying and sadness.

Fast forward 8 days...

I get a call from my wife that the repair shop wants to return the repaired TV. Wanting to make sure the TV was actually repaired and the problem not made worse, I left work early to welcome the TV with open arms and rejoice at its return.

The repair guy hooked the TV back up (correctly too) and I turn the TV on and it looks good. We chatted a while about what was repaired and after about 15 minutes of trouble-free television viewing bliss, he left.

The second his van's tires left my driveway the TV started to "flicker." Again, there was much crying and sadness.

While the set was at the shop, I spent quite a bit of time browsing AVSForum's thread on my particular TV. Apparently the flickering isn't all that uncommon and the fix is simple... Don't use "Power Save" mode. Remember this, I turned it off and the flicker immediately disappeared. Turned it back on and after a few minutes the flickering was back.

According to the technician they replaced one of the boards in the TV. The invoice lists a part number and its description is "FRC BC2 BOARD". I looked up the part number and sure enough, it's a Sony part number, it's not a board. It's a mount.

This didn't cost me any money out-of-pocket, but I'm a bit peeved that the problem wasn't fixed and I don't feel they were completely honest. I've only had the TV back since yesterday afternoon, but after implementing the fix I found online, the TV hasn't flickered once.

So... The question is, what do you think I should do?

- Leave well enough alone?
- Call the repair place again and tell them problem isn't fixed?
- Call the warranty place and tell them the repair company ripped them off?
- Leave a nasty review of said repair company online?
- Something else?

Yes, Madman, I know you would have dismantled and repaired the TV using nothing but a toothpicks and dental floss in less than 30 seconds...
