I recently switched from independent to republican to vote in the primaries

Here we don't have to register with a party. We just ask for the ballot we want when we get to the polling place. That's independent.

Right now 1L of 100mg is $40. So 2x is $80 with free shipping. E-liq is about the same (maybe $3 cheaper?) they also have the undiluted stuff which would be great for storage. Just not sure I want to mess with mixing it. And in the end, I'm not sure the price is any different.

My goal is to get a small frig with a freezer for the garage, just for Nic & flavors (mixing supplies) because I have grandchildren in the house.

I've never been a good mixer of juice BUT I can follow directions with the best of them. ;)

MFS is the only Nic I've ever used, I had a small sample of vapertek (?) from bull city, didn't taste any difference between the two. But the VT was a small sample.

Reading about Nic is subjective. Reminds me of "boil your cotton before using it". So many opinions, that's why I asked in here, this group is trusted, at least to me. (I mean that in a positive way not a condescending way towards others)
So I ordered a couple more liters of 100 mg vg from MFS.
Had a bit of time with figuring out the $40 price but got it with coupon code "20DIYNOW" which was suppose to be good till 6 -14 but it worked....$80 for 2 liter shipped.

So those who got the Hotcig, what ya think if them? I really like mine, I think they did a nice job on these mods. I will be upgrading the 510 spring, insulator and center pin with parts from a VT V1 510 (also the output wire). I'll get some pics showing the parts and the mod torn down far enough for the repairs.

I love my Hotcig DX200 and I could just kick myself for not getting at least two. Although Erik (ecig) said they believe more are coming in. So easy to swap packs, charge externally, even to connect a power supply while at the desk. These things you can do virtually anything with.

I don't know, your still sucking on a cancer stick. What are you inhaling? It can't be vapor, it may not be "smoke", at min it has to be heated air, heated tobacco. It may be safer then a lit cig, but you still sucking on tobacco that contains all the nasty chemicals. I can't see how it can be as safe as or safer then vaping. Look's to me a way to keep their cig sales up.

Those two separate oncologists who told me it was all the years of smoking that caused my cancer, vaping didn't and that I could keep on vaping even during my treatments, I wonder what their reaction to this device would be.

So they can do this but the Vaping Industry cannot say that Vaping is safer than cigarette smoking?

All Youtube vaping reviews are likely to disappear August 8th because they are deemed advertising and Phillip Morris can make statements like this? Something about this is so wrong.

not here they can't - yet ;)

''Philip Morris says it will sell iQOS in about 20 countries this year, and it plans to submit an application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to call the device a modified-risk tobacco product, though the FDA hasn’t yet given the go-ahead to similar requests.''

You would think Philip Morris would have a little more sense then to promote these this soon, I mean the vaping regs haven't even gone into effect yet. You can clearly see they are hoping the regs will make it harder and keep people from vaping, those who want to quit smoking. And yet here they come with a solution and cash in, use our "safer" tobacco products. It's all about big tobacco making money, money, money, who cares how many die. SOB, their arrogance makes me so damn mad! :mad:

they are not promoting here - they were released in a few, small european test markets so far and a national, i believe, roll-out in japan this year ;)
They've been available here in Italy for many months now, sold at tobacconists side to normal cigarettes, and I know a few people actually using them.
Those devices seem to heat some sort of "tobacco puree" (whatever that may be), in the form of a filter-like cartridge, and emit a modest amount of smoke - for want of a better word.
People I know using them reported moderate satisfaction from product use (meh), they often alternate its use with regular cigs, and the cost - for this market at least - seems to have been tuned for you to spend just as much as with cigarettes. Or so I'm told, at least.
