Yeah. If you break open the brick, there's a bunch of no-name 18650s in series together.

@cave123....a few have mentioned sending flowers to the families of the dual users that the op started this thread about.

Oh, didn't see em. Still don't get why they would send flowers though? Foreshadowing whats to come if they continue smoking? Don't know...have to find comments I guess.

I'm aware of what it meant. Its just a bit over dramatic, isn't it? Smokers don't want to be brow beaten into quitting....if anything, the judgement passed by these newly reformed smokers will not help. Someone made a comparison to sobriety. Sponsoring new comers is about staying sober and helping others . Its not about getting people sober. We don't have that kind of power. Its about having something they want ...usually, thats happiness and freedom. So, if we quit smoking and turn into a complete d-bag, judging those who aren't quite ready to quit and saying we'll send flowers when you die.....why the hell would anyone respond to that? Its attraction not promotion.

This. No amount of nagging, belittling pleading or just general harassing me was going to make me quit. And this was from people I love and cared for that were doing it because they were worried about me. A casual acquaintance was going to get an earful if they started in on me. Trust me, I was locked and loaded. Treating someone like crap to make yourself feel superior is a total d-bag move.....

I was a dual user myself, for about 3-4 wks. I just couldn't find any reason to KEEP smoking, when I had something that tasted so much better, and was so much less harmful. But it's true that pressuring me would most likely have been extremely counter-productive. I think I was so successful BECAUSE my husband gave me zero pressure; he was pleased that my consumption had gone down, and KEPT going down... till it was finally zero.

You really do have to really want it. The egos and the kanger tanks, they're ok, if you started with cigalikes, which I did. But you don't really get into GREAT vaping until you've learned enough about this to get a rebuildable, and if they're just "chipping," they might not ever get to that point, but just eventually find the egos and kanger tanks rather inadequate, and just stop, thinking that all vaping is "just not good enough."

Ok so at work there is only 2 of us who vape instead of smoke there is about 10 people who vape just to "smoke" inside but outside of work hours they smoke cigs like freight trains.

I look at the positive side of this equation. I have someone at home trying their best to quit, but still smokes 5-10 cigarettes per day.

If someone spends 8-12 hours of their day not smoking - I consider that commendable. Almost all of us are ex-smokers and some (me) worse than others (2+ packs/day) before quitting.

Wow this thread has gone crazy
To clarify only a little
I don't go brow beating or ribbing on people for dual using in public.
I also figured it was clear I was talking about those people I work with. Not everybody I could be wrong as I haven't reread it since I wrote it.
And I haven't read every post.
Anywhos let's carry on

"No, I actually agree with you; they're already having a field day with this "dual user" thing, and the actual dual users are likely to screw it all up for all of us. They really need to ____ or get off the pot. Fish or cut bait. SMOKE OR VAPE... but these idiots doing both, they really are going to screw the whole thing up for everybody."

I didn't read any further. I had to comment right away. I am insulted. Look at my Join Date. Look at my Posts number. And yes, I am a dual user. So now I am an idiot? I don't belong on ECF anymore? ECF is now only for the pure, cleansed, reformed, puritan vapers? The ECF-member now is terrified by the idea that somewhere, someone is actually enjoying themselves with something else than an ecig?

I'm outta here.

    You obviously don't understand the Deeming Regulations or the Economic Impact Analysis issued by the FDA. There are many examples in history where people significantly underestimated the power of a government to act irrationally. You popping off on an internet forum with no basis for your belief, leaves me significantly underwhelmed.

    You're right, I am uninformed. Sorry I rattled your cage.

    At least someone here understands them.

    How long do you think it will take before eliquid is banned?

    The FDA Regulations and Impact Analysis are a response due to the pressure put upon them by zealot politicians. They have sat on their hands for too long and now have to make up some sort of comeback to act like they're truly doing something about it.

    After the extension for comments takes place, the lawsuits that will have to be decided, the deadline for enactment will be when? Has the FDA ever had to back down from ecig regulaltion in the past? How long ago was that?

    Has this Thread started to become "whining, in fighting and acting so effing Holier than Thou"?

    Just on the Other side of the Original Opinion.
    If you read the opening post, you'll see that that's what it was to begin with...so, no, it didn't become anything. It started that way right out of the box.

    Zoid, you know what I'm talking about. Why is NJoy possibly coming out with other flavors and and an open containment system?

    No... I'm not Really Sure if some of your Posts are Being Sarcastic? Or if is what you Think?

    And I'm going to have to Look Up what a "open containment system" is and how it relates to NJoy.

    Never. But 99.99% of e-liquid suppliers won't be able to afford the FDA's costly approval process so in essence, they'll be out of business.

    Why is NJoy possibly coming out with other flavors and and an open containment system?
    Because they (and Big Tobacco) have deep enough pockets to withstand the FDA approval process. Especially when they know they'll be the only suppliers left.
