That would all be great if i knew how to mix the flavor i liked. lol i would never order again and just make my own. lol If anyone knows how to make zombie killer from fuzion vapes hook me up with the receipt. lol


It shouldn't have any, unless someone is doing it very, very wrong.

All you need is propylene glycol and/or vegetable glycerin and water and flavorings.
These are all things you can buy without interruption.

So to to get ANY nicotine in those circumstances, it would take a purposeful adding of nicotine.
Or contaminated equipment.

I am right there with you. I have been in this industry so way too long now. The bad part really is our insurance for employees is not bad. lol cracks me up. I do medicare and even that is crazy. how the money is made and what they require of the members to have done each year and if we dont get the members to do them then the company looses money. it is crazy. it scares the crap out of me daily.


Lord help us all. :facepalm:
It is beginning to look like the insurance companies are ruling the world....at least our part of it.
I am just absolutely afraid for our future generations.

If these insurance companies are getting away with all this with their own employees.... They WILL try the same thing with companies that they offer insurance to.

I am so sad for our country :cry:

Well since on one knows how much or how little nicotine i vape at work i can always say it is zero. I am discreet about it and i do watch who is around and what not. If we have corp company i go to the restroom more. things of that nature. There are others here that vape as well and some that still smoke. One upside with this industry (or at least my group of people) they all know that vaping is way better than smoking. They have not once argued that. I have doctors and nurses in my office and not a one has ever said that is bad for you.


How is this going to Fit In with you Saying that you Don't Use a Tobacco Product?

Just a Side Note: I know one Employee was turned into their Boss's Boss by a Smoking Employee because the Smoker was Bent that She was being Charged Extra per Month. And the Vaper was Not.

Not saying this is Going to Happen to you. Just something to Consider if you Vape All Day at Work.

May God help this country out of the nightmare it has become! :mad:

It will only get worse. All for mONEy, mONEy for nONE!

For now my only solution is to not have health insurance! I'm 35 and I've never once needed it, only had coverage briefly in my early 20's until I got layed off from that job. I refuse to willingly sign up for Obama's bull....! Let the .......s fine me! :evil:

You might not need insurance at this exact moment- but what happens when you're in an accident or get sick? Are you going to set your own tibia? Remove your own kidney stone?

I have not taken the test yet. I have been doning good on zero for about 2 weeks now. Well, that was until yesterday. I stopped into a nice vape shop and did some taste testing. guess what? their testers are at 12 nic. ugh! i really hope this does not set me back. Next bad thing is we are going out to San Antonio tomorrow for vape blast and i am sure we are going to want to try some things out and it will be our luck everything will have nic in it and we wont be able to try anything. Blah. This test thing is messing up my entire vape life here. Ok well not the entire life, but the taste testing life has gone to crap!! one more week to go and the test will be done and i wont care if i sample nic. Come on next week!!!

OP, I am horrified by the stance your company has taken. As others have said, I too find this attitude as an unacceptable encroachment on the rights to freedom and privacy that all humans have. I do realize that finding a new job in this economy may be difficult, but, if I were in your place, I'd start looking.

Re: smoking tests - the only valid test for smoking is carbon monoxide (CO) in exhaled air. A blood/urine test for cotinine should not be acceptable because of all the other possible sources of nicotine, including 2-nd hand smoke, food, dietary supplements, and NRT.

I stopped smoking for 4 days to pass a test, flying colors

I have seen that, but i also saw it could take a month depending on how long you smoked for and what test they are doing. Well i smoked for 32 years and they are doing a blood draw so i am trying my hardest to pass. Really i think i am doing good with no nic. I mean people around me are still alive and all so......lol I really think this is more a hand to mouth thing.

I agree, but it seems more and more places in my city are doing that. especially if you are in healthcare. Thus i am stuck. I have been in healthcare longer than i care to admit.

If you guys think this is bad, a large hospital here recently enacted a policy that states you will be fired for being a smoker or testing positive for nicotine in your system. Luckily I don't work in health care so my company hasn't tried anything like that. I'm pretty sure the way some of the people I work with drive in and out of the parking lot here is a bigger hazard than smoking 2 packs a day.

There is a hospital here that they will test you before you are hired and if you are positive you do not get the job. As for their current employees they were nice enough to at least grandfather them in. Of course there is no smoking around the hospital and all that crap.

That vape shop must be insane. Who puts nic in their tester units? Do they want people getting sick after trying their flavors? Hope they have buckets nearby! They should all be zero nic.

And I wish you could name the company that's getting all Gestapo on you. They should be named and shamed.

I would love to, but i need my job. lol Upside we are not in WA. So you are safe. lol
