...?

I think he's OK; if there was a problem with selling nicotine they would have just closed everyone down (it is, or it isn't, OK). The threats are more than likely just to rattle him.

I'm not big on conspiracies, but this smells like someone(s) trying to stir up trouble where there isn't any.

Which way do you mean that? RTS making a stink of nothing, or DHS making a stink of nothing? Or both?

Oh, I meant someone trying to stir up trouble for RTS and other suppliers, and the vaping community in general... Players who have a lot to lose if people quit smoking in droves.

Sorry, didn't realise it could be read two ways. :-O

Doesn't our government have something more important to do than to harass people who are selling a legal product?

No wonder so many people are distrustful of government, they have been awful busy spying on us, and harassing people who don't subscribe to the political view points of those in charge.

Good morning:)! Special Friday Caterpillar pancakes?

I LOVE your mock-up balloon Gala Day tank, toker. And I had hit up Wikipedia about it a while back. You really need to share some more details about tomorrow's festivities!!

Fab, I'm so sorry to hear about Hamish; what a cute little mug on that guy. Not to push you before you're ready, but just maybe a new furry pal to warm your new digs?

Yeesh. I've been fasting for an early GI test...what possessed me to post pancakes this morning:facepalm:?

Fantastic Friday vapes to all :vapor:!

You can find a lot more information by going to these links attypops. These'll give you a better idea what the gala day is all about:
Loanhead Gala Day - Midlothian's oldest and largest local festival
This site gives the best reflections of decorated houses
Lanark Lanimers
This is arguably the biggest and best gala day. It even has it's own name "lanimers"(nobody knows where this name comes from)
and finally our gala day. Carstairs is a small village about 3 miles from Lanark but has it's own smaller celebrations. It doesn't have it's own website but you can see some of the photo's from previous galas on here.
Carstairs

Good luck Becks with you GI tests (whatever they are?*wincing at the thought*) I'll assume they are medical tests as you feel the need to fast. Hopefully you'll score top marks, (or low marks if the test dictates that high marks are a fail)
Good luck from me anyhow.

It looks very people-oriented and fun. Reminds me of the town parades and such we still have in the USA (but you don't see much about if you're overseas) maybe with more tradition in your case. I like the decorated houses too! Good luck with the "aquarium" decoration! :) It's cool. And who doesn't like the horses and shows and dancers and awards. Golf too? Guess I shouldn't be surprised. lol.

Thanks, guys! It's actually two big fancy breath tests...nothing to them, no pain, the only discomfort's an (puny) 18-hour fast (would've been nothing if I'd slept through any part of it). Too sleepy/hungry to elaborate, Also, I'm gonna wait 'til I've eaten to read up on those Gala links/ check out the pictures because I find that my jealously for the fun, history, humor, and community of all of it is heightened by the hunger. Soon as I get back, I'll just have a load of fun reading all about it, and the green-eyed monster won't get in the way.

Before the thread was deleted I posted a link of his $55 generic ego kit and a link of the FT $20 kit and told him why FT was popular.
The GALL of some people. There is a poster who is trolling for information re: Fast Tech in the General section; if you click on his link, he is RE-SELLING the SAME EXACT STUFF on his website at a HUGE PROFIT. And people are giving him links to the products he wants!
8-o:facepalm:

Do try notching the top cap if you get in a bind - it usually works on top coil devices and you can *just* get the top cap out of the stardusts if you have a slim set of pointy tweazers.
stardusts is another name for top coil ce4's right?
I love the Protank just the way it is, however the first thing that many do when they want to tighten the draw up is put evod heads in it instead of the Protank ones. If it's still too airy, you can try plugging one or two of the three air holes just above the 510 threading. The best thing to plug it with would be wax. Bees wax melts at too low a temperature, but candle wax should work. It's non toxic. I attribute my first significant reduction in vaping frequency to the Protank. I feels like I'm vaping as much as I want to but my consumption has dropped to 3 ml of 12 mg/ml per day, down from nearly three times that much of 18 mg/ml and higher. It's not all the Protank of course but a satisfying vape goes a long way.

ETA:
With bottom coil devices you don't won't to make the draw too tight. If you have to suck really hard, and if there's air space in the tank (which there always is) the air expands and allows liquid to flood into the head. Typically, if this happens worse the more air in the tank (less liquid) then the problem is the draw being too tight. I believe this is one of the problems with the Vapeonly devices and making the draw on the them lighter seems to solve flooding problems. IMHO of course.
so far i am liking the Protank....i think i needed the head to break in or i got used to it? LOL I am for sure going to get a puritank when it is back in stock.
I have two different cartomizer tanks that go bonkers...mostly flooding and i can't figure out if the tank seals are too tight or there is an air leak somewhere...so i quit fiddling with them and put them in my "can this be salvaged" bin :)
Hamish used to steal all the toys with squeaks in them and obsess over them until he ripped the squeaker right out. Here he is at the park:
View attachment 225520

Sadly, we lost Hamish last year, well before his time.
so sorry for your loss :(
frolick and rip squeaks until we see you again sweet boy :)

Try this one chelle.Its not a ball but it's the only thing kenny didn't kill within 2 minutes of hearing it's squeak.
Kong Wubba Tugga on eBay!
ooh i haven't seen that one anywhere...i am a little leary of the wubba's tho...i got daisy the "ocotpus" kong wubba and she beheaded it in the first 5 minutes (ripped the seam and pulled the ball head out LOL)
I signed daisy up to be a toy tester for the company that makes the egg babies toys....we'll see if her number is drawn. between the ripping of squeakers, shoving the ball under the loveseat, and also being treat driven i think she would love this one

I just caught up on that thread...says RTS declined a BT buyout recently.....hmmmmm

too bad "the majority" hasn't and didn't heed the warning signs....

Interesting. I wonder how they could verify Fed IDs. I wonder how we could verify what RTS says (although I have no reason to doubt them).

You're very honest! I like that. However, as a member of the majority...I guess I was offended also and first. We're even. Although I offended 1 person and you offended the largest portion of the population....

For the record, "the majority" does not condone harassing e-juice vendors. So...Pleeeese give me a break from the extremist "it's the majority's fault" stuff, huh? Most conservatives and liberals don't buy into that. That's an extremist philosophy. I'll defend to the hilt your right to have it. But I wouldn't expect it to go unchallenged if I were you.

And your comment was provoked by this kind of stuff:
Doesn't our government have something more important to do than to harass people who are selling a legal product?

No wonder so many people are distrustful of government, they have been awful busy spying on us, and harassing people who don't subscribe to the political view points of those in charge.

Who knows? 1st off....this is all unconfirmed from several angles. 2nd....we don't have the info because the cops (if they were real cops) don't give it to you. 3rd, since they don't give the info out we're only hearing one side of the story.

As to the 2nd paragraph, that's just a generalization that has no specifics so it's hard to comment. However, if we take the recent IRS stuff for example, the investigation wasn't "harassment" it was investigation. That's their job. And it was for both conservative and liberal groups. Those filing for "tax exempt" status. Because there seems to be a lot of them lately...and many are not legit. Note that it has little to nothing to do with party lines. So the "paint the current administration as a bad-guy" strategy doesn't hold up to close examination. It's grand standing for the cameras.

So, like most of America, I can recognize grand-standing by politicians when I see it. I don't mind that the IRS takes a good look at tax-exempt groups. They should. Particularly when some members of those groups ARE radical extremists and fly airplanes into government offices, for example, just because they hate taxes.

i quoted "the majority" purposefully as that is how our government system supposedly works and who/what put our current government/laws/powers in place...ya know that whole "most votes for yay versus nay" business.....regardless of how they choose to label themselves...or what philosophy they embrace.
you are the one that took it to a nasty place.
i am not an extremist or a conspiracy theorist and do not appreciate being judged or labeled as such...especially since you know nothing about me/my beliefs and made that call off of one statement that you misunderstood.

i do not label myself as having a belief system other than my OWN.
you are the one that saw a challenge or something that needed challenging where there was none.

kindly back up off of me NOW. seriously.

Atty, you know I like you but your defense is weak my friend ... talk about your over generalizations!!! Really, that was the motivation behind those actions, just because they hate taxes?? Please!

Government is also supposed to protect the minority point of view. Our founding "fathers" thought that was extremely important, and so do I. Because NO ONE in this thread really "knows" each other, can we PLEASE REFRAIN from politics and calling each other's ideas "BS?" There are a LOT of other threads in which to do that in. I prefer that we all play nicely in this one.

TYIA.
