Actually, Santa Claus is an historical figure. Saint Nicholas of Greece is the patron saint of children. His feast day is December 6th. He was know for secret gift-giving. The modern "Santa Claus" comes from the Dutch name for St. Nick - Sinterklass. The tradition of Santa Claus bringing gifts to children on the eve of the birth of the Christ child evolved from these facts.

Yes but St. Nick didn't live at the north pole nor ride a flying sleigh of reindeer. St. Nick is St. Nick and Santa Claus is Santa Claus, besides, back then Greece used to be Turkey so St. Nick's skin was either brown or black, not white.

The modern Santa Claus is based more on the Dutch Sinterklaas - Sinterklaas - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is also very easy to make tinctures with PG and fill up a carto or clearo with it. It does not have be a modified ecig for use of illegal substances. Our regular equipment can be used just the same.

Is that practice rampant? Or are most folks opting for the equipment designed for that purpose?

I should know better than to ever look at anything Fox "News" has to say about vaping, but I feel I should know what lies the gullible are being fed by the media. Their latest attempt to vilify vaping has me feeling aghast.

Secret uses for electronic cigarettes concerns officers - FOX23 News

Fox news equals big business equals big tobacco.

Making "blanket" statements like this is inaccurate and can prove to be ignorant. Fox News was the first major news organization to generate a positive report on vaping back in 2011. John Stossel of Fox News has had several very supportive segments on vaping. Laura Ingraham of Fox News and Ann Coulter are both supportive of vaping. None of the other major news outlets have provided even one positive segment on vaping that I am aware of but have provided a number of negative ones.

Being true to their moniker, they do present both sides of the issue and this latest one is unfortunate.

If it's possible, people will make it work. Yes, making tinctures is gaining in poularity for use with traditional ecig equipment.

Heck, people use modified soda cans and apples, so vaporizers are not a far stretch at all.

The other day somebody from Fox News declared that Santa Claus is a "historical figure" and that he's definitely "white like Jesus". I'm not making this up. You can't even make up some of the rubbish Fox News reports.
Saint Nicholas (15 March 270 – 6 December 343) was indeed a vary real 4th century person and he was in fact white. So who`s spreading rubbish?

Considering that St. Nicholas was born in what is now modern day Turkey, I highly doubt that he was caucasian.

More importantly, what difference does it make what color skin he had?
