And when the venue eventually gets around to banning cig-a-likes, then who are you going to be mad at?
Will it still be the cloud chasers fault?

No. Because if they ever go that far they will ban analogs too. In which case the jack-booted tobacco fascists will have won the war. And where was the first shot fired in that war? From the barrel of some pimply-faced 200 watt braying #$%^-stick who has no consideration for anyone else.

You mad tho at the cloud chasers but where's your anger towards the manufacturers that make the devices that makes said cloud possible?

Seems to me it was the vapers themselves that came up with the monster clouds. Mechs had been around since the first mod and as RBA's became more prevalent, vapers started experimenting with wire techniques, wire types and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower and lower ohms. Along the way experimenters started direct inhaling, which among other things created more volume.

If I wanted to direct anger at a manufacturer it would be the liquid manufacturers that are putting colorful porn on the bottles as a gimmick and purposely taunting regulators with corny childish names and labels.

I personally don't like hookah dens or ever frequented cigar bars, so I don't care for vape meets or even visiting B&M's these days. It is pretty obvious to me that huge clouds of any nature have been offensive or worrisome to enough that rule makers are easily encouraged to limit their use.

plenty of "tootle puffers" have no consideration for others as well....why don't you lay the blame where it belongs....inconsiderate people, and leave vaping styles out of it?

Not going to beat a dead horse here brother. I vented my frustration over having my vape banned from a venue I enjoy. It was in fact styles that led to it having called the promoter to vent on them too. So I'm gonna leave it at that. If people want to go around again, I will break out a bat and turn that dead horse into ground round without hesitation. Rather just not though as it won't get my Radius back into the concert at this point.

Ok, for those who complained or worried about why their Radius was still charging after 6-8 hours, I just ran a little test to see what was happening, and I can confirm...the mod doesn't take that long to charge, and the light goes out as normal, but if left plugged in (i.e. overnight while you sleep), after a couple of hours the light comes back on....starts trickle charging again. So when you wake up to find it is "still charging", for all intents and purposes the mod is fully charged, and just going through one of the cycles of trickle charging to "top off"

Exactly.

"Giant blow holes & cloud chasing tools." :facepalm:
No matter how many different names you call cloud chasers, it doesn't change the fact we all have a different style of vaping.

You mad tho at the cloud chasers but where's your anger towards the manufacturers that make the devices that makes said cloud possible?
I liken it to the people who put the window-shattering stereos in their cars, then drive through residential neighborhoods at 3am with the windows down and the volume up. It's not Pioneer's fault these people have no sense of courtesy or common decency, nor is it Vapor Shark's. There is an appropriate time and place for everything. We as vapers are supposed to be grownups. Some of us need to start acting like it.

Yep, exactly. I have pointed this out on multiple occasions.

Provape followed up brilliantly - replacement Radius (Stealth) arrived today, along with my new Radius (SS on black), new Kabuki and a bunch of small bits, combined into one 2-day FedEx package. All working perfectly! Follow up message from David to check that all was well.

Many thanks to Provape, David (Vape360) and Blake for stellar service.

I'm with you, totally. Jackie and I have no problems vaping in public around here. I'm talking restaurants and bars too. NO PROBLEMS ANYWHERE! But you can bet your :censored: that would change if we were blowing, "clouds." Sorry, that's just reality.

So this week, I switched from my beloved carto tanks (IBTanked) to a full sized Nautilus with the BVC coils, and I have to say that I'm fairly impressed. The vapor production is excellent on the 1.8 ohm coil @ 10 watts / Boost=2, and the flavor is actually quite good. Some of the flavor notes are different between the Nauti and a fresh carto, but still quite good, and it seems to keep producing the same good flavor even after several refills.

I can't wait until the Kabuki tanks are available in bronze and graphite finishes (hint @Zen~), which I'm sure will be another improvement overall.

I fought going the Kabuki route for months as I loved my Nautilus and Nautilus Mini tanks. I made the mistake of buying one Kabuki two weeks ago and my 3rd one is already on its way to me.

I prefer the Kabukis over Nautilus but they are obviously a ton more money.

Nothing wrong with Nautilus tanks and I still love them and use them daily. Great vape, they are durable and the coils are readily available.

I'm not going to fight it when the new finishes are available. I know from all the reviews that I will not regret the next move forward. For now, I'm going to enjoy this new (to me) setup.

But really, can't they just lay off? It's all about control, using whatever justification they choose: save the kiddies from themselves etc. I don't need a rule maker to govern my behavior. I also think there's no good reason for like minded adults to be prevented from doing what they choose, including hurting themselves. [Cigar bars, vape lounges, hookah bars, houses of "ill repute", as they deem them, and so on. Enter at your own risk.] And last but not least: we've all been kids, and we know that we kids will rebel, we will do what we want, we will find a way to circumvent the rules.
I'm ranting incoherently, sorry. But, it does get more than slightly annoying that we have these powers-that-be who believe they have the right to limit mine.

For the purposes you are talking about, I think I would bump the nic level. Sortta hard to chain vape if yer in the middle of a mosh pit right? :D Did I mention I loathe the unwashed heathen pig-dog defiler cloud gulping frak-nozzles that have managed to get vaping banned at an outdoor concert? Yea? K, just checking.
lol yea i am getting a holster for my vape that i am bringing so hopefully no serious mishaps :)
I initially went down to 12, because I thought that graduating from a Halo Triton to a Nautilus I would have increased capacity of nicotine, but I guess not really... I am going to get my fave flavors in 18 and see how the test goes again.

That there pretty much sums up walking in my shoes. Yes it does!
th
Right now rights are getting trampled on pretty much across all groups and unfortunately most people don't know, don't care or don't pay attention to what their group is doing to the rights of others. Selfishness is at an all time high in today's society.

I would suggest that these debates be left to other threads as tempers can get out of hand quickly.

There is a vape petition on change.org started by Les Leung and a group of us here on ecf. To fight the FDA deeming that everyone should sign though.
