Oh so quiet.... Ill just pull up a chair and get cosy and tell u a little story to pass the time. I got home an hour ago, ( 2.30am) i figured that while it takes me at least two hours to wind down i'll stay up. So im still up with my trusty friend white volt n classic grape. I figured if im already up when 3.40am comes around i might as well go into work and drop of the keys so i can relax and sleep in tommorrow. Im house sitting and its so quiet here. Not like my house where we live on a 3 lane highway ( 3 lanes up and 3 lanes down) but said house has foxtel so that's a bonus. So only 20 more minutes to go and come to think of it, i have'nt even yawned yet. Sleeping when i come home may not even be an option. Oh well. Haha okay i will leave this poor board alone and go and amuse myself with some t.v!! Volt on have a great day

Just as an FYI:

The discussion of the use of e-Cig's and the "Non-Smoking" Health-Care policy of companies . . .

First - it seems there is something that everyone has forgotten and has not been mentioned so far as one of the different methods/products used - "The Nicotrol Inhaler" . . . Which is an accepted form of many nicotine cessation programs and is very similar to an e-Cig (and what I sometimes use when I am having a "nicotine withdrawal" on an airplane or anywhere else that smoking is not allowed when I really need to).

Given this, although there are some minor differences in products and the use, a very good argument can be made - If an "Nicotine Inhaler" is excepted by the US Federal Government for use - than why is using an "e-Cig" unacceptable?" Both deliver Nicotine into someone's system by inhalation methods. Which is and can be a very extensive discussion/argument that is better left for more political debates else where on ECF.

What is more important, especially if and when anyone is tested by the company they work for - for using any "tobacco" products by testing for "Nicotine/Cotinine" in someones urine/blood/hair and are accused of having "nicotine being found" is knowing how long Nicotine stays in someones system ( How Long Does Nicotine Stay In Your System) . . .

So based on this information, there are many other different arguments that could be used to fight these finding. Just one would be the argument that the nicotine found is from "second-hand smoke" when the person was in an environment that "smoking" is still allowed - which can be long and extensive.

Also - IMO - it would be interesting to see someone actually fight these finding - by getting a lawyer to take their compnay to court, especially based on the notion that finding "nicotine" in someones system automatically means the person is using/"smoking" a "tobacco" product.

Just sharing some information and some thoughts - hopefully some of this might be helpful . . .

Well - I might agree with you . . . :thumb:

The primary difference is that the inhaler is considered a cessation device. If this happens to PV's and liquid we will be required to have a prescription or the liquid will be so regulated that it would quadruple the cost. Look at the cost of patches and gums.

I say that we just need to have a college group develop a new smoking test using some other unique tobacco signature found in the blood. Even something like a throat swab to look for "tobacconoids" (hehehe) or high levels of the base carbons in the smoke.

That would probably do it.

Leave it to an IT guy to know where to get all the cheap USB accessories.

Yep - so right - each and everyone one of those are very nice . . . :thumbs:

Just one more comment though . . .View attachment 59462

AH, "SEXISM" - is so alive and well in the choices of a USB Hub . . .View attachment 59461


Okay - I know, I know, J/K Right - "Feminist" lenses off. . . :blush:

EDIT: JUST as an FYI - this is the USB hub I have, and was able to get for under $10.00 - hard to find, but great to carry around since it is "foldable" . . .

Ha! I was going to mention it but since I actually went "ooooh" at the pretty colors and then said "thanks, Master" (which was oddly titillating to say) I figured I could let my feminism slide for the time being lmaooo

good call, Uncle.

It's like 1, 2 and 5 but got it at Ebay:) I have a four port hub at home but can only fit two usb chargers because of width. There is also a 7 port one available on Amazon like it

Amazon.com: digital innovations 4 port hub

You need to consider the total current draw on the USB with a full compliment (however many your charging at once) of chargers. As long as it's externally powered hub and capable of around 1500 mah (1.5 amps) you can use a passthrough as well. Each onboard USB bus (most have 2, 4ports = 2 busses) can't handle more than about 500ma (that's total per bus, not each port!) then burns the MoBo. Have you seen SteelJan's youtube about the SI pass through (she refers to the Belkin hub)? Lots of good general USB and passthrough info.

I'm :blush: :facepalm:

Especially since "Master" is so "GOOD," warmhearted, and a Freind :D . . .
And - I know he meant absolutely - NO HARM ! ! ! :thumbs:
Maybe "We" need to get him and some other men a pair of "feminist" lenses too . . . ;)

As long as it's an externally powered hub (uses wall-wart ac adapter) you're good to go. If you watch her video on the Volt Mega PCC, she'll itemize all the recharge current levels involved. Unfortunately, the review didn't go well for SI (sorry Imagine), but it's full of good details on recharging.

Re: froglegs; I'll quote Homer Simpson, "mmmmmm....froglegs!!"

Sorry, but...Go Rangers!!
