You've been gone too long! Where are you?
I'm still around, and drop by occasionally to read, but haven't been being sociable since last summers nursing home stay. I'm an extreme introvert to start with, and probably on the autism scale. That's part of why I like asynchronous communication, and prefer not to do real time talk. So 3 months of constantly being around people with no quiet private space available was pretty hard on me.
That and I've pretty much settled down into my happy tootle puffer way of
vaping. I'm not investing in new types of equipment, though I did pick up a handful more VV v3s as they get closed out, and I'm still hoping to find more Anyvape Davides somewhere.
I'm still writing and fighting for
vaping, though. Our senators and congressman have only replied with form letters, but I actually didget a personal response from our overly well funded (they get 100% of the tobacco settlement money) state anti-smoking office. I had included the information on the British health group's findings, and they basically did come back with the "we have to follow the FDA guidelines" response, but it did sound like they're sort of aware that vaping may not be so terrible.
The latest in North Dakota is a new drastic tax increase for tobacco that includes a
56% tax on vaping liquids, that got put on the ballot as a constitutional amendment since that gets our conservative legislators a way to say that
they didn't increase taxes. I'm happy to say that none of my suppliers so far have heard of our signature on delivery for age verification requirements, or at least are ignoring them.
I'm vaping a lot less often, and somewhat lower nicotine (though for me that's ~18 mg instead of 25) so I've stockpiled some extra nicotine but not a lot. Mostly just need to stock up on coils now.
