I'll never understand this. Not in this day and age. It's about time for a change.

I think I'll start looking for cargo pants. I'm SOOO tired of carrying a purse.

Imma get a Neck Basket like they advertise on tv.

I think I read somewhere that with extreme high heat (which we don't vape at) formaldehyde can be formed. Do not quote me on that, it was some study using a machine to vape, not a human.
i remember something like that,, and that was 1 of the reasons as to why we dont want to use the microwave when mixing.

I crashed and burned before ever getting up there. :cry: The last two days I've been having a very mild form of the mini strokes I had a couple of years ago. It's not a big deal, it happens. Today was very good and a huge relief.

Oh yes, it is a big deal. Cumulatively, they add up to a form of dementia almost indistinguishable from advanced Alzheimer's. The tendency to have these mini strokes is at least somewhat treatable.

Yep. One of my grandmothers died from this. A long time ago, before they had any treatment for them.

The main stream media is exactly the same way when they dis Trump 24/7 . 98% is complete BS.
I agree with you about what is said about Trump but the guy just brings it on himself. Everything is I did this and it was great I will make such great decisions, I did this and it was such a great move. Constantly patting himself on the back and he let Hillary get him fired up and starts to go off. I don't like either one and I don't believe either one. But the media are the ones that completely sway a lot of the public by putting words in their mouths and after watching the debate I was wishing I could've been on a channel that didn't try to sway the debate to their way of thinking.
As far as vaping it's the exact same thing, somebody blows up a battery you never hear what he was doing when it happened or what kind of battery he was using. In almost 8 years of vaping I have never had a battery problem. I have burnt a hole in my pocket using a telescopic mech with no safety features well none that were automatic it was a GGTS and it did have a nut to screw so the fire button wouldn't go on when it was in your pocket and I forgot to do it and it was firing in my pocket. I had some antiquated atty on it and felt something hot on my leg and looked down and saw smoke. But even though I had stacked batteries in it I still didn't have a battery problem just user error. But things have advanced so much that that is not likely to happen. It really burns me up when I see something about a vaper who hurt himself somehow and they never give the specifics. For me I'm sure that it was some idiot with something they shouldn't have been using and made some other screw ups but to the general public it looks like oh these things are dangerous.

What some of them seem to forget is that they work for us, in effect we hire them.

...I was wishing I could've been on a channel that didn't try to sway the debate to their way of thinking

Ummm, nawh, ain't even gonna go dere, other dan saying I CAN and WILL replace a doctor any day I see fit!

Pat, will totally agree wid your second paragraph!

Must add, I'll never take a shooting stance in da presence of an LEO wid a box PV/topper in my hands! Darwin hasn't caught me, yet... <although I have given him an opportunity or two or...>

That was with a dry burn at over 5 volts. Nobody could have inhaled it, but a machine that is...

I have fired a couple of doctors in my time. What some of them seem to forget is that they work for us, in effect we hire them.

Yea, that has not been the mindset for many years.

I personally don't use a mech but a lot of people do and have no problems with them at all so I'm not saying anything bad about mechs it's just not my thing. I did keep my GGTS because who know it may be valuable some day. It needs to be polished because it is nickel plated and it tarnished. I don't use Kanthal but many do and love it, I like SS but I think the problem is that anyone can buy them even if they have no idea about what is safe and what is not which is where the problem lies at least that's the way it seems to me. A newbie comes along and they're purdy fairly inexpensive and don't have a clue about using them. I'm sorry I'm just rambling because I am feeling weird today. Was hoping I'd feel good like yesterday but that didn't happen.

Yes! It was dry hits at some ungodly temperature! Something only a machine could do, not a human. Not worried about it.

I guess what I really don't understand is why people are so against it, how does it harm them, it helps people but they jsut don't seem to see that. I don't get it.
Bekuz according to the media itz no different than smoking. Hence... dangerous to everyone. Even second hand vape is rarely mentioned becuz they can't say it's just as bad.
