Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Four

He may not agree with some of your opinions. But, he'ld love your feistiness!

that's nuttin new! hehehe But seriously I get it. My nephew is the same. He wants what he wants and that's it. But unlike your brother, he doesn't want someone else giving him advice about it. I'm almost positive the reason he hacks up a lung is cuz he tries to take short strong puffs, and won't listen when I tell him how to do it. So, he doesn't vape much. Cept to try it once in awhile, hack up a lung and quit.

Even Kanger is getting into the squonk game!

This is what I was thinking abut for him Kanger Topbox Mini Starter Kit

It is basically the new top fill version of the subtank mini + the mod that works with it at a decent price

OK. I see the TopTank can be had by itself: TopTank Nano. I'm assuming the old SubTank is bottom fill, right?

Next. Either the Wismec Presa 40W or a Kbox Mini depending whether he wants built-in or replaceable battery. (The newer Kbox in the Topbox kit has TC. He's not gonna want that extra complication.)

Then, he'll need coils. I assume the Clapton OCC would be best. Or, maybe Vertical OCC instead. The Vertical OCC uses cotton, more likely to burn. But, it has a choice of different resistances.

This is looking promising!

Nice! I wonder which coils takes. My brother would love the combination of squonk, subohm, and having a smaller atomizer (since squonking eliminates the need for a big honking tank).

Just to clear things up a little. My brother has been vaping a couple of weeks longer than I have. He knows how to do it right. And, at work he does vape exclusively. But, at home he just can't resist that lung fullness that he misses so much. He's very hard working and capable. He's the one that originally researched vaping and got us both started back in 2011.

But, he's very high-strung and intense. And, dealing with this himself just makes him want to explode.

By the way, his name is Greg.

yes the old subtank series is bottom fill. Which does not bother me any but does bother some.

That is awesome! It's amazing that this legislator actually used high school children to try to influence legislation of any kind. They don't pay taxes, own or conduct business, or even vote.

What's even more amazing is that this Ray guy sez they've studied it to death.

It's great to see a win for vaping and vapers. I have to wonder though about the following:

“While we would have preferred the bill was rejected, this gives us time to educate the sponsor and others on the actual facts that separate reality from moral panic,” said Director of The Utah Smoke-Free Association Aaron Frazier.

Does he really think it's possible to educate the sponsor about the actual facts? I think I'd give up on the sponsor and just focus on educating everyone else considering the sponsor said this:

“It’s disappointing. We’ve studied this to death. We know what the right thing to do is. We just have to find the courage to do it,” said Ray. “We’re not dead yet. I’ll bring it back. I’ll pound it until I wear them down.”

In my opinion his statement about studying it to death clearly shows he hasn't studied it at all (other than maybe studying which lobying group was giving him the most money for his next re-election campaign), and he already has his mind made up and is therefore beyond education.

Sorry, just a bit cycical, don't mind me.

LOL, I type a long winded response and then you go and make my point with a single sentence, all before I'm done typing. I really need to learn not to overthink and overtype.

Well you 'penned' your response well ... I don't think you over 'thinked' it.

Too many posts to catch up on. I'm sure no one noticed my absence this past month, but I will post anyway.
CONGRATS on beating harmful regulations!
HAPPY belated BIRTHDAY!!!
Belated HAPPY VAPAVERSARY!!!
WELCOME all the new people!

And here is my story for the month:
In my favorite restaurant today enjoying a Giro, and in walks two ladies with vaporizers! Never seen them before, so on the way out I stopped at their table and asked if they knew about VCC next week. They had not, so I told them where it is and they may show.
Then in my car driving off, and a guy came out of the deli next door and started vaping. That's three vapers I n the wild in one day!

Nice ... so were ya been for the last month?

 

[garyoa1]

Ken, I think we would all like to see who signed your permission slip to leave. Sure wasn't me!

That's fantastic!!!! and in Utah no less, where a whole bunch of the state don't even believe in drinkin coffee!!

Yours was fine! totally agreed!!

Kewl!! And, didn't realize it had been a month, but I did notice. And yeah, we do need to see the permission slip!

I know these are fine (99.9%) but wanna make 100% sure.
Sony VTC4 2000mah 18650 battery- pair - 101 Vape

these are 30 amp continuous discharge batts, and would work fine with any type of build I decided to use in my Reo right? I'm sure I'd never go below .5 and don't really even see me going that low, but I might go nutso sometime and do it. lol

I know they're flat top, but I"ve been using my flat top panasonics just fine. So particularly for those familiar with Reos, is there any reason not to get these? 101 vapes wasn't a place I had on my radar for batteries, but I think they're pretty highly respected, so is there any reason to think the batts might not be the real deal? Just seems too good of a deal
Thanks!

That's three vapers I n the wild in one day!

Two fairly recent observations locally are dat I'm observing more 'mature' vapers and less younglin cloud chasers. Hopefully dat is indicative of da 'truth' and educational awareness re da value of vaping!

Ken,

Inquisitive, nosy and unaware minds want to know what vaping relative items have ya created wid your 3D printer recently!

<pssst, have ya mastered whoopie cushions yets...?>

Totally agree. I think he should be included in education efforts. Then, after other Legislators reach an educated, reasonable conclusion, he'll look like an even bigger fool. Which is what he is.

Why in the world would you think no one noticed your absence, Ken? [emoji46]
