There basing it all on the " targeting kids" thing. They have a whole TV adds going around here how big tobacco is marketing for kids. Even to the point of putting the cig posters down low on the doors at the store so kids will see the and putting toys on top of the cigarette rack behind the counters. There saying that flavored cigs and cigars are to entice kids to start smoking.
From what I read in the bill, there only going after retailers and not Internet sails at this point. It would put the whole vape shop business underground. Prohibition all over again. All the kids will want it more because it's underground and sneaky.

Maybe they're going for state run vape stores.

Where would you put a sign a door; where you can only see their legs or where you can see who is coming in the door? Oregon can fix that problem by making kids wear stilts. Don't think for a minute that BT isn't paying the store to have that sign on the door.

Every store I go into has cigs behind the counter, I think it's the law here, and candy/munchies in front of the counter. Let's just make a law against anyone under 21 going into a store.


Problem with nic is, no one told the lawmakers it's not a carcinogen. It's got a bad rap for that. And the kids are already hooked on caffeine and sugar. They don't seem to mind that.

44% of UK doctors think nic is a carcinogen. That probably translates to 98% of Americans and 100% of politicians.

See, my problem is I tried virtually every tank on the planet. Still end up with the one everyone loves to hate. The lowly i30. I like a tight draw. More like a real smoke. I don't like warm vapes. (Don't like mint or menthol, but I digress)

Unscrew the top, fill it up, replace top. Don't blink, you'll miss it. And the flavor is there for me. Of course... YMMV.

Yup, and it's probably $150,000 every time he goes golfing. All the presidents men and all!

I do not like Obama at all. That said, he's the president and unfortunately gets a vacation. All the presidents before him did and I am sure all the ones after him will. Is the cost outrageous? Yes. Is it ever going to change? No.

Sent with no malice and not a whole lot of forethought from my new Galaxy Tab 4. Thanks Santa!


Vacations. Every other week. Not to be interrupted by pesky nob issues.

From USA Today:

Q: Is it true that George W. Bush took more vacation days than Barack Obama?

A: Yes. Before his two-week trip to Martha's Vineyard in August, Obama's count was 125 full or partial days and Bush's total at the same point in his presidency was 407.


Fact check: Who took more presidential vacations?

Presidents don't have an option to take a commercial flight off for vacation and ditch the security detail. We didn't vote for them to be imprisoned in the White House for their full term.

I picked up a Tobeco K4, got here yesterday. Seems to be working pretty good so far and at $25 from 101 Vapes. Looks like the spring isn't quite as good and the pos screw at the 510 connection looks plated. I washed it out but still get a little Mach oil taste from it. I'll have to give it a vodka bath on the next build. All in all, seems like a descent clone for the good price. I'll keep you updated!

I get the best vape from my i30-s. I thought it was going thru coils too fast tho. I just checked it and I'm getting about 30ml per coil. Is that good or bad? That's a 2.1 coil on an istick20 at 7.4w.

Never used an i30 but that seems ridiculous. The real troubleshooters on here will want to know what juice you use. dark surgery ones will gunk coils very fast.

Just the opposite... 90%pg, menthol. I wondered if that had anything to do with it. That's only about 5 days. I thought it should last longer. I guess for 2$ it's not bad. lol

Wait - aren't you the guy that vapes w/ those gi-huge-ic Big Budda's?

The diameter is large, but I have them sitting on 2six mods, with stubby drip tips, so the total length from stem to stern is only 5.5". That's a little long for using as brass knuckles, but far too short to get a good swing going.

I use the I30. (note the period) Not the I30S, b,g, x, L or whatever. Don't like even one of those.

I get about 10ish days out of a coil. Then clean, dry burn and keep going.

Depending on the juice and mod... running anywhere from 7 to 14w.

Um, beat me to it.

But as of last August 8, Congress had been officially out of session for 1183 days, when Pres. Obama was at 138... that's over 3 years in a roughly 5 1/2 year span!

Just a quick follow-up on my JuleKaga liquid - all it needed was some steeping, and it is great now. The Pannettone had enough fruit flavor -- which had been my original guess, since the breads are very similar. I think I am going to add a touch more cardamom, but I also double that when I bake it.

It will never be an all day vape (just as well, since the Pannettone is said to have diacetyl) but I'm enjoying it as an occasional change.

IMO, it' s bad! I won't put up wid any topper dat can't handle just 30ml.

Hopefully, BB will chime in, in dat he was a big fan fer 'em.


Well, you have to lock 'em up somewhere, so that they can't do any real damage to society, and the prisons are all overcrowded.

FIFO!


I think Bush spent most of his vacation time working from home on the farm in Texas, not in Hawaii.

<clearing throat>
Many, if not most, folk here know my political proclivities regarding my 'leanings'. But, do either CinCs vape? Regardless, we do have a back porch...

Yepper, I did have nuns as educators from my 2nd thru 9th grade. Don't make me pull out my wooden 'ruler'...

Obama either smokes or quit over the last year or two. Seems like that would be a prime opportunity to get some support for vaper's rights. If companies can send pbusardo so much stuff for review, I'd think POTUS should be on that list as well.

He PROMISED Michelle that he would quit smoking if he ran for president, so supposedly he hasn't smoked for something like seven years. Yeah-- real likely. :D
He was smoking while in office! Then they started the talk about the gum he was chewing on all the time!
I could just see him vaping a big old dripper with a sub ohm build:vapor::vapor::vapor:
Naw, probably a blue! Would have to be discreet about it! No clouds for him.

That's great! I'm glad you are getting the results you were after. Now, when the craving hits, you have your bread right there. Nice & warm, & just right!
