Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part Three

[Wolfenstark]

Do you buy a vaping related product just for the sake of it , perhaps because you like the company ?

Commenting because of this Apple watch , people seem to have bought them all as even here there all now put back a couple of months in availability.
I own a few Apple products and even as good as they are the history over the last many years shows its really not worth getting the first release of a product.

Is it an I want it all yesterday attitude ?
Seeing as the credit card debt here is in the billions and billions then would seem many people are spending beyond their means.

 

[Wolfenstark]

Thats a problem when a company or product is very popular.
It can lead to complacency.
Most could have made version 1 of a product as good as version 2 but why bother when the version 1 will be snapped up.
Already have many people wanting their product so doesn't matter if they alienate a few.

WA and CA seem to be in the forefront on efforts to stamp out vaping. They seem to think by doing this they will raise millions of dollars. They can't even stop people from smoking cigarettes bought in other states to avoid paying $10 a pack. In WA the bills are completely sponsored by Democrats. I don't understand the reasoning all they are going to do is cause us all to become criminals to vape the way we like. Next thing the jails will be filled with illegal vapers. It is just crazy and stupid.

Excellant Ken ... right to the truth of the matter.

Here is your answer

Now I get it. Big tobacco doesn't even need to actively lobby against vaping. The threat of less money does it for them.

Hi Mike...good to see you.

My Freedom Smokes is doing an unflavoured Nicotine deal

"Buy with confidence knowing that you are getting the very best nicotine available and that it is always distilled from actual tobacco leaves not synthetically produced"

Fer some reason, dat comment really tees me off! When was da last time ANYONE saw synthetically produced nic advertised fer vaping? Ya won't due to extreme co$t$ in manufacturing.

Had MFS left da red highlighted part off, I wouldn't have an issue at all. But dat just screams 'weasel' to moi...

I just got to PIF!
The guy who greens up my lawn cam by today because I just had some sod put in. He asked what I was vaping, and I told him. He said that he had to buy cigarettes because he ran out of juice. So I gave him a 30 ml bottle of my Blue Drake from MBV to tide him over until he gets more for himself.
Always a good feeling when you can help someone. I didn't even know he vapes.

Awesome!!

When I ask if the new wood reos are going to take 6ml bottles and if the springs for wood models currently on the site will be suitable for the new ones.
Then don't get a response from the guy who makes them as he likes a post two below that one , so would think he read it.

He did answer it 2 hrs and 15 mins after you asked it if I did the math right maybe 3:15, but it was the 3rd post after your question

It is just a marketing ploy for people...

Just a note to let everyone know.......Rolygate said we'd most likely be moving to the new ECF software late this week, most likely on or before Saturday the 18th. Retired1 I think it was said that they're saying ECF will be shut down for 24 hours, but that it shouldn't take that long........... so just wanted everyone to be ready in case ya gotta talk to someone on here, then, make other arrangements now lol

Excellent letter David!... and Thanks for permission to copy/paste it. I put it in a Word doc for future use.

Folks, I am lovin' my pif'd (black) Lemo, and the (black) iStick 20 I got in a trade!

I got lucky and nailed the perfect coil on the first try (~1.1Ω), the iStick powers it perfectly at ~13-15w, and the combo has been my constant companion for two weeks today.

They look and work great together, and is a big step up from a modded Protank 2 on a mech clone. Air flow is set wide open and is more to my liking, and 5ml. capacity is double the PT2. This rig is so efficient I've lowered my nic % from 8-10mg/ml to 3.57 (I had a bunch of 50/50 @10mg. already mixed up, and to dilute it and get the pg/vg ratio to 70/30 and lower nic to below 5mg. at the same time, that's where the nic ended up.... suits me fine.

Lowering VG to 30%, drinking a tablespoon of diluted apple cider vinegar every morning, and drinking more water has all but fixed my throat (phlem) problem.

I'm mostly using non-flavored nicquid, but:

Bonus!: The Lemo upper chimney air tube diameter is large enough to look down and see the coil/wick with the drip tip removed. A few days ago, as I was peering down the tube, my little light bulb lit up. Eureka! So I carefully dripped one drop of French Vanilla straight down the tube and onto the coil/wick. I like the French Vanilla, but can't take a whole 5ml. of it... this way, I get 5-10 minutes of flavor before it washes out. Again, perfect.

I still really like my SubTank Mini/iStick 30, and if not for the Lemo I'd still think it was the best thing since humans figured out a round wheel was better than a square one, but the STM has taken a back seat to the Lemo/iStick 20. Both are pocketable, bullet-proof, make nice big vapor and a just-right TH, and fit my active lifestyle with aplomb.

Using the two of those in tandem, exclusively, for a couple of weeks now... and you'd have to slap this stupid grin off my face to get rid of it.

ciao y'all

That's fantastic! I'm so glad you've found 2 sets ups you really like!

Ken, nice job! It is a great feeling when you’re in the right spot at the right time time to help someone out.

Shoot! I was finally able to eat a bit of food this morning and keep it down. Haven't really eaten anything since Saturday dinner time. Slowly, step by step, I'm coming back.

Doesn’t sound like you’ve had a good week. Glad you are feeling better.

Wouldn’t be humanly possible to agree with you more.

Do you buy a vaping related product just for the sake of it , perhaps because you like the company ?

Actually tried to think of any time I might have done that and can't think of one instance. I do envy people that can afford to do that though. Does that count?

Here is your answer

How did you get that to come up? (And apparently no one did click the link to it I put up here. Sheesh. ) I tried and tried and tried and all that came up was the link. You are the first person to get it posted properly. There are at least two threads dedicated to that video and all they have is a link too. Great video.

That plus my understanding is synthetic nicotine is cost prohibitive. If it was cheap, we could get around all the "it's still tobacco, stupid" laws.

Thank you for the heads up, didn't realize the site would be down, let alone possibly that long.

I clicked on someone's, either yours or someone who quoted it unless someone else posted it, cuz I watched that the other day. and Yw. Lots of good info to be had here http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forum-how-tos/666330-xen-foro-tips-tricks.html Screen shots, videos etc. First several posts have most of the technical stuff, then after that it's Q&A.

thought I had commented, but maybe I didn't.

You know me, I was mostly kidding. Several people did comment and I don't care who they see the link/video from as long as they see it. Showed it to my husband and he finally understood what I'd been snarling about for a long while. The great part is, like my husband, other people are "getting it" after seeing the video.

The http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/forum-how-tos/666330-xen-foro-tips-tricks.html thread is a great resource. Started reading it and then realized I'd forget it all by the time they converted the site so just bookmarked it. So not looking forward to learning a new forum. Heck, I still haven't learned most of the functions on this one.

 

[Debadoo]

lol yeah, I've forgotten a lot of it too, but will have it to look back on.

Might be kinda neat to start new, cuz there is a lot here I've never learned, but I imagine that there will be many threads talkin bout how ya do this, that, or the other thing......so I'll likely learn a lot when I can do it as I read about it. Hopefully some folks will do some videos too.

Jup, that video was great....... explained it all very concisely. Many folks know it's all about the money, but didn't know exactly HOW it was all about the money til that video. Of course, Tx didn't take any money, but they're still putting regs in place......stupid ones too. Well, hopefully the house will vote no on a bill the senate passed. Someone awhile back posted a thing about campaign contributors to a particular legislator who was fighting vaping......and it was all BT BP

Ive been using it for a while now and seems fine enough. Some people throw around the pepper taste a bit but I haven't detected any at the 4-5mg I've been doing. Going back and trying some of my old 16-24mg store bought juice they all taste peppery and harsh now and I'd think their nic could be from all over most likely not all from the same source .
