Vapemail: silicone sleeves for my iSticks. They're great! Contoured so that the istick buttons are protected, but even more comfortable to use, while the cutouts for the USB charging port and the data window are perfectly placed. Strangely, the print you see in the picture is not blurred in reality, and the print is actually silver in color, not black. The blue color of the sleeves, though, is pretty true to reality.

Bells, I meant to tell you those covers are pretty sharp. I've wondered how well they work. FT comes out with more models every day and maybe soon they'll come out with one for the ones I use. Looks like they'd be great for a rainy environment too.

it is heavier than you think. Nearly a full pound.
Wow, that would not be good for me. Not in the market anyhow, but that's good to know.

Mini rant.
I'm going to give this 2 more days, then I'm going to ignore the thread.
Indiana HB 1432 signed into law and takes effect July 1st, 2015 | E-Cigarette Forum
I'm in Florida, so not much more I can do except contribute to a croudfunding campaign. But these people are more intrested in legal ramifications for DIY than in the fact that yet another freedom is being denied. I can take two more days of it (I think), then I have to hit the ignore.
Why are they not setting up legal attacks? It's the FIRST thing I will do should this come to FL. and I just cannot understand putting your head in the sand!
I really applaud you for all you do with contributing etc. I'm with tutu, don't think a lot of folks know what to do at this point.

and threw in a 10ml order of Renegade for Deb. Nite Lite upgraded it to a 30ml bottle for free. Charge up your batteries, Deb. :vapor:
Wow, that was so sweet of you and of them! Feel free to keep a lot of that and just send me a sample size of that and the RY4. I am glad for the chance to try them, but would hate to end up with a big bottle if I didn't like it. Of course, I know folks I could pif it to if that should happen, but, since we know you like it, may as well keep most of it. If I do like it, I can try my hand at diy'ing it

Hoosiers get a liter of 100mg nic now. Are they going to regulate flavors or just premade juices.
from what I understand, it'll be illegal to make your own juice even (not that that will stop folks), but my understanding from a lady who lives there is that to make juice, you'll have to get a permit from the state, 1,000.00 for 5 years and have a clean room type place to make it that gets inspected.

Again, all this is what I understand from Mrs C but, apparently they can't buy any juice online anymore regardless of nicotine content, so that would also mean that they can't buy bottles of nicotine online anymore. There is like a 10,000.00 fine apparently if folks are caught making juice without having a permit. But pretty sure folks will go ape crap crazy if they try bustin down doors to do nic raids!!

It's all yours. I couldn't vape 24mg anyway. I think you are convinced you won't like it. :lol:

Whoa! MrsC said that?! Indiana is the laughing stock right now but it's not funny. Somewhere in that bill it says permit holders can go after--sue I think--non permit holders for making juice. I am very grateful I do not live in Indiana and feel horrible for those that do.

Well then that would mean people cannot do canning, jam, etc anymore either without a clean room...

oh yeah, didn't think about the nic level. Trying to keep an open mind. and....I do think that it would be something at least to vape a little bit at a time. Who knows, could become an adv. Mostly I've stuck to fruity juices, cuz I like something I can just keep vaping, but with the Reo, it'll be plenty easy to have a bottle just for that, put it on, vape for a bit, then change. So I don't think I'll hate it by any means. and thank you so much again!! super sweet of you!

jup we've been talking about it in the reo lounge. she was fit to be tied the night it was signed. Just happened I was in the google hangout when she popped in ready to rip someone's head off. glad it wasn't mine! lol But glad I was there for her to vent to. Jup, I told her it was time for her to move to Texas!! lol

well I think it specifies Ejuice. Haven't read the bill though, so not sure.

I was being sarcastic. Sorry, but that makes no sense - how about bullets - can you still make them at home? How about rolling your own cigarettes? Need I continue?

Okay, I will go back to my quiet corner.

hehehe don't you dare go to the corner! I hear ya........it's nutso. I'm hoping she misread something, and that it's only for resellers. But I doubt it. I don't have a problem with companies needing a clean room that can be inspected, but yeah, for my own use, leave me alone

So... get the little people to fight amongst themselves, eh?

She's in the legislative forum a lot and not uninformed or stupid. I don't go in there any more signed in for fear of abruptly going off on all the inane proposed bills. I bet Indiana is going to hear a lot from her and already has.

My husband's eyes kinda rolled up into his head when I was trying to explain that part to him. Apparently makes no sense to the uninitiated either.

So my story isn't as big or anything, after all I'm barely 18 and have just recently started vaping.
So about 14 or 15 I started smoking, I don't remember why but one day I just got super stressed, I think it was about all the finals coming up, and alot of them I didn't believe I had a chance to pass. Someone offered a cigarette and I got hooked immediately. It got to the point where I would smoke about 30th packs a day, just to get by. I never truly thought of an alternative. I glanced at nicotine gum and patches, but I was too young to be getting anything that would help me get off of the cigarettes. Eventually a friend of mine told me he had an alternative to smoking but absolutely wouldn't let me know what it was. It was infuriating. Eventually my 18th birthday showed up and he set me up with a vape pen. Taught me everything I needed to know and even went out and used his money to get it, just in the hope I would take to it. Ever since then I've been slowly weening off of cigarettes, I'm finally at only one or two a day. It's incredibly amazing and slowly even becoming a hobby for me. I love it
Wow that's a lot to be smoking at such a young age! Congratulations on kicking the habit tho! Good for you for taking the initiative to do it! And welcome to the Porches!

I don't think they even realize that some die-hards mix their own. Pols are so out of contact with reality.
maybe not, dunno

jup, she's a smart lady. and I'm sure they have heard plenty from her. But also from a lot of hoosiers. They've been turning out in big numbers at hearings etc. Just no one cares. It's all about the $$ as we know. they used to be concerned about whether folks would vote for them next time or not.......now all they care about is getting the big bucks the next campaign
