Didn't even have to look. Did you see the thing about diabetics going to Mexico to get their insulin at something like ten percent the US price? Same packages and everything.

Can;t "like" it, I find this disgusting.

    Sspeaking of diabetic supplies...my son who is a type 1 brittle diabetic with lots of health concerns had been switched to a new prescription by his doctor. When we went to the pharmacy to fill it, we were told the insurance wouldn't cover the meds because they were considered 'a luxury item'. I went ballistic, since when is having daily seizures, uncontrollable diabetes, myriad of health problems and having to inject yourself several times a day a luxury? That is what I asked the CEO of that company. They claimed it was a mistake and they started covering the script but that first day, I had to pay the $140 out of pocket.

    This country is definitely messed up regarding health/dental care among other things like vaping.

    Insurance companies are bad enough. Govt makes it even worse...just like everything they touch.

    Yeah, it's a smarter government in a far less puritanical society, despite being the home of the original puritans.
    Their healthcare system (which is funded by the govt) is busting at the seams and they have tapped out the taxpayer base to bail it out. They are desperate for solutions. And especially homerun solutions like decreasing smoking related maladies. Desperation can sometimes foster the truth.

    I think my cartoon may be too political, deleted.

    ...The case now is open; don’t know how to separate the board; seems there’s a lot amount of glue!
    ..Need to replace lcd screen

    23844530_10213381509406425_6381703959522158616_n.jpg

    ..be very careful when opening or first thing you’ll break is the screen cable
    first lift the cover, I used an iPhone tool; there was clue only at the base (red circle)

    Than carefully have to separate the cover , take a look at the glue in this pic

    Now you can push underneath

    This is the last thing to remove: if you try to remove this as first you will cut the screen cable

    Next step: unsolder positive and negative wires

    Thanks for posting this! It's the most useful post I've seen in a while.

    While I desperately hope I never need to, at least now there is a roadmap for what's inside Pro Vape's magic box. I wasn't worried all that much, but then Bill retired...

    I lived in the UK for two years (which I truly loved.)
    You're right about the financial difficulties with the National Health System. But, there is a more easy going openness in the UK to fun/sin/pleasure, call it what you want, than here where it gets twisted by the religious right and over protective parents.
