First, I use my 401 while driving BECAUSE it looks like a cig, so as NOT to cause confusion. However, I tend to hold the LED end of it, thus its clearly not a 'cherry' im holding or Id be burning myself.
Also, I live in a huge city... San Jose CA (silicon valley) so I can sort of understand his concern as we do have more than a few shady individuals in the area. Still, that fact that my car did not reek of any sort of drug, should have been enough to shew him off. Eh.
Anyhow, oy. Spent a fair amount of time on the phone with my local station just now and some... dare I say 'awesome', things happened. To cut the long story of a phone matrix nightmare short... I have an appointment with an 'officer of public relations' on 08-12 to inform them of these wonderful devises. They honestly had never heard of such a thing and would really appreciate a demonstration/presentation on the issue.
Honestly, Im excited to help out the cause and Im now choosing to view this happening as fate, heh. This could be just the thing we all need to help spread the word. Currently, in my location there is zero talk of any sort of ban or restriction on them. I am thinking this is a good chance to beat the FDA to the punch on it. My only issue is, I really dont know if I can represent this whole community of vapers fairly and fully as I am still in my first month of vaping.
I may be needing some experts on the issue to help draft my presentation. I really dont want to screw up a first impression. meh. I'll let you all know what happens from here =)
WOOOT WAY TO GO!!!, seriously! your my newest hero, whether you screw it up or not you got the guts to stand up and be a voice for our community
