This kid was born 50 years too late! He would have fit right in with Hashberry crowd.

64 Megagrams of nicotine?! :facepalm:

Had to order it from "Nic-aragua". :laugh:


Am I imagining things, or are some of his mannerisms and phrasing reminiscent of Big Jim?

He usually vapes between 250 - 260 Megagrams of his Niquid? :confused:


You American Bandstand fans will understand this:

"It's got a good beat, you can dance to it, I give it a 75." :p

I also found it amusing, especially after watching some of the other reviews on Youtube. I also found one of the comments quite interesting-

• #20 • 10:32 PM Monday, Aug 23, 2010 • Reply I own the Vapor Spot, a Vapor Showroom in Culver City, CA. I see a wide range of smokers in my first few months of business. Everything from the pack a day Camels to the "only have one when drinking" people. The mall kiosks, the EMO doucher, the 22 year old slacker give the science a bad name. I firmly believe that these device will reshape the industry as we know it. The LA Times recently ran a very unbiased article that equated it to 95% less harmful than traditional cigarette smoke.Obviously its a choice and a smoking alternative for each user to make. But many people find that its similar enough to satiate their cravings. People are pretty subjective though, and these reviews don't help. I admit, some of the devices and the unethical reviews really chap my hide. We can all agree that this guy is a douche. But PLEASE don't think that he represents the future for these smoke free devices. Regular folks, some with medical conditions, have been interested in these. My whole store is focused on smoke-free living. At the Vapor Spot, I sell Vapor Cigarettes in zero to high levels of nicotine, and a ton of different flavors like peach, chocolate and cherry. The new revolution in science is here, and between the Peppermint flavored Oxygen, Clean Herbal Vaporizers and Vapor Cigarettes, smokers finally have ALTERNATIVES. At The Vapor Spot, I also offer Vapor Consultations where in a very upscale showroom, the client can sample differing vapor cigarettes, vaporized herbs, and flavored oxygen. There is real science here, but please don't let the image as its been so far influence your decision. My Vapor Showroom is more Madmen inspired with a retro 60's NASA theme. I encourage research and if you must sample, please visit The Vapor Spot for a Vapor Consultation if near Los Angeles. (bit of a plug i know, but I feel I have an expert level perspective on Vapor and my showroom is my credentials. thanks...3855 Hughes Ave, 90232) The Vapor Spot

From my perspective, that was the first blatant pitch comment that I ever read that actually made sense. If you go to the website, he's currently not selling anything on line, just an ad for his store. If I lived in the LA area, I'd go just to check it out. I'd also like to see if he's as serious as he reads or if it's a start of the high end "stereophile" store of the 70's.

Bassnut -- that link is to the website of one of our ECF members (Kelly). I think she's in Missouri, but not sure. Anyway, not the same as the place in LA.

Yes. Thanks. Sorry about that. I'll remove the post and link and I'll still pay them a visit.
I see that they're into the "herbal" vapor thing. Still, I don't expect to see any "pro" level PVs there. I'll be pleasantly surprised if he carries e-juice in bottles.

I'll be looking for your report on the business and the owner. He certainly got my curiosity up with his comment.

The parody review by RavenVapes5v510 has made BoingBoing!, a noted techie-ish blog / news aggregate.

Article here.

For reference, I'm not at all familiar with this person or their work, but I am a regular BoingBoing reader, and thought you guys might want a heads-up on this.

I thought it was funny. A little slow but I like the gummi chewing character Liam Lynch created for this "review".

260-260 Mega-grams of "Niquid" :lol:

CAUTION! This video contains a MIME! I just realized...
(Mimes creep me out)

It's funny you say it was "a little slow," bass, because I thought that was deliberate. Many of those reviews drag on and on that way! I thought he was dead on for a parody, lol! :thumbs:

Yes. You're exactly right!
I went looking for info on the Tesla gizmo and came across this review. He starts out saying "I'm going to cut to the chase because I don't have a lot of time..."

Nothing about the "Tesla Thumbtack Mod" I'm afraid.
What is that?
