Well, of course--simple common sense dictates that one test an illegal product to evaluate the safety of a legal one.

Rant warning.

The laws around vaping have always been opaque here. Various governments, state and federal, issuing a hodgepodge of confusing rules and regulations.

For example, it's never been legal for me to buy juice mixed with nicotine, but it has been legal for me to possess and vape juice mixed with nicotine.
It has been legal for me to import nicotine for personal use, but never to give that away or sell it to a friend. These days do I need a prescription to vape or not, and if so how do I get one?

While the gutless and/or corrupt politicians encouraged the confusion, the black market in disposable nic vapes exploded.
Discarded disposables littering parks, gutters and waterways and causing fires in garage trucks and rubbish tips, turning the confused and ignorant public firmly against vaping.
Parents watching their teenage kids buying vapes from street dealers and soaking up the bad publicity coming from all corners of the media.
I guarantee that 90 percent of people here, if asked, would put vaping in the same category as illegal drugs.

Of course big pharma and bt have been feeding stories like the one about cancer-causing chemicals to tame media and rubbing their hands in glee at the prospect of all the new customers coming soon.

Flavourless closed system vapes soon to be the only non black market option here, to be sold exclusively through pharmacies at a high price, meanwhile the most expensive cigarettes in the world will continue to be sold legally at any corner store or supermarket.

The governments addicted to the massive tax revenue are also behind the lies, and using the bad pr as a smokescreen to distract gullible voters from things that really matter and policies they want to sneak under the radar.
It makes my blood boil.

I know none of this is new, but lately it's been getting much worse.

It frustrates the hell out of me what you guys face over there. You've got Colin Mendelsohn on your side, but he can't compete with all the BS press releases absolutely swarming the place.

Greetings shiny folk

Couldn't agree more. My question earlier was actually rhetoric, but I get what your saying. Same story is happening here and Vapers could even face jail time if caught vaping. 'The new smoking bill'
Its passed, but they're still not sure on the nitty gritties.

Vape Mail arrived yesterday. My blue lost vape just kind of up and died on memm i doesn't fire when it’s pressed. So I think I found the last one on the world and bought another one. I’ve unfortunately leaked into to squonker one too many times. I dunno. Suggestions thank?

then I found Dead Rabbit had new DR v3 carbon fire designs so I bought three of those. Black, gray and blue for the Centaurus. Its hard to see in the pics but they look pretty sweet in real life. I should've taken waited until daytime. Maybe they’ll post better to see the carbon fiber markings

still looking for another Vaporresso Revenant Delta squonker though if anyone would like to move on from one. Hint hint lol!

I can’t wait to set these up because I’m the happiest when I’m vaping the dead rabbit v3 rda. Iom the best rda out there.

hows everyone else’s Shinys working out. I’m still so disappointed that fast tech closed when so many of the chinese sites are up and running. Oh well. I try not to buy anything in the USA because Massachusetts has like a crazy 90% tax on them on top of the regular sales tax. It’s crazy n

Good afternoon. I took a vacation day today for no real reason. We had a thunderstorm this morning that softened things up so went out and pulled some weeds. I was coming back in and decided to go ahead and do some tree trimming before it got really hot. We are starting a heat wave today that’s going to last a week and a half.

Some days you just need a day to yourself.

Hello Shiny's
Had a pleasant surprise in the mail box today, 2 Artemis rdtas I'd completely forgotten I ordered.

Aww wish I knew. I bought one and don’t really care for it. Maybe you’ll like it better than me. Believe it or not I found it was ac too airy for me which is ironic since I really like airy atties. Of my recent RDTA attys I think I like the Pyro v4 the best. Hope you enjoy it!

Tiny doggo!

Want!! Well if we’re showing our babies here are mine - haley and gracie.

I wish manufacturers were still putting out regular vape hardware . I hate having to scroll through all the the Boros snd AOIs etc…which I still don’t see the point of which is probably a good thing. But all the mods look the same. Atties too.and disposables. I guess there’s only so much that can be done with a design that’s almost perfect.

 

[Fidola13]

Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen,
About 2 weeks dicodes Dani sbs Qi should arrive in stores, I have prepared the card for duty.
In the meantime, I'm very tempted to extend the Knipex pliers, so much nice to see, but damn expensive. They may last a lifetime though.

Can’t wait to see it!!

 

[Fidola13]

I lied. Done now.

I think the future of Chinese vape manufactors is facing bad times.
The new regulations in China are going to break them, was written a little earlier in this thread the changes Dovpo is making, and they are not the only ones.
Dovpo had an excellent team in the UK, closed down. Aspire UK used to have a good site, nowadays it's almost like a shadow.

With flavor bans many European nations are introducing, even happening in red states in the US too, I know where we are going.
We who are here, we will manage going forward, most have tried mixing, and most use rta's / rba's. We will always be creative to get our daily vape.
But for the normal vapor who is used to buying a pod, disposables, a simple kit, brand juice..... with a flavor ban, it's like pulling the plug.

My new roommate vapes those disposable ones. There’s very little flavour and barely any clouds. He says RBAs are too much of a hassle to deal with. Especially with the building and refilling ets… some people just want to stop smoking which is fantastic I mean thats why I vape. So glad I jumped in the stash bandwagon when I did. but he’s not smoking so that’s a win. Vaping quickly became a hobby for me not just a way to stop smoking. With in a month i had bought my dual battery mood - vaporesso Revenger X which I still think is one of the most durable mods out there and the Omni chip was right before Evolv and yihi imo.

My first blue one died too. The others have been fine. I thought about taking it apart but never got around to it.

 

[Fidola13]

That looks totally awesome. Nice job!

This project looks similar to what I did to a couple Asmodus mods. I used the micro mesh and put several laters of polyurethane on them and the came out great Imo

i have several examples of what I did post at the beginning of the Showoff Your Stabwood mod. It’s different buy very similar. I was VERY nervous starting out to be honest but the end results i think we’re worth it.
in the daylight the difference is really noticeable. Asmodus didn’t do a lot of work on their finishing mostly a matte finish and I realize that saves time and money but one I started i was hooked. Left the shiny ones alone and just worked on the dull mattes.

and I got this info from someone here and over at VU who hasn’t posted in a long time. He had great advice. The colors just really popped for me Then o got spoiled with viscous and mod finishes and wow the rye very shiny if that want you like

That’s odd. Ima i should’ve looked for s different color but it’s so pretty. When it worked lol/! Its the only mod that died on my after almost 5 years.
if you ever take it oar please let me know.
