Might be the last ever too. From March 1st it will be illegal for Australians to import any vape hardware, and illegal for me to own and/or use any of the thousands of dollars worth of gear I've bought (legally!!) over the last 8 years.
Hmm

So basically you're controlled and confined behind closed doors of your own home.

From the sounds of things, people will be calling in bogus calls for "swatting" visits and "welfare checks"

That's insane. Guessing they're happy to let you buy a pack of smokes though.
Yep - from any corner store or supermarket. Feds get billions in tax from (the most expensive cigs in the world) every year. Cig prices/tax revenue legislated to rise by 12% per year on top of cpi increases.

    Simply ridiculous! So you can never vape in public again but someone can walk around town and chain smoke?

    Making existing gear illegal to own or use is one thing we always believed couldn't happen in the US. Not sure why. Even after prohibition became the law here it was still legal to own and consume alcoholic drinks that were legally bought before the law passed. Maybe there is some basis for that in the US legal structure that doesn't exist in yours.

    Guess you have to start being careful who you mention your "hobby" to. Tell folks you aren't sure about that you quit the vape, and so forth.

    True but I gave up talking to people about vaping a long time ago. I gave up trying to correct public misconceptions because I realised nobody gives a damn. To non-vapers, what we do is very hard to understand. No amount of explaining helps push through the constant media lies.

    Agenda 21 was in the dark web several years ago. You may or may not want to read into it.

    Better link here.

    not into far-right oddities, QAnon nonsense, or silly conspiracy theories...........

    "those types" have made many lame claims over the years that have been FACT checked and proven WRONG, over and over.......

    As a smallish last reply,

    :lol: :lol:

    consider how vaping as a whole is getting wiped out globally due to falsification

    Trying to tie that ^^^^^^^ to the UN's Agenda 21/2030 is imbecilic.

    Run that through that fact checker.

    Conspiracy theories are not facts.


    from the link above.......

    "From one end of the country to the other, a 22-year-old, entirely voluntary United Nations planning document known as Agenda 21 has increasingly come under bitter attack from a wide array of far-right fearmongers. Led by nearly a dozen extremist groups and their propagandists, the plan — a document meant to help local communities deal with overpopulation, pollution, poverty and resource depletion — is being pilloried as a secret conspiracy to impose global governance."

    That "fact" is......... true Critical Thinkers "in the know" truly comprehend and understand the UN's Agenda 21/2030.



    This thread is not the place for voicing far-right nonsense. The Outside is.

    ETA: Perhaps start an "Agenda 21 Conspiracy" thread over there. A warning, any and all far-right nonsense, QAnon lameness and silly conspiracy theories are routinely pulverized over there. With extreme prejudice.

    Meet Uwell's Crown X. Usually there's a drop off in flavour compared to the Caliburn series, but they've got it spot on this time - the flavour is superb. Plenty of airflow too in the RDL range. I like the huge tank size. I'd prefer a larger battery, especially for its size and max 60watts. However at 20-25 watts I'm actually getting plenty of time out of its 1500mah. It feels to me more like 2000mah, so the chip they're using is pretty damn efficient.
