Government depends on cigarette taxes. vaping threatens that revenue if people switch to vaping.

I am quite confident that the few percent of vapers who are fully prepared to weather any storm fall into the category of "not important enough".
Very excellent point. While it's harder for us to get what we need, we're savvy enough to do so. We aren't their concern. Getting this stuff out of the hands of the masses is the goal. Most of them wouldn't know where to go.

I haven't had any problems with ft but am waiting on two orders from 3f. Both ordered in September. One at the beginning, one at the end of the month. I'm ready to send an email asking when they'll be sent out. Once it hits a month without shipping it's too long!
On another note two different companies sent me duplicates of orders I'd already received. I'm sure not complaining about that!:banana::vapor:

No I've never used Sourcemore.
I tried to place an order with them this morning but could not complete the order. As in hit the button to complete it and nothing happens and now my cart shows empty and there is no record of a paypal transaction so I give up. It wasn't an i need just a shiny I wanted.

So I wonder what's up with that prison where the warden had vapes made, sold them to prisoners and used the money on improving the prison.

There was a thread about it here a few months back. Wonder he's getting grief about it now or had to stop the program.

I remember reading some links about that. It was pretty creepy stuff. They were charging the prisoners a bunch. The people supplying them were a company associated with a private prison corporation and partly owned by a Sheriff who ran jails where they were sold, and family members of the sheriff. The proceeds went into a fund that bought cars for Sheriffs or something like that.

The prisoners loved them apparently. Guess they have to go back to bootleg cigarettes now.

Does this mean they're trying to track the source of the tainted carts? If that's all they're doing then good. But if they're confiscating all liquids then NOT GOOD!
There is a article out saying they tracked it down It is on Fox business

YOLO cbd oil is whom they are saying is the culprit

Just like there were Many who wanted to Draw a Box Around e-Cigarettes and Definitively say... "See. There's the Problem.", I think it will be Shown that there were Many Culprits.

A perhaps YOLO played a part. But it wasn't the Only part. Or the Only Bad Actor.

YOLO is a different story. It was a synthetic THC product like K2/Spice that caused a bunch of seizures. K2 is well known as a cause for seizures in users whether vaped or smoked or however. It's not causing the pulmonary problems being seen, although I have no doubt some of the "vaping related illnesses" presented like that. It's even possible to see even "flowers" sold with K2 sprinkled in for an extra "kick" from illegal sources. Glad they traced it back to the source and have a product to target on store shelves, but it's not related to the vaping related pulmonary problem, it might make some feel better that some issue with dangerous "vaping" was identified..

I read that article. The YOLO business happened early last year.

I've ordered from Sourcemore 3 times and never had a problem. I just got an Ijoy Squeeze 2 last week. Sometimes it takes a while to ship it but once its shipped it arrives quickly.
Thanks:) Just to confirm, I received an email from them. I ordered on the 19th and on the 21st got a trking#. In the past their reputation was shaky but I think they cleaned up their act. So I heard from another member. I feel better now.:thumb:
