Many congrats on your fantastic achievement!
(I'm right behind ya at only 505 days, 10,000 + cigarettes avoided, and counting! Lovin' every day of it.......)

Thank you all! And I had to think about this one, Steelgirl. So...

Contrary to expectations:

- Lavatube did not kill Provari.
- VMAX did not kill Provari.
- ZMAX did not kill Provari.
- TMAX (certainly!) did NOT kill Provari facepalm.
- Neither Mad Max nor Max Headroom made any new appearances.
- Clouds became popular, amazingly enough.
- New stuff became something that still needed to be built before we could use it.
- The FDA lost its mind, and the corruption of power continues.
- Vapers keep fighting, and vapers WILL win (standing tall, standing strong).
- 18 new products were announced, each of which offered even more power than the previous one, in the time it took to create this post.

I wrote a somewhat tongue-in-cheek epitaph, predicting the end of what I called The Golden Age of vaping. But as each new day dawns it remains clear that The Golden Age of vaping lives on. This, thanks to all of you - all of US.

Like a family of siblings we bicker with one in another. Who's stuff is better than whose? Who's way is better than the others? But when push comes to shove, like siblings, we stand together - and we fight together. We are, indeed, "one".

I can't help but wonder what the NEXT 1,000 days will bring. I'll tell you this much, I'm looking forward to it - whatever it may be.



OMIGAWD! Have you heard? A new Provari is coming out!!! It just may be the real {pause} Provari {pause} killer. Yeah, um... no - never mind. ;-)

Congrats! I keep expecting someone is going to start a med study on folks who have been vaping for a while now. Get ready to volunteer

I've got everything charted, numbered, plotted and graphed. I've been keeping data since Day-One, and I will continue to until Day-Six-Feet-Under. Bring 'em on! ;-)

and YOU, just by the way, do the same! They'll surely come knocking on your door, oh, about 927 days before they find ME.
