I hope you're right brother, I hope all they really want is a "cut" of the action just like gambling. But it's just so hypocritical these companies responsible for putting out a deadly product - claiming at the time they didn't know better - are now saying vaping needs to be killed off until further testing. Most of this is above my paygrade. I'm just a foot soldier in this thing. I vape, I dont push it in anybody's face, I'm just surviving with what works.

You know I'm still recovering from phils april fools joke video. You might be onto something there trunker. I've heard rumors phillip morris (with wells fargo's backing) are R&D'ing the heck out of it but so far everything they've released has been a flop. I've seen photos, its like a Blu clone. They're still licking their wounds from snus flop.


Well perhaps Pat, but if my tag is anything - tobacco companies have lost a lot of money from us all, so a few are getting into the e-cig market. My point is as long as it's evidence based rather than just the usual hype-driven nonsense then if Philip Morris made Chalices, i reckon we'd buy one!

How many drugs have been recalled as well Red? Recalled because they didn't do as they were supposed to and caused side effects that were worse then the medication in the first place - birth defects etc.

I am not surprised big companies have trouble designing things that work! Takes me 15 minutes to make a coil i am happy with - they have no chance! Can i sell them? lol - why would i bother? They are not on a journey of discovery and everything must pay. Most of us are just happy to be out of their clutches and reliance on their tainted products, so until they come up with the goods - they are the same as us both.

Besides, we have an impartial network of experts in all areas here they cannot emulate and i am sure the same goes for suppliers too - i know i sure have a huge stack of cards from all the places i bought from.

I'll be more interested to see how pharma takes it; cigarette makers know the way. Nobody will rely on expensive gum and patches with such a high failure rate when they can buy pv's etc as easily, without feeling suicidal!

A little learning and it's not a huge step to total self sufficiency in these things. The only fly in it is nicotine liquid, which i expect the FDA to tax/regulate, but it seems to me most labs are easily ably to meet their requirements - it cannot be a coincidence that Wizard and RTS both have ramped up production and moved to bigger premises.

My girlfriend at the time used to clean and cook so well it was magical. But she lived in Holland!

I tired of the plane tickets and married her, but wedding cake is also apparently the best contraceptive man has ever invented. But i eat well and my house is clean! In fact, the real cause of most of the mess is sat here looking at this!

Ok ed, put your hand on the bible and tell me the truth. Do you have any buyers remorse for that rotisserie device you bought?? I am on the fence here, never been a fan of the 'made for tv' genre. First impressions when I saw your ham was "set it and forget it!" .. But I'm hearing things from people who say a rotisserie is a STAPLE in every kitchen, just like we all have a microwave, people are telling me to get a good indoor tabletop rotisserie.

So talk to me brother, tell me like it is, should I pull the trigger on this thing and buy one or not? If yes, what pricepoint am I looking at for best quality, little to no maintenence, and above all, performance?

Your answer will determine whether our friendship will continue with promise and understanding, or if I will see you as an enabler of kitchenware that ends up in the closet. Choose wisely.

Just put a huge pot of split pea and ham soup on YUMMM

Funny you should say that, I always save enough ham for just that lol. Couple grilled cheese sammiches and I'm all set. Fat ham and cheese omelette in the morning before work tomorrow. Starting cleanups so I'll be fashionably aloof 'round 'ere.

A night in my house...

HOly hot hell.. Like the jackass I am, I decided to unwrap the second a7 and recoil it. FIrst off I'm ...... because I had two packages of wire and one of them disappeared a week ago.. Fine Eventually I'll find it right? NOPE because I'm so freaking .... everything is in one place or another.. The other is the garbage can.. :) It's gone and wasted money is wasted.
Fine Wrap what i see as a sexy ****ing coil and oooooooh lucky me the screw gets stuck. Ok fine I say lemme just unscrew it and **** the post comes loose AGAIN!!
Ok by now this is usually the point where Craig starts breaking things, kicking the dog(FIGURE OF SPEECH) and blaming whoever is in the room (NO ONE BUT ME) for his problems.
I took a second, cried on the inside and sucked it up. Next coil is up, screwed in posts and everything seems fine. It fires, I needle some wick through it and FINALLY an hour later have a 2.2ohm coil. Not the Ohms I was looking for but better then having no coil at all.
If I had the money I would buy myself a HORNET RIGHT QUICK but sadly the good times are over and I can't buy any supplies period.
I need quality... These a7s are giving me nothing but problems and honestly I really feel if I had a quality RBA in my hands I'd actually like using them.
My night was honestly ruined the moment I opened up my OREO juice from Bj's and still smelled of melon medley.. Some liquid just stays in a tank and never ever comes out and then the idiot owner doesn't clean the tank right..

AHhhhhhh dragonsblood in the freshly cleaned reo.. PEACE IS upon me yet again..

REdhat this post is for you.. I think you mentioned how you love my stories a few weeks back, and then again it could of been someone else.. Oh well it's for you anyway..

I envy you folks that have... lawns, porches, yards, can make fires, garages, workbench, etc. I may live in amish country but I'm in an apartment near the city. Around here ya cant even spit off your balcony without offending somebody and fire safety rules by my communist apartment managment prohibit us from using grills, except for the one located next to the "community" pool which costs money for the "privilage" to use.

I AM 35 years old and still renting apartments, my high school guidence counselor did not tell me this would happen

lol, i got this Showtime over 15 yrs ago. I quickly learned that i couldnt live without it. There is no way I can create the same foods in an oven as I do with that rotisserie. It can hold a 15 lb turkey. Or two cornish hens. Its foolproof. I think its simple dynamics. Moisture rolls around on the meet instead of dripping into a pan. Prep is usually the same for me. Rub with extra virgin olive oil and pat on a good layer of Mrs Dash. Then set and literally forget. Biggest issue I have with it is when I cut into the meat, it squirts hot juice on me. Try getting that out of an oven lol. Ronco just came out with a slightly larger, all stainless one and I'm gonna have to pull the trigger on it. And its worked perfectly being used at least twice a week for all these years. Damn now I'm hungry again. Ham sammich comin' up!
