These industries will soon be tied together

[smacuser]

It'll be hard to ban one without the other.

The underwear and scuba equipment industries? Be specific.

Seriously though, the issue is a word “vaping” and some hardware. The hardware doesn’t really do anything special it’s an electric heater for liquids. There are lots and lots of ways to heat liquids. So basically it’s just the one word.

Any industry that uses a 510 connection?

 

[r77r7r]

Well look at that. Pot, weed, dope??

 

[smacuser]

The pot and ecig industries .

Pods have been trying to kill the 510 connector in favor of proprietary stuff for some time now.

the legal pot industry is certainly trying hard to make that happen. They want to slide under the acceptability threshold of e-cigarettes. What is happening instead is they’re simply destroying that threshold.

I always felt, that in the near future, I'd be buying my vape gear at a headshop; complete with a sign on the door that read "No discussion of tobacco allowed".

That’s been happening for a long time now. CBD forced that merger over a year ago where I live. It’s really annoying to me. BTW, BT basically owns the legal pot products industry. So guess who is doing this. Again.

Unsuccessfully, mostly due to a much higher price point.

Let me be the first to say, I have a lot of cannabis smoking experience, but zilch when it comes to vaping it.

Are we allowed to talk about smoking it? Discuss different strains? Bongs?

The different types of high from cannabis?

 

[Baditude]

The only way to distinguish the difference between nicotine vaping and cannibus vaping is to be completely transparent and not talk around the "Why we don't allow drug talk". Personally, I applaud the decision by ECF moderators to be able to discuss this issue openly. This is just another hurdle that we must cross or we will lose our legal right to vape anything.

Why would we? It has zero to do with the topic.

I suspect it’s only even open because of the current CDC issue, and as such is probably temporary. I’m sure it can be turned off as easily as it was turned on.

I remember someone saying that the eGo pens came from there.

I agree. But, there is a huge difference between talking about the difference and setting up forums where people can promote it. Because, in my opinion, that is just going to fall right in the lap of what the media is pushing that it is all the same thing.

"In our view, it is now untenable and, indeed, irresponsible to be running “e-cigarette forum” and preventing cannabis consumers from talking about their products here and learning from veterans of vaping technology.
General Cannabis Discussion
Cannabis Vape Products"

Technically, this subforum is called General Cannabis Discussion.

Where is the "Growing" section?

I think you both could be right. I'm just happy we don't have certain words banned and don't have to come up with creative ways to discuss "the other stuff".

Both industries use the same vape gear. The only difference is the liquid.

I think it is extremely important to be able to discuss this topic openly at the moment. This tainted cannibus issue is arguably the greatest threat to nicotine replacement vaping that we have ever faced. Even more of a threat than underaged vaping and a flavor ban.

 

[Brewdawg1181]

I'm just hoping to get insights on those tiny mods they use!

And I understand the logic Misty quoted. But it really does worry me a little that opening it up here will just increase the conflation, if that's possible. Probably just pi$$ in the ocean, though....

Yes, but again, that is not what I am talking about. A subforum was setup to promote it.
ie. Cannabis vape products
