Tootle Puffers, Part Three! (The Sequel of the Redux)

[Bea-FL]

Yeah I am still vaping off the ancient IPV2 70W device... I have used the thing so much through the years that it has almost ZERO paint left on it and all of the stainless steel is showing behind what little paint is still left on the thing lol... That's why I never take photos of it and post them on here lol ... Oh sure, I have other, more nicer and newer mods, but the 70W device is my all day go to vape.... The thing still works as good as the day I bought it even though it looks like h*l lol....

That's awsome your mod has worked so well for you! Who cares if the paint looks crappy now, can we still see it?

Edit: in case you would want another one MistHub has them on sale for $59.99!

Excellent news! According to an FDA press release:
"The agency plans to issue this guidance describing a new enforcement policy shortly. Under expected revised timelines, applications for newly-regulated combustible products, such as cigars, pipe tobacco and hookah tobacco, would be submitted by Aug. 8, 2021, and applications for non-combustible products such as ENDS or e-cigarettes would be submitted by Aug. 8, 2022. Additionally, the FDA expects that manufacturers would continue to market products while the agency reviews product applications."

Hey Woman, please tell me you are pulling my leg?.. Are you really a massage therapist? Oh gees, I have spent countless amounts of $$Money on massages........... Massages to me, are one of the best pleasures in life that a person can experience (without a doubt) .... It is so AWESOME that you are a massage therapist !! Too bad you had to cut off your nails though... But, you are making people feel very wonderful and that is something FAR better than flashing your nails around.

For really reals. Almost 10 years now.

Agreed. I wish I knew someone who was a massage therapist! I don't know how their hands don't tire! I can barely give a massage for 10 minutes before my hands are too tired!

Sadly my friends and family hardly ever get massage from me, last thing I want to do when I get home is more massage.

lol .... yeah I know what you mean..... I imagine that their hands/arms get built up through the course of time.... They probably get built up while they are in masseuse school.

They do, but using proper body mechanics is super important. My hands and arms hurt like hell. Ice and ibuprofen are my best friends after work.

Is it the kind that give full body massages.

Yes... but not like that! Definitely no happy endings going on in my spa. Whenever I'm massaging someone's glutes I often think what a strange job I have, I rub strangers butts in a darkened room. Only once in 10 years have I ended a session because the client tried to get fresh with me.

Yeah I wouldn't have any other type for sure.... I am NOT talking about the kinky and perverted type of full body massage either........ I am talking about PROFESSIONAL masseuses, that you pay lots of money for, that do a good job of massaging ALL of the muscles in the body and not just the back..... A full body massage is awesome and by the time they get done with you, it's like floating on air... you are very relaxed for the rest of the day....

It is the best feeling when someone gets up and they have that dopey, happy look on their face. Smoking and being a massage therapist were really incompatible so vaping has definitely made professional improvements for me. I never smoked while working but now I can have a few puffs between clients.

Good news!

I'm really glad you found suitable screws for trapping the wire!!!

Me too!

My Kayfun worked; but neither the SJMY or SXK doggy did it for me. Too much of a sacrifice in flavor.

These screws will help me build for much longer.

Taking 15 tries to trap the first lead was insane so i was almost ready to give up RTAs and go to my Nautilus Mini. But thats a flavor sacrifice too.

I did order a Skyline rta clone from FT. Sorta last chance

 

[Two_Bears]

Hope to God it's true.

For those like me. I am glad i stocked up.

Look at all the money i saved

Flavor for 6 more years, and avoiding increases due to taxes and inflation. Have enough wire to last a lifetime.

Those who stocked up on nicotine are laughing all the way to the bank. In a year the cost of nicotine already doubled and then some. The cost is going UP because of taxes and inflation.

 

[Two_Bears]

So thats good? And all those who stocked up did it for nowt now?

Heck no! Look at how much we saved by skipping the taxes and inflation. Simply by choosing to prep.

 

[RainSong]

I feel good to have 4 liters of nic in my freezer, that's the only thing I really worried about stocking up. I want more but it doesn't feel like a pressing worry now.

I agree 100%.

I would still prep the amount you need just as if the FDA counter acted that release.

Since i have flavors for 6 years but i will get more. Since ihave these kayfun deck screws so i can build for much longer.

 

[corn flakes]

So thats good? And all those who stocked up did it for nowt now?

What has changed. You still have TPD. I still have S-5 coming. Manufactures and retailers are still discontinuing products. This isn't like smoking, I can't walk 3 minutes and get gear like I can for a pack of smokes.

 

[Robino1]

So thats good? And all those who stocked up did it for nowt now?

It is good but(!) we don't know HOW it will all end up. To me it means that All new to vaping have time to figure things out and still stock up.

We still need to get the grandfather date changed. We CANNOT let up on our Representatives. It Needs to be changed by Congress or else any new President can put into place a new FDA leader that will follow through with that Administration's agenda.

Hopefully with this new stance the FDA is taking, will help get more Represetatives on board with the changing of the Grandfather date

 

[DavidOck]

So thats good? And all those who stocked up did it for nowt now?

Depends. I stocked 100mg nic. IF this change to the dooming holds, well, I don't have to buy nic at any price for many years. States may/will still try to tax vaping to death.

Being a tootler, I stocked up on "low" power mods (less than 100 watt ) when they went for fire sale prices as the cloud makers grew in favor. Won't have to buy another mod for about 20 years, unless there's one that really catches my eye. (OOOHHH!! SHINY!! ).

All over the last few years, so I never had to bust my budget. Those new to vaping, of course, didn't have that option. Now it seems they (and we) have at least a reprieve on the Federal level. So they still have a chance to become ex-smokers.

Very true, but the stated timelines are certainly a big step in the right direction.

 

[Katdarling]

THIS.

We've (at least most of us) have taken care of our own personal vape needs for life. But now we truly may have the chance to be joined by a HUGE group of now smokers!

THAT is heart-warming to me.

Here is the actual FDA link: FDA's New Plan for Tobacco and Nicotine Regulation
