Unnecessary Attention

[karmakatie]

I have got to say, yes you will see some pretty far out mods and such on youtube, but just like anything else in life clothing, cars. homes music, etc there are differnet styles that appeal to different people. If you don't like what you have seen, very simple don't buy it, find what does work for you and move on! The OP's post is to me at least, very simular to saying because they don't agree with the lyrics/language of hip hop, that all music will be banned

The only time I use paper clips and syringes is while at my government job.

I don't know about the syringe or paper clip issue you're having but if you find a vendor that you feel is over priced you can shop around and find a less expensive alternative, I myself love a bargain and don't pay move then a $1 for a carto or $3 for an atty I buy in bulk and always look for the best deal.

Is the OP saying that e-cigs promote illegal use? If that's the case, then analogs promote illegal use also. Let's see, we have our rolling papers .... We have our cigars that are split, emptied and used ... We have our tobacco shops under the guise of selling products for tobacco .... Yet you're talking about syringes and paper clips? Diabetics use syringes too yanno. The one syringe that I have that does have a needle is blunt tipped. I guess I could poke my eye out or something, doubt I'd be . It's used for DIY and not filling my carto. And for the paper clip... God forbid anyone has a paper clip laying around. They should probably lock up my entire company for having staples too!

Lastly cartomizers.... Everyone here has said that they've gone a week with their carto and tossed. I've been going for over a month with mine and it still hits like a champ. Maybe I'm doing something wrong though.. It cost me less than $3 which is less than I would pay for a pack of smokes. A 10ml bottle lasted me a month and cost me $5.50 which is what I would have paid for a pack of smokes that may have lasted me a week depending if I were out drinking or not.

I don't know how more mobile I can be. I take it with me everywhere. Even when I go out to a club. I'm usually in a suit when I do go out and carry my PV and a bottle of juice in my breast pocket. The battery is charged before I step out the door. So far, I've never had to top off or have my battery die on me. To be fair, I'm not puffing on the thing every 5 minutes but trying to actually enjoy the club and people around me.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm ahead of the game. $22/month/analogs or $8.50/month/juice/carto.

I could continue on and on, but that's my rant

Hey....I want a hookah-looking mod so I can share no-nic vapes with friends at parties!

Me too! My friends and I would always break out the hookah for a party. How cool would it be to have a no-nic juice to share that was full of flavor and yummy!? Imagine one with multiple hoses connected to one big battery where everyone could have their own individual flavor or try multiple flavors instead of being stuck with one... Sounds like a good idea for a hookah bar huh?

Maybe the person who made the OP got burned by a mall kiosk vendor, I don't know.

With the E-Power 14650 the starter kit cost me about the same amount I used to pay for a weekly carton of cigarettes. The LR cartos cost me less than $2.00 apiece and last me a week. A 30ml bottle of e-liquid costs me about $15 with shipping and lasts me two weeks. I will probably cut the juice cost significantly after I settle down to buying larger bottles of juice and doing some mixing myself.

I don't see any way that e-cigs can be considered a gateway to illegal drug use. However, the first thing a younger relative asked me about E-Power over the holidays was if it could be used with hash oil.

As the e-cigarette market matures it will have to move away from the headshop market to something that fits closer to the cigarette market. The typical e-cig buyer is more of the Bogart type and less of the Cheech & Chong kind of buyer.

You were/are looking for an alternative to smoking. Focus on that.

Youtube has a comments section too you know. If you don't like something, you can post it there and address the person that posted it.

The FDA was illegally confiscating ecig shipments coming into the US. Because we were loud in voicing our concerns they got their hands slapped, and you can now order your equipment and expect to actually get it delivered.

Being quiet and low key, we would just get plowed over by the massive forces working against us.

too funny!!

Personally, I don't have a paperclip in the house, and the last syringe I saw was for my dad's insulin.

As far as being a gateway to drugs? I know of at least one person who quit smoking a certain green herb because well, all smoke started being disgusting once they made the swap to vaping...

Angry much, Chris? Need a hug?

I, too, have burned myself on paying more than a vendor's competitor was chraging for the same thing. Know what? It didn't stop me from using it to keep myself off cigarettes. 'Nuff said.

Shop around.

MHO, OP is nothing but a Nazi "ANTI" spamer. Dont get all worked up over his post. Just laugh and walk away.

 

[jamentertainment]

everyone listen up!!!!...the OP is correct, i was in his shoes twice...when i first went to cartos i also used a paperclip to popout the white cap from the end..it took me 2 mins to find one in the junk draw i was ......!!!...the second time I had to use the end of a fork because i could not find the damn paperclip!!!....OMG..then i had to wash the fork!!!...I almost sent it back but i was so ...... about the paperclip that i ripped up the box the carto came in...lmao

The OP also forgot that the juices are being marketed to kids because they have different flavors, just like NytQuil, nicotine lozenges, malt liquor products, diet drinks, and fruity bar drinks.

And paper clips? We all know that every junkie starts out by using paper clips. Maybe we should ban the syringes at Walgreens and Tractor supply, after all all those poor furry farm animals don't need medicine.

I "smell" an FDA employee.......or......an anti-smoking advocate!


Funny how this person posted this thread and then disappeared.

 

[wfx]

i'm guessing you saw the video of the guy double tailpiping it.

yeah these guys are a liability, but on balance i want them out there pushing the envelope on tank and atty tech.

i'm more worried about slip ups in a large scale prefilled carto operation. if there's a crackdown it's going to be the result of QC lapses.

Sorry that smell is me, must have forgot the deodorant today

Also don't forget the angry partner of someone... "You spent $70 on that thing when you could have have bought a carton of cigarette.... and now I can't steal a cigarette from you you selfish SOB!"
