Pg is pretty good at preventing bacterial and viral infection when airborne, I have no reason to believe it wouldn't preserve the nicotine. I always order at least partial PG, both for that reason and for increased TH.

Furthermore, the shelf life of medicines and chemicals tends to be quite a bit longer than labeled. I've personally taken loritab that was 8 years out of date with no ill effects. (worked just as well as when it was new, back pain bye bye) Please note that I'm not a medical professional and do not take my word for it.... But yah...somehow I doubt nicotine would lose its potency if stored properly in a reasonably thick, dark glass container.

I am pretty sure there is a rule about having misleading topic titles, if you need to advertise incorrectly then, in effect, it is spam. You might think it is funny, or clever, but it's not a great idea unless your goal is to create a thread with a lot of hits as opposed to a thread that is useful. There must be a hundred stockpile threads.

true! the worst thing that would happen is the nicotine would break down into its more basic forms...but it wouldnt be that hard to get it back into its normal chemical form with some research and basic chemistry...i have taken many chemistry classes while at school and im pretty sure i could fix the problem with a little research and time :) chemistry is fun!!!!! everything is made up of the same basic ingredients...we could make nicotine out of a wooden table if we were smart enough and had the right equipment!!!! :)

You need to realize that there are many new members here everyday. We do not want to cause unnecessary panic where none is warranted.

Ads can can be truthful or not. I think ECF is a great forum precisely because here people can discuss and try to get to the facts as much as possible. The title really did need a 'what if', but New York does need help.

I would think the best thing for New York to do is to meet with candidates now! They're up for election/re-election less than 4 months from now! New York, and everyone. Stockpiling would not work for the U.S. at large, but voting, and helping smokers and vapers would.

NOT writing emails, but rather sending signed or handwritten letters by snail mail has also been recommended. Those who have signed and received confirmation of the e-cig petition should also follow through and print then mail the 10 copies as urgently suggested.

I'm afraid if you aren't being mauled by supermodels in elevators you are using this product incorrectly. Furthermore, as the ads clearly point out, the Axe Effect (tm) is only effective on men that look as good as the professional actors used in the commercials.

Thank you for your continued patronage,
A guy who can use the Axe Effect (tm)

To be honest, I only posted in this thread as it annoyed me, I don't really appreciate the 'clever' attempt to get people to read, and post, to a thread that really has been done to death, it's just a bit, you know, pointless.

P.S. I would stock pile mango. Yum.

Again I say TROLL, this from WikipediA:

In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun “troll” can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in that was an excellent troll you posted. While the term troll and its associated action, trolling, are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with 'trolling' being used to describe many intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context.

IMHO, this type of post is really not needed here. If the OP wants to play, there are other forums where he can get the response he is looking for.

Just my :2c:, again.

I don't know that I don't want to read it until I have actually clicked the link. Misleading. If you don't understand why it is such an issue then, well, go for it!



TRUE...but...once you find out that the title was bogus..you could say (in your head)...that OP is a ........what a stupid title and topic...and you could go on your way...no harm would ever come to you because of a misleading title..just like no harm came to me from buying the AXE bodywash :) no i didnt get flooged by hot european models in the elevator :) but i also did incure any irreparable harm from it...titles to stuff...no matter what...are very frequently misleading ...within another 3 days this thread would have been buried regardless and nothing else would come from it...i agree the title was misleading...i didnt really think about it when making it...and i didnt mean to mislead people..at least not consciously :)
