I'm flabbergasted. And having a hard time believing that the US Customs dept is spending this much time and this much of *MY* tax money on seizing a shipment of personal vaporizers and nicotine liquid when there are plenty of other things out there that are legitimate threats to myself and my family. I guess it was only a matter of time though. I won't go into the debates regarding what I feel is right for my family and I to use and consume, because there's just no point now. But this is utter ********, and I'm having a really hard time understanding how easily they can cast me off to die from smoking cigarettes. "Personal vaporizers are the devil so go smoke cigarettes intead, get cancer, and die like the dog that you are". **** you FDA. This is ******* ****. As much as I'd like to start blasting letters off to congressmen wishing that they die from the same slow and painful death that they are now wishing upon us, I just can't do it. Instead, I'll start sending letters to the congressmen in my state thanking them for not falling into the same level of ignorance that others have in the states that are now considering banning personal vaporizers. So I now say, "Thank you congressmen of Oklahoma, for not wishing that myself and my friends and family members die a slow death from tobacco related cancer. Thank you for not trying to ban personal vaporizers in our state and this great union, and allowing me the freedom to choose how I wish to free myself from my tobacco addiction and not affect those around me anymore with second hand smoke. Thank you congressmen, for allowing me to use personal vaporizers instead of having to resort to products that have been proven to have a less than 30% rate of success in quitting the use of tobacco cigarettes. Thank you congressmen for allowing me the choice to not use medications that have been clinically proven to increase my chance of suicide, depression, aggression, and death. Typically I'm neither religious nor patriotic in the common sense of those words. But I'll say it now: God bless the United States of America. God bless me and my family. God bless anyone trying to better themselves and to better their health and the health of those around them. May the spirit of our founding fathers prevail, and lead us through this grotesque and dark time when the FDA can blindly curtail the freedoms bestowed upon us by men of free will. God bless us all.

miatafrank ,you cannot buy ciggerettes with 100X the nicotine for one thing and the amount of nicotine is pretty much consistant throughout the industry.But the biggest reason they can sell ciggerettes is the huge amount of revenue the goverenment rakes in from them.For all the theatrics the goverenment and the tobacco industry have always been a very close team with a common goal to pick our pockets and they do that very well.What we are doing is akin to what bootleggers used to do in the early days of alcohol taxes and it is really sterting to bug them .Look at all the goverenment agencies they created to regulate alcohol an collect what is due .

HA what a way to spend some tax dollars. This is absolutely unbelievable... this subject matter is the kind of stuff that pushes people to the convergence of anarchy... this truely leaves people stunned with a gaping void for respect to our government. What they're doing isn't even legal in fullest terms, one could fight this and win in a court of law, which I'm sure many vendors are doing so now. Not saying this is going to cause something like the LA riots... but this here has potential to go way over the top. Whether or not the FDA has been issued a warrant, I believe this to be a true act of violation to the fourth amendment.

I looked through a couple of threads at efc late last year because my searhes brought me there. I felt uncomfortabe just reading some of the posts. Not for any real reason that I can remember. When I found Vaportalk it was just the opposite. Don't quite know why but it seems like VT is more my crowd. I've always felt comfortable here and uncomfortable even reading from other forums. Don't know why and don't care but I like the fact that Chris and staff run a tight ship.
