While picking up my bags at the baggage claim at LHR and someone came up to me and started giving me a verbal licking for stinking up the room with my "cigarette" (they used a British slang term that I don't want to repeat here due to it being offensive in the states.) Instead of getting defensive I said respectfully "It's actually a personal vaporizer." After that they started to get more belligerent and a PO came over and asked what the shouting was about. They replied with "This brazen Yankee moron is stinking up the baggage claim with his tobacco." The officer looked at me and I showed him my eGo-cc and he rolled his eyes and laughed a little. Asked them to take in a deep breath and said "Do you smell any tobacco?" They shook their head and said I was hiding it (how that's possible I wouldn't know). He then told them to move along and came up to me, shook my hand and said he was happy to see someone taking a step towards a healthier life style.

You've been around long enough to know this isnt true

I get the same attitude from the vape shop closest to my house. Every since they figured out that I know a little more then their usual customers due to Vapor Talk education and the fact that I purchase most of my stuff online they act like they don't like me very much. They want to take away our choice to buy online if we want to. They want all online buying shut down so we would be forced to buy from them. That's why I do not frequent their establishment.

Unless she is the one in charge of ordering, then I would have to chalk it up to ignorance. Just giving the benefit of doubt. But, I must say I have seen a few web sites that try and pass off clones as the real deal. This when you knowing what you looking at goes a long way in getting what you want and getting duped. What is real bad is when a web site posts photos of the real deal and then send you a clone. Fast Tech is one place guilty of that. Look at the Chi You for example. They show a pic of the real ma-coy. when in fact is it a clone. They do though tell you it is a clone.

Just a few.. building coils relax me

Merlin say "a 1300 rainbow spinner "

You ask some great questions. Like when I received my KPT 2s all of them came with o rings, but I don't even know what to do with them. I know if the time comes and my KPT starts acting up I will ask the group and they will tell me what to do. It is great to have these folks as friends. I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I made sure to follow your post because I want to know the answer to your question. I do that a lot and I learn so much by reading other peoples questions and posts.

I could see these things flying off the shelf big style if it were a mech mod or mod with a dna20. I wonder if its even possible? From my puny perspective I think it could be done. I mean wood is way easier to customize than stainless steel right and much more cost effective. Damn if only I paid more attention in wood class.

Tell it like it is Uma!

It is more technique than incinerating the liquid. You can just dump some liquid in a pan and boil it on the stove.

Well, this one.

I thought I was becoming addicted to this vaping purchasing obsession but now I know I definitely am. As the clock got closer and closer to midnight last night and the Cyber Monday sale would end I felt like I was having an anxiety attach. I had been looking at these items for a week now going through the Thanksgiving sale and now alas the Cyber Monday sale. In a very short while I would no longer be able to buy the items I wanted so much and save money doing it too. . Well, I made one last resort, which I hated to do but I WANTED MY SPINNERS ANS COILS. I picked up the phone and called my daughter. I tried to hide the desperation in my voice as I described what a great sale this is and what a shame it would be to not be able to take advantage of it. When I heard her say "sure mom just tell me what you want and I will get it for you and you can pay me back when you get paid" I stayed calm and said Oh thank you baby,after giving her the information I hung up the phone and shouted YES! with 2 hours to go I made it, I got my Spinners and coils and they will be shipped today.

Great job on this run down!

Done.

done Thanks UMA!

Thanks for posting Uma!

And it should have all the power of a VTR with the battery lasting as long as a 3400 18650. Oh. And it should only cost around $20...

Welcome, and thank you for being up front about your stance. Are you aware of: The Drexel Study CASAA.org Kennedy Onassis research teams, and the studies being performed, notably Dr. Farsalinos Clive Bates Dr. Michael Siegel Dr. Polosos (sp) Dr. Gilbert Ross Forbes financial article CDC's Partial release of a study vs CDC's FULL release of same study National youth statistics concerning smoking (all time low) 100 French doctors petitioning FOR eCigs FDA, CDC, a French study, all being debunked and how, why, by whom. Big Pharma's grants to bribe towns, universities, states, etc into banning their strongest competition, the eCigs 156% ecig users were smokers, http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0079332 TSET's rules for receiving bonus grants... ALA, ACA, TFK, etc, and all alphabet soup orgs involvement in trying to ban eCigs by suggesting we keep buying smokes until eCigs are taxed the same way If you are aware of even a few of the above, then why are you in opposition? We want truths, no propaganda, no agendas, just plain dumb truths. I'm nicer than I sound. Honest. Welcome! If you're interested in learning more, I'll round up even more food for thought any time, just ask.

http://www.ecigarette-research.com/web/index.php/2013-04-07-09-50-07/138-cinnamon-flavours-in-e-cigarettes Details Created on Thursday, 21 November 2013 17:51 Cinnamon flavours in e-cigarettes: how inappropriate research can misinform the public and the (amateur) professionals By Dr Farsalinos Considerable debate has been focused on the issue of cinnamon flavors after a study was published in a toxicology journal declaring that such flavored liquids are cytotoxic. Just one month ago, a study published by our group also found that a cinnamon-flavored liquid was slightly cytotoxic (although still 10 times less toxic that tobacco smoke). I have already sent a letter to the editor of Toxicology in Vitro raising concerns about the latest study they published on cinnamon, however due to significant misinformation spread throughout the social media, I decided to publish this comment. First of all, it was surprising to see a vendor removing cinnamon flavors from his sales list. According to a well-known e-cigarette activist, When a juice maker that fills thousands of bottles a day does this - you should listen. My response to this is: If the juice maker who fills thousands of bottles a day knew what he was doing, he should have found out about it before any research was published. What I mean is that makers have no idea about the cytotoxicity of their products. They are doing no research, so how would they know? But it is even worse that they are making such moves (to remove cinnamon flavors) without even reading (or understanding) the research they quote. Let me explain. The latest study by Talbots group discussed about the cytotoxicity of cinnamon flavors in e-cigarette. Interestingly however, IF SOMEONE READS THE PAPER, he will find that the researchers never used any e-cigarette. Moreover, they never produced vapor! They tested the liquids in liquid form, not in vapor. How can you support that the results have implications for e-cigarette users when no e-cigarette was used and no vapor was produced? However, there is a bigger mistake. The authors mentioned that they tested 8 refill liquids with cinnamon flavor. They mention the names of the liquids and the companies they got them from. After personally searching on the internet and communicating with some companies, I found out that 4 of the samples were concentrated flavors, not refills. The authors themselves found cinnamaldehyde (the substance giving the cinnamon flavor in the liquid) at levels that differed between samples by up to 100 times. This confirms what I found: some of their samples were concentrated flavors. Finally, there is still another problem in their study. They tested the substance itself (cinnamaldehyde) to see how toxic it is. They found it toxic at levels 400 times lower than currently approved for food use. This is a very strange result and it is hard to explain how regulatory authorities have accepted cinnamaldehyde to be available at such high levels (of course, before the approval, several tests were performed and it was not found toxic).The authors have to explain why their findings contradict previous research. As I mentioned above, a letter to the editor has been sent and is currently evaluated for publication. In short, the results of this study have nothing to do with e-cigarette use and are more applicable to cinnamon use in food (since they tested the liquid in liquid form and they used several concentrated samples). Besides that, the reactions from manufacturers show that, unfortunately, they cannot accept their ignorance and instead of asking an expert so that they get informed, they react in a way that produces panic to vapers, does nothing to protect consumers and only results in a game of public relations tactics. This is even more unfortunate than the mistakes in the research protocol. As a final note, let's not forget that research has shown cinnamon to have anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant and maybe anti-cancer properties...
