YAYYY!!! Just the protective cover. The film is on there so tight that I didn't even know there was a cover on it LOL I'll post a new pic shortly.

The towns, cities, states, and countries are under seige. There's too many at a time to post about here. Please visit ECF legislature sub forum to keep abreast, and also please join CASAA.org for info. Even CASAA has their hands full trying to keep abreast. ECF http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/legislation-news/ e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/legislation-news/ A few of the many facing threats: Washington Spain Canada Europe NYC Chicago Beverly Hills Your town USA & not so USA Watch your local towns, cities, city council agenda announcements. They are sneaking in meetings with just a few days notice, called "emergency" meetings. Why are they doing this? Namely 3 main reasons, all of them centered around money. 1. TSET (tobacco settlement endowment trust like http://www.ok.gov/tset/Grants/) whose smoke money is dwindling extremely fast as more and more smokers switch to vaping. Their programs are under threat of becoming extinct. Their pockets are drying up. The TSET divvies the money up amongst various "health" groups, such as ACA, ALA, ETC, towards tobacco control programs. 2. Smoke tax money is dwindling for the states. The states rely on smoke taxes, gas taxes, carbon taxes, etc, but the money coming in from smoke tax has extremely reduced because of the eCigs popularity. The Attorney Generals of each greedy state are trying desperately to ban the eCig, if they can't be taxed like smokes, which is why they demonize them, to prep for excessive taxes. Until they can tax them the same, they want them completely banned, to force smokers to smoke and keep the tax money rolling in. It's their cash cow, and the cow is drying up. 3. Big Pharma is also showing losses on their smoking cessation products, along with the products associated with smoking. (Allergy pills, cough Meds, etc). Companies, such as the Chantix company, are even going so far as to promote Nicotine Free world instead of smoke free world. Why? Because they promote quitting nicotine without using nicotine. Chantix is owned by Pfizer, pfizer is owned by Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson is owned by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. The RWF is a foundation which gives grants to towns, cities, universities, etc, towards a nicotine free world. 4. Many of these greedy politicians, cities, are vying for grants and bonuses, smoke tax, from all of the above. TSET, for example, has been rumored to promote 3 levels of grants, and if a city also bans eCigs, they will receive all 3 levels of grant money. (Bronze, silver, gold). All these towns are reaching for quick financial rewards, that will dry up quickly, instead of taking their power back. They could easily fix their broken bank accounts by rolling back regulations, taxes, and more. Giving power back to individual business owners, giving spending money back to the working man by not taxing him to death, and so much more. Reason.com recently released a powerful article, explaining just this. http://reason.com/archives/2013/12/03/fixing-california-freer-markets-and-fewe Please, jump in, visit the Legislature sub forum daily, write your congressman, city councils, sign petitions, join the Twitter bombs, ... There is a LOT each of us can do to save our right to vape. Many of us have been doing outstanding jobs of fighting the fight, and a huge cyber hug isn't big enough to show us all the appreciation felt by every Vaper out there. Others don't realize there is a dire fight going on. Hence the reason for this thread. There is zero time to waste. Let's fill this thread with the studies that prove eCigs are safer than smokes, minors are not becoming addicted to nicotine like the professional fear mongers say they do (this one is so dam laughable. Hookah pens, popular amongst curious minors, are ZERO NIC, so please, tell us again how vaping zero nic addicts people to nic). Refutes and debunks, all needed here. A library of truths, a quick reference. Let's get 'er done.

....and other gear. I really do want a VT t-shirt (or hoodie). Why don't we get some gear going? What would it take? A ball cap? A mouse pad? Coffee mug? Decals? Do I hafta go out and get a tat? What??? (I know nothing about what it would take to make this happen)

Accidentally pulling it up too far only happened once and that was my fault. I got too impatient and pulled up too much all at once. Since then I've learned to pull up only a tiny bit at a time and it's been fine. You're good to go, Patricia.

I am still loving my Vamo V3 almost 6 months and still operates like new. Has withstood several drops. Only issue is every month or so I manually stretch the spring to hold the battery more snug because it will occasionally lose contact and shut off. Chrome has worn off a little but I think it gives it character lol. I will not buy another APV as long as this one is kicking, and when I do, it will most likely be another Vamo.

Wher you get that Pat? Fashion mag?? VQ?

Too funny Lady!!

Didn't you watch Phil's review?? Ha!

Thanks Tam. That pulling out completely is what I am afraid of but I have been doing it since you taught me how months ago and I have not killed a battery yet. Now that I know that if I do accidently pull it up too much I can put it back together I am not so scared.

The ANTZ seem more upset over our habit than of our health. They don't care about health, just money and control. Beautiful, powerful article!!!

Jackpot!

"Another advantage of changing the goal to smoking cessation is to enable us to meet the needs of smokers with depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, for whom nicotine is very effective in helping them get through the day far fewer disturbing side effects than their prescription medications. " This is PRECISELY what drove me to use nicotine! I, individually, have some issues. Mostly depression and some OCD tendancies. However, the effects of prescriptions on a multiple are WILDLY different than for the general population. (If I were to take meds for my depression, my headmates can't even function, let alone have a meaningful life. So much so, the one who we put in charge banned the use of such medications. This effect is probably due to my headmates not having the condition anti-depressants would treat.) I don't have that problem with a little nicotine. My nicotine use has had almost no affects on my headmates, yet my depression has become managable. So... why should I not be allowed to avoid lung cancer?

Cool glad you were able to get a replacement.

Like Bebop says, rock the little end of the coil back and forth JUST A LITTLE at a time to pull it out a tiny bit. That's usually all you need, although when I experience that problem with my Spinners, I just gently pull the center post up. Been doing that forever now with never a problem as long as you don't pull the center post on the Spinner too far. Did that once and it came out still attached by the wires! I checked to make sure the wires were solidly attached and then carefully put the wires back in and pushed the center post down. No problem at all.

You get a BIIIIG hammer and...

That word for cigarette cracks me right up, always has. And the idea of people quitting them just makes it even funnier. "I can't seem to quit you. Don't tell my wife." Not to mention us LGBTs traveling in packs, like wolves. (My apologies if anyone is offended by my humor. My childish imagination takes a silly sounding word and runs with it till it trips and puts it's eye out.) My question for the idiot is... If you are hiding it, how the bloody hell are you "stinking up the room"? Antis are so whiny.

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.

Happy bday to me!

I don't own spinners, but a handful of KPT 1,2,3s. Never had this issue with twists. The great and powerful TAM is a spinner/ KTP chick, I'd listen to her advice on this one....

Spydre, I think that is why my daughter did it without a second thought too. I asked her and my son during Thanksgiving if they would like a starter kit for Christmas to give it a try and they both said yes so guess what they are getting for Christmas. I have already converted my 2 younger daughters over from analogs to vaping. That just leaves 1 daughter to go. Isent that amazing, a family of 5 maybe 6 have converted over to vaping from that first Blu I put in my mouth.

There are some companies out there that make e-hookah juice. When I first started out vaping (not too long ago), I was on a search for e-juice that I could buy locally, so I would stop by local smoke shops. One that I found was a hookah shop, I went in and they had some electronic hookah's and e-hookah juice along with some stick batteries (like the ego-C you tried). I bought a couple small bottles to try. The flavor was very bold and rich, and pretty darn smooth if you ask me. To be honest it was a bit too much for me, so I would mix that juice with some tobacco flavors to cut it a bit. The name on the bottle was Blak e-hookah juice. But I tried to google them and did not find a match. I think it is a small company just getting started. So yes, they do make some out there, but it may be hard to find. As a side note, I went back and tried the flavor again after about a month of not vaping it at all, way too flowery tasting for me. HTH's

I have mine set up with the short tube and an 18650 and there is NO wobble. I have had it for 6 months now and LOVE it!!!

VapeMail from FT A crap load of drip tips, including but not limited to, white derlin muffler tip, white and black derlin insulators, hybrid drip tips with derlin 510 but SS tip, and a few more drip tips. Also got my magnets for my nemesis, installed those as well. It also gave me time to thoroughly clean my button since I had to take apart the button. I like it a lot. The difference is minimal but good enough for me, I might add a 3rd magnet in there just to increase the resistance

I like that one but is it safe for noobs? Does it have a 5 click off function?

My cat looks at the vapor coming out of my mouth and is terrified, with a look on her face that leads me to believe she thinks I'm on fire. So, if I want to pet her, I put the vape down.

Dragon's Breath - Cinnamon Candy Butterscotch - Self Explanetory Didn't buy these i actually got them from a fellow vaper/truck driver. Met him this morning and hit it off, haha fellow vapers unite! Tried to look up this company but can't find anything, if anybody finds anything plz let me know. These are both great.
