    I'm confused?

    And I'm sorry to say (just the inner conspiracy theorist popping out) dont kid yourself that methodone programs and others are "successful" or really have the best interests of the addict in mind either. It's a shell game of shifting the money around with no real effective treatment of addiction. And don't even get me started on the "drug war" lol. This area is so hypocritical it's not even funny. Big pharma spends BILLIONS of dollars a year advertising directly to the consumer (ask your doctor about...) entire classes of drugs that have devastating side effects... And many of these end up in class action suits later. Todays wonder drug is tomorrows disgrace. Kinda makes you think when the disclaimers portion of the commercial is half the commercial!!.

  5. Well said... My kids grew up around power tools, farm implements, machinery, and firearms... they knew what to touch, and how to handle them when necessary. To this day, I can leave a loaded shotgun (not that I would) on the kitchen table, and not even my 4-yr-old would be curious as to what it was or try to play with it... They know what it is, and that it is potentially dangerous! It annoys me to no end how some people insight curiosity by trying to HIDE things from their children. Kids are smarter than many give them credit for... and simply telling them "no, you shouldn't touch that, it's bad for you" will be enough to make kids no longer curious... and they'll go back to playing with their cars or barbies....

  6. Spot-on Comp... Government is in the hip-pocket of Big-Tobacco... the taxes and lobby money feed the coffers of politicians and welfare programs... why would they want to cut their own throats? My cousin worked for one of the big tobacco companies... she indicated there is $0.37 in each pack of smokes (avg), and less than 20% tobacco... the rest is trash, chemicals, and "fillers" which contain the other 4000 ingredients that keep you hooked on smoking. If Nicotine were the addictive by-product of smoking, gums and patches would WORK... but 99% of us already know they DON'T WORK. The dosages are too low, and nicotine alone is not the addictive quality... it is only ONE of the addictive components, and it is the least harmful of the lot! Nicotine is demonized because of that fact... it is NOT the problem, nor the answer. It is singled-out as the problem by government because it is the false demon that can be exploited, much like saying motor-oil causes you to drive, therefore causes car-accidents. Vaping works because it combats the psychological as well as the physiological addiction of smoking. You get Nicotine, yes, because your body does crave the stimulant (but it is not the devil), you get the mouth/lung-filling satisfaction of warm vapor (and the mental satisfaction of smoke-like-substance being expelled), and you feed the hand-to-mouth repetition by putting the vape to your mouth and holding it in your hand.... Government is peeved about vaping because it is actually reducing the number of smokers (cutting into their tax revenues), and they don't have any hands in the pockets (or regulation authority "yet") of the "Big-vape Industry" (because contrasting to big-tobacco's big-3, vaping is thousands of smaller and independent companies). as Comp said... it's ALL about the MONEY (and control of both sides of the issue)!

  9. I like big clouds as much as I like big flavor. I normally vape between .3-.7 ohms. I have moved to more vg heavy liquids normally 80/20 but with only 3mg of nic. For me experimenting with different builds to find that perfect sweet spot is challenging yet fun, which keeps me a very satisfied vaper. My clouds would never win any competition but they satisfy me just fine. I do love the faces/reaction of smokers in the designated smoke area's at airports when I start puffing away.

  10. If this is true call the police and have them set up a sting with a minor. Having said that, if it is like MI, at this moment in time there are no laws protecting Kids from sales of E-Liquid. In that case call your State Representative and complain. If there are no laws then it is an ethical issue and you have little recourse. As far as the way or where they mix, or where they say it comes from... Ethical. I would have to ask how do you know this information because most people, unless they work there or know some who does, wouldn't know. Be very careful what you say and do with this because if it turns out not to be true, you become Libel for slander and defamation. Irf you are so sure about this take your evidence to the right people that can do something about it. JM2C

  11. The answer is in your post. "M-O-N-E-Y" It is all about billions of lost revenue and tax dollars for all three. They don't want you to stop smoking it is that simple. It takes away their excuse for raising taxes, Raising the Insurance rates, because smokers are the only ones that get sick these days so they should foot the bill and the blame. If there are no smokers who will they blame? Who will they say is the burden that is to blame for all the problems in health? Vaping is taking that all away and they don't like it. Back when I was a smoker our state in their infinite wisdumb decided that Smokers should pay the brunt of our states deficit and raised the Cigarette Sin Tax for that reason. They also tried to raise the Sin Tax on alcohol for the same reason, but that was dropped as being "Unconstitutional."

  13. It is up to the parents to TEACH their kids about what is dangerous in the house......to explain to them why it is dangerous and they should not be touching it or anything of the like....... if they are going to leave dangerous items laying around their house then teach their kids.........

  14. Yet there are flavors that try to imitate the tobacco taste.. But like said no burning envolved and trust me you would probably loose your taste for a burning cig after the flavors in the eliquid world.. Me I love melon so after quitting smoking . I had one week moment.. Quickly cured by ewww I smoked this for over 20 yrs! My taste is also heightened do a cig taste nasty to me now.. I'll take my flavors over the cigs anyday now that I've tasted since quitting this way.

  15. Flavor has little to do with your MOD. it has to do with the E-Liquid first and also your coil plays a factor in that flavor. There really are no E-Liquids that taste Exactly like an analog. Main reason is the delivery. With an analog you are burning a plant to get the flavor along with many other additives. With vaping, you are vaporizing PG/VG with flavorings added. Therefore, there is no "Mod" that will give you the same flavor as an analog.

    New to the world of vaping

    You're using the word 'mod' but is that what you're really wanting? Do you want to get a mech mod with separate battery, battery charger, etc? Or do you want a newbie user-friendly battery and tank that'll get you started and keep you going while you learn all the basics to vaping? Since vaping doesn't include burning tobacco leaves, there's nothing that'll give you the same flavor. There are really good tobacco flavored e-liquids out there, it's just not going to taste like a cigarette.
