Can you guys who had your credit cards "hacked" please elaborate on exactly what happened, what was done as a result and what sweet vapes' involvement was and how you determined it was sweet vapes' responsibility or why you suspect sweet vapes had some liability? Honest question. I'm just a concerned comsumer.

Glad to hear you got your mods, if we happen to carry anything SV has at a higher price, let me know and we'll match them And then if something goes wrong you can track me down personally and I'll crack the whip.

I haven't smoked in 3 years. Have Marlboro lights reall disappeared? Lol. I never thought I'd see the day. I wonder if part of that business is overseas or out of the country. I don't know anybody who uses those Vuse things, lol.

Hi, I'm new to this forum, been vaping about 18 months and there is no doubt it has saved my life. Former smoker for over 4 decades, of which several were spent managing/buying for a prosperous independent smoke-shop chain in Pittsburgh, PA. I plunged into vaping headfirst after a friend of mine recommended it to me and haven't looked back since. I have become an enthusiast and advocate, make my own liquids, and find relaxation in the hobby. My health has drastically improved since I quit smoking and through vaping have also lost a considerable amount of weight. It's been all good except for the latest FDA intrusion which threatens not only the hobby but more importantly offering a legitimate less harmful way of getting others off cigarettes. That's my short version intro, hopefully this forum is less cliquey, genuinely friendly, and more mature than some of my other previous forum experiences. -Cheers

I work in law enforcement. Over the years I have been in courtrooms many times when I have heard a defense attorney object to a statement made by a witness and ask for that statement to be struck from the official court record. When this happens, the attorney generally states specifically what wording they want removed from the record and the judge repeats it to the court reporter when making the official order to strike the statement. The vast majority of the time the statements being objected to/struck are irrelevant to the case and really have no bearing on it, but every once in a while a statement made by a witness, whether warranted or not, can influence a jury's decision to convict or not convict. In those particular cases I have always found it interesting that the reason the defense attorney wants a particular part of a statement struck is so the jury won't officially "remember" it, but by repeating the statement and then having a judge repeat the statement while issuing the order to strike the statement it usually ends up burning that statement into the memories of the jury. While the struck statement cannot be used in determining guilt, it ends up serving as a subliminal message of sorts. What does this have to do with the FDA regulations? Subliminal messages. I was chatting with a fellow vaper here at work today about the regs and where we see things going. We are both in agreement that vendors not being able to promote vaping as a safer, healthier, less dangerous alternative to smoking is ridiculous. So we came up with the following text that a shop owner could potentially post in the window of their shop (or even inside the shop). It probably wouldn't fly very far, but it still might be fun to test the waters a bit.

I'm going to wait awhile before I order any more mods, at least until I see what Chris can come up with, I don't even mind spending a little bit more to help to support the forum.

I only have one problem........it should be painted on the wall, floor to ceiling in 3" letters

He just got the results of his ASVAB and pulled a 75% overall! Whoooot! He is planning on going in the Navy so he just got his ticket to go where he wants to.

It's funny you mention that because my friend Kat and I were talking about that very thing, not 30 minutes ago. Kind of stunning, if true. Like you though, I'm doubting the accuracy.

It's a very poorly written article that was probably thrown together based on a very limited set of available numbers. You are correct, though, numbers don't make sense. What I find more interesting (and even harder to believe) is the fact that the "big three" mentioned in the article have a combined 65% market share. The article says analysts predict sales of e-cigs AND vapor products to hit $4.1B in sales. So not only do the numbers not jive, but I find it difficult to believe the three brands mentioned have a combined 65% market share. I personally know dozens of folks who vape...not a single person I know who vapes uses Vuse, blu or Mark Ten e-cigs. They ALL use more advanced vaporizers that you order online or find in a B&M that specializes in vape equipment, not the "Big Tobacco" cigalikes that you get from Circle K, 7-11 or AM/PM (or whatever local gas station convenience store happens to be in your neck of the woods).

Welcome to Vapor Talk Lee! My OWN opinion is that we're a LOT more friendly and not at all cliquey around here, but I'm biased. When I joined not quite 18 months ago I perused this and several other forums. This is what I was looking for...a group of people who, for the most part, are more concerned with vaping for health reasons than than they were with comparing who can blow the biggest cloud. You'll find hobbyists here as well, though. DIYers, coil builders, collectors...heck, we even have one guy around here whose personal hobby is helping other people spend money on vape gear. I won't mention his name.

Sweet vapes done good this time I got all my mods today

I personally have stopped buying from them due to some security issues. I had 2 of my financial accounts hacked and the only connection I could find was I had used both of those to order from them. I don't know if it's an "inside job" (untrustworthy employees) or not, but I'm not taking any chances.
