Thanks Spyder. It's gotten so crazy out there, very frustrating. But like Wells says, we can fight them, & we must. Mia, that was true for many of us, until our bodies flushed the entire cocktail of toxins we were addicted to. Once the body no longer craves that old stuff, our "habit" slows down too, believe it or not. Give it time to run its course. Some news that confirms the masses are indeed AGAINST bans. The ANTZ like to twist that picture, make it sound like we are all alone in each battle, & make it sound like the public is for banning. WE know the ANTZ lie, but seeing it confirmed warms my heart. I love Reason, an independent paper. One of these pay days I'll subscribe, just to help keep them afloat. Here's a poll covering many of the NWO proposed bans, including vaping. http://reason.com/poll/2013/12/13/poll-americans-dont-want-to-ban-trans-fa Big Pharma GSK makes the news. http://www.nytimes.com/2013/12/17/business/glaxo-says-it-will-stop-paying-doctors-to-promote-drugs.html?_r=1& (For some reason, I don't believe they'll stop. Well, they might, but not their "fronts" & branches). I'm cynical perhaps.

For those who thought WHO was who ran around inoculating from disease, discovering new breakouts, being ever so heroic on the battlefield of flus and viruses to conquer, too busy saving people to ever be mixed up in politics. Read this, google for more. http://www.who.int/tobacco/framework/WHO_FCTC_english.pdf

I couldn't agree more with his take on things. http://www.metrowestdailynews.com/editorspick_mobile/x915453088/Holmes-E-cigarettes-Savior-or-menace#thecomments Enjoy

I know, right. Methinks Sarge is trying desperately to hang onto his smoke funds, either TSET or taxes. So transparent when these shills come out to rock the boat. Don't forget, if you don't live there, you can voice your concerns for Tourists, business people, relatives, friends who do or will visit their town if vaping is not persecuted.

Big Pharma makes a killing. Big Pharma is one of the corps that will lead the Trans Pacific pact thingie. Here is a small blurb about the TPP you'll have to google to super research it. http://reason.com/archives/2013/11/16/the-tpp-obamas-dangerous-international-d. There are many "theorists" out there like Alex Jones, etc who have compiled tons of info over the years and are now screaming at the top of their lungs to wake up America. Take it or leave it, there it be. Research "Agenda 21" & "Common Good" and all that jazz. There's a good video named Agenda 21 for dummies, with speeches from those who were in on it all in the beginning planning stages, that might help to understand the paranoia our country is under. I'm new to all this stuff, new to politics, new to activism, new new new, but all these things are connected with WHO as the base advisory, planning, promoting, whatever board. The FDA, big Pharma, CDC, WHO, are all connected in theories that aren't even vaping related. I stumbled upon these other theories while researching for why CDC, FDA, Who, and others are lying about vaping. It's not paranoia when they're really after ya. Take my words with a grain of salt. Like I said, I'm just stumbling around accidentally uncovering stuff. True or false? I haven't a clue, but when they fight safer alternatives while shoveling MonSantos, chemo, arsenic rice, arsenic chicken, mercury vaccines, ... Plumb island experimental lab, new prisons called "residential centers" next to railroad tracks, .... And so much more, ... it's enough to make one raise an eyebrow. Both eyebrows raise when they start confiscating self ptotection weapons, practice civil unrest, towns arming themselves with tanks fit for battle... Got charmin?

SUPPORT THIS MEASURE! This one is FOR separating vaping from smoking in the ordinance. Let's show this Senator some love. http://host.madison.com/wsj/news/local/govt-and-politics/at-issue-electronic-cigarettes/article_3867f6ec-e5d6-5ae5-bc7f-1328101f4b61.html

ECig Regulating. By Dr. Ross http://www.nicotinepolicy.net/gilbert-ross/516-smoking-kills-and-so-might-e-cigarette-regulation "Effectively excluding e-cigarettes from the market via stringent regulation would have the effect of killing smokers and protecting cigarette and pharmaceutical markets. E-cigarettes, a far safer form of nicotine delivery, should not be submitted to tougher regulation than cigarettes. Americans should not have to die from misguided regulation." The entire article is quotable.

I've had no luck either. I gave up. Let's hope the recipe comes to us in a dream. I still think it has graham cracker, cheesecake, tobacco, oh gosh, I'll never know.

My pleasure! There's still tons more to go, the list is endless. Yet the ANTZ can't find any proof they are safer than smoking? :barf: Speaking of more, here are the studies the FDA SHOULD have listened to & put on their website. 2008 http://www.healthnz.co.nz/RuyanCartridgeReport30-Oct-08.pdf 2009 http://www.healthnz.co.nz/DublinEcigBenchtopHandout.pdf

NEW UPDATE!!!! (12-13-13). Aaaccck! They're at it again. Write, call, tweet, whatever you can do. If you don't live there, then approach it as a TOURIST or BUSINESS PERSON, or whatever you may be.

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, Council Speaker Christine Quinn, and Councilman James F. Gennaro are both just a few weeks away from the end of their terms as NYC officials. Bloomberg and company, having failed in their push to enact a de facto ban on flavored e-cigarette sales in the city, have decided to again bully ex-smokers in NYC by attempting to push through an ordinance that would ban the use of electronic cigarettes in all indoor and outdoor areas of the city where smoking is banned. On Wednesday, December 4th, the New York City Council held a hearing on these ordinances, with approximately 50 harm reduction advocates attending and many speaking in opposition to the plan. Following the hearing, two positive articles on e-cigarettes were published in the New York Times (“Two Cheers for E-Cigarettes,” “The Case for Tolerating E-Cigarettes”). Additionally, on Monday, December 9th, a committee in the Chicago City Council declined to railroad through a ban similar to one proposed by the Bloomberg administration ("Surprise Opposition Derails Emauel's E-Cigarette Ban"). The NYC ordinance was originally set to be voted on by the Health Committee on Wednesday, December 11th. However, we’ve learned that the vote has been delayed, perhaps until Wednesday, December 18th. The goal is to then have the full Council immediately vote on it on Thursday, December 19th at their meeting at 1:30 PM at City Hall (260 Broadway). Important Note for New York City Residents: Vapers and advocates cannot wait until the Health Committee acts on this ordinance to decide whether to contact other members of the NYC Council. It is imperative that NYC residents who respond to this Call to Action not just contact the full Council, but also the Council member who represents each individual person's district. Click here to find out who represents you on the New York City Council. We highly recommend calling their legislative office and respectfully making clear that you are in the legislator’s district and have a strong opinion about the e-cigarette ordinance. You can even ask for a meeting or return phone call. NYC and Nearby Residents: Please Contact All the Members of the New York City Council 1. You would like them to OPPOSE the proposed ordinance to falsely redefine "smoking" to include use of a smoke-free electronic cigarette. 2. Tell your story on how switching to an e-cigarette has changed your life. 3. Explain how smoking bans are enacted to protect the public from the harm of secondhand smoke, but e-cigarettes have not been shown to cause harm to bystanders. In fact, all evidence to date shows that the low health risks associated with e-cigarettes is comparable to other smokeless nicotine products. The low risks of e-cigarettes is supported by research done by Dr. Siegel of Boston University, Dr. Eissenberg of Virginia Commonwealth, Dr Maciej L Goniewicz of the Roswell Park Cancer Institute, Dr. Laugesen of Health New Zealand, Dr. Igor Burstyn of Drexel University, and by the fact that the FDA testing, in spite of its press statement, failed to find harmful levels of carcinogens or toxic levels of any chemical in the vapor. A comprehensive review by a Drexel University professor based on over 9,000 observations of e-cigarette liquid and vapor found "no apparent concern" for bystanders exposed to e-cigarette vapor, even under "worst case" assumptions about exposure. Additionally, a study by the Roswell Park Center that was funded in part by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) found that the levels of chemicals and toxicants in the vapor produced by 12 different e-cigarettes 9-450x less than in cigarette smoke. The authors noted that the trace levels of chemicals present were comparable to what is found in a FDA-approved nicotine inhaler. 4. Detail how electronic cigarette use is easy to distinguish from actual smoking. Although some e-cigarettes resemble real cigarettes, many do not. It is easy to tell when someone lights a cigarette from the smell of smoke. E-cigarette vapor is practically odorless, and generally any detectable odor is not unpleasant and smells nothing like smoke. Additionally, e-cigarette users can decide whether to release any vapor ("discreet vaping"). With so little evidence of use, enforcing indoor use bans on electronic cigarettes would be nearly impossible. 5. Inform them that the ability to use electronic cigarettes in public spaces will actually improve public health by inspiring other smokers to switch. Surveys of thousands of users indicate that the majority of those who switch, completely replace tobacco cigarettes with the electronic cigarettes, reducing their health risks by 98-99%. 6. Tell them that by switching to a smokeless product, you have greatly reduced your health risks. 7. Direct them to the CASAA.org website, as well as the CASAA Research Library, for more information.

Here's one (out of many out there) interview about how the media is run. She used to work with CNN... http://thelip.tv/cnn-lies-and-government-corruption-with-amber-lyon/

Wake up! Wake up! How's your research going?

I have the Nemesis, it's outstanding! The Customer Service is also top of its class. They have magnets now too, I bought some with my purchase, as well as other extra parts. Plus, now they have other gear that is for the Nemesis & 69, like a hybrid & stuff. It's well worth the money and it will outlive you.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!

Good interview and great interviewer!

This is an interesting way to get our stories out. It even made it in Newsweek!! http://investing.businessweek.com/research/markets/news/article.asp?docKey=600-201312100835PR_NEWS_USPRX____PH30514-1 http://youtu.be/Yw4zJZbIg9Y

Yay! Great turn out, & they tabled it.... but keep a close eye!

Very important! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/legislation-news/501859-fda-twitter-bomb-tonight-monday-dec-10th-fda-tomorrow-morning.html#post11528956 (Copy/pasted) Hi Vapers it was called to our attention by our Esteemed Scientific Director of CASAA.ORG that a tweet to the FDA by Tuesday Dec. 11, 2013 would be important and possible crucial to our having any say in the FDA's TCP ongoings and then roll the drums The FDA Deeming Regulations for Electronic Cigarettes............... Carl Smith who also has a couple of blogs, the one that pertains to this thread is here: Dear FDA CTP: Nothing about us without us! | Anti-THR Lies and related topics Where he has taken the time to inform us of where we currently stand. I spoke to him, Carl Smith on FB briefly and he liked the idea and commented himself on making this VIRAL and to the best of our Paul Revere ways get it done. Here is the deal. He stresses that we not all tweet on other than this ONE REQUEST AND WORDING IS PRECISE, it would dilute and confuse instead of make the point so here it is in a quote bubble love ECF for all these helping tools. @FDATobacco#AskDirectorZeller When will there be genuine consumer representation in the CTP process? Nothing about us without us! #ECigsSaveLives Visit link above for info. Let's get er done!!

What a nice article!! I'm so glad you found it & went for it. Congrats!!

I hear ya. The various media are funded by various political parties. Even CNN. Tv news is expensive, hence their loyalty to their funders. Some stations, like Fox, have reporters who counter balance, but they are not given as much air time. It's a shame, & I agree, very frustrating & corrupt. With all news releases, we have to be in the know of who is releasing the news. New York is really awful, bloomberg owns the news. Even so, they will allow an opposing reporter have their say just so the cronies can bash & bully in the comments section... check out the bullying in the comments sections. Just dreadful. But, being bloomberg, it's expected. The only thing we can do is keep plugging away with posting facts, data, and hoping for the best. Smokers need the truth. So far, the ones who seem most open minded and fair have been reason.com & Forbes.com. Naturally, that can change in a moments notice too. Speaking of news. This is in today. No Clear Link Between SHS & Lung Cancer http://jnci.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2013/12/05/jnci.djt365.extract They knew this years ago, but buried it. Now that they want the Vapers to go back to smokes (taxes), it's suddenly brought to the front. Good luck dudes. But hopefully the powers that be will take notice & stop tormenting, stop persecuting those who can't quit smoking. It's a sad sad world when people abuse their power & literally deny people employment, shelter and insurance just because .. Yep, just because.. A few of the many fact filled sites about the ANTZ ...

Fruit & tobacco mix great together. (Especially banana). Diluting 24 with 6 will give you a decent mid range mg. a little less than 12, unless you use a little bit more of the 24 than the 6. There are online calculators for mixing eliquids. http://ejuice.breaktru.com. Breakthrough visits the DIY forum often. Kristine is great at the calculations too. So is Mike and... Well, just about everyone is but me.
