  1. Interesting. Obviously I spend a lot of time in front of a computer but I was just telling my wife the other day that my vision was becoming blurry. It feels a bit like when you've been in the pool for a few hours. You're not blind but your eyes are a little irritated. It doesn't matter what time of day either. It could be the fact that I stare at a monitor for hours on end but at the same time it could be from vaping. I really hope that's not the case. I do spend quite a bit extra on my monitors to ensure I have the best viewing possible. It would be quite a bummer if this turned out to be a side effect of vaping. I think it might be a good idea to always vape by a window and maybe even purchase some eye drops? Sounds like keep our eyes as well as our throats moist could be important. After all, PG drys out your throat, why not your eyes? (Heh, we'd all have to feel each other out at the vape meets) EDIT: ha ha on second thought if we're all going blind perhaps e Liquid bottles and eye dropper bottles wouldn't be such good idea.
  2. Where did you purchase the battery from? DSE's batteries have been known to do this.
  3. New Smoke Everywhere lawsuit, this time it's against them. This is unconfirmed but was posted by legal one on ECF. ** Thompson Hine Slaps E-Cigarette Company with Breach of Contract Suit Thompson Hine has filed a $480,000 lawsuit against a Florida-based electronic cigarette company and its president, alleging that they failed to pay for work the firm performed on a suit against the Food and Drug Administration. The firm’s complaint also alleges that Elicko Taieb, the majority owner and president of Smoking Everywhere Inc., misappropriated funds from his company for personal use without first paying the firm for its legal work. Thompson Hine’s complaint, filed on Nov. 3 in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, contends that Taieb hired the firm on March 19, 2009, to advise the company on the sale and distribution of its electronic cigarettes. According to a March 17 engagement letter, Taieb agreed to pay Walt Linscott, an Atlanta-based Thompson Hine partner, $605 per hour and to pay a retainer of $7,500. The engagement letter also says that rates for other Thompson Hine lawyers and legal assistants would range from $185 to $650 per hour. On April 28, 2009, the complaint says, Thompson Hine filed suit in Washington against the FDA on behalf of Smoking Everywhere, seeking an injunction that would bar the agency from halting the importation of electronic cigarettes into the United State. The firm ultimately won a preliminary injunction against the FDA. The next month, Smoking Everywhere stopped making payments to Thompson Hine, eventually racking up $375,250 in unpaid fees, the firm alleges in the complaint. The complaint was filed by Thomas Feher, a Cleveland-based Thompson Hine partner. Meanwhile, Taieb entered into a second retainer agreement with the firm to have Thompson Hine represent him and his company in an action brought by the attorney general of Oregon alleging that Taieb and his company violated Oregon’s Unlawful Trade Practices Act. Taieb and Ray Story, vice president of Smoking Everywhere, signed a second engagement letter for the Oregon matter, in which they agreed to pay Kip Schwartz, a Washington-based Thompson Hine partner, $545 per hour and Dennis Southard and Eric Heyer $420 and $300 per hour, respectively. Southard is of counsel to the firm and Heyer is an associate. Taieb and Story also agreed to pay a second retainer of $10,000. The complaint says Thompson Hine was able to have Taieb dismissed from that lawsuit and to have portions of the complaint against Smoking Everywhere dismissed. The complaint contends that Taieb failed to pay $105,494 in fees related to the Oregon matter. In addition to alleging that Taieb has failed to pay for the fees the firm says it owes, the complaint says that he “misappropriate[ed] substantially all of the revenues and assets of SE to his personal use in violation of his duties to the company and for purposes of defrauding creditors.” The complaint alleges one count of breach of contract against Taieb and another for breach of contract against Smoking Everywhere. The complaint also alleges three counts of fraudulent transfer. According to court records, Taieb has not yet responded to the firm’s complaint and no attorney has entered an appearance on his behalf to date. Taieb could not be reached for comment. Judge Rosemary Collyer is presiding over the case.
  4. Yup all the new kits come with 2 batteries and 2 cones. So yes you pretty much get two eGo's
  5. ha one of my staff members moved my post. That's like moving the presidents desk. *cough* Brain
  6. So and interesting post was created over on ECF. Rather than summarize, here's the post. Interesting thread. Has anyone else had vision issues since they started vaping? Let's see if this is a large or isolated issue.
  7. Would love if everyone took a moment to check out Birth Designs. Business is slow but her website and service are great. Would love if you took a moment to stop by. Thanks Vapor Talkers http://www.birthdesigns.com/
  8. Sweet Dawn is a fav hands down but we're...well sold out again (sorry guys) But those who vape the midnight usually become fans
  9. Yup the Mako is a neat little device as well. I purchase one, never put it together, but it's cool looking. Quite a few members here own one.
  10. moving to noobie area. This is for "how to" guides only
  11. Put your left food in and your right foot out, do the hookie pookie and it all comes out, hey! I'll be here all night folks.
  12. Congrats you just got yourself a sticky! Awesome topic. Some really great information here.

  14. Noticed there two of these topics so I merged them together
  15. Usually it's not the liquid but your taste buds. This happens to me sometimes. Usually right before I get sick actually But there are times when the liquid just tastes dull. It usually subsides. Maybe your coffee taking over the coffee flavored e liquid?
  16. If the vapor is low and harsh it could be that your cartomizer isn't full enough of liquid. Have you looked at this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeaqRV4PmzA&feature=player_embedded Remember a cartomizer can take 1ml of liquid no problem.
  17. hmmm well it should be up and working again. If you run into any further issues let us know and I'll take a look at the logs
  18. Hello everyone, my name is Christopher. I'm a vapoholic.
  19. I've updated the permissions for the modification area. You should now be able to view images.
  20. Not sure why you can create a support ticket. New members have the permission to do so. Do you get any type of an error? As for the attachments I'll go ahead and enable them for new members. Keep in mind new members have limited access until your post count reaches 5. Also no need for language
  21. This will help: What is a 5 volt unit and why does it look like a sex toy Keep in mind these days you can use an eGo with a Low Resistance atomizer. The point behind the higher voltage ecigs boils down to more vapor. (no pun intended)
