If You Havent Seen This.....you Need Too.
keenan replied to EasyE's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
I walked into Mcdonalds and ordered a hamburger. The girl behind the counter asked me if I wanted cheese on it. When i told her that if I wanted cheese on my hamburger, I wouldve ordered a cheeseburger. She said " I was just checking cause they come both ways". They Walk Among Us -
Ok - this one will be interesting, I think. If you were President, what kind of changes would you make in this country. Who would you put in your cabinet, i.e. Vice President, Sec. Of State, etc. They can be ANYONE, living or dead, and dont have to be politicians. You can pick anyone, musicians, authors, etc. What kinds of laws would you pass. Lets make UTOPIA ! Heres my views. First - the I.R.S. is GONE. EVERYONE pays 15 % of thier total income every year, wether you make 1 dollar, or 1 million. Second - Any big pharm company that posts OVER 50 million in profit, gives 10 million to health care, OR has the choice to LOWER thier prices by 25 % ALL businessess that post over 10 million must give 1 million to education. Any hospital that charges 15 bucks for an aspirin, must give free healthcare for 1 month. We will take an old Navy aircraft carrier, anchor it out at sea 100 miles from any shore, and ALL pedophiles will live on it. No gaurds. No security. If you can swim back, you get a second chance. We will add more ships as necessary. ALL pedophiles convicted of KILLING a child, gets 20 minutes in a room with the victims family, and IF they survive, are executed THAT day. Vice President - Mark Twain Sec. Of State - Ted Nugent Sec. of Interior - Teddy Roosevelt Attorney General - Sheriff Joe from Arizona Chief of Staff - Robin Williams I'll come up with more as time goes on. Have fun with this

WOW !. Chris, sometimes Im just not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I dont know why, but that just NEVER dawned on me. DUH ! The taste of e juice is WAY better than tobacco. I notice that ALL the Camel flavors Ive gotten, from 3 diff. suppliers, all have a hint of caramel. I LOVED camels, and I LOVE caramel, so it all works out. Ive noticed that all of the Marlboros Ive ordered, again from 3 diff., really have no distinct flavor, and dont vape really well. I have tried cola, cant remember from where, and its good, but tastes like flat cola. Yesterday, I recieved my order of Pepsi from Wordup, and it literally tastes like Im drinking a Pepsi. I had never heard of Wordup till I saw thier banner here, and Im impressed with thier service and quality. Ordered Wed., Got it Friday. You guys might want totry them. Also, I went to order from dietsmokes, but you guys dont have my flavors in stock. I'll keep tryin though.

I know whay you mean. I try really hard to NOT be a "Born again breather". When I had that monkey on MY back I HATED when people would give me a hard time. As bad as it is for you, I think people have the right to smoke if they want to. When I smoked, before I heard of e cigs, you could have shown me a pic of my lungs, and it wouldnt have fazed me. I LIKED to smoke, enjoyed the taste. Looking back, I dont know what I saw in it, but it was what it was. I lost my Mom when I was 7, and cigs were a big factor as well. Where in NY are you from. I grew up in Flushing.

GROUP HUG !! GROUP HUG !! Really - ooh rah and way to go man ! I wish there was a way to MAKE the FDA hang out on Vaportalk for 3 days just to see what a GREAT thing e cigs are doing. Them being tucked away in some gov't lab basement means thay are NEVER going to see the real results of vaping. I got a question for you guys. I have a 510 from Arno. What is a Jantystick 510 ? Just a different name for the same product or what ?

Hi Fatalis. From what I understand, they;re ALL made in China, then redistributed here from different suppliers. As with any battery operated device, you get some good ones in the same box with the duds, especially anything from china.Just like the Blu cig, some people LOVE them, I hated mine. So I think the most important decision is a reputable supplier who will stand behind what he sells. I bought mine from Arno at awesomevapor.com. Arno is a GREAT guy, responds to your e mails the SAME day, great service, the best prices, his reputation speaks for itself.I dare say I wouldnt trust buying any PV from anywhere else. Ive been using mine now for 3 weeks, no problems. Also, this week I purchased some juice from wordup.com. I emailed a question about the strength, and had a PHONE CALL response about a minute after I hit send. And my juice got here in 2 days. So I think they must be a legit supplier as well. Now, Im just going by what Ive read here on Vapor Talk, so if someone needs to correct me, please do. Good Luck Fatalis. P.S. = I LOVE my 510 !

What does a siberian look like ? Do they have really short fur ? A cat that acts like a dog I can tolerate. Every cat weve ever had owned US. Im sure my post made me sound like a hater, but really Im not. Ive just never had a cat that I can bond with like a dog. Our Dachshund is really like part of the family, one of the kids. He wants NOTHING but to be RIGHT by our side at all times. Not in the way, just there.

Hey Seaspine, go to *Unsafe Link Detected*.com I live in Lakeland, so I know your pain with the Suckaneers. Actually, I THINK if u click on my banner it will take u there too.

Hi Steve. Well, you took the first 2 steps - 1. the desire to quit, and 2. - ordering your PV. Part 3 is the easy part, enjoying the taste of vaping, breathing 100 % better , and hanging out here at vaportalk. This is like a support group from heaven, and once you realize you dont really need the support anymore, you'll keep coming back to the friends youve made. Good luck and talk to you soon

Personally, I think cats are a waste of fur. Im sure they have thier place on the food chain, but they make me sneeze and itch and serve no earthly purpose as a pet. We have a 2 year old dachshund, and I will NEVER get another type of dog. They are the most loyal animals Ive ever known. Unfortunately, they have a Napoleon complex, they think they can compete with a Rottweiler, so you have to keep an eye on them.

Well, Wordup came today, so that was QUICK. Ordered wedsneday, 2 days total !

Thanks for the welcome back ! I agree, thats not the BEST comparison, but I wasnt really trying to compare the two, just the ends of where they lead. I think people do have a right to not be subject to second hand smoke. I was ALWAYS a polite smoker when I smoked, it was the rude smokers who gave us all a bad name. And if it means having designated smoking areas, thats fine too. But to forbid EVERYONE of thier pleasure because of a few is wrong, I guess is what I was trying to say. I dont drink anymore, I CHOOSE not to. I think everyone has a right to though. Responsibly. But people who drive intoxicated kill people a LOT quicker than second hand smoke. As a former EMT I can tell you firsthand, its ugly. But, theres no mad rush to eliminate the sale of liqour. And how is peppermint flavored schnaaps any different than flavored cigarettes? I may not have linked the 2 tegether in the best way, but there IS a link. I look forward to interesting debates as well, keeps my mind in tune !

I thought Id start a topic to get everyones opinion about juice and suppliers. If theres already a thread on this, forgive me. Let me explain what Im looking for. So far, Ive bought juice from Arno at awesomevapor, Rocky Mountain Vapor, Vapor Kings, and Wordup ecig. Now, anyone who knows Arno knows his rep speaks for itself, I CANT speak highly enuff about him. But Ive noticed something with all of my juices. I have bought Camel from all (except Arno, he doesnt carry it), and they DONT taste like camel to me. Now, I was a HARDCORE camel wide smoker for 20 years, so I know Im expecting too much. But Ive also tried Marlboro from all, and same thing. Doesnt really taste like a marlboro. Dont get me wrong, Im NOT complaining. The tastes are BETTER than the analogs, just not authentic I guess is what Im trying to say. So, whats everyone elses opinion. As far as suppliers, what are your experiences. With me, Arno has the best price and service hands down. I made my first purchase from Wordup yesterday. Prices seem good, and a good variety of flavors. After I clicked on "submit order", I realized I ordered in the wrong strength, so I left an e mail in the contact us area, which also had a place for my phone #. I hit "send", stood up and walked to the coffee pot, and my phone rang ! It was someone from Wordup saying "no problem," theyd change the strength on the order, AND were giving me a free sample flavor. So, thats a good sign from a new supplier, new to me anyway. Rocky Mt Vapor and Vapor Kings also have good selection, but Arno beats them by about 3 days as far as date of order to my door. With Arno, I have NEVER waited more than 3 days. Rocky was about 8 days, and vaopr king about 6. We'll see how long for Wordup. (Chris, next week YOU get an order from me. I always forget you guys sell too. )

It is sad, and I could go ON AND ON, (ask Chris), sometimes I get into such a rant I actually get FURIOUS while Im typing.

Thanks for the welcome back ! I LOVE this forum, its things like that, that make Vapor Talk so great.
-
Huh ! I didnt know you should change the carts that often. Ive been re-using mine for my 510 for about 3 weeks. I have noticed the filler getting ruff looking, but it hasnt effected the taste. I think I,ll change them to see if theres a diff.

I would agree to a totally smoke-free UNIVERSE if and only if, we address ALL the things that adversely affect everyone. The equivelent to 2nd hand smoke in the drinking world is DUI. Are we going to have an alcohol free universe? No. We tried that. Didnt work. This smear campaign is the 2nd coming of prohibition, this time using tobacco. It will have the SAME outcome as the first. It will turn ordinarily honest law abiding citizens into common law breaking criminals. From suppliers to users. The generation that has come into power is the one that grew up during the 50s and 60s, who believed in RADICAL change. NOW, they have the power to FORCE thier beliefs on everyone and change the laws to suit themselves, not for the good of the masses, but for self serving results. WOW, I'm ranting again.

Hi guys. Been down sick for a couple days, good to be back. Yes, I agree the 510 is the choice. I too have been smoking since I was 15, although Im only 50, but I was a HARDCORE chain smoker. I started vaping with the Blu, because I wanted it to look and feel like a REAL cig. HUGE mistake, the Blu was so disappointing I almost gave up completely to go back to analogs. But I remembered an e mail Arno at awesomevapor sent me telling me to cancel my order and try the 510 because he knew I would be disappointed. So I got the 510 and the rest is history. Now, Im a chain vaper, I RARELY dont have the thing in my hand. I have 2 manual batts and a pass through, and I havent had any problems with the batts. I just rotate them and use the pass thru a lot. If your dad is serious about trying it, and scared like I was to let go of that security blanket, I really think the 510 is what he'll go for. If it worked for a chiminy like me, I think it;ll work for everyone. Good luck !

What You Folks Up North Do During The Winter To Smoke At Work?
keenan replied to doglips's topic in General Vaping Discussion
Well, Im finally rested up and back for about 20 minutes tonight, but Ill be here all day tomorrow. I grew up in Queens, NY. Lived there till I was 21. Back then, you could smoke ANYWHERE. (thats how old I am ). I used to work in a grocery store in Brooklyn, and I remember stocking the shelves with a cig in my mouth. When My first child was born, I smoked in the room where my wife was. When I joined the Navy, we could still smoke everywhere. I remember in boot camp, the first 3 weeks NO ONE could smoke. Then one day our Company Commander (the Navys equivalent to a drill sgt.) said "We're all gonna go and have 1 cigarette and 1 cigarette only. When we got outside, he pulled out a smoke and said "Heres the 1 cigarette", and he lit it and passed it around. SUCKED. I was the 53rd guy out of about 80, so I got nothin. About a week later we got regular smoke breaks twice a day. I remember a couple of times hearing " Smoke em if you got em, everyone else grab a broom". So I made sure I ALWAYS had cigs on me. When I got discharged, I was in Florida waiting to go home, met a girl, married her, and here I stayed on and off for 28 years. Through the years, as our rights were slowly taken away, I lived in New York and saw restriction after restriction take place. It was as if smokers had developed leprocy. As far as the cold goes, it never bothered me, I like it WAY better than the heat and humidity of Florida. I can find a way to get warm, but theres NO friggin way to get cool unless you stay inside in air conditioning. My wife and I have a deal, after I retire, its back to the North ! -
Yeah, I definitly need a car charger. And a spare 510. And a spare ... oh well. I actually brought my Blu with the PCC, I thought it was better than nothing. Wrong. It WAS nothing. Its like lighting an analog, and only getting 1 good hit out of 9. Driving was frustrating enough, so I just caved in. Plus, we were in a rush. And I drove ALL the way there and back. I havent been THIS tired since I was in the Navy. Glad to be back, thanks for the awesome welcome back. Vapor talk is the greatest.

Gonna sleep for now. talk to u guys tonight. MISSED vapor talk the most!

Yeah, let her go on a E cig shopping spree. Spending money always gets my wife motivated.

Sb400 Has Been Vetoed!
keenan replied to Christopher's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
How come Corbett isnt going after Playboy ? Isnt putting a cartoon character on the cover peddling soft porn to children. What message is that sending to young girls, dont vape, just take off yer clothes. Before you know it, Betty and Veronica will have a spread. YIKES ! ! ! -
Its not just the veto, it's the REASON Arnold gave that sends the arrow through Corbetts heart !! She really thought she could pull a "holier than thou" bill off and look like the hero, but Arnold made her look like the zero. Lately, Ive been feeling REALLY disgusted with our politicians and system as a whole, but Arnold has instilled a little faith back into me !

I, unfortunatly, still have a few every day. BUT, I've cut down from 3 packs a day to just under 1, and if you ask ANYONE that knows me, we NEVER thought we'd see the day ! I am at the point where the taste of e cigs are WAY better than analogs, and Im confident I will eventually see my last one. Question for you guys, like Sinkal when you tried the Pall Mall, was that your brand when you smoked. Im just wondering if they tasted like crap cause they werent what you used to smoke.
