@ Speakeasy You hit the nail on the head, I couldnt agree more. I honestly believe that Obama will sign this bill solely for the glory, not because he believes in it. I would lay a bet MOST signers of this bill havent read it, and just want thier names on it because it will be a historical moment. They have NO idea that it may very well be a piece of history we would all like to forget once we adopt it.

Welcome Lori ! Glad to have you on VaporTalk, and, unfortunatley, I cant answer your question as I dont have a cartomizer. But, Im going to move this post to the section where I am SURE some other members may be able to help ! Good luck, and Merry Christmas to you too !

I agree Elem, but to take it a step further, I believe what we are witnessing is the "Europeanisation of America". All of these sweeping changes to our society, culture, and form of Government , are a transition to the way Europe is being run. Sort of a quasi-socialistic/democratic from of govt. It DOESNT work there, why do these people think it will work here ? Every time you turn around, some European country is changing leaders, or system, or something. We need to go BACK to what our founding fathers had in mind, and stop straying away from it.

Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy Festivus for the rest of us !

Merry Christmas, everyone.

Keep it goin Tiki ! It only gets better with time !

'Twas the night before Christmas And on Vapor Talk A member was lurking, you might even say stalk He wasnt a troller, or spammer, or geek A professional bowler ? No, that would be weak He was merely a poster, we'd all seen before Who liked to hang out at the Vapor Talk Store Exotic Tobacco ? Dulcis ? Midnight ? The choices were there, overwhelming with fright And Chris, the store tender, would stand there and watch As the mystery member would oogle the lots For hours and hours as time ticked away He'd click on the flavors, but never on "pay" And Chris, ever patient, would stand there and smile As fast as he entered, he'd exit But why? Its not that he didnt intend to invest In the woozles and wazzles of grape flavored sets It seems that he already had quite a stash Of bottles of Vapor Talks Heavenly Hash And sure as the sun will soon set on horizons His wife wouldve beaned him, for thinkin of buyin So this week, and sadly, he'd have to just gander And spend his payola on pooh bears and pandas But next week is coming, and quick as a wink He's sure to log on and to click on the link That always invites him to grin such a grin Youd think he was 9 years old, maybe just ten So to Chris, Smoking Man, and to Brian and Stu To Nana, To Sinikal, Vegas and Gazoo JeffB and The Green, to Gdub and LordVapor Ofortuna ( My favorite VaporTalk Vaper ! ) Merry Christmas to all, and to those Ive forgotten Dont take it too hard, Im old, my brains shot MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE !

@ Seaspine Your story is EXACTLY the same as mine. I worked for a great co. for 13 years, and when the economy tanked, there went my job. I too, have diabetes, and have had 3 heart attacks. My wife has health issues. We have both worked ALL of our lives. My wife is on SSDI, and her "share of cost" for Medicaid is over 2/3rds of her check. Our next door neighbor, who we have known for 20 years, is "disabled". He pays NOTHING for his medical. Nada. He has not worked a DAY since we've known him. He DOES, however, play golf 3 times a week. His 20 year old son has NEVER worked a day in his life, and gets free medical, food stamps, and brags about it. We dont qualify for food stamps.I dont qualify for Medicaid. I make too much on unemployment. Go figure. Ive been to a bazillion job interviews, and had the same response as you. If I take a part time job, I'd make less than I do on unemployment. I dont know what happened to the American Dream. Im living the American Nightmare.

I am appalled beyond words that this was allowed to happen. The link isnt working, but evidently an atheist in Sonoma County, California, requested the angel atop a Christmas tree at a Govt. Building be taken down because he finds it offensive. REALLY ! Why, oh WHY did they find it necessary to appease this dillweed and take it down ? Now, I absolutely dont want to offend ANYONE unnecessarily, but PUHLEEEEZE !!! This spankapotamus is ALSO petitioning to have a cross taken down at an accident site that the family put up as a memorial. This political correctness BS has gone too friggin far. Go to Fox news and read this and tell me what you guys think. Am I the only one that wants to give this clown an atomic wedgie, I really wanna know.

Shel, Im pretty sure it will go away, once your throat gets used to this new sensation your hitting it with. I had the same problem at first, but the awesome flavor made me just tough it out and it went away. I also found out last week, I got my first cold of the season, and vaping does not mix well at all if you have a bug. I couldnt take the slightest hit without hacking up a lung oyster. It was REALLY frustrating, cause I so wanted to vape. I think if you give it time, it will go away. JMHO

Now, THIS looks like fun !!! http://video.yahoo.com/watch/5741391/15038418

@ Gazoo -I have ALWAYS said that , I am a Parent, Not a Friend. I believe that is VERY important. You were right, you and I DO think a lot alike !

EXCELLENT Skwerl ! Posted my comment. Remember guys, keep it clean and to the point. Strength in numbers !

This bill, like MANY bills, started out as a good idea with good intentions, and like every bill, turned into a quagmire. The biggest problem I have with this bill, is the ABSOLUTE control the Govt. has over your "choices". This bill should be called " Health Control" instead of HealthCare. It is nothing short of Socialized Medicine. It has been PROVEN that socialized medicine DOESNT work. And, the most IMPORTANT point in all of this, what we MUST hold our Reps accountable for, is IF this is such a great plan, how come THEY are not obliged to sign up for it ? Like Ive always said, if you want to FIX health care, put all the Senators and Congressmen on Private Ins. that THEY have to pay for. Health Care would be remedied toot sweet ! This is like giving the foxes the key to the chicken coop.

Yup, its greedy morons like this who will bring us down. No doubt about it.

But the OLD Bob Newhart show was my favorite. The one with Suzanne Pleshette, and Bob was a Phsycologist. Those were hilarious for its time. Dry humor.

Now, THIS is what WE should be doing in OUR schools ! http://

Gonna move this to the Noobie area. More answers for your question there !

Welcome Navy, I too have a 510, and love it. I also have a Blu, which is very simple to use, but I dont recommend it. It is very unreliable in the vapor and performance areas. Not knowing your father in law, its hard to say which model will be best for him. Id suggest to let him play around with the 510 and see how it goes. Some pre-filled carts might be the way to go with him. Some other members here may have a few suggestions for other models as well. And, like Brian said, you never have to worry about asking questions here, we LOVE to help each other out. Welcome aboard !

Christopher said "Learn what you can here because in no time you'll become an embarrassed. Welcome to the forums " I THINK he meant to say "Ambassador" instead of "embarrassed". The typo King strikes again ! (jk, sir )

ROFLMAO ! Just read it Nana. Wow, I guess I DID miss a few things while I was gone !

LOL ! Albums ! Nana, I know what you mean. I used to have over 500 albums. I STILL think they sound better than CD's. Bob Newharts shows were awesome. And of course, one of my all time favs - Monty Python. Which post are you still cracking up over, I missed about a week here ?

Shel, thats a great question ! People here have MANY stories about vaping in public ! For me, I vape EVERYWHERE. My wife was in the hospital 2 weeks ago, and I vaped right there in the room with her. The nurses and Drs didnt say a WORD to me. The only time Ive been approached was at Wal Mart, an employee thought I was smoking, and when I showed him, he was cool and asked a bunch of questions. Remember, we need to be polite about it, as we are the "ambassadors" of vaping to people not in the know. As for the laws, technically you can vape anywhere, as these are NOT tobacco products and have no combustion. But, If someone asks you NOT to, out of ignorance, its best to appease them. You can try to explain to them how it works, and in MOST cases youll find they understand and want to know more. But, there are some ignorant people out there who just associate it with analogs and dont want to be near them. Let us know your experiences, thats one thing we LOVE to hear about on VT !! Im in Floriduh, by the way.

LOL ! That was great. I remember watching him do that on TV when I was a kid. They just dont make em like they used to. Nowadays, if youre not swearing and cursing, its not comedy. Bull. Remember Bob Newharts skits. They were hilarious too. The Dean Martin Roasts. And I wish SOMEONE would put on a GOOD variety show like Carol Burnett. I think the HARDEST Ive ever laughed in my life was watching Tim Conway crack up Harvey Korman with his Improv !
