    NICE... Keenan, I also love F.T. And would vote for him in a heartbeat.... We may again have a chance ! I think, now was not the time for him.... A true conservative is usually the one elected after a liberal regime, and visa versa..... History has proven that time and time again.

    FTJoe, again, great points ! Call me a simpleton (My wife does !) but I try to make judgments based on what is to me obvious common sense (Again debatable with me !). Lets face it, you can show me articles and polls "Proving" your point ... And so can I ! The proof is always in the pudd'n. Corruption, Government and Business are synonymous. And that statement is even more true, with greater government power..... Name your favorite dictator ! So I guess what I'm saying is that, simply put, money and power breeds corruption... Always has, always will. So asking the government to save us from the evil bred is like asking the fox to guard the chicken coup ! Yes, we, the little guy suffer the consequences of "Their" actions ! Our only hope is that sometimes "We" can tell the difference between the fox and the chicken !

    I must say it is so refreshing to have an honest, mature discussion with "Grown-ups"....... I LOVE YOU'S GUY'S !!!!!!!!!!!

    Valid points all FTJoe ! But I do really believe that there is a very sharp edge between freedom and Gov't protection... I think we are a lot better off with big brother saying out of it. I have never seen them "Fix" anything. Protection turns into control and THAT definitely "Trickles" down.

    There have been 3 major market "Crashes" in our history. The one in '29 was met by massive gov't intervention and lasted for more than a decade... The one in '87, which was actually bigger, was left alone and brought about a very shallow recession and a minor, short term drop in unemployment.... This one, 2008, once again massive intervention (Bush and Obama), and by most accounts is expected to last a decade as well.

    I certainly never meant to imply that the government, using our tax dollars, should bail anything out ! If it is to fail it should fail ! There is always a next in line to fill the void..... and often better.

    As far as adding multiple candidates onto a ballot, again, we end up with a non-majority (Maybe only 35%...or less) victor. Remember the Bush/Clinton election. The Ross Perot effect... Clinton won with only 37% of the vote.... Is satisfying only 1/3 of the electorate really the answer ?

    Unfortunately the electoral college is still necessary, otherwise Presidential elections would be decided by Los Angeles, New York, Boston and Chicago.... And though one political stripe would relish that, the rest of the country would be left without a voice.

    This is America ! And you make a profound point that, as a taxpayer, you have paid the price to bit#$.... I concede the point, you don't have to vote ! However, many Brave men and women have died (In just wars... or not) believing in that basic right. So I would offer that maybe just entering the booth and writing in "Bozo the Clown" would still honor their sacrifice !!!

    Apathy, then anarchy. Mark my words. No one even wants to hear my rants anymore about the gov, banks, the fed because the 401Ks are al coming back, everyone says things are fine so they must be. Hahaha, Goldman Sachs is large and in charge. I might even start voting just for the heck of it. I stopped when I realized they were all liars and I didn't like the idea of voting for the lesser of two evils and they really don't mean what they say. Guess how long ago that was. The two party system stinks. Hmmm, maybe this is a rant? ;-)

    The Guinness discussion is much more rewarding!!!!

    Voting is our ultimate right.... It's our ticket to bi#$^ ! And yes, sometimes we are left with the choice of lessor/greater evils but if we don't choose we end up with the latter !!

    The problem with a third or forth (And so on) party is that we end up with a leader elected by 1/3 or less of the voters...... Then, literally, no one is happy. The debate becomes watered down so far that you end up voting for someone on maybe just one issue !

    As far as the Goldman Sach' of the world, they are the engine that makes the whole thing run. Yes, we are the fuel, but without a place to work we have nothing. Employment comes through investment. It doesn't matter whether it's a large, medium or small business. Even our beloved e-cig suppler entrepreneurs get their "Product" and or raw materials form a large company (Chinese or not).

    Every "System" throughout history has a ruling class and an underclass.... and always will. What has made America great was the creation of the before unknown "Middle" class... which makes up the bulk of our citizens. Look around yourself.... computer, big screen, microwave, ipod, cellphone, multiple cars........... Need I say more ! Even our "Downtrodden" are wealthier than most of the rest of the world !! Thank you "Evil Conglomerates" !!!

    As Gordon Gecko once said "Greed works" ! These conglomerates, though sometimes "Evil" are a necessary one. The real mistake we have made is that rather than speaking loudly against the worst of these with our pocketbooks, we have asked the government to "Protect" us and thus handing over the power.

    Someone once said that "Freedom is dangerous"..... We have to protect ourselves from "Snake oil salesmen".

    SORRY ! Did I just say that out loud ?

    Gold Band Joye 510 Atty

    Thanks guys for the great reply's (AHHH, poetry) ! I think I will try just blowing them clear occasionally and keep vaping till they quit.

    I was also vaping some coffee flavored juice that was pretty thick and really dark. I think that may have had an adverse effect. I'm on a new atty now that has been working for a few days without clogging (Gummed up, not the wooden shoe dance)...... We'll see how long it lasts.

    Christopher, do you stock the gold band because you think they perform better, have a longer life or look cooler ?!?!?!?!?

    I'm looking for a clarification and or reviews of the "Gold Band" joye 510 atty. Is this a better atty with possible longer life ?

    I am a pretty heavy dripper at 3.7v and I seem do be burning through Standard joye 510 attys in about a week. Whether I clean them or not. My cleaning process is putting them in hot (Just under boiling) water for about an hour and then draining them overnight. About half never come back !

    I have heard rumblings that the gold bands perform better and last longer.

    Le'me have it VT vapors !!!

    What Kind Of Vaper Are You?

    Nana, I smoked 10-15 cigs a day and now I vape constantly !!!! I love the taste..... Soooooo many flavors, so little time ! I very often spend the whole day in my work truck, I have my mod plugged in and vape the day away. When I get home I vape the evening away.... I know, I know... "Get a life" ! Oh, well.

    Welcome Theaxiom to the VTF... I'm so glad you found it as the info really saved you. I started with a blu and was sorely disappointed. I will say however that they did return my money when I sent it back after more than 30 days. The real mistake I made was not coming here first ! These folks are very helpful and really know their stuff. The 510 sounds like the definitive starter. I think it will get you going. Be sure to get some spare attys and juice !
