    One of them (or maybe 2?) that I've purchased from do. I forget offhand which ones, because I gave the cards away, but I thought it was way cool that they did that on the back of their card. I agree with you, wish more would include info on their cards too.
    My kid wants BC's to hand out to the curious travellers, But I keep forgetting to get them from the vendors So, with that said, I'd like to let out a big hollar to all the vendors: 'Please include a checkbox and an amount selection during checkout "Would you like extra bc's? Select how many". pleasepleaseplease

    you're welcome! This one sure helped me, especially with the extracting the extra after refilling.
    I don''t know how he manages to stay so dry though... after my first try and hands sopping wet from just looking at the ejuice, I tore out the surgical gloves. I'd like to pass along the surgical gloves safety tip for others who are about to venture into refilling their own,

    Uma reacted to ThaHodgehound in Stupidest Question Ever   
    People new to vaping want fast answers not sift through a bunch of videos! That why we are here on this forum! We answer their basic questions not send them on a wild goose hunt. We try to explain this to everyone in terms they can understand. This is exactly what turns people off to so many forums! People telling them to go search for anything! If you want them to see something SEND THEM A LINK TO IT! Don't make them look blindly for it. Remember, these people are new and may not understand the lingo or know how to do a specific search. Everyone is not computer savy and to take the route of telling them to go look for something IS NOT the way we do things here at Vapor Talk. We are here to help new members as much as we can, but telling them to go looking for something they may not truly understand in the first place is just wrong.

    Uma reacted to FTJoe in Propsed High-School Principal Speech   
    Got this in my e-mail


    The speech every American high-school principal should give.



    (If every high-school principal gave this speech at the beginning of the next school year, America would be a better place.)


    To the students and faculty of our high school:

    I am your new principal, and honored to be so. There is no greater calling than to teach young people.

    I would like to apprise you of some important changes coming to our school. I am making these changes, because I am convinced that most of the ideas that have dominated public education in America have worked against you, against your teachers, and against our country.

    First, this school will no longer honor race or ethnicity. I could not care less if your racial makeup is black, brown, red, yellow, or white. I could not care less if your origins are African, Latin American, Asian, or European, or if your ancestors arrived here on the Mayflower or on slave ships.

    The only identity I care about, the only one this school will recognize, is your individual identity — your character, your scholarship, your humanity. And the only national identity this school will care about is American. This is an American public school, and American public schools were created to make better Americans.

    If you wish to affirm an ethnic, racial, or religious identity through school, you will have to go elsewhere. We will end all ethnicity-, race-, and non-American-nationality-based celebrations. They undermine the motto of America, one of its three central values — e pluribus unum, “from many, one.” And this school will be guided by America’s values.

    That includes all after-school clubs. I will not authorize clubs that divide students based on any identities. This includes race, language, religion, sexual orientation, or whatever else may become in vogue in a society divided by political correctness.

    Your clubs will be based on interests and passions, not blood, ethnic, racial, or other physically defined ties. Those clubs just cultivate narcissism — an unhealthy preoccupation with the self — while the purpose of education is to get you to think beyond yourself. So we will have clubs that transport you to the wonders and glories of art, music, astronomy, languages you do not already speak, carpentry, and more. If the only extracurricular activities you can imagine being interested in are those based on ethnic or racial or sexual identity, that means that little outside of yourself really interests you.

    Second, I am uninterested in whether English is your native language. My only interest in terms of language is that you leave this school speaking and writing English as fluently as possible. The English language has united America’s citizens for more than 200 years, and it will unite us at this school. It is one of the indispensible reasons this country of immigrants has always come to be one country. And if you leave this school without excellent English-language skills, I will have been remiss in my duty to ensure that you are prepared to compete successfully in the American job market. We will learn other languages here — it is deplorable that most Americans only speak English — but if you want classes taught in your native language, rather than in English, this is not your school.

    Third, because I regard learning as a sacred endeavor, everything in this school will reflect learning’s elevated status. This means, among other things, that you and your teachers will dress accordingly. Many people in our society dress more formally for a meal at a nice restaurant than they do for church or school. These people have their priorities backwards. Therefore, there will be a formal dress code at this school.

    Fourth, no obscene language will be tolerated anywhere on this school’s property — whether in class, in the hallways, or at athletic events. If you can’t speak without using the F-word, you can’t speak. By obscene language I mean the words banned by the Federal Communications Commission, plus epithets such as the N-word, even when used by one black student to address another, or “*****,” even when addressed by a girl to a girlfriend. It is my intent that by the time you leave this school, you will be among the few of your age to distinguish instinctively between the elevated and the degraded, the holy, and the obscene.

    Fifth, we will end all self-esteem programs. In this school self-esteem will be attained in only one way (the way people attained it until the state of California decided otherwise a generation ago) — by earning it. One immediate consequence is that there will be one valedictorian, not eight.

    Sixth, and last, I am re-orienting the school toward academics and away from politics and propaganda. No more time will be devoted to scaring you about smoking and caffeine, or terrifying you about sexual harassment or global warming. No more semesters will be devoted to condom-wearing and teaching you to regard sexual relations as only or primarily a health issue. There will be no more attempts to convince you that you are a victim, because you are not white, or not male, or not heterosexual, or not Christian. We will have failed if any one of you graduates from this school and does not consider him or herself inordinately lucky — to be alive and to be an American.

    Now, please stand and join me in the Pledge of Allegiance to the flag of our country. As many of you do not know the words, your teachers will hand them out to you.

    Uma got a reaction from Schizophretard in Pay It Forward   
    What a wonderful idea for a contest! I'm so glad I peeped in when I did.
    But I can't choose just one either. This is tooooo hard.
    Nana, DDaveLarsen, Schitzophretard, Brian, and so many others not only welcomed me when I first came, but they walked right beside me as I learned the curves and chose my path. This is the best forum I've ever visited and it's all because of all of the posters who walk the hallways here. Brian, Brandon, Mark, Jeffb, Dr.J, PTJoe, Nana, DDave, Schitzoph, .... and so on until my fingers bleed from all the typing.

    ddavelarsen told me "Don't try to quit smoking, just start vaping and see what happens. You'll be pleasantly surprised."
    That is what truely inspired me into making the financial leap into this new world of vaping. He was right. I relaxed into it, I found the right for me ecig, and I definitely was pleasantly surprised to discover that I had literally quit smoking tobacco. Me!! (faint!) Then there's those beautiful letters he's written in numerous newspaper forums, and to state officials. Plus there's never a day that he's not welcoming and helping others. Overall, I have to give it to Dave. Dave is a real hero and it's about time I stood up and said so! Thanks for the opportunity Mark and Chris. Dang your PV's are awesome Mark!

    To Christopher and fellow members of Vaportalk.In light of the recent news that the NY senate is in the works or rather has banned the sales of our beloved Ecigs. I simply ask this of Chris..PLEASE, for all that is good in this world. Let NOTHING happen to this site.Since coming here several days ago,this is my number 2 site that I come to on a daily basis.It's first,Broncosforums.com so that I can keep track of my favorite football team and then over here to vaportalk.This is ONE HELL of a website and I get nervous that the ecig business will slowly begin to fall into despair as this thing happening in NY is not going to stop. How they can deem it worthy of banning sales for is just beyond me. My wife who absolutely despises me smoking analogs and who has spent many a night crying and pleading with me to please quit so that we can live a long and happy life together, now sits on the couch with me watching movies as I vape away like no tomorrow. A goofy grin on her face whenever she sees the little blue LED. She knows that I enjoy smoking and that it has become a part of my daily life,but now...I am making moves to better my health in a positive,alternative way. I will never bash smokers for smoking, It's just something that I choose not to do anymore. Im a vaper and proud of it.

    So, my main point is this. This website is such a vast source of knowledge for all of us and I just ask that we all stick together on this.Smoking is something that brings people together. I don't know how often I would smoke outside my favorite restaurant and just meet a damn cool person because we lit up a smoke and had a great talk.Whether you are an analog smoker or now a vaper, We are all a fellowship because we all understand the health concerns,the joys, and the pains in the ***'s of smoking.If it came down to the point where Christopher had to charge a monthly fee in order to keep this site up because the sales became suddenly shut off or whatever methods are used to keep the site up fell through.I would GLADLY pay it and I would like to think that Im not the only one alone on that mentality.

    Thats all, sorry for the rant all. Im just so fired up right now, but on the flip side. Im so thankful that Ive a place to go where folks understand what I am going through. Thanks Chris,all moderators and fellow posters for this site. It's seriously like therapy for me.

    Vivid and real Juxtoposition on youtube:
    1. FDA celebrating passing the bill that bans ecigs from minors.
    2. Minors youtubing their failed attempts at quitting real cigarettes.
    3. The minors videos are in the line-up on the FDA's video page.

    That's real. That's life.... errrrr..death.
    The FDA has no business restricting anybody, minor or major, from quitting tobacco products. They are playing with our future taxpayers lives. Shoot, they are already taxpayers.

    egads with a tripple grrrrrrrr.

    You know, I almost hate to state this out loud, and I probably shouldn't, and if you all think I shouldn't, then feel free to delete this. But, I was just thinking that if a minor makes a concious decision to start vaping and a conceious decision to start vaping nicotine, then the eCig is the ONLY device known to man that will actually allow this same person (minor or major) to make a concious decision to vape 0 nicotine and wean his/her addicted hiney back off of their addiction. Try that with real cigs. Been there, done that. This whole clause/war/fright/propaganda/ stinks. And they're using the kids to spank the adults anyway. Shame on them!!!!!!! They are nothing but a legalized hate group. They're literally trying to kill us.

    Here's what I sent to this joker:
    Doctor,
    Your ridiculous comments about safer smoking alternatives are unbelievable. Based on the comments to your YouTube video, these comments did not fall on deaf ears. For a medical doctor to not only ignore but to bash a potentially lifesaving product to promote one’s own agenda is the worst form of carelessness.
    You have not provided any medical or scientific evidence to back up any of your negative comments about e-cigarettes. Where are the studies that say free base nicotine is any more harmful than caffeine? Where is the evidence that the harmful side effects of cocaine can in any way be associated with nicotine addiction? Point me to one study that concludes that electronic cigarettes are even remotely as harmful to one’s health as tobacco.
    As you have refused to do your homework and recognize electronic cigarettes as a safer alternative to smoking, I would challenge you to defend your position in an open forum. I would be please to debate you on the subject publicly via the internet. If you feel so strongly about your position, then I would expect you have no problem in defending it. You pick the time and I will provide the place.
    Respectfully,
    Dr. John M. Hester
