    Morning
    I'm vaping on some Adam's Apple 6mg in my Nautilus. I've also got a fresh cup of Twinings and some breakfast burritos my wife made. Yum.

    It's amazing how well vaping works. I'd tried the gum, patch and a few other methods and nothing really worked.

    I've been smoke free for 6 months on the 23rd of this month. After smoking since 1972, I never thought I could quit until I talked to my son's fiance and she told me to try vaping...she planted the bug in my ear and then a LEO/MP friend told me the same thing I went to local B&M and haven't looked back.

    Hopefully it'll send them to vaping. I know if vendors switch over to larger bottles and ditch 10,30mls they could offset the increased tax. So not great, but not the end of the world either.

    Boom! Vaping Congrats, time will pass quickly and before you know you'll be 5-10 years smoke free. You'll feel better to in a few more weeks. (Especially going up and down stairs and things of that nature)

    I recently bought my first vaporizer - the Kangertech Subvod-C.  I didn't want to be a cigarette smoker anymore and decided to switch to vaping.  The difference is unbelievable!  I was a 10+ year heavy smoker and just could not find a way to quit or even just to slow down.  
    Once I started vaping, I literally stopped thinking about - and craving - cigarettes.  Vaping is so much more enjoyable, and that's just one benefit amongst so many others.
    For the first time ever, I've been off cigarettes for an extended amount of time (and based on how I'm doing so far, I'm not worried about ever going back to them!).  I am now 3 weeks cig-free.
    See you all in the forums!

    LOL, That's so funny. When I was changing the 3 tanks I have over to top fill I actually started putting the juice in the bottom before it hit me that I was putting it in the wrong in.

    Congratulations on being smoke-free!  I'm 3 weeks clean of analog cigarettes since switching to vaping.  I was a 10+ year seeming lifetime heavy smoker and vaping has definitely saved me from that fate.
    Congratulations to all who have been able to stay away from analog cigarettes for any amount of time!

    So I was thinking, coming up this December marks 8 years smoke free for me. (Time really does fly!) I'll be honest, I did cheat once if I recall in 2009 but other than that I haven't touched a cigarette since. As a pack a day smoker I always assumed I'd probably smoke most of my life.

    Christopher reacted to Tam in Hello all looking for suggestions   
    Just from reading your posts, I can tell you what you didn't like about the Triton (both the version 1 and 2). The airflow would be too restrictive for you. For the most part, the Triton tanks are better for mouth to lung vapers rather than direct lung. That's why I love them so much but it probably won't work as well for you.
    @Earthling789, @Adversarious1, @jasonculp Any of these three guys might have some good recommendations for your style of vaping. They're also very, very good at helping you shop...

    Christopher reacted to Adversarious1 in To hot to hit   
    The SMOK OSUB 80w kit comes with the Brit Beast tank and a .4 ohm Baby Q2 coil installed.  Your wattage should be fine and, in actuality, can likely go a little higher.  
    Double check to make sure you are in wattage mode with that coil, as @Bebop suggested.  If you are, then make sure you aren't inadvertently bumping the wattage up.  
    One last thing that could cause it would be a coil that isn't seated properly (or even just a bad coil).  If it is moving, even slightly, the ohms can jump all over the place which could result in intermittent hot hits.

    From what I understand, (word of mouth only, not confirmation), the tax on liquids is supposed to be in the neighborhood of 67%.  While the tax on analogs is very clearly laid out, there is no mention in the proposition regarding how they will calculate the amount.  It merely states:
    (b) The board shall adopt regulations providing for the implementation of an equivalent tax on electronic cigarettes as that term is defined in subdivision (c) of Section 30121, and the methods for collection of the tax. Such regulations shall include imposition of an equivalent tax on any device intended to be used to deliver aerosolized or vaporized nicotine to the person inhaling from the device when sold separately or as a package; any component, part, or accessory of such a device that is used during the operation of the device, whether sold separately or as a package with such device; and any liquid or substance containing nicotine, whether sold separately or as a package with any device that would allow it to be 7 inhaled. Such regulations may include/ but are not limited to/ defining who is a distributor of electronic cigarettes pursuant to Section 30011 and the licensing requirements of any such person. 
    So...how they came up with that number I don't know, but I'll check my sources.  Reading that tax also seems to infer the tax will be on devices as well, however the same text also specifies 'any liquid or substance containing nicotine', so I'm assuming they won't be taxing 0 nic, (as they shouldn't), and a different part of the proposition seems to state that certain items will be exempt from the tax.  In other words, it's a muddy as hell document most likely written by an attorney and it contradicts itself in multiple places.
    As far as the price adjustments, the taxes don't go into effect until April 1, 2017.  That date is both stated implicitly and explicitly within the full text of Prop 56.
    Implicitly - There are multiple areas within the full text of the proposition that refer to collection of the taxes being effective at 12:01 am on the first day of the first calendar quarter more than 90 days after the effective date of the act.  (Since the effective date of the act is November 9, 2016 and the next calendar quarter begins on January 1, 2017, that would make April 1, 2017 the first day of the first calendar quarter commencing more than 90 days after the effective date of the act.)
    Explicitly - The very last section of the proposition reads: SECTION 10. Effective Date This act shall become effective as provided in Section 10(a) of Article II of the California Constitution; provided, however, the amendment to section 30121 of the Revenue and Taxation Code shall become effective April 1, 2017.  
    As far as purchasing from outside the state there is no mention, but I think that is controlled by a different article of the California constitution.  For instance, while we can cross state lines and purchase tobacco products for personal use, for a vendor to send those same products into the state they may be subject to rules for importing tobacco products as cigarette manufacturers...i.e. the products will need the "California Tobacco Tax Stamp" on the bottom of the container.  That is only speculation on my part, though.  I really don't know how that will be handled at this point.
    My own side note/rant: Yes, this state also just legalized marijuana.  100% for tax reasons and nothing more.  I don't care what anybody says of the "medicinal benefits" it brings.  My agency has sent groups to both Colorado and Washington state to study the impacts of legalized marijuana in those states.  Colorado has reported a rise in unemployment, homelessness and crime since legalizing marijuana.  Washington state has reported a dramatic rise in vehicle collisions where there is serious injury or death and marijuana is suspected to be a major contributor to said collision.
    This is also the same state that just voted to reclassify several felonies as "non-violent" in order to grant parole and release prisoners from prison early.  Believe it or not, that proposition actually received more votes in favor of than the marijuana proposition.  Just goes to show where the heads of the idiots are in this state.  End rant.  I'll get off my soapbox now.  But I hope I've answered a couple of your questions (at least somewhat) @Bebop.
