    At those levels I don't expect a meltdown.. If it tastes bunt, turn it down, if it don't ...crank that **** up till it does...then turn it down....find your sweet spot, and forget the numbers.....

    spydre reacted to bcartervol98 in Just a thought on the whole FDA possibility thing   
    I am not as worried as I once was. I think this will devolve from such tight restrictions to basically a tax. Yes it may cost a little more, but I cannot see a way for them to regulate flavors. How is that enforced? Wouldnt companies just rename their products with tobacco in the name if "only tobacco flavors" are allowed anyway? "Unicorn Tobacco", Dragon Tear Tobacco, Strawberry Fields Tobacco: etc...? Since the product contains 0 tobacco, the taste is the only determining factor and everyone knows the taste of any "tobacco" liquid is subjective. It may taste like tobacco to one and like caramel to another. Or Maple Syrup like a few I have tried.

    In the end this is going to be two things imo

    1. A tax on the products
    2. Banning the sale to minors (which possibly might make online vendors have a solid age verification system)

    I believe that is truly all that happens. I cannot see any regulations that attempt to call a product a "tobacco product" when it contains 0 tobacco standing the test of court challenges. I also cannot see a ban of flavors surviving the same, since the law banning flavored cigarettes applies to tobacco products only. How could it apply to something that contains no tobacco? It would be like trying to make a 16oz bottle of Coca Cola a 21 and older product because sometimes people mix a little Makers Mark or Jack Daniels with it. Maybe not a strong analogy but along the same lines.

    Can you use your own drip tips with the KPT2 and the mini KPT2?

    The mini is tiny, and one of the lower capacity tanks on the market. It holds less than CE4s which I always thought were tiny and is a full 1ml less then the T3S or the KPT 2. With the Davide Mini it holds 2ml but is NOWHERE near as sturdily built as the KPT2. I loved them for a long time but quickly developed the opinion the KPT 2 is a far superior product when it comes to filling, sturdiness, and how well they are designed.

    Those are Davide Minis. I have 8 of them too, but they are in a drawer only used for those "every once in a while flavors". Once I started using the KPT2 I haven't looked back. Everyone likes something different, but at this point the KPT 2 rules the roost. A month from now who knows. I also am noticing I am going through a LOT less coils than when I used the Mini Davides. I would start to get a burned taste after 2-3 tanks of Endless Summer in my Davide Minis and now with the KPT2, even with .5ml higher capacity, I am on my 7th tank of Endless Summer. Matter of fact, since I got in my other 4 KPT2s I haven't changed a coil since the first fill up.

    I am convinced from capacity, ease of filling, and overall sturdiness and engineering the KPT2 is the best tank I have used to date. I wish my wife would take the Davide Minis and start using them but she is married to the T3S so I have to keep her a separate batch of coils. But then again, I still have to fill her tanks for here and the Davide Minis are a PAIN to fill. I used them for months and never got used to it. My getting over filling them is what made me grab my KPT2 and start using it again, and once I did, I realized that was the move.

    Currently I have four Davide minis with OrangeZilla, Strawberry Fields, Mojito and Feels Like a Nut in them. Two Kanger Pro Tank 2 with Apple Pie and a mix of peppermint and blueberry. There are two more with HH.357 atomizers for direct dripping. When I'm not driving around I stay with direct drip as that's where the flavor truly shines. The Davide minis come close but not quite there.

    OK, just so I have it straight. As long as my vendor does not send me old stock she is trying to get rid of and I do get the NEW EVOD coils they will work in the Pro Tank, Pro Tank 2, Mini Pro Tank 2, Davide and Davide mini. And the regular Pro Tank coils also fit all the above. I think that is what happened. I bought 2 EVOD kits that were ON SALE with 5 extra coils thrown in each one. I think I bought old stock. I wish my mother would have never taught me to bargain hunt, it gets me in the most terrible fixes and in the long run I'm not saving any money at all.

    Many of the people I sold fluid to when I had my b&M store including my self know better. I'm not going press the point except my blood tester tells me otherwise. That is not to say that it will effect all diabetics the same way just depends on the severity of diabetes and the materialism of the diabetic. I control mine with diet, no meds. I have a friend that vapes and he spiked 60 points after a few moments of vaping. I personaly see only 5-10 point spike when I vape and I'm a chain vaper.

    Considering I've been using my eGo starter stick batteries for the last week and a half, I'm sure I will. It has some bells and whistles that my Zmax didn't have (Version 5 of the Zmax does, but as you can follow in this thread, I determined that going with Zmax again, with the button issue STILL being an issue on V5, I didn't want to go down that road again), so I'll have fun playing with that today, I think. I can't wait for the mail to get here!

    That's exactly what it was Spydre. The fourth time it did it I heard the battery shift like it fell down a tiny bit. I stretched the spring and now with more tension it seems to be all good. I guess over time the spring can compress and create this issue. Pretty sure it's fixed.

    She is wrong! You can buy cigarettes, pipe tobacco and cigars online. Those companies that sell online have to follow state import and international customs laws along with age verification. Also you still have to pay your state tax if you order from a company in your state. If you order from another state you might receive a tax bill from your home state (Jenkins Act).

    As I am typing this...I see how we are all going to get hit on tobacco tax.

    why not just get yourself a vision spinner online and buy your blu cartridges from blu? But you will eventually get the burnt taste if you let the cartridge run try. Besides I thought I read in a previous post you thought they changed their flavors on you and it too now taste like crap. Medically it sounds like you have some issues that no vender or vape gear can fix, maybe get checked for some allergy's. By continued smoking the cigarettes this is most likely contributing to your taste bud acting up problem versus your e juice. A script for a sedative may help ease your nerves until your mail arrives. My motto is to treat others the way I would want to be treated and my guess here is that you are being a bully to all venders due to some perceived wrong of few bad apples which really is not fair. Guess the one guy that you like because he gives you tons of freebees when you complain is not doing you any favors because you are learning to bully others thinking you will get a discount from the vender that did not get your order out pronto. We all have to wait our turn sir. i might have placed my order at 8 am with same vender but I would not have the expectation that the order would even go out until Monday period. As has been stated your expectation of the thing ordered on Friday going out that same day when you did not even get your order in until 200 pm is unrealistic. good luck with whatever new products you try and I hope you find something that meets your expectations.

    I have never ordered anything from anywhere that took longer than 4-5 business days to arrive using the cheapest shipping option.

    Someone has some pretty unrealistic expectations to expect credit for an order not shipping when ordered on a Friday afternoon. Sorry for being so frank, but being in business it reminds me of the person that negotiated on a car for 2 weeks then complain we cannot process the credit submission, wait for approval, and process all the paperwork in 5 minutes.

    Oh dear. I had a larger response mostly typed out, however, I had to go to bed, and Firefox crashed on me. And for some reason it wouldn't bring up my auto-saved response from last night. I've tried a BUNCH of RY4's, and Holy Grail RY4 from Vapor Beast is the only one I've liked remotely. I get that and Kick Ash Tobacco from there, but they are among the most popular juices (Kick Ash is the highest seller), and they are a smaller outfit. I'm planning on writing a supplier review, probably after I get back from the doctor today to go into the um, quirks with this supplier. But, Vapor Beast does not have sample packs, and it only has two sizes, 15 and 30 ml. The Holy Grail RY4 your best bet to get the the holy grail is to order it early in the week, as they get their shipments at the end of the week, so generally, Monday is your best bet for ordering it. (I'll go into reasons why when I do my supplier review - which will focus on the juice end of their operations).


    Okay, that sounds really, really dirty.

    If you are looking for a maple with color, I would recommend a Japanese maple. We have two. Well, one was an accident, truly. The seeds took root and grew there. We've had a couple of trees do that. Anyway, beautiful red leaves throughout the yesr, though slightly different from the traditional maple shaped leaves. Ours are still youngish yet, so I don't know how big they'll get. Unfortunately, we are going to have to cut the older one down. Someone intentionally planted it right next to the house, where the roots will compromise the stone foundation. Or maybe when we get the fence extended, we'll have room to transplant it, unlike the Bradford Pear that the last tenant planted under a power line, and now the foliage SURROUNDS the power line, but we will have to get THAT one professionally removed.

    I'm working on a longer response about the RY4, but that's downstairs, but it will be up in the morning, hopefully.
