Another pub said no on the e cig before I even got through the door. I was taking a drag as I was walking up and a chap was outside smoking. Turned out to be the owner. I did an about face and walked to the pub across the street where they gladly let me vape indoors.

You mentioned seperating "tobacco smoking" from."nicotine use".
At a job interview recently, I was asked if I'd pass a drug test. I said I only use caffeine and nicotine. She assumed I smoke. Nope, I dont even carry a lighter. No burning, no smoke, I'm not a smoker. I'm a vaper.

Changelabsolutions already has many next plans laid out, with the same battle plan they used on smokers, then Vapers.
First is sugar. They call it an obesity plan. Say what? Sugar makes kids hyperactive, gets them off the couch and onto their skateboards and bikes, basketball courts and swimming holes. Sugar makes for skinny, not fat, in a normal metabolism kid.
Next is the Fat, carbs, battle plan. Surprise surprise. Take away smokes, sugar, leaves only chips and dip, which do put on the weight.
All of the above have the same plan, leading to the same excessive taxing.
There is already bullying, shaming, ridicule going on if caught with a cookie, a soda, or a hot dog. The prepping stages, if you will.
It's a hate propaganda, set in motion for an "ideal" world. Sound familiar? Yep, to me too.
Fight these morons wherever you can!!! How dare they bully us, let alone our children, all in the name of "save the children". We all know that "save the cheerleader... ooops, I mean children" slogan is really a "tax 'em high" slogan, as well as a New World Order slogan. IMHO anyway.

Yes, and 'regulation' means 'revenue', so they can buy more votes......... always done under the guise of 'for your own good'.

Much 'woe is us' here. But when you elect people who, themselves, and whose party, just LOVE regulations, well, you get what you wished for.

Press button and suck it

That's the problem with humans. Most of them demand that their way to feel "well being" be the ONLY way.

Most of what keeps my headmates and I content and happy doesn't match a "normal person's" idea of content and happy.

If vaping gets banned, it will not be the first time there is a ban on something that emensely helps one or more members of my system.
There was a recreational that was legal in our state that made switching hugesly easier for us when one of us used it. That substance is now illegal. I'm fearing the day they take caffeine away from us.

... if you enjoy it, somebody wants it illegal.

I've had batteries in other devices fail catastrophically. The worst being large computer UPS units. In both occasions, I put off attending to charger warning lights. One nearly burst, another split, destroyed my floor, and cost me all of my rental deposit. All batteries need to be handled with some intelligence. That goes for everything from e-cigs, to phones, to laptops, to cars.

Anything that is USB and follows USB specifications will output 5v. Using a computer to charge an e-cig should be perfectly fine.
The advice against charging on carpeted or upulstered surfaces is good advice. I dont always follow it though. My ego lays next to me on the bed.
If you drop your e-cig, make sure the battery connector and casing aren't damage before charging. If your charger doesnt light up the way you expect it, dont charge. (ie, if you need to "trick" your charger in to charging your battery, best not to use that battery on that charger).
And always use the right charger!

"Another advantage of changing the goal to smoking cessation is to enable us to meet the needs of smokers with depression, bipolar disorder, or schizophrenia, for whom nicotine is very effective in helping them get through the day far fewer disturbing side effects than their prescription medications. "

This is PRECISELY what drove me to use nicotine!
I, individually, have some issues. Mostly depression and some OCD tendancies. However, the effects of prescriptions on a multiple are WILDLY different than for the general population. (If I were to take meds for my depression, my headmates can't even function, let alone have a meaningful life. So much so, the one who we put in charge banned the use of such medications. This effect is probably due to my headmates not having the condition anti-depressants would treat.)
I don't have that problem with a little nicotine. My nicotine use has had almost no affects on my headmates, yet my depression has become managable.
So... why should I not be allowed to avoid lung cancer?

The ANTZ seem more upset over our habit than of our health. They don't care about health, just money and control.
Beautiful, powerful article!!!

Too funny Lady!!

That word for cigarette cracks me right up, always has.
And the idea of people quitting them just makes it even funnier. "I can't seem to quit you. Don't tell my wife."
Not to mention us LGBTs traveling in packs, like wolves.
(My apologies if anyone is offended by my humor. My childish imagination takes a silly sounding word and runs with it till it trips and puts it's eye out.)

My question for the idiot is...
If you are hiding it, how the bloody hell are you "stinking up the room"?
Antis are so whiny.

Jackpot!

Cool glad you were able to get a replacement.

My cat looks at the vapor coming out of my mouth and is terrified, with a look on her face that leads me to believe she thinks I'm on fire.
So, if I want to pet her, I put the vape down.

You ask some great questions. Like when I received my KPT 2s all of them came with o rings, but I don't even know what to do with them. I know if the time comes and my KPT starts acting up I will ask the group and they will tell me what to do. It is great to have these folks as friends. I'm sorry I can't answer your question but I made sure to follow your post because I want to know the answer to your question. I do that a lot and I learn so much by reading other peoples questions and posts.

Thanks for posting Uma!

Done.

done Thanks UMA!

Well, this one.

done.

...but I don't want to give up vaping.

Done

And you just broke rule number one, and have to start over!!! Ha Ha!!
