Another great idea. It's too bad I didn't have my phone ready to snap a quick pic when I popped my head into the house to tell my wife not to throw away any nedicine cups from the kids' liquid medicines...ever. The "WTF" look on her face was priceless.

I told her not to ask questions because not all men are from Mars..I was stealing an idea from an Earthling.

Congrats Tug! I'm about 10 months behind, but I already have no doubt I'll hit that 1 year mark, largely in part because of you and so many others here on VT.

I think I have a few plastic cups (the small ones that restaurants use) that I can use. Not the same as a beaker, but it might just work.

This is when having a spare empty bottle comes in handy. I have a 25ml beaker I keep on hand just for this occasion.

Earthling will be with you shortly

Yes, we're on a 'whole other level', we're just not sure if that's a good or bad thing just yet. Welcome to Vapor Talk.  

Welcome to the nut-house... er... VaporTalk!

Thanks Adversarious1!
 
I said something a while back to a co-worker... and I think it's relevant in this thread...
 
Vaping is to Big Tobacco as the bicycle is to the Big-3 Auto-makers... yeah, think about that...
 
The bicycle is a less harmful mode of transportation, but it is not a threat to the Big-3 because not enough people are trading cars for bikes... BUT, if they DID?  Politicians would be in a panic... no more gasoline taxes, no more registration fees and taxes, no more property taxes... auto sales would be through the floor, politicians wouldn't be getting their kick-backs and lobby money...  Suddenly, there would be a huge push to impose higher taxes on bicycles, registration of bicycles, licensing of bicycles, odometers on bicycles (so they could tax you on the miles), charging for parking of bicycles, fees for transfer-of-ownership of bicycles....
 
It may not happen in the US, but it has (to some degree) in other countries... bicycles, scooters, motorcycles... all are a threat to the economic wealth (for state/local/federal governments), and the moment they cut into those profits... taxes, fees, regulation goes into effect!  It's NEVER about public health, or the health of the individual, or individual choice... it's always... ALWAYS... about the MONEY!
 
A few years ago, vaping was considered a "fad"... a small niche market... but now that more and more people are dropping analogs in favor of vaping, we've peed in the Cheerios of Big Tobacco AND government... which is why we're the target we are today.  If everyone in the country parked their car, never bought a new one, and decided to ride a bicycle every day... you better believe bicycles would be produced by Ford, GM, and Chrysler, and they'd have huge fees/taxes/registrations, we'd have to have a bicycle license, and the newest 2-wheeler from Ford would likely cost $8,000 (because it would come with gov't mandated seat-belt and air-bags, a 6-speaker JBL stereo, and back-up camera (as an option, of course)!  Huffy and Schwinn would be pushed out of the market because they'd not meet new "safety standards"...
 
It gripes my rear-end knowing that my neighbor over-paid for a Prius and gets a gov't pat-on-the-back in the way of tax incentives for getting 40mpg in their hybrid... yet I ride a motorcycle that produces less pollution (smaller engine), causes less damage to road surfaces, and gets 50% more MPG!  Where's my tax incentive??  Oh, that's right... it's not an AUTO...

Ever think about running for office? You are the kind of people this country needs... and I'm not even going to insult you by calling you a "politician". 

I ordered one of my favorite Stout/Porters for my Kegorator Im waiting to tap it to try with the PFPB :thumbup:

Okay, I'll step back onto my soap-box....
 
That's the problem... politicians "expect" that money to be rolling in, and they spend it years before it actually shows up (and rarely does these days because over half the country is unemployed or under-employed).  The tobacco settlements were supposed to go for "public health initiatives", but our politicians have played the shell-game and spent 80-90% of the expected money on other things... because it was never about "public health", it was about the MONEY... now they are panicked because people are doing what they wanted them to do... stop smoking... and now their cash-cow of sin-taxes and settlement checks is dying.... and states are poised to default on loans, bonds, and other unpaid projects.
 
Politicians want vaping to be classified as "tobacco products" so they can get a win-win... 1) sin-taxes on the e-liquids and gear, and 2) by classifying vaping as a tobacco product, they can hold Big Tobacco hostage by forcing them to pay-up even more on the settlement agreement.
 
Big Tobacco is forced to push more money to the states this way... which is why they (as an Oligopoly, a legal monopoly) are strong-arming politicians to pass laws to outlaw vaping or at least pass the sunset clause to make all vaping gear but THEIR e-cigs illegal... then they can have the lion's share of the market (to make-up for their losses in analog sales, and provide what the states "expect" them to pay, per settlement agreements). 
 
It doesn't take a Master's Degree in Economics to figure this crap out!  And, I'm sick and tired of our government spending money they don't have (and then raising taxes or creating new taxes to cover their over-spending).  It's a never-ending cycle!  Now, if you or I write a check for a $200,000 home (without any money in the bank) and try to use the excuse that "Well, I've got a plan to hit the lottery, so the money will be there in a few weeks"... and see how that flies!  But, this is exactly what our government is doing DAILY!
 
I am 100% against any sin-taxes on e-cigs, e-liquid, or hardware.  I am 100% against any politician who pushes for such laws or taxes.  Politicians like the one in the video should be out of a job tomorrow, IMO!
 
Big Tobacco is threatened by vaping.  I say let them be threatened... let the free-market run them out of business, or at least reduce them to a minor force in the economy.  But this is not going to happen until "We The People" stand up for our rights and our freedoms... reduce the economic strangle-hold our government has on us... and return our country to the free-market society that allowed us to prosper decades ago.
 
Our government/politicians need to be required to take a few Economics courses... then they'd realize that lower taxes (and fewer things taxed/regulated) will evolve a stronger economy (more jobs, more sales, better salaries), which will in turn provide more raw-dollars flowing into the economy, and thus into the government coffers.  Basic math is a strange concept to our government... I would much rather have 1% of $1M, rather than 75% of $10,000!  We cannot keep this pace of tax/spend any longer!  Pretty soon the only ones with jobs in this country will be government employees... and without US to provide their income, how will they get paid??
 
Vaping -vs- Big Tobacco is bringing the disparity and hypocrisy of our government's spending policies to light, and we must win!  If we don't win this battle, then the war is lost for everyone (not just vapers)....
 
[steps off soapbox]

Good Evening Everyone......
 
Just got home from work Poured a Stout,now deciding what too vape

It's not true, the average IQ in the US is not slowly going down. From what I see in basic skills test scores, it's happening very quickly.

Gender neutral? Don't know 'bout that. But I own about 10 of these little babies. I always buy in pairs and I use a Sharpie to mark them, so I have 5 sets labeled 1a/1b through 5a/5b. I have 4 that are devoted to my mech mod and 6 devoted to my Sigelei. I keep track of rotation and I alternate the positions of 'a' and 'b' n both my charger and my Sigelei. But then...I'm a little anal when it comes to things like that. [emoji15]

tiffany blue seems to be the new hot color if you cant find a pink unit.  its also a gender neutral color so you can use it from time to time

The Samsung 25r is the best battery on the market ATM IMO

I understand what you are saying,and "cheap" is a dirty word around here.  Inexpensive is not.  I see VapeNW has the cloupor mini for 29.99, but unless you own an 18650 charger and extra batteries, you are back up to the price of your iStick 50W. 
 
IMO the best batteries on the market are those @willblack posted they are Samsung 25R batteries.
