Trouble is warning signs usually cannot be acted on. With the freedoms we enjoy in this country usually a crime has to be committed before the police can act. It will remain that way unless we give up some of our rights which I am not willing to do. 

I am sure it is not a secret to anyone not living under a rock that an Islamic jihadist murdered 4 Marines and seriously injured a Naval Officer, a police officer and another Marine yesterday only about 75 miles from my home. Maybe this should be in "Rants" but since its news I am gonna post it here and throw a couple talking points out there.
First what is it in the human condition that could make someone do this? Was it truly "for their religion" or was it something different? I mean in their religion they gain rewards in heaven for the act of killing infidels right? Is that just rhetoric or true? I am not very religious at all and do not understand. Is it mental illness and religion is just a scapegoat? I mean when the guy shot up the Church in South Carolina and the kid in Colorado in the movie theater and I never heard about their religion.
Now I will say what I think the answer is to the above, First I think that 99% of Muslims in America are peace loving people chasing the same dream we all are. Lets talk about the 1% though whom I will refer to as extremists. It is obvious that the extremists see their destiny to be the destruction of freedom and the American dream of true freedom. What they fail to realize is event after event like this only hurts the 99% that are peace loving because lets be frank, we know our enemy is not named "Steve" or "John". Events in the last few years have made me turn my back on my total disdain for profiling to a certain extent. There were signs ignored about this killer and if we have the surveillance capabilities we tout ourselves to have there is no reason he was not at least on the radar after seeing some of his social media and Islamic Extremist blog.
I think these terror groups will prey on others like him, those that have never been in trouble for anything but are looking for meaning and may be depressed or even suicidal and shower them with promises of a better afterlife. Its really kind of scary because I do not think this will be an isolated incident not repeated. The Fort Hood shooting that is still classified as "workplace violence" even though Hassad was yelling Alla Akbar as he was killing US Soldiers on US Soil it is not classified as domestic terrorism and even this federal government says a domestic terror plot is discovered and thwarted an average of every 33 days or something close to that.
The last point I will make about this are these damn "Gun Free Zones". WTF is that about? Do these supposedly intelligent people somehow think men and women in uniform that are trained to handle a weapon should not have one? To me a "Gun Free Zone" is like a HUGE neon sign that says "Hello, welcome, we cannot defend ourselves".
I have tried to support President Obama and his administration since voting for him in 2008 but have steadily lost confidence over the last 7 years and if he wants to do the right thing in the wake of this event, then IMMEDIATELY issue an executive order lifting the Gun Free Zones when dealing with our military bases, recruitment offices and schools. Let those trained to protect us protect themselves.
For any Marines or any other soldier out there I shed a tear for you today.
 

The 2nd Amendment was put in place so we could protect ourselves, and our freedom. It seems like the only people that are allowed the right to keep and bear arms are the nut cases, and the religious fanatics. People refer to the wild west as a violent time in our history, but in fact there was less crime then. When law abiding people are armed the criminals think twice. I never hear about shootings at a NRA convention or any place else where people are armed. Almost always in a so called gun free zone. I will not enter a store that has a gun free zone sign posted, plenty of other places to do business.

Just did a quick inventory, I have 14 KPT coils, 9 KPT3 coils, 11 T3 coils, and 4 subtank RBA heads all rebuilt and ready to go.
 
Just noticed I have a RBA head soaking, looks like I have something to do.

I've probably written more briefs and read through my share of bills than I care to admit. Only in law and politics can the English language become so twisted. 

Personally, I prefer the Pro Tank over my Nautilus mini. The KPT is easy to use, it's inexpensive, the coils are very inexpensive, it just works... and keeps on working. The Nautilus, on the other hand, has more expensive coils, is very difficult to remove the bottom to fill with juice... Just like in everything vaping, it's all subjective but if you want something that keeps working and is dependable, the KPT is very hard to beat. 

I know other people are going to tell you this so I will first. Get a Kanger protank 2 or 3 I prefer the 2 they are workhorses and very dependable.
 
Also get a airflow control for that KPT, they are sold separately.

Around here we highly recommend getting back ups.
And back ups of your back ups.
And back ups of your back up back ups.
Seriously.
Even if you get a few cheap stick batteries like the Evod or Vision Spinners and some Kanger Pro Tanks (versions 2 or 3) and some 1.8 ohm single coils (these will work with the 3 even though they come with dual coil). You can't beat a Kanger Pro Tank (whatever version, full sized or mini) for a good, solid workhorse. They're dependable and very cost effective. Despite all my RDAs and other toys, the KPT tanks are my go-to because I know they just work. 

Can you stand some good news about vaping for a change?

There are a few places that sell premade twisted nickel coils I looked into that. I think I read somewhere that when the nickel gets hot it changes resistance, and that way the temp can be controlled. Kanthal  may not change resistance enough.

Welcome to Vapor Talk!  We are great at this!  I think that is one reason I enjoy it here so much!

When mixing juice you have to pray to the juice god, or your juice might turn out bad.
 
I use a ripe banana from FW and never had a cloudy batch.

With my subtank I used the RBA and some 28G wire and made a 1.8 coil, works really well for MTL hits with the airflow turned down. Only need 12 watts.

I use 60VG 40PG and 15 - 20 % flavor. I use flavor west flavorings and they require a higher % than some other flavorings, so I'm told. Don't know why I'm answering this I smoked for about 50 years so my taste buds are shot.

Or make sure you vape with your off-hand and leave your gun hand free at all times.

Just tried telling wife to go too bedroom she agreed but said its its gonna be a lonley few days

Send her to her room.

I rebuild my KPT coils, recently I bought a subtank mini kit, I ordered 4 extra RBA heads, and a extra tank, and today ordered another subtank kit I couldn't pass up the $49.90 price tag. So right now I have a subtank mini kit two more kits on the way and a extra tank. I should be set for awhile, and its all rebuilbable. Not sure if vaping is cheaper than smoking.

I've been playing with e-cigarettes off an on for a couple of years. I've been smoking for 20 years. I've managed to quit a couple of times only to go right back to it. Started with the cig-a-likes, which only marginally worked for a couple of weeks, then back to smoking. Then I had an evod I would puff on a bit here and there. Took the plunge due to a sale at my vape shop and just got an istick. I think this was the trick, I haven't even wanted to smoke in 2 days and my juice keeps tasting better. Fingers crossed! Trying to convince the hubby to make the switch too! Well, that's my story, brief though it is. Nice to meet you! :)

I get dry hits when I read VT and forget to fill my tank.

3am after a hard night of Partying nothing beats a pile of White Castles

Today I learned that the +side of a battery  looks different than the - side  Now I aint gotta fumble the battery around  looking for that little +- sign
