    Edna reacted to Earthling789 in Well now, surprise, surprise. NOT!   
    Yeah @Walt, I said that tongue-in-cheek, with a hint of sarcasm...  I have full faith that every politician with a vested interest in upholding their cash-cow of tobacco taxes, will fully rebuke this study and tout it as tainted or bias... and sweep it under the rug!  The author of the study will likely be drawn-and-quartered on the capital lawn... or at least fired....
    Which is why I forwarded the link (and text) to my Representatives and Senators at the state and Federal levels, as well as my state Attorney General, local and state Health Departments, and a few hundred of my friends.  CA says breathing causes cancer, so a study from CA that says second-hand vape has NOTHING in it that is harmful (moreso than normal air)... is HUGE info, and must get out there!

    Yeah, all these states that ban vaping (the same as smoking) in public places, outdoor venues, and even in your car (unless you're alone in the car or it's a convertible with the top down)... will need to re-evaluate their logic and reasoning behind such totalitarian edicts that restrict FREEDOM of AMERICAN CITIZENS!

    I read this in a blog called Vaping Post this morning. Thought it quite interesting seeing that it was done in the good ole USA. (I wanted to copy/paste the link and my computer wouldn't cooperate.)
    Air Sampling confirms secondhand vapor is harmless
    Results obtained from an air sample of a small non-ventilated vape shop, clearly indicate that the amount of toxic substances present in the air where a lot of vaping is taking place, are of insignificant levels.
    The California Department of Public Health has been carrying out air sampling in vape shops throughout the state, as part of its initiative to determine the health effects of second-hand vapor exposure.
    Earlier today in his blog, Public Health Expert Dr. Michael Siegel pointed out that the results for this report were obtained from a relatively small and non-ventilated vape shop, where many of the employees and 13 customers were actively vaping while the sampling was taking place, hence what would be considered a situation presenting a high level of exposure to second-hand vapor. However, given all these unfavourable conditions, the results still reported no dangerous levels of exposure to any hazardous chemicals.
    The main results of the air sampling go as follows :
    Nicotine: Not detected Glycidol: Not detected Formaldehyde: 7.2 ppb Diacetyl: Not detected using standard method 2,3-Pentanedione: Not detected using standard method Acetyl butyryl: Not detected using standard method Acetoin: Not detected using standard method Acetone: Not detected Ethyl benzene: Not detected m,p-Xylene: Not detected o-Xylene: Not detected Toluene: Not detected Acetaldehyde: Not detected Acetonitrile: Not detected alpha-pinene: Not detected Benzene: Not detected Chloroform: Not detected d-Limonene: Not detected Methylene chloride: Not detected Methyl methacrylate: Not detected n-Hexane: Not detected Styrene: Not detected Finally putting fears about formaldehyde to rest?
    Dr. Siegel pointed out that the level of formaldehyde detected, is consistent with the levels normally found in indoor and outdoor air levels under baseline conditions, adding that the only other chemicals detected were ethanol (alcohol) and isopropyl alcohol. “This study, although conducted under very high exposure conditions in a small, non-ventilated vape shop with many employees and customers vaping and clouds of vapor visible, did not document any dangerous levels of exposure to any hazardous chemical. Nicotine exposure was essentially non-existent. Formaldehyde exposure was no different than in many indoor and outdoor environments at baseline. Acetone, acetoin, other aldehydes, toluene, benzene, and xylene were not detected. Chemicals that have been associated with “popcorn lung” were also not detected by the standard method.” stated Siegel.
    No justification for governments to ban vaping
    “This study adds to the evidence that under real-life conditions, ‘secondhand vaping’ does not appear to pose any significant health risks.” concluded the public health expert. He added that whilst he himself has been behind many of the smoking bans that took place, based on this current evidence he fails to see a reason as to why governments should ban vaping in public spaces. “With regards to vaping, I just don’t see any reasonable evidence at this time that it poses any significant health hazard to bystanders.”

    Personal preference? That would be the first logo and not the distressed one. Guess I'm old school and don't care for the "distressed, it comes looking like the screen printer had an off day" style.    On t-shirts, how about one with a small logo on the right breast area only?
    I would love to see totes with the logo on one side only. That would get lots of use from me.
    Have you looked into possible vape gear organizers? That with the VT logo might be something to consider? Don't know how many people would be interested, might also do a survey here to see?

    Hi and welcome to VT.
    You can make sure the 510 connection is not stuck down by gently lifting it up with a pin or something small like that (remove battery's first) also make sure the connections are cleaned with a Qtip in rubbing alcohol. Also, I'd check that there's no short on the build deck. Griffins are finicky and can short without it being obvious.
    Good luck

    I appreciate the vote of confidence.  Message me an address and I'll send you a sampler 10ml bottle to try out.  I don't want to get into selling e-juice with the Guberment going wack like they are.  I can envision them being total a-holes at the least opportunity.

    Edna got a reaction from Uncivil11 in Syringes   
    I found that my local (livestock) feed store carries larger size syringes (20/50ml) and they work better than the 10ml for VG. They're sterile and perfect  size for DYI ejuice. Earthling is 100% right that it would be a bugger to get straight VG thru that small a needle. I just pull out the plunger and pour the VG into the syringe to the measurement I need then put the plunger back and push it into the bottle. Works like a charm and makes measuring easy
    Basically I use 3 syringes for a 30/60ml bottle of juice.... for larger amounts I use graduated pyrex beakers as a rule though.
    1ml (for nicotine)
    10 or 20ml for flavors
    20 or 50ml for VG

    It's a quiet weekend for us here. We are finally moving in to the new homestead next week, the fences are finished, the sheds are up and we're almost completely packed. We're taking a quiet day to reflect on how grateful we are and enjoy our local friends before we move to parts unknown. It's been quite a journey.

    The VT Store is open and back to business as usual again. The support system is a bit backed up but shouldn't take long to get caught up with everything. We have new stock arriving throughout next week which should replenish some missing items in the store. 
    Thanks!

    It's a great day to vape! 
    Got four rigs in rotation and flavors are all tasting wonderful.  A short four months ago and I chuckled at others with multiple mods going thinking "no way", lol.  The doghouse (vape cave) looks like a MOAB went off in it, but that's cool.  Don't mind un-cluttering.  Got three songs to learn today, one of which I have been wanting to tackle for over 20 years.  Gonna fire up the DYI lab and restock.  Think I'll make up a few little 10ml drip bottles for Easter presents.  Basically a play day today.  I'm thinkin sweats all day.  Got a gallon of VG coming in as well.  Another "no way" just a while ago.  High of 64 today in south east Michigan so I might even fire up the grill. 
    Hoping it's a great day for all!!!

    In sunny Southern Colorado our high today was a balmy 84 degrees. Tomorrow and Sunday we expect low 70s like @VapeMama. We could use some rain around here to help fight the extreme fire danger warnings we have. My SO and I are planning a nice, quiet weekend for just the three of us (adding in our fuzzy kid) for a nice change of pace.
