Why do you think that Karate? They weren't that bad, slightly aggressive, but not that bad and someone did post a link to Dr. Siegel which is awesome.
I have seen your comments before on articles so I know you have a totally different way of going about it which I completely respect. Just FYI.
When I originally read the article there were three comments. Here's one:
WHY DON'T YOU OUTLAW REGULAR CIGARETTES-YOU ARE A HYPOCRITE AND ANOTHER DIRTY WORTHLESS POLITICIAN PIECE OF SEWER WASTEHow does this help? It would have been better to not post anything than to post a comment that makes e-cig users seem like filth spewing, adolescent, idiots. That's what I think a comment like this does.
a second comment:
E-Cigarettes are much better for you then regular smokes. The FDA lied about all of this because they are corrupt. The FDA is in with Big tobacco and Big Pharm so of course they don't want a healthier product coming out, that would take away money from them.Why? This started out good but then went right down hill. Calling the FDA corrupt does not lend any credence to any argument. Regardless of whether or not they are, or are not, saying they are, and basing your whole comment (argument) on it, is useless. "Ok, the FDA is corrupt because you don't agree with what they are doing. Fine. Please go away now, and let those who can make a valid point and back it up, get to the front of the line." And of course there is the conspiracy theory. Again, regardless of its validity is an empty position. "This is BS because the FDA is corrupt and they are in bed with Big Tobacco and Big Pharma!!" Whatever. That's not going to change minds and make them think "Hey, you know, this rabid poo flinging monkey makes a good point. Maybe I should reconsider my position and look at this with an open mind." Had they maybe added some facts about how e-cigs are better, well, then we're talking.
The rest of the comments start to move towards the open lines of communication. They adult point of view if you will. I've seen everything that you are doing Lacey, and I respect every bit of it. You're really putting yourself out there and doing as much as you can to get this into the spotlight and get people involved in fighting the good fight. People like the above, in my opinion, actually hurt that idea.
The way I see it stuff like this turns people off. For all they know the "big deal" is that people using the e-cig are just pissed because the FDA is, potentially, disagreeing with them. FOR NO GOOD REASON.
Does that make sense? I kinda went on a tangent there and lost myself.
-
It's still pending FDA approval lmao
I would most likely end up lighting myself on fire if I had one. More than once because I wouldn't learn my lesson.
although it would be a great way to get the grill going.

I looked at the link and they are identical to what i have. i also have a Blu kit just got it and its like 20% smaller and does not show up on the page above.....what is the class model etc of that...
I do not know about the blucig. If I remember correctly it's a two piece model instead of a three piece (cartomizer instead of atomizer and cart). I don't really know if it has a "generic" alternative. I'm sure someone else on the forum may know though.
-
the SE gold I believe is compatible with the RN4081 so anything you find that says it will work with that model number should work with your unit.
Here's a good thread to look over as well --> http://www.vaportalk.com/forum/forum/index.php?/topic/467-a-guide-to-e-cigs-and-their-model-numbers/
Welcome to the forums.

"telling listeners to the Howard Stern radio show that "for kids out there, you still look cool 'cause it still looks like a cigarette.""
I REALLY hope that's not a fact. If it is then whoever is in the SE marketing department, or was part of that show, should be fired and possibly beaten with a rabid badger.
-
Ugh. The comments on the article so far do not help, at all.

A member had asked if a thread such as this existed. I didn't see one so I took the liberty of borrowing this information from a post put together by imsewsure over at ECF. I fully intend to give it back once we're done with it.

- Tennessee Cured
This tasted like cinnamon and vanilla to me, with some smokey tobacco somewhere in there as well. It turned out to not be a bad vape at all, so that was good. I'm not sure what Tennessee is supposed to bring to the game in this one, but I'm guessing the Cured part deals with the smokey tobacco flavor hints. Probably the best in the bunch. Of the "I'm tobacco like" flavor types. Of which there was two. And the other tasted like nothing to me. So ... take that for what it's worth. -
young smartarses
Are these smartasses from Hilo Hawai'i by any chance?
You start to become genuinely convinced that the same model PV, in a different color, will work differently. Just so you can make the argument to buy it.
-
I feel dirty having read this post.
So, so dirty.
Mmmmmmm dirty ....
Hot water and soap usually works for me.
Although I've never gotten juice on my balls, so I can't be much help there.

From my experience, pissing your wife off (or I guess pissing MY wife off) can produce a throat kick.
Also, annoying a mule while standing behind it can very possibly lead to a throat kick. But that would depend on many variables like angle of kick, angle to the mule, your height versus the mule's height, etc.

Nothing worse than having to open your mailbox and find nothing but bills. Could have been worse for you though, you could have ONLY had bills and no ecig packages.
Soooooo true. However, that coupon for a midget does concern me.
-
On average I would say about 4 weeks from an atomizer. Again, that's an average based on my experience. If you haven't already I would order a few (say 4) atomizers to have as backups as that will most likely be the first thing to go. I think the jury is still out on whether or not cleaning extends or shortens the life of atomizers, everyone seems to have a different opinion on the matter.
-
BILLS!!! Yay!!
And some COUPONS for crap I would never buy. Like siding, and lawn service, and a midget.
Oh yeah, and a bubble wrap envelope with two 5ml bottles of e-juice from VaporTalk. One Dulcis and one Mentha. I'll be reviewing these and comparing them with the 401 and 510. Along with some Healthcabin and TrueSmoker e-juices.
Did I mention the bills? Yah? ok.
How about the coupons? Yah again? Alrighty then.
I also got bit by a ravenous mosquito with a mustache. Seriously, this thing had a mustache. Kinda looked like Ron Jeremy.

Ha ha rhymes with duck lol
Has anyone noticed that the swear filter on this forum changes the F work to duck? (I thought it was funny, not many people have noticed so far)
I haven't actually written a swear word yet. I just figured it would get filtered anyway.
Um, I just tested the swear filter and it may need to be tweaked a little bit.
-
Nice! I just got my 510 yesterday and am noticing much the same things you did. I'm trying to stick it only for the next few days and get a better idea of how best ot use it and how it compares to the 401.
-
In response, let me just say: Rrrrrutebeggga. (I have to say it that way cause I don't know how to spell it).
I've only tried the 3 flavors and I agree chocolate truffle was not impressive -- I think somebody put a real truffle in there, although I've never had a chocolate covered mushroom ... Haven't found one yummy chocolate yet -- why is that so hard?
JC Original is kinda empty flavorwise, just a bit sweet like maybe brown sugar or something. My first reaction was EW!, but now it has grown on me (like truffles?). It's a smooth, sweet tobacco, makes me think of pipe smoke.
Tennesse Cured is just a smooth smokey tobacco, kinda JC Orig without the sweetness. I prefer it to a Marlbro or Camel "flavored" tobacco.
My husband says that the vapor with these definitely smells stronger than any of the others I've tried, is he just attempting to draw attention away from the analog stench in his room or has anyone else noticed this?
Thanks KarateLobster -- you're review is way FUN!
My wife also noticed the smell. Especially the espresso. I will not repeat what she had to say about it, only to say one of the words rhymed with duck, the other with grass. So, something like "that smells like ducking grass!"
I just pictured ducking grass, made me smile a little bit.
Rrrrrrrrrrrrrutebegggaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! This IS Rrrrrutebegggaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!
That was fun

Have you noticed all of them except the peach smell like hazelnut? It's really strange.
I did notice a common smell/taste in all of them. I chalked it up to vanilla, but hazelnut might be more accurate ...
I just tried it, and I would have to say this is pretty much spot on. I threw it out.
-
Actually, I said it just came in the mail today :P
It's definitely better! I ordered from E wicked, since they have 20% off at the moment and it came with a case. The case was pointless, since it's way to big to pocket. The closest thing I can compare it to is a 3.5" desktop hard drive, but I think it's actually bigger. I would suggest getting the pcc if you need something to carry it in.
Here's a picture comparison the the dragon and the titan case.
Jimminy Cricket that case is ridonkulous!
But enough thread hijack ...
-
just got a Titan in the mail today.
You gotta let me know what you think of the 510. Like you I also ordered a 510, it should be arriving next week.
Back on topic though - I have nothing to give you with this. I've seen the ads, and they are EVERYWHERE! But some research made me think otherwise.
-
Chris - GET THE FUDGESTIX OUT OF HERE!!! That is SLICK. Although it does require some amount of dexterity ...
Darth - You hit it on the nose, or face mask. Oxygen delivery device? Whatever the hell you got on your face there. The PV simply does not satisfy, and I think it's mainly due to expectations. You know, due to what one is used to from back in the analogue days. Now, I've been good about not reaching for the analogues (I actually don't have any, finished the pack before starting with the PV), but I haven't been around any smokers while enjoying the wonderful nuances of my New Castle beers so I don't know how tempted I would be. You good sir (or bad sir ... good Sith? Bad Sith? DAMN IT I'M SO CONFUSED!!!) are a stronger man than I however, I can't give up my beer.
-
When I was a smoker I noticed that the more I drank, the more I smoked. I mean, on a righteous night of drinking I would easily burn away one to two packs. Without thinking twice. I was a pack a day smoker and could smoke a pack in no time flat when getting my drink on.
Now, when I vape and drink, I vape like it's going out of style. I tend to use carts specifically when I'm going to get inebriated because I learned that if I drip, I DRIP. On the atty, the floor, my pants, EVERYWHERE. And no, dipping is totally not an option.
So does anyone else find themselves to chain vape when enjoying a plethora of adult beverages?
-
I commented on the examiner article and on the first one mentioned. I'll be emailing the AP as well.
EDIT - I clicked the links to see if any of the comments had been approved and saw that Lacey's original comment on the first article linked HAS BEEN REMOVED! No effort was made to change the story either.
-
So long as the testing was done without being biased.
Therein lies the problem. While science is supposed to be unbiased, people aren't.
Correlating existing test data with new data would probably bring out a better picture of what we are dealing with, somehow I don't see that happening.
Truesmoker.com's Truesmoke Juice Review
in e Cigarette Reviews
Posted
After I ordered my JC sampler pack i decided to get myself another e-juice to use for comparison purposes. I had to order some extra parts from TrueSmoker for my Dragon e-Cig and figured I would go ahead and try some of his juice while I was there.
I'm going to use a similar methodology to my JC Juice review, with a few changes. I'm working out a system for reviews using a 5 cloud rating system for vapor production (as opposed to a 1 - 10 scale). I'm also going to be reviewing the juice in regards to how it works on both of my e-cig models - the m401 Dragon and the 510.

So there you have it! My Truesmoke juice review. Hopefully I've helped you along in the decision making process.
