Here is a link to the 499 page FDA ruling on vaping and tobacco.

https://s3.amazonaws.com/public-inspection.federalregister.gov/2016-10685.pdf

Big Tobacco and Big Pharma in collusion with the FDA have passed legislation that will end vaping in the United States.

Among the most ridiculous parts of this legislation is that “batteries and electronics” are now considered tobacco products …

I am calling for the immediate creation of a responsible and reputable Black Market for vape products in the United States.

Until next time …

Hello Vape Buddies –  I’ve not been posting much here and as my life gets more and more complicated and busy I find I need to cut-back some activities. This blog is one of the things I need to bring to a close as well as my activity in online vape groups.

I still vape – I still am a staunch advocate of vaping and vaper’s rights.  But my life has changed radically and I really need to focus my time and energy elsewhere. At 60 I find that I just can’t juggle as many things as I used to.

I plan to leave this blog up as a resource hub for anyone who comes across it. But I will no longer be posting anything new.

Vape on and Vape Strong!

Sorry I haven’t posted in a long time – life got so busy.

The Hefeweizen pictured above was a gift from a supplier at work. Really made my Friday! I haven’t figured out which vape pairs best with it yet but I’ll work on that this weekend.

I’ve been vaping Dr. Crimmy’s vliquids exclusively for the past couple months.  Really enjoying the flavors I have from him –

Kitty Milk, Honey Humps, Fruity Rings, Root Beer Float, Pebbles, Crimmy Cake

It also has saved me a TON of money. I was getting tired of spending $22.00 on those 30ml bottles. With Crimmy I get 125 ml for $30.00 or 60ml for $20.00

I’ve also not been spending money on vape gear – been using my Nautilus tanks and iSticks.  Although I am very tempted to get the new Kanger Sub Box Mini’s –

subox--768x1024

50 watt iStick issues: Auto Firing.  I have 2 iStick 50 watt mods.  One of them began auto-firing last week.  Very random occurrences.  I’ve read that this may be caused by ejuice getting in the firing button.  This is entirely possible as I had a leaky tank for while – bad coil – replaced it and cleaned the mod thoroughly. We’ll see if that solves the problem.

As some of you know – I have several blogs of which this is one.  Unfortunately I picked-up a cyber-bully on one of them – a “griefer”.  Bat Shit Crazy by the sounds of the comments she tried to post.  As a result I’ve had to disable comments on one of my blogs.  I’m going to leave the comments open on this blog and hope for the best – but if it starts-up here I will have to disable them.

The days of me spending $22.00 for a 30ml bottle of ejuice are OVER. Just O V E R.

With Dr, Crimmy’s $20.00 for 60ml and $30.00 for 125ml  – with excellent, stellar flavors and quality there is no more reason for me to EVER buy “premium” ejuice again. Unless I was so freaking curious about one that I felt I had to. And trust me – when it comes to my wallet – I’m NOT that curious.

Along those same lines are all these “sub-ohm” tanks. I have absolutely no desire to buy another one. I am very happy with my Kanger Sub Tank Mini and it’s RBA deck.  I’m also VERY happy with my Nautilus tanks and iSticks  – they work well for the way I vape – they satisfy me. I’m happy. I don’t need to lung-hit the shit out of everything all the time.

RDA’s – I STILL HAVE 3 I haven’t even built on – the Leathal, the Silaire and the Diablo Mephisto. And I have enough Japanese Muji cotton to last me 200 years for $6.00 and 300 feet of assorted gauge Kanthall. I am NOT interested in temperature control or Nickle coils … I’m happy with what I have. I don’t need to make my vaping any more complicated than it is. I pick it up – I vape it. End of story.

I’ve been watching all the trends – I watch a lot of vape reviews and maybe it’s because I’m old and cranky – but I just don’t need to try the NEXT NEW THING every 15 minutes.

So – I guess this is just me admitting that I’m old and cheap! LOL

Sorry I’ve been away for a bit – I’m recovering from Walking Pneumonia.  Didn’t vape for 8 days!! OMG the horror!! And so many things went wrong during the course of this experience I can not begin to tell you – not the least of which was my 5 year old computer died (and I lost 11 pounds in 13 days- which was GOOD) So I was dealing with people using email on my smart phone.

And also right before I got sick I bought a new car – so yeah – you have missed a lot!

Anyways – back to the present. One of the things that was going on while I’ve been away is that a NEW Social Site for Vapers has been founded by a dear friend of mine and I got to become one of its founding members – Vaporium.  http://vaporium.onsocialengine.com/

The site will open officially to the public May 1st  – but we are encouraging peeps to come on in and have a look around.  The site is very Facebook like – easy and intuitive to use.  The vibe is very family style – lots of love and respect there. I hope you will join us!

Also in recent news – I had my first commercial “approach” from Aspire US – they wanted to put a link on this blog – I said “No.” For the same reason I am refusing to monetize and “partner” with YouTube. Not that I have anything against “Monetization” or product placement – everything has a place. But I am an eccentric free spirit and I don’t want to personally tether myself to anyone or anything and I’m not a fan of “contracts”. For someone who is building a career in this arena – it would make perfect sense – but I am fully self-funded and there is a freedom of expression inherent in that which appeals to me.

Well – that’s a quick catch-up.  Yes there will be more satirical videos as soon as my voice returns. Luckily,  Win 8.1 on my new computer allowed ALL my Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 to install flawlessly – so I’m very pleased and can be digitally creative as all hell. And a new Logitech HD Web Cam – so I’ll look really good in my pajamas. Also – I LOVE my new computer – it only cost $600.00 and is MORE POWERFUL than the $3,500.00 computer it replaced!  Go Dell!

Right now I’m vaping Dr. Crimmy’s Fruity Rings in Sweet Cream and I gotta tell ya – DELICIOUSNESS!

As always – FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO VAPE – this shit is getting serious-

Starting My Own Campaign …

Posted: March 31, 2015 in Advocacy

Vape Peddlers

With all the stupidity and ignorance surrounding California’s stance on vaping I thought I’d start my own campaign …

Vape Madness

Well I just had to do this … too many beers and too much free time.

I watch a LOT of vape reviewers and the one thing that has stood out for me is that NONE of them ever say “THIS PRODUCT SUCKS”  They have “pros” and “cons” but NOBODY EVER SAYS “This product was absolute shit.”

It was just too tempting … to see just how easy it is to upload a vape review video in my pajamas totally inebriated,

Taste is subjective – what works for me may not work for you.

I had around 30 bottles of eLiquid in my steeping box … everything I taste tested was steeped at least 1 month or more with the exception of 1 – the Winner.

When I was thinking about writing this post originally I was going to tell you each flavor I vaped … but at the end there were really only 2 that stood out to me. So rather than bore you with the long list of what didn’t work for me I thought I’d just focus on the 2 that did.

The winner was Dr. Crimmy’s Kitty Milk (70VG/30PG Nic 6mg w/Extra Flavor Shot). Hand’s down – the creamiest, buttery smooth vape I have ever had.  It is right up there with 2 of my other favorites – Suicide Bunny Mothers Milk and Cosmic Fog Milk and Honey. I vaped it both in an RDA, (the Magma with a 1.0 ohm single coil build and organic Japanese cotton wick) – and a tank, the Aspire Nautilus Mini with the stock 1.7 ohm coil. Kitty Milk performed stellar in both set-ups with a more full flavor profile coming from the RDA.

My bottle of Kitty Milk was bottled 3-15-2015 and I vaped it yesterday 3-28-2015. I let it breath over night. I can only imagine that with increased steeping time it will just get more and more stellar. I also want to add that my bottle of Kitty Cream came with a little toy horse – thinking this was odd I asked around and discovered they apparently send little toy animals out with every order!  Very cute! Very Memorable!

Dr. Crimmy

What else is stellar about this eLiquid is the price – 60 ml for $20.00.  For an eLiquid that rivals the flavor and vapor production of those I pay twice that or more for.

I’ve already been gushing on Facebook and thevapedom.com about Dr. Crimmy so I’ll spare you anymore gushing. Let me just say I was so impressed by this eLiquid that I went back to their website and bought a T-Shirt.

If you like cream vapes – TRY THIS ONE. http://www.drcrimmy.com/store/pc/home.asp

Coming in at Second Place was Vigilante Juice Co. Grey Ghost –

What was remarkable about this eLiquid is that I AM an Earl Grey Tea drinker. So I had a lot of reservations about trying it, thinking I would be disappointed. I was very surprised. This is a delicious representation of Earl Grey with a dash of milk and on the exhale a lovely, delicate hint of lemon. I taste tested it on the Magma RDA with a 1.0 ohm single coil build and organic Japanese cotton wick.  If you are a tea lover and especially if you are an Earl Grey lover – do yourself a favor and try this one.

Price – Pretty standard for premium eLiquids – I paid $21.95 for a 30 ml bottle. http://www.thedripclub.com/store/p/64-Vigilante-Juice-Co-Grey-Ghost.aspx

Both eLiquids are outstanding. They were worth wading through 30 *meh* bottles to discover.

CDPH: “Children Are Vaping And They’re All Going To Die”

March 24, 2015

Helen Lovejoy is apparently running the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) these days, and I struggled to pick my jaw up off the floor as I explored her latest campaign. The deception she’s churning out is thicker than the air at The Drip Club’s office by 5pm on a Friday (here’s an approximation of the view from my desk), and it’s so obviously underhanded and shady with its rhetoric that no reasonable adult could take it seriously (are they targeting children?). Let’s take a line-by-line look at the “kids” section of the website they just launched as part of their $7,000,000 advertising campaign against vaping that was funded by California taxpayers. You can learn more about the wildly successful counter-campaign against all this nonsense here.

Thanks to the Drip Club for originally posting this.

Later Vapers …

Hi Folks – I’m 60. I know what I like and I know what I don’t like. I’m at the age where I will never learn anything the hard way again. I’m at the age where I can finally relax. I’ve earned the privilege and I am fully entitled.

There is a LOT of drama going on in Califirnia concerning vaping. To counteract the onslaught of bullshit from stillblowingsmoke.org  a COUNTER SITE emerged – notblowingsmoke.org and EVERYONE and his mother is up in arms in the vape community.

I am always (obviously) on the side of vapers. But I work a full time job and I’m tired. I want to come home and relax – not write diatribes against Big Tobacco, Big Pharma,  Big Government, ect. I just want to come home, relax and have a vape, maybe build some coils.

I can build my own atty and I can build my own mod and I can mix my own juice and buy everything I need off Amazon.com. There is NOTHING that will ever prevent me from vaping for the rest of my life. I’m 60 – Nothing will prevent me from having fun and only doing things I enjoy.  At 60 I’ve had a shift in priorities. Nothing scares me.

Today the guy at my local vape shop asked me if I was going to blog about all the shit going on in California. I said, “Yes” I probably would. Secretly thinking to myself – “I have so many FUN things to do – why the fuck would I do that?”

That said – There are people much younger and more energetic than I am who are just as passionate as I am about vaping – so when the shit hits the fan I’m just going to feature them here. And let THEM do all the work. Because, hey – I’m 60.
