    Wildman, do you buy anything online? I was thinking about buying my juices online but didn't know what site would be the best to do so.

    no I don't buy online at all. I'm just to paranoid about that. So I'll use it for research, then go support the local business.

     

    That is basically all that I have ever done with online stuff. I do buy my cartos online mainly because they are cheaper. I bought a vamo vv/vw from ebay last year, it lasted for about 2 months. I just need to expand my juice flavors, the only one I like is the GNS Beetlejuice

    Just finished AC Black Flag, great game. Downloaded Need For Speed on XB1, anyone play this yet? I loved it on the first gen xbox

     

    Saw that they have it for absurdly cheap for this week's Gold deals on XB1, thought I may give it a spin...but then again, BF4 and Titanfall are $25 and $12 for everything, respectively, as well...

     

    Not worth the buy IMO, you really can't do much modifications to the rides in this game. It was fun for about an hour but then it just became repetitive, racers vs cops is the entire story line.

  3. I have a few different mods, rda's, tanks and rta's. The stores i go to is Big Red Vapor or GNS in Lincoln. My current go to is

     

    IPV3 and Kangertech Subtank

    As for the harmful effects this has. May take a couple years to truly see how much safer this is. But out of the juice it's only made up of 2-5 ingredients. The main two are VG and PG. Both have been studied for years and are used in foods are additives. A good review of the studies can be found here. Both can cause problems at high doses. PG can make you dehydrated while VG can make you dizzy, nauseated or vomiting. The other ingredients is candy flavoring, nicotine, water is sometimes use to dilute vg as it is a think liquid. 4 out of the 5 are relatively harmless. Nicotine is the only issue in the liquid and not everyone uses it.

     

    One study I want to see done if it hasn't been already. Is with the wire used to heat up the liquid and cotton used to absorb the liquid. I'm curious if the liquid itself can break down the cotton and metal. If so are we inhaling this, could it be harmful. If theres going to be any effects from vaping. I bet that is where it would come from.

    Does that tank use cartos?

    At this point the studies are too early and conflicting to make an accurate judgement on vaping. For example, Knapp posted an article from the AHA, the World Health Organization posted a conflicting report while WebMD posted an article from a group of researchers from the UK who criticized the WHO with their claims. http://www.webmd.com/smoking-cessation/news/20140905/who-call-e-cigarette-ban-criticized

     

    My personal experience, I feel much better and have more energy when I vape compared to when I was smoking tobacco.

    Is that like when I think that I am funnier, more confident, and handsome when I drink?

     

    Depends on what you are drinking. When I drink soco I hate the world. When I drink wine I love everything. Depends on your choice of poison.

    How much safer are they? I know very little, but it seems like it could be a case of marketing hype over (thus far poorly understood) reality. (ref: https://www.sciencenews.org/article/health-risks-e-cigarettes-emerge)

    There was an article in the paper the other day which said they may still release some harmful chemicals, similar to cigarettes, such as formaldehyde. Obviously with a young technology the research is just starting to come in, we'll see I guess.

     

    I read an article on that study. The Formaldehyde is released when the juice is heated at extremely high temperatures, most devices can't get that hot. Nicotine itself is harmful to the body and lethal at high dosages. I wouldn't call vaping a "healthy" habit but it is definitely healthier than the 7000+ cancer causing agents found in cigarettes.

    I also pulled this quote from the link you posted, Zoogies. “There’s no question that a puff on an e-cigarette is less toxic than a puff on a regular cigarette,” says Stanton Glantz of the University of California, San Francisco.

  7. The Callahan era died because of his loyalties to Cosgrove (who I believe is the main cause of the losing seasons) and the toxic environment that Steve Pederson created. What is funny is that the Pelini era died because of his loyalties to his coordinators and the toxic environment that he created. To me, Pelini was the combination of Pederson and Callahan masked by the 9 wins. IMO, the two eras were of similar monsters.
