Electronic cigarettes are under attack once again.
Ever since their entry into the market, personal vaporizers have been under constant attack from seemingly all levels of government. FDA has sought to classify them as medical devices. Customs has tried to block their entry. New Jersey has made them subject to indoor smoking bans. The California state attorney general has sued Smoking Everywhere. And both California and Utah legislatures have tried, abut thankfully failed, to ban their sale. And I am sure there are more examples I am overlooking as I write …

Well, tonight was the first night of the Year of the Tiger.
I spent New Years eve and New Years having quiet dinners with the family of our manufacturer’s chief engineer. Heavily salted stewed meats were the main menu items. And entertainment was pre-recorded New Years shows on TV. Around 11pm both nights I wandered out on my own trying to find any kind of street fairs, fireworks shows, or lion dances. Anything like the CNY events I’d been to in San Francisco’s Chinatown. But all I could find were small …

I haven’t had time to post much more than quick replies on the forums, but I thought you might get a laugh out of my dinner tonight.

I really have no idea what it is. It looks like it had either wings or really skinny front legs, it tastes like pork, but that would be rather suspiciously long and skinny for either a bird or a pig.
Whatever it is, I ate a quarter of it.
And for the beer, Shenzhen Kingway Brewery:
Because when I want a fine beer, I look for …

I was working on today’s video, a viewer’s mail segment answering a couple comments about the Janty Stick, when I accidentally broke off the atomizer’s base inside the Stick. >:-( (This was a cheap generic 801 atomizer from Vapor Country, BTW, not the included Janty atomizer. I was saving that. :-))
I’ve been trying to get it out for a couple hours, with the jewler’s pliers I’ve got, but none of them are long enough. I don’t think even needlenose pliers will be narrow enough, but don’t have any anyway. I’m …

Runner-ups and Honorable Mentions:
#6) Puresmoker USB Passthrough: The companion piece to the Prodigy, this heavy-duty USB passthrough shares the Prodigy’s feature of removable atomizer adaptors, allowing it to accommodate several popular atomizer types. The heavy-duty cord is both a strength and a weakness. Durability good, I get that. But this cord is so heavy and stiff it’s hard to manage. The weight keeps pulling the e-cig off the desk when it’s idle, among other annoyances. And I’ve had trouble with all the adaptors but the original 901. They don’t quite …

Hi everyone!
A couple of new retailers have written me to offer LEAFORD codes!
First up is 5% off at The Kick It Stick. They offer generic 801’s and 901’s priced at $50.
The eSmoker Shop is offering 5%. They carry 901’s and 401’s for $45.95. And for the ladies out there (or whoever, I will not judge you), they have the elusive PINK 901s!
And eSmoke, who I will be talking more about below, is offering 10% off.
I’ve tested two more of the LTv9/E9 disposable atomizer brands, GreenSmoke and Vapure. These are …

Unfortunately they’ve proved too popular, and now there are hardly any to be found.
Vapor4Life is of course the original retailer of this model. He just received a shipment, but it’s very limited quantity, so first come first serve. Email Steve at sminilenterprise@aol.com.
See Steve’s latest announcement, of a great limited time package here: Vapor king pre-sale 11 Atomizer’s 2 Bottles Nobacco Juice 20ml
[EDIT] The limited time sale is over, alas, but Smilin has plenty in stock at Vapor4Life.
There’s Ecigarettes Canada at $50US, but they’re out of stock.
There’s Premium Ecigarettes, …
