Hello and welcome, welcome and hellooooooooo! We’re back from “The Summer Of Nick” and holy crap I’m ready to dish out some hot VLOG action. Feelin good today and I believe we have a full full schedule. Obviously running long tonight.

Let’s see… Beer yes, Retro yes, Mail yes, News yes, Building something? YAS! Random liquid tasting, yes. A crazy embarrassing story that happened during the Patreon – YOYOY – Knots Berry Farm meet-up… unfortunately, yes.

Having never used the original MAG devices from Smok, I totally see the appeal of them. The Smok MAG 18 fits in my hand like it was made for it. Super comfy experience. The TFV18 tank is good, but kinda just good. It’s my least favorite part of this kit. If I could get the MAG 18 with the TFV18 mini tank, then we would really have something.

Had some altitude-related leaking, but not any still in my day-to-day normal use. Everything on this device held up wonderfully, even the coil head lasted a few weeks.

Here’s the thing about the ALD XPLLO pod. The pods themselves vape REALLY NICE. The “open” airflow setting is probably my favorite. It’s the most Caliburn-like. The “tight” airflow setting is very tight. Too tight for GrimmGreen honestly, but not objectionable.

The ALD XPLLO drama comes from the batteries that are just failing on me. On something so simple like making sure a magnet is glued down properly. This doesn’t give me high hopes for their future products, but I’ll always give them a chance.

Brutal sunburn bro. The Vaporesso P60 kinda rules. The PT80s is still fine, and honestly vapes IDENTICAL to the PT60. Just something about that lightweight handfeel on the PT60 I guess. Also, traveling has always and will always make me gravitate toward internal battery mods for some reason. The fewer chargers I need to bring the better and the PT60 charges on a USBC cable.

Don’t smoke, Vape.

Would you put up with the hassle of filling this boro tank for such a nice device? I want to know! COMMENT! But honestly, look at this thing man. I assure you that the sliding door is every bit as satisfying as you think it is. I’ve grown to adore the button placement. I honestly can’t get enough of this HOKO-E mod.

This thing comes All the way from Barcelona from Mod Corporation.

Well hello and welcome, welcome and hello. It is Thursday and I have yet another full-on action-packed VLOG for you guys tonight. I’m about to start “The Summer Of Nick” and my streaming schedule will again be impacted. Same deal as last year, the VLOG will be back PROMPTLY on Aug 18th.

Tonight though we have some Stanton Glantz news, he is wrong again and we’re all surprised. I also wanted to mention a GREAT piece written by Marc Gunter about how The Truth Initiative lost its way.

Welcome back to TBN! Industry news, advocacy, and information. We care about facts and science here. We care about harm and harm reduction. Our guest this week is the great Logan Exhales, long-time friend of the show, harm reduction advocate, and all-around great guy.

Nicotine abstinence, what are your thoughts? and why is this being pushed by tobacco controllers? Is it an unattainable goal they know we can never reach? Or is it actually realistic? discuss that and much much more with us today on TBN.
