Welcome back to TBN. Vape industry news, advocacy, and information. Today’s Topics Include: The FDA Decided to make examples of 3 very small vapor companies this last week by rejecting 55K of their PMTA applications. Were going to dig into why, and what this means for the future of the vaping market in the USA. We also have some sciencey stuff and a NEW Iqos product launching in Japan.

Be Informed, Trust Science, Defend Vaping

As I said in the video, at the end of the day, the YachtVape Eclipse RTA (by MikeVapes) is just a single coil RTA. It’s not going to do anything leaps and bounds better than some other single-coil RTAs. The flavor is on point and I overall love the style of this thing. Druga RTA, yeah it’s kinda like that, it’s also in the same family as the GEAR RTA. Slammed down flavor bangers.

My only gripe is the hollow airflow, but even that isn’t enough to keep me away from this RTA.

I really think this Uwell Aeglos H2 mod pod is a sleeper. It’s a real nice performer for not a whole lot of money. The MTL kinda sucks, but as a restricted lung, it’s very nice. The 0.18 coils at 42 – 44 whats is a really enjoyable vape IMO.

New vapers for sure, veteran vapers maybe if you’re looking for something in this category. You want something a little lighter weight, a little more “corporate” feeling? The Aeglos H2 mod pod could be what you need to quit cigarettes.

After a solid 5 year streak of safety here at GrimmGreen Industries, we had an OSHA recordable accident last week. An employee was being careless and not observing proper lock out / tag out procedures and was burnt on 3 digits on his right hand. This employee was written up and put on a first-level notification with mandatory battery safety classes with Battery Mooch every other week.

We take safety very seriously here at GrimmGreen Industries and look forward to a bright and safe future for all our valued employees.

I know, understand and appreciate the controversy behind this RTA. With that said, the controversy ain’t my controversy and I really like this thing. The HAAR RTA is fiddly yes, intricate yes, but honestly easier thank ya think and ultimately a really stellar restricted lung IMO.

Apart from what I said in the video, I wanted to mention that this HAAR RTA does also suffer from the “COIL TURD” syndrome as I call it. An RDA for Vaping always has little speckles of liquid around the afc area, this RTA kinda does the same thing. With so many seams and parts connecting on the exterior, tiny surprise liquid drops are inevitable. Still worth it for the vape IMO. Dig this HAAR RTA, dig this HAAR RTA quite a bit.

At the end of the day, the Palace S mod pod is fine. The lung / restricted lung is actually pretty good, and the rest of it is fine. It’s not the first thing I would suggest to a smoker, but if a smoker bought one, it would probably be fine. Likewise for vapers, in a pinch this is fine.

If it’s between this and a Whirl … I might still pick the Whirl just because I like the coil heads. But the Palace S is still fine.

Last recap: OG Caliburn good. OG KOKO good. Caliburn-G meh. KOKO-Prime meh. Caliburn A2 GOOD!! KOKO A2 GOOD!! I feel pretty confident in my time with these coil heads. Happy to report they are really great. I like them more than the G coil heads and I like them MUCH more than the Yearn Neat 2 coil heads. This Caliburn A2 feels like a throwback to the first one, and I like that a lot.

Best Caliburn so far. Which will probably be beaten by the 2022 Caliburn / KoKo series. The KoKo has a lanyard thing too if you dig those, it works great.

Well hello and welcome! Time for some hot VLOG DAY action. #ReplayCrew those timestamps are the first pinned comment underneath this video. After some pondering and meditation, I’ve decided we are flipping the script a little bit. Weeding out the boring stuff, adding in cooler stuff, and overall making the VLOG better and more fun for everyone.

We will be going through many of the VLOG segments tonight including beer, mail, retro vapings, liquid tastings, GTKGG, some news, some advocacy. I truly and honestly believe YouTube is screwing with me and I’m going to try to prove it tonight. I’m not crazy and I need you guys to confirm that fact.

Welcome back to TBN. Vape industry news, advocacy, and information. Today’s Topics Include: Some good news in Maine, some strange news from Mass and our MAIN THING this week is all about our favorite vape prohibitionist Stanton Glantz.

One of our favorite people Marc Gunther wrote an INCREDIBLE and revealing piece about Big Tobacco’s Little Helper Stanton Glantz. Cathartic rage sweat and truth butter will be flowing today.

I always expect big RDAs like this to have TONS of airflow, and while this does have some plentiful airflow, I find myself wanting just a little more. Flavorful, smooth, and really really well made describes the KONG 28mm RDA from QP designs.

Kong has a solid deck with a high “Blueh” factor, the “Blueh” hole in the center works shockingly well. Digging this thing a whole hell of a lot.
