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.

Not much else I can say here about the Ripsaw RDA. I don’t want people thinking the flavor is “BAD” on this RDA. It feels slightly muted, and not as saturated as I would like. Bit of a rough go, but as I said in the video. It might just not be for me.

I explained this top-down-airflow saturation phenomenon in an old video from FEB 2016. It’s the Aeolus Lite RDA video here (link to the video).

Hello and Welcome, welcome and hello! It’s VLOG DAY but it’s also a sad day. Our community lost a friend and tonight’s VLOG is dedicated to the mighty MATT SINISTER. Matt was our bro and to many of us in the Patreon, he was a dear friend.

Packed VLOG tonight. Totally a beer, totally a retro vape, totally Totally mail and even though Matt hated it… Totally news and advocacy. No Vaping isn’t “dead” or “over” or “ending” … but as I said, it’s not awesome, and it’s going to be a rough road getting there. But we don’t give up.

I guess the thing getting the most banana stickers are the pods themselves rather than the vessel you choose to use. The Vmate-E is bigger and heavier, I think it’s supposed to be “feminine” but.. it’s just honkin.

I don’t hate it, but I personally want smaller and lighter-weight pods these days. The Vmate INFINITY is almost exactly what I wanted; unfortunately, it’s basically an updated Vmate battery, with a bit more open airflow.

Confirmed airflow sizes are 1.5mm MTL and 3.5mm RDL. There is also an extended tank for this RTA as well as 1, 1.2, 1.8, 2, 2.5, and 3mm airflow pins. I might possibly do a follow-up video / stream later when I can get them.

Otherwise this JIIIS ( J3S ) RTA as I said, is kinda just rad sauce. All the fit and finish is stellar, the deck is tricky to wick I’m not going to lie. The re-wick after this video on the MTL did get actually leaky on me. Like leak out the airflow leaky. It takes some practice IMO to really nail it down consistently. Flavor nation Utah though.

So it turns out you can kind of accidentally cover up the airflow on the Aegis BOOST2. A few times today in the car my bottom lip sort of… went too low and covered it up. Still not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of.

The Aegis BOOST 2 B-Series coil heads are honestly really great, super crispy and flavorful. I’m expecting to see an Aegis BOOST 2 “PRO” or something in the not-too-distant future that will have a replaceable 18650; for now, you just get an internal 2000mah battery.

Well hello and welcome, welcome and hello! Being all HELLA edgy and flipping the bird. I feel like doing some FDA Trashing tonight, so that’s what we will do. Obviously, yes beer ( kinda ). Yes Mail, Yes liquid tasting, yes german records, and GTKGG.

I still haven’t told the Star Wars Celebration story, that might have to wait until next week. I also wanna try to “Build-a-thing” so we might have a VOTE on that as well.
