there's a bunch of vape stores around still in Illinois and I like liquid, it's a lot less strong than nicotine salt and also doesn't feel horrifying if you don't vape every twenty minutes

i vape every 20 seconds from dawn to dusk

agreed and the saga has been interesting. all the old pc repair places turned into vape shops and now theyre.. empty? cbd stores? same guys running them all i think.

im an old school man and have a RTA. my new mod is the rainbow color (like katana rainbox, oil color) aegis 2. my RTA is nothing special (ares 2) which is single coil. i think i will build a mega dual coil thing next.

one cool thing is since the PACT act hosed up vape shipping i had this thing delivered via PUDO (??) to a local pawn shop (??) and saved $10 on shipping. almost as cool as the amazon locker inside 7-11, maybe cooler actually since there were bums and criminals at the pawn shop probably. then again theres bums and criminals at 7-11 also. interesting to consider.

only mentioned it itt since i think virgil is the only public person to rip a huge vape anymore. i'd never get the new juuls or pods or whatever. the whole cool thing about RTAs and mods and such was user sercivability and economy. does virgil have a large vape or is he juul cucked.. ? lol imagine buying carts or atomizers or whatever like a bitch. sad
yeah some of em turned into cbd/delta8 stores but most are gone. empty strip mall fronts now. it was actually kinda interesting because online it has the stereotype of like reddit lolbertarian slashdot nerd but ime it was largely lower-class rural et al ppl like being in rural tennesse for work and random flag-flying vape shops across small podunk towns; and like there was a whole yt review industry where it'd just be like some random psychiatrist guy or random gruff trucker dude at a rest stop sitting in his semi-truck reviewing some new one he just got to like 5000 views.

RTA's were cool but i got tired of building coils and wicking, and they'd often leak for some reason. ive noobed up and gone refillable pods (caliburn a2 is real good). gently caress da pact act though. it's not as bad as i thought it would be since most people have figured out other couriers but ya

anyways rip virgil

the actual devices/starter kits are dirt cheap, like around pack of cig price or two for a real good one. even fancier gear wasn't much. where they get you are the either the replaceble coil system, pods (either prefilled or empty), empty ones are still the better bet at around ~$5 every 2 weeks vs juuls which are like $20/week

i was wrong, it's only banned here in the bay area (for the most part) and the state passed a state-wide ban but ended up being punted into a referendum for 2022, which california voters will prob pass because they're the dumbest people in existance (e.g. they voted against an insulin and dialysis price-cap, they voted against regulating dialysis clinics, they voted against giving EMT's paid lunches, they voted for giving landed gentry perpetual 1970 property tax rates, they voted to bring back bail bond industry, they voted against letting 17 year olds-turning-18 vote in the primary, etc)

apparently joe biden fda is trying to get it banned federally

I just remember watching one of my friends cheefing on his $400 vapor modulator tesseract in 2015 while his girlfriend insisted that it was harmless water vapor, how could inhaling flavored chemicals 24 hours a day possibly have side-effects?

was that the julie brown one? cause yeah it wasn't a good ep and felt somewhat awkward. not like, azealia banks episode bad, but also one of the weaker ones. i feel there wasn't much value in the interview, either in knowledge or views. i'm sure she's done some good work in the past, but she seems like one of those proto-type old 60 year old hippie-adjacent academia lib types that's also very constrained boomer brain in that they still fundamentally believe in the good in american institutions at their core

and also they can just interview good journalists instead of bad ones

Yeah, that one. I think that it's one thing to insult journalists as an outsider, but another to do it once you actually have the option of interviewing them and gaining more mainstream acceptance (to be clear, you should insult journalists in both cases, but I think it's easy to have your views "softened" by spending time with them, so hopefully Brace/Liz don't end up like that).

the upcoming yung chomsky documentary sounds cool as hell and i'm excited, but i cannot imagine anyone not from the bay area giving one iota of a poo poo.

as one of the few bay area 'natives' (aka not the real ones whom were all genocided by missionaries) left that hasn't been displaced by some doughy white pudgy fucker from UW madison wisconsin working for fartapp or metaverse, it's a real trip to go down memory lane about a lot john vanderslice and yung chomsky talk about and cultural displacement

Yeah, I'll try listening to it but doubt I'll be able to get into it much. I imagine it will just be like listening to my dad talk about his time as a singer/songwriter in Memphis (and assorted other cities in the southeast), only about a city/region I don't even have much interest in.
