    I can understand what you're saying (but the other commenter already corrected you about the specifics on that ban), but ... what most people are not aware is that these batteries (normally 18650 bats) are EXACTLY the ones that are used in laptop batteries. If you break open a battery pack from a laptop, all that you'll see inside is a row of 18650 bats ;)

    With a mec mod there are no buit-in protections, so no restrictions. The only "rule" is Ohm Law. That means you can build a ridiculous low coil setup, in the low sub-ohm range, and get the most watts out of the battery.
    Of course, that also means that if you fuck up your build, there are no built-in protections to save you if your battery goes into bad territory.

    That being said... with the ample selection of regulated devices that support high wattage output, up to 200W in some cases... it's mainly a question of looks, or preference.

    Posting anon because mod.

    Sorry, you're wrong. It's the other way around. VG makes much more vapor, and it is preety much popular nowadays. Three years ago liquids were mainly PG or 50/50 mix, nowadays most liquids are much higher VG.

    So, VG: more vapor, softer; PG: better flavouring, more ''throat-hit''

    I had one of these back in the days: http://www.mobilephonehistory.co.uk/motorola/motorola_d160.php
    (or a very similar model, mine had a kind of shell cover thingy, if I remember correctly)

    The battery it used was basically four AA batteries, and you could take it off and put 4 AA batteries in it when the main one went dead.

    Say they decide to pay the troops, what about the contractors who were promised money who are risking their lives as well? You think the mercenaries are going to be happy when they find out they might not be paid and that their contract may even be canceled? So how are they going to get their money?

    Wait ... for a moment there, I thought you were talking about some point in history, somewhere lost in the Middle Ages....

    At least where I live, that EULA stuff means shit! It's not automatically law, just because Sony put some ludicrous demands on a "contract" (and I use that term very liberally) that you can just access AFTER you purchased the product. It goes again basic law.

    But a lot of businesses might decide it is better for their stockholders to change a label and abort a minor marketing program than to fight an expensive court battle and win.

    Aren't you kind of saying that "Free speech is for the rich" as stated above? I know not literally, but it all boils down to it.

    Well, the great Founding Fathers could have ruled out laws of physics, such as gravity, for instance. Doesn't mean it will automatically cease to exist. Just because you have that concept on a piece of paper (which even some former president openly declared not much more worthy than a piece of toilet paper), doesn't automagically makes it real.
