    I use the KR-808D with a 901 Atomizer. The cartomizers are also a good option if you don't like the hassle of refilling cartridges frequently. There are many many options out there, so I would recommend visiting one of the many forums on the subject and make your decision based off that.

    The concentration used to vape at is generally not too dangerous. I get the stuff on my skin and in my mouth with more regularity than I would like to admit and I have never fallen ill as a result. The cartridges are overpriced IMHO. If you look online a pack of five cartridges costs around $10 ($20 if you go to the mall), whereas a refill bottle costs about $6 and allows you to refill somewhere in the neighborhood of 20+ cartridges. Granted, analog cigarettes are WAY more expensive so even the cartridges are a significant savings in that respect, but I digress.

    Then my final statement still stands. Oven cleaner would likely kill you if you had some unfortunate mishap. So would drain cleaner. In fact, so would any one of these which are all perfectly legal.

    You can overdose on regular tobacco cigarettes. Go ahead and chain smoke two packs in under three hours and tell me how you feel. What safeguards do traditional cigarettes have in place to prevent overdose? If I want to breathe cyanide, shouldn't that be up to me?

    It takes about one full 15ml bottle of 36mg concentration e-juice to kill a full sized adult. I don't know if you have ever played with the stuff, but try putting a drop on your tongue. If that wasn't enough, try putting the whole bottle in your mouth. This stuff BURNS. Only a suicidal moron would attempt devouring it. Should oven cleaner and other powerful solvents be outlawed because they too are highly toxic?

    the ONLY smartphone that fits in the pocket of a pair of jeans

    pretty sure my nokia E71 is a smartphone, and I put it in my jeans pocket every day. At the time of its release it was considered the thinnest smartphone on the market.

  12. Re:No conflict of interest there on Larry Sanger Tells FBI Wikipedia Distributes "Child Pornography" · · Score: 1

    While I have never really considered things from the angle that you suggest and I appreciate the insight, the fact of the matter is that I have seen the worst in people and I know what man is capable of when left unchecked. I wish it was so simple as just allowing an outlet for pedophiles to "relieve" themselves, but is that really the correct solution? Wouldn't offering a support network or psychological evaluation and treatment be a better solution? I can agree that is necessary to have some images for educational purposes such as those offered by wikipedia, but by allowing lolicon and similar images to become acceptable I feel as if an important social barrier may have been breeched. I honestly can't make a truly informed decision because I don't have a degree or education in psychology, but based on what I have seen and heard, I have a very hard time accepting that child porn or lolicon (victemless or otherwise) should be allowed in any manifestation.

    I apologize. That may have come off as a bit strong. However, my mother has been an evaluator for sexual predators for a number of years now and I feel as if I have a bit of insight into the subject. I simply cannot agree with the idea that the promotion and/or glorification of child pornography is right in any way shape or form. While I am all for freedom of speech and the rights of the people, this kind of thing is rather disguisting. Yes, I know what the pictures on wikipedia look like, but where do you draw the line? Do you have children of your own? Would you want said children around the sort of people that take pleasure in viewing photos such as the ones in question?

    Holy crap is this getting drawn out. Stereotypes don't exist because some jerk thought he would make up false ideas about people; they are generally earned. To say that stereotypes hold no truth would be a lie. Also, the name calling is uncalled for and quite childish, but then again this whole conversation borders on ridiculousness. I'm throwing in the towel here, because you are clearly my moral superior and I should be so lucky to have your comment grace my message inbox, oh exalted one.

    yes, they can be found just about anywhere, there just happens to be a high concentration in the south. I find this conversation quite silly as I am from the south and can quite readily attest to this fact. Yes, lots of great things have come from the south, Mark Twain for one, but let us not forget the south also gave us Larry The Cable Guy.
