A Billion Lives North American Premiere and After Party Recap by Molecule Labs
Here’s a really well done video created by Molecule Labs about the movie “A BILLION LIVES” recapping the premiere, the after-party, and the message within the movie itself.
A SUGGESTION FOR FACEBOOK SHARING AND TAGGING
We’ve all done it. We see something posted on Facebook.
- A positive study on vaping
- A positive article on vaping
- Science that supports vaping
- A heartfelt story about how the FDA’s regulations are negatively impacting vapers, shop owners, and manufacturers
- A story about how the FDA’a regulations are going to negatively impact health.
- Etc.
So what do we do? We share & we tag.
The problem is that we typically share and tag within our own community which really doesn’t help at all. We all know our fight. We all know our story. This is exactly the reason I say that A Billion Lives is a movie that every vaper wants to see, but not a single vaper needs to see.
So I’d invite you to start sharing and tagging outside of us, our friends, and the industry.
The media and our elected officials need to start seeing our story, our struggle, and our fight and how this will negatively impact and effect ALL of us. From both a public health perspective, and a financial perspective.
I’d personally like to see a group start up that scours Facebook for these types of posts and then inundates the people who REALLY need to see them based on a massive distribution list of news outlets and government officials.
Thanks for listening and Vape Happy!
Trip’s Video
Like him or not. Agree with him or not. I personally don’t care. Now is the time for unity.
Trip has a big voice in the vaping industry and has, without a doubt, assisted in propelling the industry forward.
I for one will support anything that can help, and I think this can help considering Mr. Gregory Conley has been one of our strongest advocates since day 1.
CONGRATS PATRICK!
Congratulations Patrick! He won a post 8/8 (FML) contest for a Kanger Dripbox 160. Patrick was cool enough to bring it up to me at an event for a photo. Congrats & Vape Happy Patrick!!

A BILLION LIVES UPDATE

FROM CASAA – PLEASE TAKE ACTION AND SHARE!
Senator Ron Johnson (WI) is taking the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to task over the impact of the “deeming rule” on small to medium vapor businesses across the country. Sen. Johnson, Chair of the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, has sent several letters to the FDA requesting to see, among other things, their calculations regarding the number of vapor businesses that would be forced to close as a result of the deeming rule.
The FDA has rebuffed his request for information.
From CASAA’s perspective, the independent vapor shop is vital for ensuring consumer access to a wide variety of vapor products, as well as for helping smokers successfully transition to smoke-free products. Without a doubt, the FDA regulations will kill the diverse vapor market, which will lead to thousands of vapor shops closing. Senator Johnson is working to prevent that.
Please take a moment now to send Senator Johnson a thank you letter.
“Thank you for standing up for vaping.”

If you live outside of Wisconsin or would prefer to write a letter by hand,
please send it to:
The Honorable Ron Johnson
517 East Wisconsin Avenue

If you are collecting many letters to send off to the senator, please share a photo of your effort on social media. Use the hashtags #AnswerRonJohnson and #WeAreVapor
Chris Hughes for State Representative!
From the Chris Hughes for State Representative Facebook Page
On July 13th the PA General Assembly passed a tax bill that included $650 million in tax increases on PA residents. The lion’s share of these tax increases fall on the backs of smokers, and former smokers. In other words, people the legislature felt they could bully and get away with it. The legislature and Governor Wolf apparently felt it was necessary to further expand our state government. I decided enough is enough. For this reason, I have decided to seek election to the office of State Representative for the 84th Legislative District of PA. It’s long past time to demand our state government stop spending the people’s money like it grows on trees. I’d also like to be a strong supporter of Second Amendment rights, and help defend small businesses that are the backbone of our economy. I hope you’ll consider supporting me by contributing, and volunteering through my site chrishughes4pa.com, and that you will also write my name in on Nov 8th.
Thank you.
Chris Hughes
Go get’em Chris! All my best!
From Marvin
Hello Mr. Busardo, I just wanted to drop you a couple lines and say thanks
for doing what you do. I had some back sets in the beginning but haven’t had a
cigarette in one year today. You are the reason for this handicapped man in a
wheelchair rolling along looking like an old timely steam engine. Hell all I need
now is a whistle ! All joking aside you have changed a Lot of peoples lives not just
the smoker but the people that lived with the smoker. Don’t let people get you upset
by saying stuff they know nothing about. I am still using my good old Russian 91%
everyday and will be forever grateful.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE WISMEC MOTIV – 8/16/16
- This product has been received in exchange for promotion and/or review. It was received prior to 8/8/16.
Ok, so I opened this one up and the first thing I thought… it’s a bigger, slicker Joyetech AIO type of device… same closed cup design, same LED color selections and how you select them, same top airflow, same way the coil attached to the top cap, etc… so I filled it up with a 12mg (using the pre-installed DS Dual 0.25ohm, a DS Notch coil .25 is also included), tightened up the airflow and tried to mouth to lung it and I realized that it is WAY not an AIO. I was greeted by one of the harshest vapes I’ve experienced in a while, so this one appears to work best for the direct lung style of vaping.
I’m beginning to think devices such as this and in general should be clearly labeled as to what type of vaping they support best so that the consumer doesn’t make a purchase expecting one thing and receives another.
So I’m going to change up the liquid and see how it does in direct lung. Bottom line I think this a pretty slick, direct lung, all-in-one very similar to the Joyetech AIO but supporting DL vaping far better than the AIO does. It has an internal 2ml tank and an internal 2200mAh battery. No adjustments on this one other than the LED tank color.
One other thing. The damn pre-installed coils are set up on the post HARD! I needed rubberized pliers to get one off and broke a top cap trying to get another one off. This definitely needs to be addressed.
Here’s some additional information from Wismec:
Motiv, designed in California, the first elliptic device with built-in atomizer by Wismec, applies the leakproof system with 2ml e-liquid capacity. Compact yet efficient, the neoteric structure with specially designed decorative cap makes the device convenient in use and fashionable in look. Coming with various attractive colors for your preference, the newly added indicator light of seven changeable colors also makes Motiv quite popular and unique.
