From CASAA…
You may remember back in December, we issued a Call to Action to urge lawmakers to change the grandfather date in the Tobacco Control Act so that all of the life saving vapor products currently on the market can stay on the market. We’ve had over 4000 members take action, but we need thousands more. This is still an active Call to Action! If you have already participated, please forward this to a friend.
Please take two minutes to send emails to your federal lawmakers – Take Action

NEW IN THE QUEUE – 1/30/15 – The Mark Bugs Chalice III
Every now and then a piece comes in and I’m just blown away by the quality, workmanship, and machining. Today is both now and then.
This is a sexy, albeit pricey, little bottom fed atomizer with an adjustable airflow ring. Workmanship and machining is impeccable. Threading and airflow ring movement are like butter. I’m really looking forward to trying this one out.
Note, the damage to the red velvet in the box was me trying to dig it out to see if there was anything underneath. 🙂 Shown next to a Cyclone for size comparison.
I think I’m going to sit this on top of the Promec and kill two birds with one stone.

Hi Phil,
You’ve said you like to hear from people, so thought I’d drop you a line.
First of all I’d like to let you know that what you do is awesome! You’re videos are
not just entertaining (love the funny bits!) but they give real, practical help to
people trying to figure out what to buy or what not to buy. If all that wasn’t
enough, I’ve found that at times when the temptation to smoke got really bad, just
watching you’re videos kinda inspired me to vape instead! and to persevere with it
things weren’t working for me.Now it’s taken me about 2 1/2 years to reach this point, but since the start of the
year I have been basically smoke free (for the first time in 35+ years). In that
time I have been experimenting with vaping to find what works for me, I’ve tried
lots of different mods, tanks and juice compositions i.e. PG/VG, flavour bases etc,
etc. I’ve even tried with no flavour. By the way, I have the complication of having
a TB like infection and very sensitive lungs.What I’ve ended up with is; ~15mg Juice that has 0 PG (seems I’m allergic) , and
uses distilled water for thinning and no added flavour , although I might experiment
again with flavouring when my luns get a bit better. This goes into a significantly
worked Russian 91% sitting on top of a Shark rDNA 30 that I’ve upgraded myself to a
DNA 40 (temp protection is a massive advancement in vaping!) I love this setup, it
works! and I don’t think I would have had the same success quiting without it.Having had so much trouble finding the right setup for me, has given some unique
experiences and insights into vaping, it would be nice to find a way to share them
(I’m too shy to even try what you do).Anyway, please keep doing what you do! and thank you.
Regards,
Owen
KANGER SUBTANK INSULATOR CLARIFICATION
First, thanks to Matthew Noecker for the heads up on this.
He contacted me and said he already received his new insulators from Kanger for the Subtank. He was concerned however, because his were a light brown color, and the ones I showed in the video were clear.
Ok, so now we have the original white (monkey ass), the clear that I showed (yummy), and the light brown (WTF).
Will the real PEEK material please stand up?
Here’s the deal, directly from Kanger…
I confirmed that the insulators you received (the clear ones) were PEEK insulators. Kanger made further improvement and developed a blended PEEK material with better performance since then. The most recent ones are light brown.
Hope this helps to prevent or alleviate any confusion out there as the replacements start to roll in.
Here are some photos of the new ones, again, thanks you Matthew…
NEW IN THE QUEUE – 1/27/15 – THE JOYETECH EGO ONE
Joyetech has been coming out with some pretty sharp products lately and this one is no exception. Although I find the quote “The ONE device for EVERYONE” to be a pretty bold one.
It’s available in both a 1100 mAh and 2200 mAh version. The atomizer is also available in a larger (2.5ml) version.
It will be interesting to see what this device looks like on the scope as it’s not adjustable to see how it handles the two different included coil heads which are a 1 ohm and a .5 ohm.
The .5 ohm has a larger air path in it and is touted as “suitable for mouth to lung inhale or direct lung inhale.” The 1 ohm has a smaller air path and is touted as “suitable for mouth inhale.”
I’m still trying to figure out the difference between “mouth to lung” and “mouth”. Perhaps they should call it the Clinton coil… “I didn’t inhale” 🙂
The tank itself has an airflow adjustment as well.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – 1/27/15 – THE INNOKIN MVP 3
This 30 watt device is capable of firing down to .4 ohms. It’s a little large, but it incorporates a 3800mAh internal power source that should have you vaping for days on a single charge.
The most noticeable difference between this and the prototype version I posted from China is the position of the USB charge port, which is now on the side as opposed to the bottom.
I personally love the integrated micro USB charge cable which makes this device a much more capable “device charger” even when you don’t have your cable with you. For those of you who need a charge, but can’t utilize the micro USB, there is still a full size USB output port on the bottom of the device.
Estimated street price on this will be around $80.00.
NEW IN THE QUEUE – 1/27/15 – THE JOYETECH DELTA II TANK
Joyetech joins the sub-ohm clearo tank game with their Delta II Tank. Their .5 ohm LVC (Liquid Valve Control) head incorporates a liquid control that allows you to adjust how much of the liquid ports are exposed. Of course it’s an easy adjustment to make, but not a convenient one as you need to access the coil head to make the adjustment.
An RBA head will also be available, but it’s not included in the box.
IMHO this is a sharp looking tank and I’m looking forward to giving her a vape.
FROM CASAA: New York State Vapers: Take Action now to oppose an Indoor Use Ban (AB 2595)
New York Vapers,
Nineteen New York Assembly members have co-sponsored a bill (AB 2595) that would deceptively redefine the state’s definition of “smoking” to include the “use of an electronic cigarette” for the purpose of including vaping in New York’s smoking law. Although this bill would provide an exemption for retail vapor stores, thousands of other businesses in the state would no longer be allowed to set their own indoor vaping policy.
Please take action now to oppose AB 2595 – Take Action
