For my friends in Canada… Bill 45 Protest Rally Dec 5, 2015 – A More Detailed Look
Thanks for sending this to me Jason Schwager, Owner, The Digital Smoker…
In protest of Bill 45, Schedule 3, hundreds of people gathered at Queen’s Park on December 5, 2015.
Our complaint is that Bill 45 will destroy the vaping industry and hamper vapers and potential new users to such a degree that many will return to tobacco.
We demand fair, reasonable, evidence-based legislation created in cooperation with the existing industry.We hope this video is viewed by as many Ontario MPPs as possible, so please share!
Take your tablet or laptop to their office and show them yourself!This is a long 1st cut that we have rushed out to keep this weekend’s rally fresh in the MPPs minds.
We will be releasing a final cut over the next few days as we get more time for editing.

THE INNOKIN ENDURA
In this video, we add to the stocking, we take a full look at the Endura, and we kick off a new contest.
IMPORTANT!!!
This is the longest review I’ve done all year on the simplest product I’ve looked at, but there IS a reason for it.
I’ve done things a little different in this video. I’m not necessarily talking to you the vaper, for this one, I want to talk to smokers.
So I have a request… If you have friends or family members who still smoke and have been considering vaping, PLEASE invite them to watch this video. Even if the smoker in your life HASN’T considered vaping, invite them too!!!
I think there is some helpful information in here for a simple, yet important product that is a perfect first device for a smoker.
Thank you so much!
Oh and at 51:55 I say, “I stopped vaping in 2009” Clearly that was supposed to be “I stopped smoking in 2009”. Oops.

The Post Review Follow-up:
- 12/4/15 – My review unit came already supporting TI and SS temp control wires, however, they may need to be added to yours. There used to be a charge for this, however they are now provided for free. Why the mod doesn’t come already supporting them is another thumbs down point. Here’s how you do it from Smok:
Connect your x cube mini with smart BEC, then click the right corner “setting” icon, then choose the last “firmware upgrade” option, then you can find the “Ti wire temp control activation” and “stainless steel wire temp control activation”, just click the ” activate ” to activate the features.
- 12/4/15 – The BLE feature in the settings menu of the SMOK Smat Bec software will turn off the Bluetooth feature after the number of minutes you have it set for. This will conserve battery life in the event you forget to turn it off and are no longer using it.
- 12/4/15 – The initial resistance setting can be used to quickly vape a “hot” atomizer in temp control. If you know your atomizer’s resistance at room temp, you can use this feature to prevent waiting for it to cool down prior to using it.
- 12/8/15 – Looks like they listened to my issue with the delay. They’ve released a new version of the firmware which addresses this issue:
V1.030 – IMPROVED FEATURE
1. Improved vaping delay,you can enjoy vaping instantly once you fire the button .
2. Enhanced vaping experience on TC mode with continuous vapor.
You can find the firmware update HERE.

TIME TO TRY DIY…
My new “lab” is ready to go. Will I be able to make tasty flavors or will I throw up all over myself? 😉 Time to try my hand at DIY. Someone told me that mixing liquids isn’t like mixing music. DAMN!
If anyone has any additional hours in the day they can send me, please let me know!!
Figured now would be a good time to take a photo as it will probably never be this neat and tidy again.
Special shout out and a big THANK YOU to Jeannie Kerswill & Jennifer Jarvis for the assistance here.
Jennifer is writing a DIY section for TasteYourJuice.com which is something that’s been sorely missing from the site.
I should vape my first creation live on cam so you all get to see the look of horror on my face! LOL!!!!
A PROPOSAL – AN INDUSTRY WIDE COLOR CODING STANDARD FOR COIL HEADS
I’ve seen many coil heads with many different colored o-rings and packaging. Some companies have adopted internal standards, but I really think the standards should be industry wide. I think this important for those who can’t see the tiny laser inscriptions on the heads themselves which sometimes indicates the coil material. Also those who have 20 (use your own number) loose coil heads sitting in front of them with lost or tossed out packaging.
What I was thinking…
- Ti – Yellow
- NI – Red
- SS – Blue (a shade easily distinguishable from black)
- Kanthal – Black
Why these color selections?
The brighter colors are a warning and indicate TC coils which could potentially produce harmful byproducts when overheated. Dimmer… Blue, to indicate a coil that could be used as a TC or standard wattage coil. Black… No TC.
We can even use pink once the new Greekmantium coil heads become available. 😉
Regardless of what colors are selected, it needs to be an industry wide standard adopted and supported by all manufacturers. IMHO, that is what’s most important.
Yes, I’m well aware that this won’t help the color blind, or the blind blind for that matter. We’ll need another solution for them. Perhaps easy to feel “pips” on the head to indicate the material.
I would really like to see the major manufacturers such as Innokin, Kanger, Aspire, and Joyetech get on board and adopt some kind of standard here.
FOR A FRIEND IN CANADA…
I had a… put my head in my hands, shake it back and forth and say to myself, “oh God” moment today.
What does Bill 44 do?
In addition to making it harder for smokers to find, try, and use a potentially life saving device… it does this…
I’m so scared I’m gonna loose my house, what kind of future will be able to offer my daughter?
I’m disgusted. I’m sick to my stomach. I feel helpless.
Please share with your local backward-minded, truth hiding, fear mongering, pocket lining politician.
To my friend and all others in similar situations I wish you the best. Stay strong & keep fighting.

The review for this one is going to have to wait for the new SXi Q software which is coming in December. This software is supposed to give you the ability to change individual vape curves and save them in 5 presets.
More from VariTube (supplying vendor):
The New mini will bring more wire options, new processor, more accurate control, new UI, and the ability to dial in your own vape curve.
The SXmini ML Class is designed especially for the professional and high end vapers. This device is powered by the YiHi SX350J-V2 processor which is one of the most advanced boards in the vaping industry at this moment. Precise TC, upgradable, Graphic user interface operation, sub-ohm capability, etc. The SXmini ML Class is an extremely potent device with classic design, to provide a balance of power and convenience.
