I thought I had diluted some 12mg down to about 9ish at one point but I'd accidentally just mixed two 12mg bottles and hit it at 120 watts. Never again. That one pull hurt more than any cigarette I ever smoked. But generally, yeah, my experience mirrors yours. The only reason I've gone up this high wattage wise is because the flavors I find I enjoy (mostly tobacco variants) don't seem to come out at the low end. My wife has a variety of fruit flavor stuff, mostly apple and sugary cereal imitations, that I find totally over powering just at 40 watts / 6mg.

"In this study, a high-nicotine device was defined as having levels at or above 18 mg/mL." I vape in the high 90 watt, low 100 watt range depending on device, but holy shit hitting a liquid with anything higher than 12mg/ml at that power is straight up painful. And while you certainly can find it online, the local shops I go to sell mostly in the 3mg and 6mg range. So yeah, if 18 or 25 isn't doing it for you, you almost have to go to cigarettes because vaping with liquid that strong at even moderate wattage is like having your throat scraped with a thousand tiny ice picks.

My college astronomy teacher told us, on our last day of class, you're always better off with an expensive pair of binoculars verses a cheap telescope. This was several years ago but he seemed to be of the opinion that if your budget was less than $200, you were better off with binoculars. He also pointed out that if your child loses interest in astronomy, binoculars have a wide variety of other uses.

Which only has one version and a single standardized desktop environment. Clearly multiple versions of the same OS are bad.

Name 1. I dare you. A major genre must be a genre of music, let's say, more than 10,000 people in their market (The United States) listen to.

No. Not even close. I have an XM system and the exact reason I have it is because the play lists are constantly in flux. Adding to the mix is that most stations have weekly radio shows that feature brand new (some of it without a label or release yet) music. An example if this is XM 82 The System's hosting of Armin van Buuren's A State of Trance. It doesn't get much fresher than the music he plays.

I'm sorry there isn't an entire channel devoted to speed metal, or 70's speed metal, or 70's speed metal by bands whose members included a man named Bart. Holy crap how can people be this picky?

I assume you're also aware of the button on most SR receivers that forces you at gunpoint to listen to the stations you don't like (/sarcasm). Here's something you might also not be aware of : A LOT of people like that sort of music and have SR to listen to it on a nationwide, commercial free basis.

All of four XM stations have commercials. They will be gone once their contract with Clear Channel expires.

Most of the stations I listen to have few, if any, DJs. The DJ's name and the name of the program (For example The XMU After School Special With Toby) while she's talking and the instant the song starts the information changes. Most receivers also have the capacity to remember song names, so you can recall them later.

Oh, I forgot, I'm on slashdot where everything should be free and Economics is a dirty word. You're a real peach there Anonymous Coward - OH MY GOD A FEE HOW DAAAARE THEY BWAAAAAAAAAAAAA ADS TOO?!!?!? You can't have it both ways.

When I think of your post, I think this:
