VPLive Vape Team Episode #100: Advocacy in the Field

On VPLive Vape Team Episode #100: "Advocacy in the Field" - With so many legislative battles happening across the country, the need for strategic e-cig advocacy has never been greater.

We had an idea: what if vapers attending local hearings made on-the-scene videos to let us know what their legislation said, who showed up, who spoke, what the result was and what future action (if any) is needed? These in-the-field perspectives can better inform us, and serve as examples to learn from.nnIn the "New Vapers Corner" Dimi and James give the 'mythbusters' treatment to the question: do vapers newly getting into RBA's need to use mechanical mods?
