Vaping in a Post Pandemic World

Published

It’s been a good long while since we’ve written about the subject of vaping. Almost two years of a long while, to be exact. And in that article, we wrote about vaping all around the globe. By necessity, we have to now take our focus to the here and now, where our spaces to move about are, at least temporarily, much more limited.

Let’s take a good long hard look at how the world of vaping has changed in the year 2020. Here are some of the things we have observed.

Time To Order Online

Because of increasing legal issues, as well as, of course, the current pandemic situation, it’s pretty hard to find a brick and mortar vape store open to the public these days. And honestly, if you can even find one, it’s probably going to be pretty sketchy and not big on things like warranties and customer service, to say the least!

It’s much better to get your vape kits juices and supplies etc. at a reliable and confidence-inspiring online vape store where you can pay by credit card and have some recourse in the worst of circumstances. Also, the selection, as it has always been, will be way better online.

Also obviously, ordering online is generally a whole lot more discreet than having to physically go somewhere.

Vaping Controversy in 2020

We aren’t going to pull punches with this one. Vaping all over the world, especially in places like Sinagpore, Hong Kong, and in the United States of America, is facing legal challenges like never before.

It is not the scope or intent of this article to try and act as or take the place of medical professionals in any way shape or form. There is one thing we would like to bring to the reader’s attention, however. It’s pretty curious how the current trend of anti-vaping legislation aims for a “nicotine-free” world, when tobacco companies the world over seem to be getting a pass yet again.

The jury is still out, scientifically speaking, regarding the possible risks and benefits of vaping as compared to smoking. The health detriments due to smoking traditional cigarettes, however, are well-known and quite severe. It can only be hoped that at least further legislation could be made a but more equitable. It seems pretty evident that vaping is being attacked specifically because of its relative newness and its potential to erode the traditional tobacco industry more than out of any genuine concern for public health.

Conclusions

It looks like in the long-term, vaping is here to stay, and we hope that it doesn’t wind up going underground. It would be much better to have a regulated industry for vaping that adds to public coffers via taxes, is controlled and adheres to best industry practices in a strict fashion. We believe this is not too much to hope for.

2020 has been a tough year for all of us. Some of us are glad to have vaping as an option to help us get through these tough times.

7 Tips for Organising an Amazing NYC Bachelor Party

Published

on

downtown 188848 640

They call New York the city that never sleeps, and if that doesn’t sound like the perfect place to host a bachelor party, we don’t know what does! If you have ever attended a bachelor party, then you know just how fun and crazy they can be, but if you have never had to deal with organizing such an event, you might be unaware of just how much planning it takes to achieve the perfect experience for everybody.

With this in mind, here are seven of the best tips for organizing an NYC bachelor party, to ensure that your event is one that lives long in the memory!

Hire A Party Bus

Nothing cramps the style more than having to go from place to place on the subway or in a train of cabs. If you want to provide that unique experience for your groom to be, then the best way to do it is by hiring party bus rental NYC from Bergenlimo. The party can go from club to club and place to place without having to stop in between, as your transport is a destination all by itself!

Determine The Guest List

A bachelor party might seem casual and ‘loose’, but it actually takes a lot of planning and separate reservations depending on how many spots you are intending to hit. To make sure everything goes to plan, you need to establish the numbers you are going to be working with right off the bat by getting everyone to RSVP.

Set The Date Early

Get the preferred dates for your bachelor party or weekend settled early, as this will give your potential guests plenty of time to work things out with employment and travel if time needs to be taken off to get to NYC.

Pick Locations Beforehand

New York is a very busy place! You can’t always guarantee that the clubs, restaurants and activities you want to visit will be available to just walk in to, so to avoid disappointment on the day you should always make reservations well in advance, especially if your party number is large.

Consider The Groom’s Preferences

Just like planning any party, it can be tempting to pick bachelor party themes and activities that you like, rather than actually thinking about what the guest of honor likes instead. Make sure that you consider what the groom’s favorites are, and tailor the bachelor party experience to that. Who is his favorite NYC sports team? What are his favorite foods? Etc.

Be Mindful Of Budget

Expenses in NYC can stack up pretty quickly, and before you know it you are blowing hundreds of dollars on just one small thing. When planning your bachelor party route and activities, keep in mind that not everybody attending will be working with the same budget.

Don’t Try To Do Too Much

The truth is that organized fun can very quickly turn into no fun at all! Try not to turn into a teacher chaperoning a school trip, ferrying your charges from one place to another. Don’t plan too many activities, and just like the experience unfold in a natural way.

How To Convert A Betting Bonus Into Cash

Published

on

man wearing gray blazer 838413

In the game of online betting, many surprises exist. You get a free bonus to bet on your favorite casino games and sports to win cash. You study the game, and then you make your stake. What next? You win a lot of money even while traveling.

When this happens, you feel great and look like a real winner. You made money out of nothing. But how do you convert a betting bonus into real cash in your gaming account?

Step 1: Open an account on an online betting site

To get the best sign-up bonus betting, look for the betting platform. Once you review and choose what will work best for you, create an account and make the minimum deposit required for that betting account.

How much bonus do you get to receive? It varies based on your online betting site and its service packages. The most popular is the percentage of the initial deposit amount you made into your newly created betting account. Understand the minimum and the maximum number of bets on the report before making the initial deposit.

Step 2: Place a bet through your betting portal

The next step after creating an account is to place a bet. After making the initial deposit, the betting site will offer you bonus cash to bet. If you keep this free money in your account, it will not yield any result. So, take the risk and start placing your bet. But, wait a minute!

Don’t just place any bet just because you have bonus cash for betting. Select the popular games you understand and can mostly win at. This is not the time for trying online casinos and sports games you are not familiar with, except you want to play to learn.

Step 3: Observe, Study and Play to Win

The winning game always follows three rules: observe, study, and play to win. The best players have a game plan through which they get consistent wins. Once you select a familiar and popular game to bet on, the next step is to observe, study and then play. The odds of losing are high if you don’t know what you are doing.

However, you reduce the odds of losing when you observe, study, and play. With just a little luck on your side, your bonus bet will rock, and you will win a lot of cash in your game account. After winning, take some time to celebrate before moving forward to the next game. You did it! You made a cash out of nothing!
