The Weekly WTF? - 01/08/14


Each week I will address something from the week that just makes me say WTF?... Most times it will be a text update like this but I do occasionally want to do a video.

So what have I decided on for the first Weekly WTF? Something from the associated press of course.

We all know that there is a lot of press for and against ecigs, mods and vapers... That is for sure but really, WTF?

Full story here: Hands off my e-cigarette! New vaporizer comes with biometric lock

I suppose people are trying to be innovative and I applaud them for that, but a biometric scanner on an ego really? A non vari volt ego?

"You know that annoying moment you have sometimes when you put a cigarette down and someone else picks it up from the ashtray to start puffing away on your deathstick? Not really? Well, what about with the electronic variety?"
I don't recall putting my ego in an ashtray because it is not on fire, and people try my mod all the time, not just randomly when I am not looking. One of the easiest ways to let some one know what vaping is all about is to let them try. Maybe this will be good for people with kids... but the biometric scanner will not stop them from unscrewing the tank and getting to the eliquid... And if you need a biometric lock to keep your kid from getting to your ecig, my friend you have bigger problems.

"On Tuesday, e-cigarette company Vapor Corp. unveiled a new, higher-tech functionality to electronic smoking with a solution to something that may or may not be an actual problem: biometric security."
Wow, even the associated press can realize that this is a problem that, well isn't a problem at all!

Well this has been he first Weekly WTF? See you next week for the next one...
