FDA approved ecig??? - Page 6 - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

I think what these guys are doing, and what some of us are missing here...is that he is stating "FDA Approved". In a court of law, unless he says WHAT specifically is approved, he can get away with saying his application was approved. Therefore, any "misunderstandings" or interpretations are liable to only those that assumed he meant his products. Even if he says "Approved as medical device" and only *meant* his application was approved...its complicated but none the less aggravating.

It sucks everything is so technical these days, it leaves wayyy too many loopholes, and ways to trick the public.

Im glad people are doing their part to stand up to these word-players! Thanks guys!

**The Elektric Blue Electronic Cigarette is FDA Approved as a medical device. This product does contain nicotine which has been proven to be highly addictive. This product may not be used by individuals under the age of 18.

How do you mean Jepp? by saying "The Elektric Blue Electronic Cigarette is FDA Approved" he's not actually saying his electronic cigarette?

They have now changed it to FDA registered instead of approved......

Hmmm, they did that on the main page, but the header on the first FAQ page is "*FDA Approved as a Medical Device*".

They also claim "The vapor contains mostly water, and trace elements of nicotine and 'propylene glycol.'" What is the likelihood that this product produces a vapor that is "mostly water"... I can sympathize with the desire to downplay the PG given public knee-jerk reactions but not with lying to achieve that. (Or do they really not know???)

I'm a big time noob to this, but is it possible that someone would have set up that site in order to purposely give e-cigs a bad name? Perhaps to make the FDA look better? Just a thought. We see this in politics all the time.

Gee, that sounds exactly like my first attempt with the ecig from "smoke assasin" (did they change there name??) However it did last a whole 10 minutes before it died a total death, never to be revived again and I thought maybe if i got one that really worked i might like it. I found this forum, started vaping in august and never looked back. It all started with the words "FREE" and "a five pack of cartridges are equivilent to a WHOLE CARTON" of regular cigs........RIGHT. Just part of the normal learning curve it seems....

If you go on alibaba.com you will see hundreds of Chinese suppliers claiming the same thing. I emailed joyetech and they told me that as of yet there are no valid claims of this sort.
