I just got a shipment of DSE-901b. The U-boats are not getting them all yet!

It's illegal to buy prescription pain killers without a prescription too.... but you can order them online and have them shipped to your door.... Marijuana is illegal, and not only can I buy it from just about anyone I see in public, I can grow it.... I can order seeds online and have them shipped to my door... I can buy "magic" mushroom spore kits online, viagra, illegal ammunition, I can even order an online prostitute if I want! That's illegal too! Don't get me wrong, I haven't done any of these things (well maybe except for the first part of the second thing)... :P But I have heard of people doing all these things and suffering no ill-effect. People always find a way. I'm not too worried.

I am. I don't want to be FORCED to make my own liquids, scramble to find a replacement atomizer, never use the illegal device in public, etc. I want it legal. And if manufacturers had followed protocol, the uncertainty would be gone now and we'd either be e-smoking forever -- or never have heard of them.

If the mass market is taken away, it's over .. for me and many others.

Flooding the market and getting as many people on board (e smoking ) would help greatly. Some how people would see it as more legitimate if more people used these devices

1
Define your movement. Start by thinking about what issues will and won't be addressed by your movement. Try to focus on a certain issue or even write up a kind of list of items or "manifesto" you can use while growing your group.
Step
2
Get body. Reach out to others, whether through flyers, word of mouth, sponsorship, or public events. Get a number of people in your court and let the ball keep rolling.
Step
3
Find ways of keeping in touch. Use email, phone lists, or regular meetings to keep your members on the same page.
Step
4
Delegate. Find some way to appoint committees to handle the specific tasks of the group. If your grassroots group grows into something that could be called a "movement", it's too big for one person to be in charge of everything. Let smaller groups move within the larger body of the movement to draft actions or address specific concerns.
Step
5
When you have achieved critical mass, make your presence known. Whether through the Internet, local government, the print media, or other venues, show the world that you exist to get publicity for your causes and to attract others to your side.

Guess I better get started designing T-shirts, posters and how about "Have you joined the smoking revolution" for a slogan.

What bugs me was the language the FDA used, that THEY have determined electronic cigarettes are illegal. It's kind of scary when an agency of the government can just make up a law without our elected representatives having a say. I thought this was the way our government was supposed to work. We elect representatives, and they make laws. I know this is nothing new, but that language really stood out to me and reminded me how far we've come from the founding of this country.
