Good afternoon, gloop and Zazie.
HEADS UP - NEWS - UPDATES! (When we know, you'll know!)
Dear Members,
Last July, CASAA reached out to our members and allies with an urgent plea for funding. We spent the summer and into the fall approaching potential donors, but fell short of our goal. In turn, CASAA continued cutting costs to the point that we were no longer able to support our small staff of two paid employees. Since August of 2024, CASAA is completely run by volunteers. We have secured funding to enable us to continue our legislative advocacy efforts until August of this year. But beyond that, we do not expect enough future support to continue in any meaningful way.
It is with mixed emotions that we are taking this opportunity to announce that 2025 will be CASAA’s last year of active engagements. While we will be ceasing our legislative advocacy at the end of August, our website, CASAA.org, remains a valuable educational resource documenting the history of vaping, explaining tobacco harm reduction, and celebrating the consumer-led revolution in adoption of safer nicotine products. CASAA will use some of our remaining funds to keep the website active, although we anticipate transforming it into a legacy site. This means that information contained on the site will be pared down so that the site will require little maintenance.
Although we have gratefully received feedback from fellow advocates and industry leaders praising our efforts and noting the significance of our role in the consumer-led tobacco harm reduction movement, those accolades are rarely accompanied by financial support. For the better part of a decade, CASAA has articulated this dissonance by saying that it is absolutely appropriate for businesses to devote most or all of their advocacy budget to state and national trade groups.
While industry support has made up a significant portion of our funding, it was never expected that shops and manufacturers would pay for everything. Being supported by our consumer membership has allowed us to remain independent in our policy positions and advocacy messages that support affordable and legal access to safer alternatives to smoking. But that independence is fragile, and we experienced the consequences from bucking the narrative of the largest tobacco companies when we opposed policies that ban sales of unauthorized products -- products that still make up more than 90% of the safer nicotine market.
Since 2009, CASAA has been a tireless voice of and for consumers who switched away from combustion to safer, smoke-free nicotine products. We have done this work on a shoestring, which is a testament to the power of our stories. CASAA has represented our members in city halls, state legislatures, and federal regulatory bodies, as well as shared the consumer view at professional conferences and in the media. We have brought to our work the heart and soul that only comes from genuine grassroots advocacy. Consmers are being recognized as a vital part of the debate over the responsible regulation of less risky tobacco and nicotine products, which is a pillar of CASAA’s mission.
We are not making this announcement from a place of desperation or futility. This is not the end, but merely a step in the evolution of consumers’ awareness, acceptance, and access to safer nicotine products and a healthier future.
Thank you for standing up for tobacco harm reduction!
Sincerely,
Alex Clark, Executive Director, CASAA

Thanks to Healthcabin for sending me this product to review!
Check it out on their website: https://www.healthcabin.net/vaporesso-eco-nano-2-pod-system-kit-p/30033.html
Disclaimer: This review is my own thoughts and I am not associated with anyone at Healthcabin, nor am I being paid to write this review.
In the Box:
- 1pc Eco Nano 2 Battery
- 1pc Eco Nano 0.6ohm Mesh Pod (Pre-Installed)
- 1pc User Manual
Specs:
- Brand: Vaporesso
- Dimensions: 44.718.077.0mm
- Pod Capacity: 6ml
- Resistance: 0.6ohm / 0.8ohm / 1.2ohm
- Battery Capacity: 1000mAh
- Charging: Type-C, 1A
- Compatible with: ECO NANO Cartridge 0.8ohm/1.2ohm/0.6ohm
Design
The Vaporesso ECO Nano 2 sticks to the compact and minimalist design that made the original Eco Nano such a solid choice. However, there are some nice quality-of-life upgrades here. The most noticeable change is the new battery level indicator on the front, making it much easier to check how much charge you have left at a glance. It still keeps its sleek and pocket-friendly build, which is great for vapers who want something discreet yet reliable.
Pods
One of the standout features of the Eco Nano 2 is its impressive e-liquid capacity. The pod holds a generous 6ml which is significantly more than the standard 2ml most refillable pods offer. That extra capacity means a lot less refilling, making it perfect if you’re used to disposables and want something more convenient.The device comes pre-installed with a 0.6 ohm mesh pod that delivers a bit more vapor and flavor compared to the original Eco Nano’s 0.8 ohm pod. If you’re after a tighter mouth-to-lung draw, Vaporesso now also offers a 1.2 ohm pod option giving you three resistance levels to choose from to suit your style.
Performance
If flavor is what you're after, this device delivers in a big way. The mesh coil technology inside these pods really brings out the best in your e-liquids, providing rich and accurate flavors with every puff. Whether you're using the 0.6ohm pod for a slightly airier draw or the 1.2ohm for a tight MTL hit, the consistency is outstanding. The draw is smooth and satisfying, making it feel like an effortless transition for people moving away from disposables.Battery life is solid with the 1000mAh capacity, easily lasting a full day or more depending on usage. The Type-C charging ensures that when you do need to recharge, it’s quick and convenient.
Pros
✔ Large 6ml pod capacity – less frequent refilling✔ Excellent flavor from the new 0.6ohm mesh pod
✔ Battery indicator on the front – a much-needed improvement
✔ Three pod resistance options (0.6ohm, 0.8ohm, and 1.2ohm)
✔ Compact and lightweight design
✔ Great MTL draw that feels natural and satisfying
Cons
No airflow adjustment – would be nice for more customization No spare pod in the box – having an extra pod included would’ve been great
Verdict
The Vaporesso ECO Nano 2 is easily one of my favorite pod devices right now. It takes everything that worked in the original and refines it with better visibility on battery life, a new 0.6ohm pod, and a much larger e-liquid capacity. If you’re someone still using disposables and looking for an easy, hassle-free transition to a refillable device, this is a fantastic option. Great flavor, great battery life, and minimal maintenance. Highly recommended!Another big thanks to Healthcabin for sending me this device to review. I had an absolute blast trying this!
