    FDA Who will survive the FDA Regs?

    This doping or what ever you call apparently doesn't work. It is an out right scam to associate nicotine with mainstream drugs legal or not. In the 50's and 60's when 44% of the adult population smoked they didn't need doping. It's 20% and less. Still dropping as we speak. If nicotine is so...

    Electronic cigarettes: The nicotyrine hypothesis.

    This freebase thing gets to much credit. I started smoking regularly in the early 70's. It is my experience that what ever is addicting in the smoke didn't need any boosting. If one studies a little history one would realize the very first cigarette sold was a instrument to freebase tobacco...

    E-cigarettes do not cause cancer in important lab test.

    . Unfortunately your right. Many of the young do not remember when BT had a lot of good science on their side. Yes that's right folks. It was popular opinion that swayed the courts and congress not, the actual science. The smear campaign and and cult of anti-smoking really started steam rolling...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    CE4's were designed for basic ego style battery and typically ran from 2.1 to 2.5 ohms at between roughly 5-6 watts. Constraints built into ce4's such as wire gauge and coil circumference limited wicking capacity which grossly over exaggerates heat issues. People by DIY'ing over came some issues...

    New studies find carcinogens in vg and pg at high temps, even in tootle puffers

    Just another study that proves nothing. Our juice should never reach 450 F. Period. The coils may very well get that hot or hotter. The juice should not. VG may be problematic due to the fact it's boiling point is north of 550 F. PG boils at about 360 F. The residual water in the juice at 212...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    Of course it's retro active. Do you know how tobacco and alcohol taxes are collected? Buy the time their ready for retail sale the taxes have already been paid at the wholesale level. When a retail establishment buys the product the taxes have been rolled into the wholesale cost. Retailers do...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    The metal used to make our devices is a processed commodity. It is not regulated until it is sold or distributed as a vaping device. I do not believe tobacco leaf cured or not is regulated as a finished tobacco product. Many growers if not all prepare their crops for sale. This involves...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    I'll bet you a donut BT buys it as a raw material. On the other hand if sold in lower ready to use doses mixed with various ratios of PG/VG that just needs flavoring if it is wanted it would be a accessory and or component. At 100 mg per ml more or less it is not suitable for use in ENDS...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    How is it being regulated other than as a pharmaceutical or in use in a ENDS product made for sale or distribution? My analogy being anyone can get tobacco seeds and grow tobacco. Any one can carve their own tobacco pipe.Any one can buy of the shelf components and make their own vaping device...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    The reason they are not going to regulate nicotine is the same reason they didn't regulate raw tobacco leaf prior to vaping. To keep the manufacturing costs low and allow more room for taxation at the finished product end. If raw tobacco leaf was regulated the same way cigarettes are, the cost...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    Pure nicotine was regulated as a pesticide and for purity,health and,safety. never as a tobacco product. Tobacco and everything in it is a raw material. Tobacco products are regulated not,the tobacco itself. When used in smoking cessation it is regulated as a medical device and or medicine. Most...

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    The reason nicotine will not be regulated is because it is a raw material. In the southern states growing tobacco is a family tradition. cigarettes are generally cheaper there not only because it is a important cash crop but, the population knows how to process it and make their own product...
