1) I was a big fan of Five Pawns. No question the flavors were outstanding. However, as if the Cloud9 fiasco wasn't enough, your own test results posted in your blog indicate VERY high levels of AP, WELL BEYOND what's considered safe by scientists that have been studying it for years. Since you can't dispute your own test results, what do you have to say about the VERY unsafe levels in your own results?
2) You know this is as easy of a question you'll get on this topic. Hopefully you can provide a better answer than the unbelievably poor blog post response, now that you've had plenty of time to think about it. Besides a handful of BS and contradictory statements, you flat out lied to your customers when asked whether your liquids contained any DA/AP. You/your company rep has publicly stated that never happened, but I happen to be one of those people with such an email stating NO DA/AP in your liquids. One of your reps has even been caught lying when called on a popular podcast (I'm sure you've heard that one too).
3) What are your future plans for providing your customers a new revision of current flavors that do not contain any DA/AP? Also, will you be providing test results to back up those claims, assuming you move forward with DA/AP free liquids?
4) One response on your blog post mentioned "PG-alternative". What does that have to do with DA/AP? Are you trying to indicate that not only is there no PG, but also no DA/AP?
The world is becoming more and more educated about the dangers of DA/AP, and the trend seems to be that retailers are asking for test results, and when they don't get them, they're testing juices themselves. The Cloud9 fisaco is JUST THE BEGINNING of your troubles. Don't think others won't be testing your liquids and publishing the results. You need a solution NOW - at least a publicly stated plan, and then proper execution of that plan.
Have you considered that, assuming the FDA allows open vapor products to be sold, the FDA will not allow the sale of any liquids containing unsafe levels of DA/AP? There goes most of your product line.
I'm sure you've taken a financial hit from lower sales, and returns from retailers that no longer carry your product. That's probably why you're surfacing here how. Well, this is your chance to do damage control. I'm eager to hear your response, and I'm sure many others are as well.
