    I have an EMS shipment in customs too and it has been there since Mar31 (today is Apr03). I am hoping that it just hasn't been updated yet, but who knows. It seems to me that Canada Post takes over the shiopment once it lands (as the EMS tracking number also works on Canada Post). I too, will...

    I could see the ecig industry going 'cartridge only' too. The PG in ecigs has never been the 'bone of contention'. The main issue is "How much nicotine is in a cartridge" and, "How much is contained in one puff". When it comes to other nicotine delivery systems, each one contains a finite...

    As a guinea pig myself, like many others on this forum, I can say that without a doubt, electronic cigarettes work as a smoking substitute. With access to ecigs, I think it is very easy for any smoker (light or heavy) to quit analogs entirely. We have ingredient lists for all of our liquids and...

    I have heard that Chantix (Champix) works to help people quit smoking, but many people are getting into car accidents.

    I would also like to point out that we do more damage to our lungs sitting in rush hour traffic, inhaling carbon monoxide from other vehicles, than we do by smoking tiny 'fog machines'.

    Well, I don't think that ecigarettes will be unavailable forever.. I just think that the people who make Nicorette gum or the people that manufacture analog death sticks want in on the action. I truly believe that big pharma will be the first ones with a legal ecigarette (and will reap all of...

    I was under the impression that as long as there is no nicotine involved, it doesn't qualify under the new HC regulations, but puff-puff-pass's post infers that even on their own, the dry atomizers are 'medical devices'.

    So, does that mean than even without any liquid at all, ecigs are class II medical devices?

    Well, I am with Sonnyinbc on this one. I have smoked for half of my life (I am 32 now) and never thought I would be able to quit. I enjoy smoking (as many of us do). Once I started esmoking, I never looked back. This means a lot too me, because I have lost loved ones from smoking and if this is...

    As a Canadian supplier, I can tell you that we are already taking steps to remain in the ecig business (even if that means not calling them ecigs anymore). I think that we all agree that these things work. We are not just a fly-by-night operation and will do our very best to stay in this...

    Health Canada puts foot down on electronic cigarettes

    From CBC News: "Health Canada is warning people not to use so-called "electronic smoking" products, and has instructed businesses not to promote or sell them until the government has evaluated their safety. "Persons importing, advertising or selling electronic cigarette products in Canada must...

    fox 5 ecig story tonight at 10:00

    Fox News is not news (but that is for another thread). As a supplier, I can see that government intervention is strongest in Hong Kong at the moment. Many shipments are being returned and it looks as though the rest of the world is currently putting the pressure on Hong Kong to prevent the...
