    Suppliers here in Canada

    Thanks, Concat. The trouble is that some people don't know what they're doing. Frankly, even with the people that do know what they're doing, I would rather err on the side of caution. I certainly wouldn't want a newbie to wander in, see this thread, get the idea that 100mg is normal or safe to...

    Suppliers here in Canada

    We've heard of people storing it in all manner of ways, hon...with varying success. We've heard of people vaping year-old liquid too, but goodness only knows what the hell it tastes like, lol. Given what we know of how nicotine comes to the fore, taste-wise, over time...no matter how it's...

    Suppliers here in Canada

    OK, I can't ignore this thread any longer. Folks, 100mg strength liquids are not safe. Did you know that a mere 10 to 12 drops of liquid at that level, absorbed through the skin, are enough to kill an adult human? An accidental spill could easily happen, and nothing is worth risking your life...

    Some pretty disturbing numbers on tobacco tax

    Hi kalvinf! Fortunately for us...such a spin wouldn't work. Vaping e-juice with nicotine via e-cigs is already scientifically, clinically proven to be no more harmful than drinking caffeinated coffe. The science on nicotine is long, looooooong past any questioning. We know that at the levels...

    Some pretty disturbing numbers on tobacco tax

    Hi ElProximo! I agree that there are some savings involved when someone dies younger. That said, I don't agree that it's more cost-effective in an overall sense. Yes, there are some medical costs incurred by a longer-lived population. But it's not just about the medical costs on either side...

    HAs any one tried auto ego batteries

    Hi wood! When I began vaping, I had automatic Joye 510's. As a newbie, the aesthetic appeal was very important to me. They looked & felt just like a cigarette - & with the automatic action, the usage felt more like smoking too. Never had any problem with them, and no juice ever got into the...

    Some pretty disturbing numbers on tobacco tax

    It's worth pointing out that many Canadian smokers pay no tobacco tax at all, due to the widespread, ever-increasing ease of access to tax-free 'native' cigarettes. But let's be clear on the following point: a lucrative, never-ending revenue stream from tobacco tax is not some sort of...

    BIIIGGGG news, FDA is basically ending the fight with ecigs!

    Having an opinion is nothing to apologize for, Switched: if one member personally attacked another member, that would call for an apology - but having an opinion, no. Anyway, I never said that e-liquid regulation wouldn't affect manufacturers or suppliers. (In fact I think it will affect them...

    BIIIGGGG news, FDA is basically ending the fight with ecigs!

    You're welcome to your opinion, Switched. But don't mistake reasoned analysis & critical thinking for blind optimism. If I'm optimistic, it's because there is objective reason to be. And I stand by my earlier post in its entirety. To Jay...thanks for the reply. I'll PM you with a related...

    BIIIGGGG news, FDA is basically ending the fight with ecigs!

    I just want to say that I respectfully disagree with nearly everything in this post. Nothing personal, but I feel very strongly that Canadian vapers reading this thread should not be unduly discouraged by unfounded pessimism. It is not a given at all that vaping will ever be taxed at all...

    Schedule F (Food & Drug Regulations): Nicotine

    Hey everyone! Just wanted to let you know that we got an email today from the lawyers, asking if we'd be free to meet with them this week. Yay!!! We are also absolutely thrilled with the fact that today, the FDA admitted final defeat on this issue down in the States. Just makes our case...

    D.i.y juice

    I appreciate your points, AllYourBase. In my view though, the price differences we're talking about are negligible, & aren't the issue. The issue is: do you really want to buy large bottles of something that you may dislike or even hate from the first puff, on the off chance that you might...

    Funny little story for you all

    Interesting story, Crow79. Though in all fairness...a bar isn't a public place. It's private property & that means they get to make the rules. Whether it's "no shirt, no shoes, no service" - or "no vaping." There's no law against going shirtless or shoeless, or vaping either - but a place...

    D.i.y juice

    I appreciate the kind words, AllYourBase. That said, I don't advise buying 1oz (30mL) bottles of any flavouring that you haven't tried first. I've learned through long experience that sometimes flavours can smell one way, but taste very different when vaped. A few times in the past, I've...

    Schedule F (Food & Drug Regulations): Nicotine

    Hi Katmandu & gadelson! Katmandu, I'll PM you my response. I don't particularly want to give HC ideas by theorizing on what they might try against us, lol. --- To answer your question gadelson, the language of the suit will be written by our legal counsel. It would have to be, lol...

    Schedule F (Food & Drug Regulations): Nicotine

    Ian, I understand your impatience. I share in it at times. But please try to be patient. If I had a specific time & date in place, I'd have shared it already. I don't have that yet. But I promise you, we are maintaining a rich, ongoing dialogue online - which is pretty generous, considering...

    Schedule F (Food & Drug Regulations): Nicotine

    Ian, under what is commonly known as the English Rule, the losing party (in this case, HC) pays the winning party's legal fees, as well as any other court costs. We'll be fine, hon. P.S. This was hardly a one-off message expressing mild interest. As I said in post #50, despite not yet having...
