    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Alright, silly me - the email addresses for those senior information programmers were included in the reply from the CBC Ombudsman. He cc'ed the reply to them when he wrote to me. Well, 2 days later, and still nothing on the CBC. 9 days have now passed, with not even the most token of reports...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Hi folks! OK I just got an email from the CBC Ombudsman, which reads as follows: --- Dear Ms. [my last name]: The CBC's Office of the Ombudsman is independent of CBC program management and thus has no say in day-to-day programming decisions. However, I have shared your e-mail with...

    Happy Vapers Attys

    Hmmm...which kind of atties specifically did you order from Happy Vaper? He's got quite a variety, including the Cisco LR 306 ones (which people speak very highly of). I only use cartomizers myself - so I can't speak to separate atomizers. But I gather that just like with cartos, sometimes a...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    I appreciate the reply Rob, as always. However I must once more disagree. I haven't seen anyone explain how a Canadian government would convincingly explain a sin-tax on vaping before their respective House, or to the people at large. The only argument I've heard that comes close is "lost...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Hi again Rob. I appreciate your recent response, and wish to clarify my own. Please know that I consider you a dear friend, fellow vaper & one of the best suppliers in all of Canada. You & Jack all the way! I just felt like some of the reactions to this good news were unfairly negative &...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Rob...standing up for what is right is never an exercise in futility. It may appear futile sometimes, but it's not. The very worst thing we can do is give up without a fight. And I continue to be baffled by the apathy & cynicism I'm seeing from some in the vaping community. Especially at this...

    Thank you Nuck, and happiest of vaping & holidays to you! Just had to quote your lovely post (I really appreciated it) and hug you too.

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Thank you Nuck & Neon! Yeah!! Switched, I love you man - and I appreciate the conciliatory nature of the quote from Carl Philips that you posted in post #14 of this thread. I don't wish to be overly argumentative, especially in this merry time of year (a time of goodwill, peace & joy). But...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    dk2, I totally agree with what you had to say. Ditto your post, Mathew. I would add triacetin to the list of safe e-juice ingredients though, dk2. It's GRAS, food-safe, a common flavour carrier, and part of the glycerin family. Inhalation tests have shown no outstanding issues. PG, VG &...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Greg - like you, I certainly hope they will report on this soon enough. But as to the notion of the CBC "being too busy" reporting on other stuff...I don't at all follow. This is a huge news story. U.S. sources were already reporting on it yesterday. Nasdaq & BusinessWeek are not...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Agreed, V.I.! Everyone, I copy & pasted my request for CBC to wake up & report on this three times. Once as a question re: their website, then as a question re: the CBC News Network, then a third time as a complaint re: their website. Alas I meant to share it with you here but I accidentally...

    CBC Asleep at the Wheel: HASN'T Reported on Historic FDA Loss over E-Cigs!!

    Hey there fellow Canadians! OK it's currently 1:30am EST, December 8th 2010. Almost 12 hours have passed since Nasdaq.com reported yesterday on the historic ruling against the FDA, which ruled 3 to 0 (unanimously!!!! ) that the FDA does not have the authority to classify e-cigs as drugs or...

    SE, NJoy vs FDA -- Discussion

    Yaaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! This wonderful news is the best x-mas gift we could've hoped for. We're in Canada, but this is an excellent precedent that will radically strengthen our efforts here in Canada & those across the globe to see vaping continue & become more conspicuously available. Many...

    Smoking Everywhere (RN 4081)

    Well DemonCleaner...while I personally would not want to use the 100 mAh mini in this kit (a now-outdated model with a very short battery life), whatever makes you happy. I did find one site for you that sells 4081 atomizers - LiteCigUSA (link below): RN-4081 Atomizer Hope that helps!

    My thoughts on my new cartos

    Tim, as the cartomizer advocate around here I just want to mention that Jack will soon have LR 510 cartomizers (which I believe are also from Boge). 1.5 ohms! I saw a video on youtube where ECF's own BasilRay reviewed them - and he said he felt the LR 510 cartos were even better than...

    "Negative Reactions Mystify Electronic Cigarette Owners" - Please read!

    Congrats on your new eGo, Vocalek! I started with the automatic Joye 510's...and as of this week, made the jump directly to the automatic Mega eGo. I'll probably still get a fresh 510 to carry around for demonstrations, since their familiar shape & look really make introducing vaping to smokers...

    Quick Help on where to buy juice.

    TurnXTop, you might want to send Jack a quick email asking if he's actually out of the eGo USB chargers, or if the site is just saying that. More than once I've seen an item at Happy Vaper appear to be out of stock, only to ask Jack about it and hear back from him: "oops! No no, we do have them...

    Quick Help on where to buy juice.

    Hi there TurnXTop! I just got my first ever automatic Mega eGo from Jack this week, the silver one - and it's sweet! Just a quick word of advice - I personally recommend avoiding the cone. I love my new Mega eGo but do not plan on using the cone with it ever again. It acted like a silencer...

    Payday means new goodies :)

    Well generally 4 or 5 times is indicated, yes Tim. At that point, it's time to clean them out. To do that, just remove the white end cap, run hot tap water through the carto, blow it out, and plunk it into a pot of cold water. Set it to boil. When it reaches boiling, keep it boiling for about 15...
