    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    There is no law, a ruling in favor of the FDA would just validate actions already taken by the FDA (in the form of blocking/seizing imports) and give them freedom to go ahead and continue those actions in the future. It's not that there would be a law saying "Electronic cigarettes are now...

    Vaping demo for my doctor

    Good news for you! Slightly off-topic: Can we stop with the "FDA wants my money oh no!" stuff? They may be on a bit of a power-trip, we may feel that they're being thick-headed, but they're following the law. The more you read about what's actually happening and the FDA's actual stance, the...

    Ruyan Direct Returns Money but dosen't care if my juice taste like poison!?

    Hey man, all I'm saying is that they've refunded your money and don't even want the liquid back. What brick-and-mortar is going to give you that deal? I understand that you're frustrated and worried that you've been poisoned, but going on about it isn't going to change it. Getting a second...

    Ruyan Direct Returns Money but dosen't care if my juice taste like poison!?

    If I got some bad fish at a restaurant, what are they going to do? Offer to replace it and my meal's gratis. That's about all they can do. Maybe they should hold my hair while I puke?

    PG-PEG-VG Lets think outside the box a little.

    Well, it would also have to have a similar flash point, right? (I sure hope that's the right term...) You don't want something that will burn in your atomizer, you want something that will create a fine mist. PG flash point is 130C, Glycerin is 160C, so we want something in that range. Oils are...

    CNN vs Fox news

    Well, since this is obviously a loaded question meaning "what do you think about the current US political atmosphere?" or some such, I'll feel comfortable responding and not being off-topic. I don't like CNN, FOXnews, CNBC, or any other cable news network. Local news is OK but it tends to be...

    Atomizer inconsistency

    In my experience, JD is absolutely correct. Screw around with the filler in your cart and make sure that it touches the bridge. I use a needle to pull the filler up level or even a little above the lip of the cart itself. The bridge doesn't get nearly as hot as I thought it did when I first got...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Seems like if you know that it's being used in a different way than the way that you are labeling it (ie. you label it as a mouth-fogger for making non-smoke rings and parlor tricks, yet know full well that it is being used to inhale nicotine) the intended use is still the way that most...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    Sun - I wasn't trying to say that we could slip it under the radar, but rather asking whether the case would cover personal importation. Evidently it does. Which sucks. Luckily, I have 4 batteries, 2 PTs, 9 atomizers, a ton of carts, and enough liquid. I can always make 0-nic stuff too...

    Smoking Everywhere V. FDA Daily Docket Sheet Update--APPEAL's COURT ISSUES STAY

    OK Sun, I'm probably going to have to get you to explain slowly for me again, but... The more I'm thinking and talking about this case specifically, it seems that the FDA is right. You have a new delivery mechanism for a known drug (nicotine), which under the law requires FDA approval to be...

    Can anyone identify this battery? M401 Replacement??

    I can't tell for sure, but it looks like those rings are just decoration... slide over the atomizer maybe? Could be an 84mm or L88 with a modified mouthpiece? EDIT: could be a JSB-108, but what's with the detached rings? is that normal?

    SE VS FDA Question

    So they ARE lumping all of the devices into one boat. I got some conflicting information on that, leading to my view. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

    SE VS FDA Question

    Correct, but I was under the impression that there's no way it's going to be a blanket thing. It would have to be on a case by case basis, since each brand and model is a different device. So the judge is only ruling on the particular instance of the FDA blocking SE's imports. Yes, it will set...

    Buying a syringe - embarassing

    Might as well throw in that I work at a drugstore, and we sell syringes out of the pharmacy no questions asked. I would rather sell an addict a fresh needle than have him borrow/share/reuse/dig one out of the trash. He's going to find a way to get his fix, and if he can't get clean needles, he's...

    SE VS FDA Question

    See, the thing is that SE and NJOY are claiming that their products are tobacco products, not that electronic cigarettes are. As far as I understand it, this isn't going to be a blanket issue, it's going to be on a case-by-case basis. So let's say that SE wins the case and the judge allows them...

    OK, but that's exploitive. Can't we argue on the inherent benefits, not the flavor of the day ones? ...that's why I'm not a salesman. Carry on. :-D

    Here's an article that I wrote that I hope to submit for publication to a widely circulated newspaper or magazine. What do you guys think?

    In Parade magazine

    I always find it amazing that a doctor who is going to write an article for publication uses a quick Google search as his main form of research.

    What was YOUR reason for getting E-Cigs?

    Yeah, kinda interesting that the shoe is on the other foot (to an extent), where I'm going to start nagging her about vaping too much. :-P
