    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    I guess I'm reading it differently. It could be easily argued that ejuice is a new tobacco product; it has only just today been determined to be one, so that means the FDA would be well within their purvue to tweak it any way they see fit. It could easily be argued that they were not an...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Actually, if the FDA lays hands upon it as a tobacco product, I don't think that it will even be able to be said to be a safer alternative to smoking anymore until there are tests to back that up. The New Zealand study shows that it doesn't contain certain carcinogens but it does not mention...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    The gum, patches, and lozenges are regulated by the FDA as smoking cessation/nicotine replace products, an over-the-counter product much like Tylenol and Motrin. Had those products been marketed as an alternative to smoking rather than nicotine replacements, they would have fallen under the...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Well, theoretically they can make the nicotine more difficult to obtain. Certainly you can buy cigarettes off a truck in the back of the Walmart, but as a rule you can't buy them off the internet anymore and your neighbor's kid can't set up a cigarette stand. Obviously it can go underground...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Actually, I find this part of the tobacco regulation potentially difficult, too: " Requires tobacco companies and importers to reveal all product ingredients and seek FDA approval for any new tobacco products." The disclosure that was resisted by some may suddenly become mandatory. And, since...

    this angry girl is angry

    Please re-read her post before you take the none-too-surprising dig at AngryAmy. The order placed on Black Friday shipped the next day. The order she is having a problem with was placed four days before Black Friday, 11/21, which theoretically should have been out the door before Friday even...

    *sigh* here we go again

    I'm wondering if she's talking about a light or ultra-light cigarette because, whether you agree with her findings or not, I don't think she would outright lie and make up smoldering when there clearly is none; something that would be that patently untrue would just bring immediate discredit to...

    Vaporrenu...now with throat hit!

    Don't know for sure if you realize it, but Vaperite's organic line is made with alcohol, as are a lot of DIY juices, especially those heavy with VG because it thins it out so that it will wick better. I think it's in more juices than you realize, but because Vaporenu allows for the adjustment...

    Cheap, but good juice?

    At Vapor Renu you can get 60 mL for $14+shipping. If memory serves, they have a 5% off code of renu. They've got enough different flavors that everybody should be able to find something interesting plus you're not committed to one massive flavor. Nu-Juice Liquid Refill

    U-C Riverside -- Ecigs unsafe

    If you read it, it appears as if it's a legal firm that could be looking for class action business. "f you've had a bad experience -- or a good one -- with a consumer product or service, we'd like to hear about it. All complaints are reviewed by class action attorneys and are considered for...

    Doctor's Office

    It is a discussion board, but I do have to agree that there are times and places when certain behaviors even among legal of-age adults are inappropriate. And, as they say, QED.

    Doctor's Office

    From a medical standpoint, though, I don't really feel a doctor's office is the place to be vaping. There have been no studies yet on most of the chemicals in the flavorings- and those that we do are known to be respiratory irritants and/or toxins- so to subject people that may already have...

    Doctors

    Add to that the fact that you'll not find a doctor worth his degree that will state that the vapor produced is definitely not harmful. Look at the warnings they give with the stuff that they have tested. Considering there is no real testing of the ecig, specifically the flavorings, you will be...

    The perfect flavorless vape!

    Not sure exactly who you're addressing, but Lynn has already foregone the flavoring agents and I'm shortly to follow her. I can't bring myself to waste anything and I've got juice with 5% flavoring which I can't bring myself to waste. Fortunately, they're a tobacco and a tobacco-menthol, so...

    Flavor issues between KR808's and Joye Ego's

    You could also, for cheaper, use an adapter on your eGo to go from 510 to the 808-D/901 and use those cartomizers and see if that helps get the flavor you liked.

    The perfect flavorless vape!

    I'm finishing up what I've DIY'd here with 5% flavoring and then I'm joining you on the flavorless Lynn. It really seems to defeat the purpose of quitting if I'm inhaling things that have the potential to be as dangerous as cigarettes.

    Is steeping an urban legend?

    Vape, you're free to believe what you want. Halo's 24-48 seems about right and in line with what I have experienced with my DIY juices, including the more complex flavors. And that's why most juices are ready to vape from the mailbox- they get that 24-48 hours out of the way during the...

    Is steeping an urban legend?

    That has been my experience, too, although I've not had anything for that length of time. I wonder if what some people are perceiving as the improvement in their juice is in actuality the fact that the flavor is degrading out of it; in other words, the flavor was blech, so as the flavor...

    Is steeping an urban legend?

    I just made an observation. And, frankly, stating that the people who don't believe in steeping, despite the fact that any one of them has more vaping time than the rest of us combined, quite possibly have defective taste buds, seems a bit mud-slingy. Frankly, post #2 in this thread seemed a...

    Diacetyl

    He should be fine with it. Plus it's a good idea so that you have it to refer to later should the question arise again.
