    FDA CASAA FDA Call to Action #2!

    There's a lesson to be learned here, folks. When you're writing to the government (especially the Executive Branch), *ALWAYS* include *every single* coded reference you can get your hands on! This includes Public Laws, CFR (Code of Federal Regulations), "As Amended by," file numbers, form...

    FDA CASAA Blog - copy of letter to OMB/OIRA re PRA & FDA Reg Proposal

    As of midnight last night, the FDA has received 9,891 comments (of which they've posted a whopping 854, but that's a whole other issue). I'm wondering *who* exactly is going to read them. Zeller? I doubt it. Who's going to be communicating the content to the honchos? Who's going to do the...

    What Hardware Will Survive Afghanistan?

    I can't speak to the mods, but OP, if your guy is going to be anywhere outside the wire (and even inside, depending on the base), "my" Marines (anymarine.com) have told me that dust/sand is a big problem. It's everywhere, gets into everything, and it can be as fine as talcum powder. They're...

    BROKEN itaste vv/vw v3.0

    Thanks Tinkiegrrl and DavidOck for answering my question. In most things, I'm a "read manual only as last resort" person, but I've become super cautious when it comes to charging ecig batteries! Tinkiegrrl, your description of coping with your husband's vaping journey made me laugh! (I think...

    BROKEN itaste vv/vw v3.0

    I agree that it's more likely to be a problem with the charger. It's always the first thing I check with this kind of problem. A related question for you all: I just started using the itaste vv, and wonder if it can be charged on a regular eGo charger as well as the mini USB one that it comes...

    FDA CASAA Blog - copy of letter to OMB/OIRA re PRA & FDA Reg Proposal

    We do not, however, have to accept the numbers FDA uses as valid, relevant, or representative of the real world.

    FDA CASAA FDA Call to Action #2!

    After much counting of devices and bottles of eliquids (:shock:) and drafting, editing, and redrafting, I submitted my comment to FDA and OMB a few minutes ago.

    Fight for Your Right to #Vape - Weekend Action Plan for Memorial Day, Monday, 05.26.14

    Multitasking today: polishing my draft comments re FDA deeming paperwork reduction act, and tweeting NC legislators. Just because it's a holiday doesn't mean there's no work to be done!

    The Impact of Vaping on Individuals and Society

    How about "Silent Running" where the arcships are growing the last crop of tobacco?

    The Impact of Vaping on Individuals and Society

    One of my favorite mental health breaks is writing a future history of "Electronic Cigarettes and the Vaping Movement." Naturally, at that future date (ca. 2060), use of ecigs has been vindicated and their benefits to public health widely accepted. Only trouble is that as current developments...

    Sweets makers work to keep names off e-cigarettes

    Trademark infringement isn't limited to ecigs, so an article like this is simply pandering to ANTZ propaganda, IMO. Actually, I enjoy browsing eliquid sites and seeing how the manufacturers come up with equivalancies. "Newbie" for Newports, "Desert Ship" for Camels, "Cowboy Red" for...

    Stan Glantz defames Brad Rodu, criticizes harm reduction articles on smokeless tobacco and e-cigarettes

    I prefer "temper tantrum cum hissy fit," as this incorporates both adult and juvenile inappropriate behavior, both of which apply in this case, IMO... :D

    Reynolds American and Lorillard in merger talks

    Just got off my .... and googled "lorillard blu europe" and sure enough, Bloomberg (news svc, not nanny) is reporting that Lorillard is going to start selling Blu in Europe later this year. So if the merger goes through, RAI will have a foot in the EU door. Interesting....

    FDA CASAA FDA Call to Action #2!

    I'd like to point out, as a possible baseline on numbers, that one overseas wholesale/retail vendor shows (on its website) 8,295 SKUs for e-cigarettes (hardware) and 3,100 for eliquids. The latter does not, to the best of my knowledge, figure in any variants, such as added menthol or flavor...
