    Njoy response to FDA

    So true. The FDA report went worldwide in hours, to millions who know none of the truths about ecigs, the new tobacco laws or the politics behind it all. It wasn't more than 10 minutes after the news ended Tuesday night that I heard from my very worried mom.

    The story's been picked up journalists throughout the country and in other countries, as well. The tone is the same everywhere.

    testing diy flavors, how to clean atty quickly?

    For my favorite flavors, each has its own atty. I use spare, clean attys for taste testing.

    The FDA wants us to call their action line. So I did.

    Hehe, it's easy to misconstrue things from our names and avatars. Even when I sign PMs with my actual name, people still write back to Rose. Anyway, great phone call DUDE! Thanks for the smile.

    Panic buying and the FDA ban. My take.

    That's exactly what I was happy to find. I'm a lot newer than you, and am (by choice) not no-nic yet, but am easily floating between 0-9.6mg. As long as I have the ritual, I'll be fine.

    Lorann Flavors

    If you find flavors you like enough to stock up, Amazon sells 4-packs of the 1oz size for between $9.50 and $15 with free shipping. For 1-dram samples I like BettysCountryGrocery.com.

    FDA estimated ban time frame.

    Highly unlikely. There may be more enforcement in customs and at the supplier level, but our risk in ordering from China is more likely to be financial. If China suppliers continue to accept orders and the product is stopped at customs, we will already have paid for stock that doesn't reach us.

    Merged old sticky threads (5)

    Chris, when something came up that lowered what I was to pay for an order I emailed Ethan, and he quickly replied to go ahead and make the adjustment. I took the adjustment into account on my payment and the order went through without a hitch. He's very good about responding to email.

    Vapeing more then used to smoke

    I chain smoked, but had finally stopped smoking in my house. Unfortunately the result was I spent a lot of time in the basement and back porch, so it didn't help me quit. I do vape in the house. But I don't beat myself up about it... a big part of my downfall in trying to quit smoking before...

    A Word To The Wise About Myfreedomsmokes.com

    It seems to me it doesn't matter who at the company sent the snotty message; it shouldn't happen. And orders should not go through on out of stock items. I hope we see another post saying ditc got an apology.

    1980's e-cig?

    Nicotrol is made by BP, and has been through the FDA approval process. They have small amounts of nicotine, and it would be nearly impossible to have an accident that would expose anyone to excess nicotine. That they don't heat up, have additional chemicals (that are as of now untested for...

    Vaping at a gas station

    Good answer :thumbs: We need to have common sense, and the same respect for business owners and non-vapers that we want them to give us.

    How long has your atty lasted?

    Yeah, I was thinking that as I was typing my reply. In my case, I vape very close to the way I chainsmoked - my PV is my all day pacifier. In any event, we all have different habits for how we vape, clean, don't clean, mod, etc. It's all gotta impact how the attys last. The only thing I'm...

    What's you fave PV?

    My first was a 901. I don't regret it, but when my spares are gone I'm done with it. For now its my work PV; a pacifier I use on automatic while I'm busy. Later on I added 510 manual and Janty Stick, and I love them both - wouldn't want to have to choose between them.

    How long has your atty lasted?

    Shortest: 901 DOA and replaced under warranty. Longest: 901 3months and still going. Others: Haven't lost a 510 or 801 yet (6 weeks for both).

    Anyone ask Chinese manufacturers

    Tannerk, I didn't question that it has to go through trials; of course it does. I simply questioned why you're assuming the worst case scenario of a class III rating. In all the years I've been involved with analysis of studies and clinical trials, the assumption has been that class III is...

    How do you carry your pv?

    For my Janty Stick I use the clip-on case that comes with it, and it stays with me, along with a spare battery which is also in the case. A spare cart and/or 3ml bottle fits in an small pouch Sandisk provides with SD cards, and keep it in my bag. I can't keep track of where I leave my 510, and...
