    18 Aug 14 - Huff Post - Can We Please Stop Being So Overdramatic About E-Cigarettes?

    Or perhaps (I think more likely) the fact that the author's uncle vapes, and at this point probably so do members of HP staff, and their friends, and etc.; ordinary people take sides on this one as they become informed and personally acquainted with or invested in the product (or not). Huffpo...

    FDA "I think they're crazy..."

    After almost 5 years vaping the thought of smoking makes my stomach turn - the appeal is long gone. So does the smell (I don't bug anyone, though - been there.) My parents both smoked really heavily and I used to get carsick, hated the choking smell of the house when I came inside. After 40+...

    NYT: New Calculus on Smoking, It’s Health Gained vs. Pleasure Lost

    I was always able to tolerate (by force of will) the initial acute misery of quitting, even held out for a year once; what always yanked me back was the "symptoms" that just don't go away. I was just always raw and reactive, month after month, waiting and waiting for that to pass - like...

    FDA AEMSA urges FDA to reject Deeming Regulation for e-liquid products

    UncloudedThinking, I hadn't come across your article before. It's so very strong, accessible, clear and moving! I'm also going to make copies and add it to my little stack of references to hand out. Thanks for that!

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    I already need to take a nap tomorrow. Apologies to all for the ruckus. Sigh.

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    Kent, you're grasping at straws and really twisting my words, and my meaning; it's a personal vendetta at this point. I don't like to be misrepresented like that but I'm not going to give you any more line by line responses. Except to say that no, of course I wasn't referring to Bill, or...

    Can we stop recommending RBA's and mechs to beginners please?

    It really was so much fun! Go check out GrimmGreen waxing rhapsodic over menthol in a Vapor King in 2009. And don't make fun - it was all totally amazing and exciting. :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brP88kxQFmI We used to argue about how to wash out those prefilled cartos - boil 'em? Soak...

    Board of Health explores regulating e-cigarettes

    At my last visit to the dentist I mentioned that I used e-cigs. The hygienist gave me a pamphlet from their little pamphlet rack. Distributed, she said primly, by the health department. Oh noes! Antz in my teef!

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    Among the rumors that often need to be dispelled are also rumors that something is just a rumor. :) The worst effect of paying attention to all of the various ways in which the industry can be severely disrupted (and thus individual vapers, including DIYers and those who expect to rely on a...

    Ahlusion E-Juice Part 3

    I got mine too, and I think it's the only A flavor I've been a bit disappointed in. I loved LC brand new and it's still one of my very favorites. LVC was nice but somewhat uninteresting, just... a clear, pleasant lemon. HOWEVER, it smells amazing - you get the lemon and the vanilla and most...

    Not the sort of news vaping needs right now ...

    I worked hospice for 11 years and the majority of patients were smokers with COPD/lung cancer. And oh yeah they did. With trembling hands and falling, still burning butts and ashes, and constantly. Somehow in all of those years there wasn't a single incident, something about the way the tanks...

    Can we stop recommending RBA's and mechs to beginners please?

    Interesting thread. Seems to me that what's going on is that vaping replaces cigarettes to the extent that it provides a competing pleasure. That's why they work - they don't just replace the nicotine, they reward in various and very compelling ways. For people who love to tinker and the...

    FDA Lorillard comments to the FDA deeming regs

    And I'm amazed by the unparallelled amount of accurate information to be found here on every conceivable aspect of e-cigs, and the patience and perseverance of the many knowledgeable and friendly people in here who gently and endlessly counter error with fact. In my experience there are few...

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    Thanks aikanae, that clarifies function. How about my first question, anyone? Have there been defectors? (Sorry if I should know this, can't remember a discussion.)

    Board of Health explores regulating e-cigarettes

    I'd always rather battle smart than stupid. Aggressive stupidity is the worst. Makes you want to tear your hair out.

    FDA Comments by Bill Godshall and Smokefree Pennsylvania urge FDA to reject Deeming Regulation, correct fear mongering claims about e-cigs

    This is just a tremendous document, Bill. I'm sure that you're circulating it wherever needs be - I'd like it to be a ubiquitous presence throughout this whole campaign. Every member of Congress should have a copy. I want to rent blimps and airdrop it, will try to steady myself. :) Once again...

    FDA 8/8/14 Comment/Letter to FDA by 29 state attorneys general

    1. How many times have states attorneys general submitted letters to the FDA regarding ecigs? Forty of them did in 2013. Have some changed their minds? 2. I'm also trying to get perspective on how heavily they influence final decisions. In November of 2013, 29 state AGs asked the FDA to...
