    NY Times article on flavored e-cigs and huge photo of 20 flavored e-liquids cover front page of Business section

    I read the NYT. And the NYT is most definitely on an anti-ecig crusade. I exchanged some brief email a while ago with assistant editor, who requested point by point refutations supporting my heated objection to the insane and hysterical article by the same journalist about e-liquid toxicity...

    FDA FDA spends $270 million on studies to promote proposed deeming reg instead of researching e-cigs health impact on smokers who switched to vaping

    http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/rebuildable-atomizer-systems/562106-ecf-sub-ohm-advisory.html (This isn't the thread for debating that controversy; only relevant here insofar as it's one that the FDA intends to exploit, according to the Fox article.) More to the point is their reckless...

    FDA FDA spends $270 million on studies to promote proposed deeming reg instead of researching e-cigs health impact on smokers who switched to vaping

    So transparently biased (and typically stupid). I immediately noticed the dearth of attention to actual health studies, too - it would be jaw-dropping were we not familiar with this sort of rubbish. That's a decent bit of money and a lot of energy to invest in what's rather obviously nothing...

    Donate to Dr Farsalinos' new study

    I'd like to know if we're talking about barely discernible 'traces' or significant levels, and to that end I'd like to be made to understand what levels are indeed significant. That's difficult and at this point can only be hypothetical, because there's not enough history yet for certainty about...

    FDA Conversation with Senator Isakson's Legislative Assistant for the HELP Committee

    My daughter's water just broke! Everything else is irrelevant, granddaughter soon to arrive, screw politics, humans are ridiculous.

    FDA Conversation with Senator Isakson's Legislative Assistant for the HELP Committee

    I've actually decided (firmly this time) to stop engaging in this part of the forum; I'll scan briefly every now and then to stay updated and answer CASAA action calls and quietly do my part, but I can't hack the very heavily partisan flavor, myself. Roger's correct, but that's not gonna fly in...

    FDA Another way to Support CASAA and Fight the Deeming Regulations

    OK. Launching search party for Famous Malignantly Narcissistic Sociopath who will work for slightly used mods. Will throw in a drawer full of prefilled cartos from 2010, a VapeFest T-shirt and an entirely mythical pot of gold.

    Are there any no leak toppers,,,

    My aeros don't leak, nor does my protank2 fitted with a aerotank bottom, nor does the Iclear. I've actually never had anything leak - maybe luck or maybe because I'm careful. I don't like rebuilding, too much fuss - waiting for something that good to arrive on the scene ready-built. It will. If...

    Top 5 vendors (e-liquid)

    Here's what I like about Nicoticket, having not even tried their juice yet: they include a full disclosure of diacetyl, acetoin, etc. in their description of their famous custard-flavored juice. I'd not buy that one because of that (not at all asking anyone to agree, don't get going on that...

    FDA Blu Ecigs UK chief expects few e-cigarette sellers to survive

    That's correct; they are listed as 'also seized'.

    FDA Congress can stop this thing?

    Senator Burr is in the hotseat at the moment and might be loathe to take on another controversy, but yeah, he's on our side, if somewhat tepidly. What I'm not clear on is how and at what point might Congress realistically get involved? What are the actual mechanics here?

    Top scientists warn WHO not to stub out e-cigarettes

    It's all over Reddit, anyway. Anyone want to lay bets on US media taking this one?

    UPDATE 6/25/14! NJ Gov. Chris Christie proposes taxing e-cigs at rate equal to $2.70/pack cigarette tax + other issues

    In here, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, also Christians, Jews, Atheists, Wiccans and god knows what are trying to work together in common cause. General partisan comments, especially inflammatory ones, belong Outside, simply because to respond to them argumentatively (and generally...

    FDA More big news from EU: 53 leading scientists urge WHO to accept e-cigs/tobacco harm reduction

    Top scientists warn WHO not to stub out e-cigarettes

    Reuters has it but couldn't find it in any US news outlet so far. Might be a good idea to forward the Reuter's link to your favorite (or least favorite, or whatever) media. This one's significant, methinks.
