    New Eissenberg study vindicates e-cigarettes

    As a healthcare professional, I'm done following this Eissenberg guy. A "clinical Study" with an N(sample size) of 32 proves nothing. He also seems to keep proving (or trying to prove) that ecig usage is tantamount to some type of Placebo effect. He uses ecig brands that I never heard of...

    How Rath (JOHN) of the Rath Juice Beat me for my Money

    When your dealing with a product such as this(i.e. a formulation intended for direct human pulmonary inhalation) there should NEVER be inconsistencies. #1. The product formulation as well as the process and procedure to generate it should be standardized(i.e. there should be one and only one...

    Shipping Prices!!!!

    What is this elusive "overhead" that keeps being brought up in a direct to consumer web based retail business. Besides being a pharmacist, I am a partner in a brick and mortar credit bureau/medical billing/ and collection agency so I know about overhead. Overhead is/are fixed indirect costs not...

    Shipping Prices!!!!

    Liability insurance?? Can you please expand on that as I have never heard of an insurance company underwriting or extending liabilty insurance to an, as of yet, unapproved market/item. It would certainly be a great step for the industry if this were the case. And as juicefreak(I believe) and...

    Shipping Prices!!!!

    Then why are there a small handful of suppliers(i.e. rockymountainvapor, et al..) that can afford to ship anything over a certain small monetary amount($14 to be exact) for free(1st class parcel) but also offer upgraded shipping(still only WHAT USPS charges, nothing more) if necessary; And still...

    Shipping Prices!!!!

    Juicefreak, thank you for pointing this out. E-cig suppliers can't have it both ways. They act like they're a poor ole', undercapitalized, undermanned "cottage Industry" when the situation suits them. Then , on the flip side, they want to be treated as if they're bestbuy.com when the situation...

    Shipping Prices!!!!

    Handling and incidentals(post office trip time, gas, etc...) should already be calculated and included in the price of the product. And USPS priority flat rate box costs $4.95(price of box included) and I'll grant 10 to 15 cents a package for bubble packaging and tape. Why can some suppliers...

    Shipping Prices!!!!

    To reiterate what was stated previously, RockyMountainVapor, has free 1st class parcel shipping on all orders over $14(and it ALWAYS is shipped same day of order and arrives within 2-3 business days). They do offer upgrade Priority mail for $4.95(which is what is ACTUALLY costs them) if you...

    My 1st and LAST order with VAPORSTATION

    Eliquid, from any source, needs to be industry self-regulated, and the industry needs to do this in a hurry. The burgeoning e-cig/eliquid industry has been around in the US now since 2007. In all that time I've never heard or seen one instance or shred of evidence or piece of datum, that...

    Class Action Against the FDA

    I'm talking about a double-blinded, randomized, toxicity test starting from the pre-clinical process(animal models) this is how the process is supposed to start(they did them daily in the vivarium at the PTC building at the University I went to). We havent even gotten past animal models to even...

    Class Action Against the FDA

    You can design a double blinded, randomized, controlled test for anything. The Institutional Review Board problem usually only becomes an issue when human testing is involved(in later phases of clinical studies). At this point(except for a few limited pilot studies, one in NZ, that I'm aware...

    Bartleby PV review

    Yikes, I would say just keep emailing him or possibly look into another box mod if you're really in dire need. I have't seen any appreciable movement on this thread in some time. I know he had some family issues(new additions) a few months ago, possibly that is the reason for lack of response...

    Class Action Against the FDA

    All these are good starting points & certainly are closer, however, there still needs to be an actual double-blinded, controlled, randomized trial on e-cigs themselves(not 2nd hand fog-machine vapor or lower concentration PG humectant in tobacco) which establish the safety of concentrated PG...

    Class Action Against the FDA

    Yes it helps very much, thank you. However, this guideline only addresses short term exposure(24 hours or less) at very low concentration levels(mg/L). I was hoping it would be more analogous to actual vaping conditions(longer term exposure at much higher levels). Hopefully, future...

    Class Action Against the FDA

    [/INDENT] Darth, do you happen to have any info regarding the MAC(minimum alveolar concentration) that the OPPTS 870 series uses to establish it's inhalation toxicity level? It would go quite a long way to see if the level coincides with any clinically documented e-cig alveolar concentrations...

    dietSMOKES.com , a mistake or a ripoff??

    My guess is now that dietsmokes is no longer an approved supplier here and Parked has been suspended, anyone with an outstanding issue with parked/dietsmokes will be at a loss. It seemed the only way any issue was resolved with Parked/dietsmokes in the past was to publicly out the issue on this...

    Class Action Against the FDA

    That Statement was a result of an act passed by Congress called the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. I don't have the time or the energy to go into detail on how or why the act was passed right now, but I explain it, in some detail, in the middle of this post...

    Do ATOMIZERS(rather than Cartos) work on the Wetbox mod

    I know 510 cartomizers are the standard and have, apparently, no issues on the Wetbox. Unfortunately, I hate cartos and refuse to use them. So the crux of my question, will the wetbox work appropriately well with regular 510 atomizers?? I still have not gotten a definitive answer on this. Some...
