    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    Of course they will!! NJOY has already done this, why do you think they did??? because now THEY are the only LEGAL ecig producer. The industry has just been totally castrated. Read this: Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia It would have been...

    DC Court of Appeals rules against FDA 3-0 and in favor of NJOY

    It will when you see the consequences of this decision start to radically re-shape both the product and the industry(i.e. all ecig products & the way they are used will now have to comply with the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act & NJOY and Big T will, in essence, take over the...

    The FDA Loses Appeal!

    From a similar thread: This is Ok ruling for vapers in general. However, one stunningly bad thing that does come from it is that we now are just classified as tobacco users again(with all the restrictions and social shunning that comes with it). We will now never be able to say that vaping is...

    Matt Salmon is now president of NJOY (Sottera, Inc)

    Everyone, I HOPE, does realize what is going on here. Matt(who had been mysteriously AWOL from ECA for some time) and NJOY are now going to go about the process of having FDA squash all the other smaller suppliers being that NJOY is , technically, the only ecig supplier in compliance with...

    This is Ok ruling for vapers in general. However, one stunningly bad thing that does come from it is that we now are just classified as tobacco users again(with all the restrictions and social shunning that comes with it). We will now never be able to say that vaping is or may be safer than...

    Anybody else ever just forget to vape and go without for several hours?

    This happens to me almost every Sunday. I'll go through the majority of the day and then at like 9pm, I'll see my SB sitting there on my desk and think,"God, I went through another entire Sunday without taking a vape." It really makes me wonder if a significant portion of vaping's success can be...

    Dekang RY4 vs Dekang RY4 - Flavor difference

    I've heard that Hangsen was the CEO and left with the recipe to start his own company. I've heard that Hangsen left and stole the recipe and was arrested and charged with theft. I've heard that another high ranking DK employee left, stole the recipe, and was arrested and charged with theft. I've...

    WHAT HAPPENED to Dekang RY4 ???

    Repost from another almost identical thread: I've tried many supplier versions of DK RY4(and most of the assorted variants). Something did happen with the "general" DK RY4 recipe back in May of this year, and there are several competing stories as to what and why. You can still get the...

    Dekang RY4 vs Dekang RY4 - Flavor difference

    I've tried many supplier versions of DK RY4(and most of the assorted variants). Something did happen with the "general" DK RY4 recipe back in May of this year, and there are several competing stories as to what and why. You can still get the "original" DK RY4 from a few suppliers(RMV &...

    Industry Concerns

    At the very least, every Chinese "kit" I've ever purchased(now the kit contains the battery, atomizer, carts, charger, etc...) have all had the European CE mark as well as the RoHS mark(which means it doesn't contain lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls and...

    Fsusa to start spectro-analysis of e-juice?

    even if mass spec was meant(which I don't think it was), it's still incorrect. You need a seperatory method(I.e. GC or LC) for a mixture of organic liquids before mass spectrom etry can be used. And, again, one would be sure to get the na e of the methodology absolutely correct before making a...

    Fsusa to start spectro-analysis of e-juice?

    One would certainly think so; or one would certainly expect that the correct info would have been verified, checked and re-checked before such a monumental declaration of this nature would be issued; given the ramifications such a declaration implies to all other eliquid vendors and the industry...

    Fsusa to start spectro-analysis of e-juice?

    I would tend to agree with you to the extent that FSUSA cannot stand behind any of the claims made(even though FSUSA clearly DID make the claims in their subforum). The analytical method mentioned doesn't exist & the closest semantic match is an inappropriate methodology for the type of analysis...

    Fsusa to start spectro-analysis of e-juice?

    There is no such thing as "Spectro Analysis". I believe the technique he is referring to is spectral or spectrum analysis(in which a relatively pure sample's emission or absorption spectra of a particular range of the electromagnetic spectrum is analyzed). It is not an appropriate analytical...

    Vote for e-cigarettes over cigarettes in online doctors' poll

    Unfortunately "smokeles tobacco products" didn't utilize outright safety and health claims in the first 2 years of their US marketing(and some e-cig vendors still ARE utilizing this marketing tact). You can't have it both ways. If you're going to claim a product is safe(or a safer alternative)...

    Vote for e-cigarettes over cigarettes in online doctors' poll

    It's not Healthcare Pro's responsibilty to "do studies"; it's the entity/manufacturer/vendor/supplier's(who actually stands to profit from said product) responsibilty to ensure the appropriate studies are done(i.e fund them and seek out a non-biased, independent reasearch institution to run the...

    Vote for e-cigarettes over cigarettes in online doctors' poll

    Every once in a while, when I see something like this, I have to come out of retirement and say something. You are correct Kristin, and as a healthcare professional, I find it absolutely disgusting that this is the level to which vapers have stooped. Pretending to be Doctors(specifically...
