    Saw RUSH Concert for 1st time last night WOW!!!!

    I can't agree more with your view on new "music". I saw some highlights of the VMA's from a few days ago on youtube and between Lady Gaga's bombastic idiocy and Kanye West's "talent" of pushing random buttoms on a drum machine and cursing over pre-recorded, computer generated "rythym"; I almost...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    May have worked a few years ago, I doubt it now. The average time can be anywhere from 8- 12 years depending on the drug. Average cost anywhere from $500million to $2 billion. Wiki has 2 good, fairly comprehensive articles on this. Drug development - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia &...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    Probably not now, but three years ago when initially introduced; or possibly prior to the SE NJOY suit; Certainly before mall kiosks were making outright health claims; If ecigs/eliquids were properly marketed from the jump with cooperation from manufaturers/suppliers and the appropriate govn't...

    VG liquid inhilitaion recomendations

    Glycerol is one of the most benign organic liquids known. It is hypo-allergenic, non-carcinogenic, non-teratogenic and non-mutagenic. Glycerol is the backbone of all mono-di-and tri-glyceride fatty acids(the main constituent in all animal and vegetable fats) and is metabolized quite easily by a...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    I meant to respond to this post earlier. I completely agree GoodDog, it seems like there is, at least, one or two new "homemade" eliquid vendors popping up every month. Some of these vendors are in blatant violation of not only Federal, but State and Local laws. For example, in California it is...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    Not that the DSHEA disclaimer route would have been a completely acceptable option(in my opinion it allows many unsafe products to skate to market & has caused problems in itself which has led to passage of another 2006 congressional act requiring mandatory reporting of OTC and dietary...

    Saw RUSH Concert for 1st time last night WOW!!!!

    You will not be disappointed. In fact, they will surpass anything you could imagine. They are really THAT GOOD live!!! I was completely blown away. P.S. didn't Alex Lifeson get arrested not too long ago down in Florida for assaulting a police officer. Got his nose broken as well, I believe.

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    Mixing an IV bag or a simple opthalmic solution is far from manufacturing a "complex medicine", but still has to be done in an appropriately aseptic environment due to the final product's intended route of administration. You also have to be sure what you're mixing is chemically/physically...

    Saw RUSH Concert for 1st time last night WOW!!!!

    Yup, they played the 2112 Overture into Temple of Syrinx late in 2nd set. I think they played it in a slightly lower key then the album due to Geddy not quite being able to hit the high notes he could back in the day; but it was still awesome. I was hoping they would insert Passage to Bangkok...

    FDA Letter to ECA?

    Disbanded? I wonder where all the money paid by the members(membership fees, contributions, etc...) went???? Well that's about par for the course in this industry. If the manufacturers/suppliers aren't willing to do the right thing and legitimize, why should anyone expect the Industry's...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    A quick word on DIY juice making. I was emailed a few weeks ago by a vaper who had questions about another health issue and he/she asked me my opinion about the safety/sense of DIY eliquid preparation(this was right after the RATH incident and it threw him/her off of buying US made liquid) the...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    Ok, I couldn't resist this one. Ok, so small business's are allowed to skimp on QC/QA and put consumers in dangers because they "just aren't there yet". But those evil "large companies", well they have to comply because they've gone through the appropriate free market capitalization which...

    Please Vocalek, I really appreciate your right to your opinion, this is a open forum and you can feel free to opine on anything you want. But you're not entitled to your own facts and you're really reaching here. Frankly, as a person who is a licensed Pharmacist and has intimate knowledge from...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    Saw the same video a long time ago(it was done by leaford of V4life) and is of the Dekang/Boge facility in China. They may not be EXACTLY up to US FDA cGMP, but, knowing what is entailed myself, I can tell you they are light-years ahead of any US eliquid manufacturer. They also have another...

    UPDATE: FDA Warns Five E-Cigarette Makers, Says Products Need FDA Approval

    Continue to believe what you want to believe and vape what you want to vape. If the JC inspection letter doesn't seriously concern you as a vaper, nothing I can say as a healthcare professional will either.

    UPDATE: FDA Warns Five E-Cigarette Makers, Says Products Need FDA Approval

    Unfortunately, the industry could have been working with FDA hand in hand for the past year plus to set up this Branch(in fact, I brought this scenario-about a totally different and new classification of a non-therapeutic, recreational class of tobacco substitute regulations- in my 2nd thread...

    This is what I've been talking about for a year now

    Absolutely!!! And Manufacture and distribution of an unapproved drug entity and viloations of cGMP can be prosecuted as criminal offenses - they are violations of CFR(code of federal regulations). I know the former(Manu & Dist of Unapp drug) is a Felony and I believe is punishable by a max...

    UPDATE: FDA Warns Five E-Cigarette Makers, Says Products Need FDA Approval

    I can't agree more with your analysis. I just started a thread in this subforum called "This is what I've been talking about for a year now" which quotes from the JC letter. The FDA has allowed non-regulation and irresponsible, possibly dangerous, manufacturing processes to go along with...
