    When did I fall so far behind.

    Welcome back! I was in a similar spot. I'd been vaping happily away with my kayfuns and provari for about 2 years. Then the Kayfun's both kicked it at the same time. I poked around here 6 months or so back and got a Lemo. Then I dropped the Lemo and it became a juice funnel (very effective at...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I think I sent some money to whatever it is this Faircloth guy is doing. It wasn't much because i wasn't sure what exactly it was for but I will revisit it. Yes, this was it: Fight the FDA » Larry W Faircloth; West Virginia I'm sure it's been posted elsewhere.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I do think they are still on the board, especially now with e-cigs in the picture. They were developing them in the late 80s though, as I mentioned, way before e-cigs were around and the regulatory hurdles were not worth the effort according to my professor. He was very disturbed by this as I...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    That is a riot. These regulations pretty much mandate that there will be no innovation. Why would a company try to make a safer cigarette when they have to navigate hectares of red tape. I have mentioned this on ECF before, but in grad school (late 90s) I had a professor who used to work at a...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    A post I saw on facebook, a guy was going to buy a pack of cigs, smoke them, and send the butts and pack to FDA as a thank you note for encouraging him to go back to smoking. I'd consider that, but I'd have to get someone else to smoke them for me. I don't think I could.

    HELP PLZ first post, starting DIY

    I have my nicotine stored in 500 ml clear glass bottles. I put them in the box the bottles shipped in (it is sturdy with nice dividers) and then put that box in the freezer. I take one 500ml bottle as it is needed and divide it out into amber 60 ml bottles. I take one of those out and keep it...

    CDC finds 8.3M fewer US smokers since 2010, Reuters finds 7.35M US vapers no longer smoke

    @Bill Godshall - What do you expect will happen with these numbers if the 'ban' goes through as it currently stands (no adjustment of grandfather date)?

    CDC finds 8.3M fewer US smokers since 2010, Reuters finds 7.35M US vapers no longer smoke

    I dual used nicotine gum for about 8 years, lol. I used to use it to get through situations when I couldn't smoke; airplane/airport, car trips, family gatherings. It was a massively expensive crutch. Funny, now that I vape, I don't need to vape in these situations and I don't need a crutch. I...

    CDC finds 8.3M fewer US smokers since 2010, Reuters finds 7.35M US vapers no longer smoke

    The wording of the Reuters graphic is telling, "... And e-cigarette users frequently also smoke - or return to - conventional tobacco" Yet the percentage that "used to use conventional tobacco" absolutely blows away any percentage you'd get from nicorette or other 'approved' stop smoking methods...

    On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

    I was kind of being sarcastic, lol. That's why I mentioned HLV was only a dollar or so more. Oh, I see RTS as a liter at $99 btw. Was that for 100 mg/ml?

    Is there a blog or article to help someone new to DIY?

    Good luck @Baditude. I can't offer any more advice than what people have already said. I'm willing to answer questions though, if you have any!

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Out of curiosity, I posted on several of my private facebook groups, non vape related, asking people what they knew of the deeming regs, what they think, etc... Most people don't have a clue. A few say they think ecigs are good, but should only be used to wean off of regular cigs ("otherwise...

    On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

    Decent deal right? 55 gallons is 208 liters. HLV charges, what, about $50 for a liter, and that's one of the cheapest prices I've seen. So $9999/208 is about $48/liter. Want to go halvsies on it? LOL.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Does anyone remember how I mentioned a few days ago that they'd find a way to blame any rise in smoking after de facto ban on ecigs getting people hooked and them transitioning to combustibles? Adult Smoking Rate Falling Fast In U.S.

    I think one of the court cases um... the place down in Florida has that in their lawsuit write-up. We will see how that goes, eventually.

    Haha, if it wasn't expensive to apply (I'm assuming it cost money to apply as well as to do the research, not quite clear on that) I'd start submitting a bunch of PMTA applications for q-tips, paper towels, rayon, wet wipes, screwdrivers, wire clippers, etc...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Siegel speculated that BT was supporting because they'd rather have a smaller share of a big market as opposed to a big share (monopoly) of a tiny market. I don't know. It could be some combination of that and feeling insecure about the chances of their products getting PMTAs. ??
