    E-cigs under fire by an Orwellian Shadowy Cabal

    Piedmont, CA is looking to introduce the concept of Restricting Smoking in Public Places and Possible Direction to staff on their next steps. But that is not the creepy part, stay tuned for that after I get some details out of the way first. Given the short notice I am sure I can not get folks...

    To all Bay Area Vapers who do not FEAR to stand up for themselves and others

    Oh, indeed he does. I thought that was public knowledge.... check check... yes, that is public knowledge. :-) And it's a FEDERAL GRANT, no less. $20M for their "Tobacco Regulatory Sciences".

    To all Bay Area Vapers who do not FEAR to stand up for themselves and others

    Nothing much other than two very lengthy blog posts with hopefully some re-usable material for everyone else and a few videos I had to painstakingly capture from the player on their website. Oh, well, that and lots of fury about how not a single vaper in the affected area showed up after...

    To all Bay Area Vapers who do not FEAR to stand up for themselves and others

    If you are unaware of the outrageous lies and disinformation being put out by the Berkeley City Council and people from the tobacco-control and anti-tobacco groups, please familiarize yourself with the following so the rest of this post will make more sense to you...

    CALIFORNIA - SB 648 would define ecigs as cigarettes!

    It's set to be the largest ever, yes. And yes, those are booths. Been hearing numbers in the range of 20.000 (visitors, not booths).

    I'll just make a universal name tag, then. :-)

    CALIFORNIA - SB 648 would define ecigs as cigarettes!

    Heck, I'll throw one in as well then. So... we're trying to get DC2 to come to ECC while at the same time trying to ensure leaving would be a problem, right? :-)

    CALIFORNIA - SB 648 would define ecigs as cigarettes!

    If you're that close then it would certainly be worth going if you don't mind crowd. From what I've been hearing it's going to be huge. And busy.

    CALIFORNIA - SB 648 would define ecigs as cigarettes!

    Funny you should mention that. On our way back we're stopping by family we have in Pasadena. :-)

    CALIFORNIA - SB 648 would define ecigs as cigarettes!

    Haha, yeah, was about to go to sleep and saw your post. :-) ECC is the Electronic Cigarette Convention in Ontario, CA. 5,6,7 Sept. The trade show part doesn't interest me as much by itself but we're going to have a lot of meetings there (which is why we're leaving the 3rd, some happen before...

    CALIFORNIA - SB 648 would define ecigs as cigarettes!

    Soon. It's the local and state levels we need to continue to monitor because it will only intensify from this point forward. For California specifically I'm expecting a taxation proposal to come down the pipe and that fits in with the battle over the definition the ANTZ seek with a passion for...

    CALIFORNIA - SB 648 would define ecigs as cigarettes!

    After the last round it's safe to consider it dead. Corbett did ask for the option for reconsideration but she knows what she's up against after not getting enough votes last time around and being squashed between the pro-vaping side and her (former?) ANTZ "friends" that turned on her. She's...

    That Corbett has not sought to bring this before the committee again.

    FDA Extremely well done (and not yet available) FDA comment

    There was some talk going on about FDA regulations today and someone was kind enough to show the FDA comment that was written and submitted. Very impressive, especially given that it's been written by a non-smoker/non-vaper who is really passionate and an advocate for vaping (and who gave me...

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    It's an unfortunate situation that so many are confident in relying on a black market future that at this point only exists in their minds and wishes. I always ask vendors how consumer driven they are and whether they want their customers to drive them into a future where they would need to sell...

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    Still working on this, or rather Justin is, diligently so. Monument will sell to the vapor and tobacco industry but only with a $100m (per order!) liability coverage. Currently the ones that appear to not sell are Dow, Shell, Univar, Nexeo, and Lyondell Basell. There was one who would...

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    They refer to it themselves as "dowcig". :-) Dow Customer Information Group

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    We had one other manufacturer (not Dow) who did not have a published policy and followed the same process of questioning and denying a sale. Same day they were fine selling a few drums when told it was for use in outdoor fog machines. But, it appears Dow didn't use to care much and has recently...

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    You sound surprised. It was exactly that from the start. I don't know what gave you the impression it was not. If I did, sorry. :-)

    Dow chemical refusing to supply Propylene Glycol to e-cigarette industry

    Not so useful (or cost effective) if you're dealing with 55 gallon drums or larger orders. Which is generally more the kind of order placed at the manufacturers that have recently been avoiding sales based on our particular purpose. :-)
