    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I don't accept it. You voted, nothing changed, and now you're fed up and calling it quits? I'm sorry, but not voting isn't an effective political statement. The preservation of liberty requires more than voting or not voting. Much more.

    You thought Nicopure's lawyers wrote the FDA's brief. . .

    Should i buy an eleaf istick 20w mod without the accessories or the the accessories?

    Yes, that's been the criticism. Phil Busardo pointed it out in his review. I personally haven't had a problem with them and they've worked satisfactorily for me. If you've had a good experience with the 30W, you have a lot of company and I'd certainly not disagree. I stopped buying mods with...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Arrogant is exactly right. And vindictive. Ever since they were told they couldn't regulate e-cigarettes as drug delivery devices they've been planning a strategy which will allow them to do exactly what they wanted to do all along: regulate e-cigarettes as drug delivery devices. That's...

    Should i buy an eleaf istick 20w mod without the accessories or the the accessories?

    I have not used the 30W iStick. I don't like to recommend anything I have not used myself. However, they are very popular. I own the Pico and it's an excellent, inexpensive, well made little mod. I have not used the K1 BVC. I have used the Aspire Nautilus Mini and Kangertech AeroTank2. Both...

    Should i buy an eleaf istick 20w mod without the accessories or the the accessories?

    FastTech has an eGo adapter for $1.19 HERE. If you need a 2.0 Male to Mini USB Cable, you can get one for under $2 at FastTech or just about anywhere else. I have two 20W iSticks and they've both worked fine for well over a year. If you want something better and more powerful for just a little...

    FDA Deeming Regs

    Why are so many B&Ms going out of business? I get it that some are worried and uncertain about the effects of the deeming, but nothing has really happened yet and litigation is pending that may make the whole thing go away. There must be other factors.

    Ha! Ain't dat the troof. But judging by the name he's in India, so perhaps not.

    Welcone to ECF! Any USB phone cable will work. You will need the EGO adapter. You will also need replacement coils. You may soon discover that you need two mods because you'll want something to vape while your other mod is charging.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Nicopure's briefs are first class, IMO. Have you read them? What is the basis for your criticism?

    I wish I could like this post more than just once.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Not ridiculous at all. But the cigarette making machine prohibition comes directly from an unambiguous statute. Here we have a regulation that's ambiguous and it's based, in turn, on a dubious interpretation of the enabling statute which was never intended to cover what the regulation purports...

    I count thirteen questions. That may well be a new ECF record. :thumbs:

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    YW! At the conclusion of oral argument, it's sweet music when the judge asks, "Mr. Bigdance, can you have your proposed findings of fact, conclusions of law and judgment to me within 7 days?" You say, "I certainly can, your honor." Opposing counsel says, "Judge, we'd like to submit ours also."...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    The judge will not rule on the motions until after oral arguments. The oral arguments are merely an opportunity for the lawyers to state their positions one last time and, perhaps more importantly, to answer the judge's questions. There will be no witnesses and no evidence will be presented.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    ETA: Why, you may ask, did the judge order a 40 day gap from the last brief until oral argument? Several possible reasons: the DC Circuit is one of the busiest courts in the country and dockets are filled up months in advance with trials and hearings. The judge has hundreds of pages to read and...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Ha! Well, I guess having read all these briefs I'm in an excessively adversarial mode. Now that I understand your question: The briefing is almost over. There will probably be only one more brief. The way motion practice works in federal court is this: 1. Somebody files a motion along with...

    LOL. You are hereby and henceforth deemed a tobacco product and YOU WILL BE REGULATED. Resistance is futile.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Any ol' lawyer won't do. Most lawyers are specialists. The vast majority have very little, if any, knowledge of federal regulatory law or the Administrative Review Act, much less the TCA and the deeming regulations. So if you were to go to the lawyer who wrote your articles of incorporation...
