    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Which would be yet another absurd result. But that's how this thing is written. If a vape shop offers 100 liquids and wants to sell samples, then every time they put liquid in an EGO vape pen so it can be sampled they will have manufactured a new tobacco product.

    We were talking about warnings and you've now moved on to inquiries. Which is fine. I'm going to make Alexander Mundy happy and not reply further.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Nicopure's lawyers would make that distinction and I think it's valid in context. The problem you and I and everyone posting here is having is contextual: We're Alice trying to make sense out of Wonderland rules. This stems, in turn, from the FDA's determination to regulate e-cigarettes and...

    Indefinitely, until there's unconditional surrender.;)

    It's probably a "throwaway" argument. That can be good strategy. And sometimes you have to take a position your client thinks is important, even though you think it's a loser.

    The FDA may have taken its opportunity to "weigh in" too literally.

    Very nice piece of work, in stark contrast to most of the amicus briefs.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Yes, and irrational. It would be irrational to say that if a perfectly legal product breaks the shop can't repair it because the FDA has arbitrarily decided that's a "modification." It's equally irrational and arbitrary to prohibit a demonstration of how to properly use a legally sold product...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Well, yes you can. That's exactly what happened in THIS CASE involving sales to minors. The first time he got caught the owner simply apologized and said he'd instructed his employees. Nothing further was required until the store did it two more times and the FDA hit him with a $500 civil...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I get what you're saying and I'm not ruling it out. I'm saying it's unlikely the FDA would try to enforce that interpretation. Incidentally, if you read Nicopure's reply brief, they make a pretty good argument that a tank isn't a tobacco product under the FSPTCA because it doesn't contain...

    There is enough real stuff to fuel your outrage without making it up.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    The warning letter, even if it's for the sale of cigarettes to a minor, merely requires a statement as to how the retailer intends to correct the problem to prevent future violations. It doesn't require all those other things. LINK I would respond by simply stating: "We have cautioned all of...

    I thought we were talking about a store employee filling a customer's tank atomizer with e-juice. But now I'm uncertain what you're referring to.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Ha! I will spare you a grim accounting of my penurious past. To repeat, the first enforcement step is a warning letter. No fine. I doubt they would even bother to issue a warning letter for many of the things being discussed in this thread. The situation is bad enough without concocting...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    They're not going to shut anybody down or seize inventory just because a store fills a tank or something equally trivial. Worse case scenario would be an initial warning letter and then you could decide whether to fight or capitulate. If you don't capitulate, then fines would start out small and...

    Hello Guys..............

    I don't even go here

    Welcome to ECF! You've come to the right place. Vaper going on 5 years here. With the help of e-cigs I was able to quit a 45 year pack-a-day smoking habit. The process was surprisingly easy and I have no cravings or desires to smoke a cigarette ever again. I don't understand why everything is...
