    FDA Who will survive the FDA Regs?

    Wow, there is a lot of mistrust and hyperbole out here. From having talked with many of them several times, the FDA is caught in the cultural and institutional vise. Politically they don't believe they can do anything other than what Big Public Health (ACS, ALA, CDC, NIH) and Congress want...

    FDA Sen Johnson (R-Wis) demands answers from FDA RE deeming

    I hear you man. You are not alone in that regard, but it tends to be very self fulfilling. Instead of writing a letter to the Rep, try this: pick up the phone, call the DC office and ask the name of the person who handles FDA issues, ask them to spell it. Email that person (House is first...

    FDA Sen Johnson (R-Wis) demands answers from FDA RE deeming

    Good point Z, retailers should be doing much more. Only about 1,200 of the 15,000 (ish) retailers are SFATA members. The rest seem to be hoping others will save their business via lawsuit or magic. I certainly don't intend shaming anyone, I intend to let people know that a legislative...

    FDA Sen Johnson (R-Wis) demands answers from FDA RE deeming

    Ha, yeah, I' actually didn't say in any way that they don't care about the merits, but to get on the agenda for the 4 weeks they will be in session prior to the election we need to create an outcry. that is not happening and all im doing is getting off the couch to try to encourage that. i...

    Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

    I ordered my second radius last week. 60w purple and bronze, not really sure but think it will have a unique look. Didn't spring for the CZ though now reconsidering. D you think I could send it back for upgrade if I change my mind on that?

    FDA Sen Johnson (R-Wis) demands answers from FDA RE deeming

    I guess i shouldnt be surprised by the level of cynicism out there, but I think folks are forgetting the "math". The folks I met with are mostly on our side and willing to work to change the regulation by changing the law that allows it, but nothing gets through the Senate without 60 votes, and...

    FDA Sen Johnson (R-Wis) demands answers from FDA RE deeming

    I've met with Sen. Johnson's committee several times since the rule went final, and they are being very diligent on this. They do realize the limits of their oversight however, and are considering other options. They can introduce legislation to change the date, or create a workable pathway to...

    What are you vaping right now??

    Limon Watermelon Chill from Element. I normally don't vape menthol, but in this combo it is an excellent refreshing summer vape!

    Official ProVari Radius Thread - Part 2

    In case it helps, I got the 60w midnight blue with gunmetal finish. It may look better with the standard metal finishes. ESP with my top fill Avocado RTA (which I love). Here's a pic:

    Vendors to spend how much for FDA PMTAs?

    So lets change the PMTA requirements. Medical devices that don't have a predicate product can submit a De Novo application which is likely easier than PMTA by far. Testing to show safety and effectiveness is necessary, and use of GMPs, but those are hurdles that ProVape and other good devices...

    FDA Sen Johnson (R-Wis) demands answers from FDA RE deeming

    I know that this is a very widely held belief re what is causing the Prohibitionist approach to Vaping, but it is not really true. In fact BT is fighting side by side to change the predicate date (2/15/07) with us, and also to allow e liquids and mods to have an easier path to approval. Our...

    FDA HR2058 vs Cole-Bishop Amendment

    Yes, you are right about this. And we have Rep. Bishop visiting a e-liquid manufacturer in his district in GA soon. Our real problem is in the Senate. We need to get a decent number of Dems on board in support of changing the date before December. The challenge is that there is no bill per...

    Huge Archive of Medical Research on POSITIVE Effects of Vaping

    I think the last eat researchers to the game may actually influence FDA. David Levy, with the Georgetown Univ. Lombardi Cancer Center is now publishing and speaking about how FDA's approach is likely to harm public health, and Davis Abrams of Truth Initiative, Johns Hopkins, and Georgetown is...

    On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

    Ok, so on stockpiling. I am looking for the best (most durable and part avail) rebuild able tank (prob single coil) to stock up on a few. Have looked at all the Kayfun raves, but at $100 each and family old technology, there must be something better. Or is it all materials and machining? What...

    Vendors to spend how much for FDA PMTAs?

    The FDA regs are impossible to comply with, period. Population level impacts are nearly impossible to quantify -and on so many different devices for each liquid! However, their overreach is their Achille's heel, and we must take advantage. The court proceedings will likely take years, and I...

    FDA Sen Johnson (R-Wis) demands answers from FDA RE deeming

    You are right about the politics, Johnson is the #2 most vulnerable Senator (behind Kirk) and the majority is likely to flip to Dems. But I don't think that should influence our support for his eggs in any way. He is demanding answers that we need and all those in WI should appreciate that...
