    Contaminated Juul pods

    All true, but as to this specific story that article was not in any sort of mainstream news media. It’s a blurb in a newsletter hyping the research being done at the institution. They want it to look like their institution is doing all sorts of worthy work to hopefully get more donations to...

    Can anyone tell me if Smok Pod devices are any good ?

    Some people like them. However they’re known for poor quality control and high early failure rates. There are many more pod systems out there that are far more reliable and less likely to crap out after 2-3 days.

    Contaminated Juul pods

    @zoiDman thanks for the link. Reads like a graduate student’s summer project with simple to do testing and lots of data massaging in SPSS. My favorite is from the discussion. “Although no scientific evidence supports a hypothesis that current observed levels of endotoxin and glucan in ECs...

    Fast tech vs sourcemore

    Only difference I notice for sure is that Wanb (thanks, I can never remember the name of it, and there are a few other private shippers) ships to their "own" warehouse in LA and clears customs at that site. USPS ePacket can come in through several "ports" depending where in the US you're...

    Contaminated Juul pods

    Well, I wish they identified the precise class they found as forms of Glucan are used as dietary supplements, can stimulate the immune system (maybe why they worry about lung tissue) and can have anti-cancer properties. There are different Glucans with varying structure. To suggest using it as a...

    Good morning shiners! Off to a wet weekend here, but it's still warmish so all's good. Did a marathon rewicking yesterday, still getting over the nic rush this morning.

    If you go that route be sure not to confuse the spray bottle with your Windex.

    Good morning shiners! Happy Friday! After all the bribes I handed out for that medical test yesterday, I'll be packageless for a few weeks. I'll live vicariously through you guys. Which isn't terrible as I still have some stuff still boxed I haven't even gotten a chance to play with yet.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    They do admit with their "limited resources" priority will be directed at products most likely to appeal to or be used by underage users. That enforcement will be decided on a case by case basis. Even they recognize the problems of policing such a diverse industry. It sucks, but some...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    53 pages of which much is already known. May 12, 2020 sounds worse and worse. But I did like this one paragraph. "Of particular concern are the design features that appear to make the cartridge-based products so popular with young people. Attributes typically present in cartridge-based products...

    I took one of those online courses that promises at least a 90% pass rate if I slip the tester $20. Decided to go with $50 to be absolutely sure. I hate failing exams.

    My Mod Has Been Held Up By Customs

    Wow. I misread your post that customs showed Vape gear as prohibited. Reread and it’s not. Big sigh of relief. Agree with everyone else, patience, grasshopper.

    China Effectively Bans Online Sales of E-Cigarettes

    It applies internally to China. No effect on exports at all. Hurts Chinese companies looking to expand within China, but not affecting sales anywhere overseas.

    Might be a little tougher for her in the future. Losing 25,000 jobs by alienating Amazon didn’t go over all that well with her constituency who would have really liked those jobs. And she’s sure not ever going to bring in any little pet project for her district. She might be safe for 2020, but...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    The problem with primary out incumbents is that got me AOC. There’s gotta be a more reliable method. I like term limits. I like a line item veto and balanced budgets. I also like unicorns and rainbows. At least rainbows are occasionally around.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    So Vape shops now have another 5 months to sell off stock and switch to all CBD products. Apparently folks think CBD cures all, so that market is intact for a while. I hope there’s a healthy market for CBD squonk “vaporizers”
