    That would be nice. The problem is that (a) any government action costs about 100 times the commercial rate, and (b) the FDA's job is to kill off vaping. At least, as far as they are able to - which means they'll have to leave the big cigarette firms standing, plus one or two giants like Blu and...

    Thanks Kurt. Didn't mean free, just a reliable source for the tests. That answers it. It also means that a vendor who places an Enthalpy Labs test certificate on their website will get consumer confidence. I'm surprised that this isn't used as a marketing advantage. As far as marketing goes...

    @Dr F or Kurt Is it likely that an analysis facility will be provided for vendors, considering that the method used appears to be critical?

    Mods will be deleting posts in this thread soon unless people stay calm and avoid getting drawn into arguments, especially of a personal nature. No more, please. Thank you.

    What is up with this "Sub-ohm advisory"?

    All of this only applies to people customising their gear to the ultimate: using non-standard battery set-ups, and rebuilding their coils to pull super high amp loads. It has no application at all to ordinary vaping. [sorry, co-post]

    New forum template - Monday

    On Monday 28th, the forum will have a new default skin. It's currently available now as an option if you'd like to try it: go to the spin box at the bottom left of the page and select 'E-Cigarette-Forum'. The 'template' is the layout directions for the page, and gives it the shape, color and...

    What is up with this "Sub-ohm advisory"?

    I remember the last time this kind of stuff happened, it was with mechmods the last go around. There were things happening that people didn't know about, so when I posted some cautions about going too far, there was a tremendous pushback. Everybody and his dog was telling me I had gone too far...

    What is up with this "Sub-ohm advisory"?

    Sorry, which part is incorrect, specifically? As regards the toxic adulterants (diacetyl etc.), 7 out of 10 e-liquids tested recently contained them even though all vendors claimed they were clean. You can ignore what any vendor tells you and assume the product is contaminated since the odds...

    Possibly, what he meant to say was: If vaping is 1/100th as dangerous as smoking, you would need more than 100 new lifelong vapers (that otherwise would not have vaped) per new vaper who has quit smoking for there to be a net negative public health impact. Since vaping most likely has a base...

    In vaping it's all down to the equipment available plus fashion. Boxmods can use a parallel battery circuit, but tubemods can only use single or series circuits. Because tubemods are where it's at right now (mechmods), there isn't really an option to use a parallel battery set-up. You'd get...

    As far as we know, sub-ohming has little elevation of risk. Specifically, there are no battery-related incidents reported*. Remember that even the Provari has multiple reports of battery meltdowns, so a sense of proportion needs to be maintained. As regards overheating the refills, that is a...

    Apologies, that thread was in a restricted access area for IRC Mods. Moved to an open access area.

    I have seen literally hundreds of posts here on ECF warning people that "sub-ohming is dangerous". It seemed important to point out that, as far as we know, it isn't. We have zero reports of injury or any other harm. This is an important issue because when something definitely is dangerous...

    You are absolutely right, this was a typo as what I meant was fraud. I've altered the post accordingly.

    I'm getting disgusted!!

    Let's try to maintain the mature and reasoned sophistication of the first page or two, please. If you'd like to start a fight then invite all comers to your town square at a given date and time, and have it filmed for our entertainment. Just not here, thanks :)

    ^^ This! :D Hey, you forgot the shills, crazies, messiahs, political believers, terminally naive, and all the rest... This is the only thing to argue with but then I'm having an acute cynicism attack today due to running out of the appropriate medicine (Calvados).

    Thanks. Re #1, the latest study to address this is Kosmider et al. Will see if I can find a link. #2. See the posts by Dr Farsalinos and Kurt Kistler ('Kurt'), his co-author (a pro chemist who has been advising us on ECF for 4 or 5 years) on ECF in the thread 'Donate to Dr Farsalinos study'...

    Fair enough. I write material that I know to be correct based on either experience of the millions of posts on ECF, my engineering background, research that I have read and know to be valid, the advice of professionals in any area that I am not competent to make judgements in, and especially a...

    I think we need the FDA, I really do.

    The world's oldest and most successful regulatory schemes are the trade self-regulation systems, the goldsmiths of London for example. Everybody in the world probably knows of them, through hallmarks.
