    Deeming regs claim a major victim.

    Not sad at all. If you can appreciate some good old American craftsmanship and some "heft" in your hand then you should. Well, if the timing allows them to blame the FDA then I say why the hell not? Certainly can't hurt the cause.

    FDA FDA Released New Interpretation of Compliance Policy Guidance PDF

    So much for the written audit trail. Did you really expect some low-level FDA grunt to risk their career by "free styling" a response? Again, what you look for is not in the deeming because nobody thought they'd have to explain that it's ok to do whatever you want in your own home for your own...

    FDA Cole-Bishop: New FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017

    Actually, I think it pushes other e-cig related things to 21 months after this act is passed. Could be looking at stuff on the market as late 2019 as being exempt. :)

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I don't think insurance companies care. Patches, gum, chew... if nicotine is found in your system you'll pay more. As far as telling a physician? I wouldn't and don't tell them I ingest nicotine. They're too quick to blame everything from a hangnail to cardiac arrest on vaping because of the...

    FDA Cole-Bishop: New FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017

    If I'm reading it right on batteries... nothing happens until way down the road: (2) FINAL STANDARDS.—Not later than 24 months after the date of enactment of this Act Not sure if a PMTA will be needed either. Hell, I can't see the entire 18650 industry being subjected to it anyway. Tesla would...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I have been vaping clone BVC's from China. Half the price and can't tell the difference. And like you say... there are a lot of Nautilus users out there. If I had to guess (just a guess), I'd say these are the #1 selling coils on the planet. As long as they continue to ask me if I "smoke", I'll...

    FDA Cole-Bishop: New FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017

    This has been floating around here at ECF. Thought it deserved a thread of its own: Cole and Bishop Introduce The FDA Deeming Authority Clarification Act of 2017 At the end of the article there is a PDF link to the full legislation. I love these guys. And for the neanderthals vaping at 3...

    Reason: Study Confirms Health Advantages of Vaping

    For all our vaping brethren across the pond, this is why the U.S. continuously rejects your sound science and facts: Why Vaping is Safer in the UK than in the US "In the US, nicotine is now the target of politicians and anti-smoking groups, not the tar and carcinogens killing people who smoke...

    New Aspire Nautilus 2 tank just released!

    Doesn't seem to matter how tight I keep the coils on the full size nautilus or mini after each fill. They still get stuck in the shaft every so often.

    New Aspire Nautilus 2 tank just released!

    The inherent flaw in this thing is the coil placement. What do you do when you unscrew the top to fill and the coil comes out of its base? Is their enough room for your fingers to reinsert it? This happens with the original Nautilus but being bottom-fillers you can at least reinsert the coil easily.

    Reason: Study Confirms Health Advantages of Vaping

    Another UK study. Brits must have some interesting anatomy because most studies in the U.S. "mysteriously" produce different results. Amazing. The U.K. needs a Master (tobacco) Settlement brib... err, "agreement" with Big Tobacco where the U.S. government coffers go "ka-ching" for every...

    Upgrade from iStick Pico + Melo III Mini

    Don't mind me. I was told by grandkids that I'm getting old so I must (by decree) lecture young people on the virtues of saving money. It's what us geezers do. Now everyone... please turn your thermostats down to 65 and limit your hot showers to 2 minutes please. :)

    Efest, questions

    There's a reason why the eFest logo is an exploding flame. Ok, I kid but in this climate I'd seriously consider changing that.

    Upgrade from iStick Pico + Melo III Mini

    Use the money for coils and a battery or two? I'll never understand this, "It's not broke so I must fix it!" mentality. :)

    newbie question about ohm...thanks

    The wattage only "needs" to be what you want it to be to suit your taste. One setting is not better than the other. We're all different.

    how are people here on 0mg coping with coming off nic?

    Went from 12mg to 24mg myself. What's the point in vaping if you're worried about the nic? Hell, exactly *what isn't* bad for you these days? Besides, the "harm" is way overblown.

    FDA Q&A with David Sweanor | Nicopure Labs

    Yes. But I use the word "hate" too loosely myself. More like despise or denigrate. These days, outside their own circles most smokers are generally looked down upon in my experience. Just remember back 30 years and see the progression. It has gone from genuine "health" concerns to downright...

    FDA Q&A with David Sweanor | Nicopure Labs

    As have I. There is this snobbish, "holier-than-thou" arrogance among many non-smokers who all too often feel the need to chastise and lecture. Usually accompanied by fake coughing fits. :) I'd be curious to hear if this culture of anti-smoking fanaticism exists to this degree in other countries.

    FDA Q&A with David Sweanor | Nicopure Labs

    On the contrary; The hatred and demonizing of smoking is part of our culture now. Fueled by ideologues in congress who empower the FDA with policy. And vaping is right in that mix.
