    A new study verifies the lower risk-potential of e-cigarettes but identifies an avoidable risk

    What I would like to see is all liquid manufacturers be able to certify with an organization that can prove their ingredients are tested and safe (like AEMSA or ECITA). Then each vendor can post on their website that their liquid is verified by this organization, and we can doublecheck on that...

    The Dangers of E-Cigarettes: Toxic Metals Exposed

    Yup, I just saw an article on Medical News Today saying that "the secondhand smoke [sic] from e-cigarettes contains certain harmful metals that are significantly higher than those in secondhand smoke from traditional cigarettes." Um, if you look at the actual data, aside from chromium, the...

    FDA So what might really happen with regulations/bans? Should we be stocking up?

    Right on! :toast: And get off my lawn too! Darn kids :D Yeah I love my mod, but I prefer to take an ego or evod when I go out because it fits in my purse better. So sue me :)

    FDA So what might really happen with regulations/bans? Should we be stocking up?

    Thank you Nate and Dr. MA :) nicotine can be beneficial in many ways, and since it's not dangerous (at least at normal vaping levels) it doesn't seem reasonable to deprive yourself of it if you derive some real benefits from it. I can see why some people are very excited to lower their nic...

    Another Bogus Article - The health claims of E-Cigarettes are going up in smoke.

    ^ This! :thumbs: This comment deserves it's own special recognition, thank you! :toast: I couldn't have put it better myself :)

    FDA So what might really happen with regulations/bans? Should we be stocking up?

    They do! I remember when they first started selling those over the counter, I walked into the store one day and saw boxes of nicorette gum in different flavors, and then boxes of patches at different doses, and then I saw the price tags :shock: all I could think was, why would anyone want to...

    Telegraph article claims "i was smoking the equivalent of 40 cigarettes a day"

    I agree wholeheartedly. The problem is getting the word out. When you turn on the TV, try to find a single station that runs commercials which doesn't run any advertisements for pharmaceuticals. Big pharma is by far the most active opponent of vapor technology, and any news station that wants...

    Another Bogus Article - The health claims of E-Cigarettes are going up in smoke.

    This article wraps up two of the most recent issues into one, and paints them both in an extremely negative, and untruthful light. The first, the metals study, actually showed that e-cigarettes are very safe with respect to metal content, but the results are being twisted and contorted to...

    09/10/2014 - Prevention Partners Webinar: The Wild, Wild West of E-Cigarettes

    Ack! :sneaky: All I had to see was "Wild Wild West" in the title to know that someone particularly nefarious is involved. I hear that term so often now in reference to the vapor industry that I'm convinced they're actively trying to turn it into a catch phrase so that anytime someone thinks of...

    FDA FDA bans 7 Star Ariva and Stonewall dissolvable tobacco lozenges (that are very similar to NRT lozenges)

    I do hope you understand I was being heavily sarcastic when I wrote that ;) I am fully aware the FDA (and other organizations) have been doing this for a long, long time... I can't help it; blatant sarcasm runs in my family, and it is incurable :ohmy:

    FDA FDA bans 7 Star Ariva and Stonewall dissolvable tobacco lozenges (that are very similar to NRT lozenges)

    I never said that the deeming regs weren't a smoke screen for a de facto ban; I believe they are, but that is beside the point I was making. I am simply agreeing with jman that technically they aren't banned just because they didn't meet requirements for SE - they still have the opportunity to...

    FDA FDA bans 7 Star Ariva and Stonewall dissolvable tobacco lozenges (that are very similar to NRT lozenges)

    Good points. The FDA does have very strict requirements for SE, and it does not surprise me that these products do not meet those requirements. However, it still begs the question: does this mean the FDA is already enforcing their deeming regulations? Or are they just getting a head start and...

    YouTube video: Julie & Alex

    Great interview, well done guys! :thumbs: I think Julie made an excellent point when she said we each need to be willing to talk about vaping and share our story. I agree, it is ultimately important to be willing to discuss your success in smoking cessation or reduction with people who don't...

    WHO repeats false and misleading fear mongering claims about e-cigs, urges vaping bans everywhere

    Excuse me for a moment while I add "sub-normal" to my dictionary :D your husband sounds awesome by the way! :thumb: Well done!

    This is my third time attempting vaping.. Think i'm allergic. :/

    I agree with others, please do not do a scratch test! You are reacting to something you're vaping, not something you're putting on your skin. There's no way of knowing how you'll react to that. Also, if you just test the solution you already have, you won't find out what you're allergic to...

    FDA So what might really happen with regulations/bans? Should we be stocking up?

    It's kinda hard to vape more than I do :D I am looking into upgrading my equipment to get more out of it so I can drop my nic level a little, and be able to go longer without it (or at least be able to use up all this 18 mg my mom gave me). I do seem to get more nic when I use my nemesis mod...

    BBC - E Cig Killers Hawk Poison Nicotine Juice in Tyneside

    This article is rigged. They say they found diacetyl but did not say the amount they found (let us harken back to the days of old when the FDA found TSNA's in cartridges but conveniently left out that they were at the same levels you would find in nicotine gum). Then they throw in a couple of...

    FDA So what might really happen with regulations/bans? Should we be stocking up?

    That's exactly how I found out how big the difference actually was. I filled my tank with some 18 mg thinking it was 24, and went about my day. Yeah, I certainly noticed the difference. Two things here: 1) It really is unusual for someone to drop their nic level that dramatically and not...

    Interesting, perhaps the same thing going on with our vapes?

    CNN is pretty bad, but I still trust them a lot more than Natural News.........

    WHO repeats false and misleading fear mongering claims about e-cigs, urges vaping bans everywhere

    Someone just posted last week that the health ministry of India now intends to ban e-cigs. Not restrict, ban! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/law-e-cigarette/596854-my-blood-boiling-mad.html And now the WHO is right on their heels, pushing them to do it :evil: We're talking about over...
