    I heard an anti vape commercial on my local radio station today!

    It may not be as simple as that. Studies show the dose-response relationship of smoking is not linear where cardiovascular effects are concerned (it is in the case of cancer). From a paper published in Am J Public Health: So, smoking just a few cigs a day does appreciable damage regardless...

    Snopes investigation of FB post claim

    I posted in that reddit thread a lot yesterday. One thing I find interesting is that the woman who made the FB post has not responded to a single inquiry about the case, even though tons of people have messaged her about it. It's becoming clear to me that she is just a troll or someone with an...

    First death from vaping, or publicity stunt? The latter.

    The Snopes people contacted the Jacksonville Mayo Clinic and so far have been able to find no confirmation that such an event ever happened. When they called the clinic, the PR department said they had been swamped with calls all day asking about the rumor, so apparently lots of other people...

    There's a big difference in DAP and GMO's. There's is no real science that says GMO's are harmful to human health, while there is a lot of science that says DA/AP are harmful when inhaled.

    The latter. Someone linked a research paper on this very topic the other day. Essentially the guy said that even though cigarette smoke has DA/AP in it, the puff topograhpy (how it is inhaled) is different from e-cigs. Cigarette smoke may not make it as deep in the lung (the mouth and trachea...

    You bring up a good point about "well aged" juice. I am not a chemist, but it is my understanding that diacetyl is found in beer/wine because of the fermentation process. It makes one wonder if some sort of similar reaction is occurring in e-juice as it oxidizes. We already know acetoin can...

    The VG/PG and nicotine have little to do with diacetyl/AP. I would be shocked if any major vendor is not using USP grade PG/VG/nicotine in 2015.

    Busardo doesn't appear to be happy about it. He was in the chat room during Russ's show. But I seriously doubt he will ever go public in a video about it, or if he does he wont name names.

    It's true that we don't know all the facts about vaping, but this doesn't mean we don't know some things about it. The fact that DA/AP are linked to serious lung diseases is not speculation.

    Diacetyl is found in cigarette smoke, meaning it is there after the tobacco has been burned. So, your hypothesis is wrong. A better explanation is that the diacetyl enters the lungs differently in cigarette smokers than it does factory workers breathing it in the ambient air. In other...

    The FDA is going to regulate e-cigs regardless of what we say and they have had the whole diacetyl issue on their radar for years. Various scientists back in March at the FDA workshop further elaborated on the harms of DA/AP and I can assure you those talks didn't fall on deaf ears. The FDA...

    I don't know if that's true. At the FDA conference they had someone present a talk about their own research in the lab. They found that e-cig aerosol is a bit smaller (in particle size) than the aerosol of cigarettes. Cigarette smoke is mostly sub micron while e-cig aerosol had more nano...

    It really sucks that DA/AP taste so good. Why must all the good stuff be bad for us? :(

    Uh, no. The DNA-40 is made and assembled in Ohio. Most of the parts for the board are sourced from the U.S., though there are likely parts from China. But the board was designed and assembled in the USA.

    OSHA is not part of CDC. You're thinking of NIOSH. And NIOSH has indeed provided recommended exposure limits. The problem is that NIOSH's recommendations cannot be legally enforced. That's where OSHA comes in -- their recommendations are legally enforceable but they have so far failed to...

    Yeah and people make a lot out of 5P's own results being lower. That's true. C9's results showed 2500ppm on one liquid, where 5P's showed about 900ppm. Either number is far too high. Even 5P's lower number is far more than is found in cigarette smoke. I highly suggest anyone interested in...

    I really suggest anyone interested in the DA/AP topic watch that video. Dr. Hobbs is one of the foremost experts in the world on the subject. Also, the whole video is worth a watch. Lots of scientific papers presented and expert panels on the safety of e-cigs. Dr. Farsilinos gives a talk as...

    I think the 5P testing was done before this whole thing became an issue, which is why people are so ...... off. 5P knew about the DA/AP (from their own testing) and continued to tell customers that the liquid did not contain either chemical (various people have e-mails from 5P saying they are...
