    Propylene Glycol - THE Dubd1c3 Poll

    SINCE YOU SAW THIS POLL YOU MUST VOTE TO MAKE THE POLL STATISTICALLY ACCURATE I am trying to define a percentage of people who are allergic to propylene glycol. I do not want this poll to become a "how many people are allergic" poll. It has to be a percentage, which means, since you read...

    In your life, have you ever quit and 'relapsed' back into smoking? What was it like? - A Dubd1c3 Poll

    I'd like to collect some account as to what going back to smoking was like. This poll is not to imply that you returned to smoking after using PVs. This is a general relapse poll about any time you ever relapsed. I don't really like the term 'relapsed.' I will say 'returned to...

    I feel the registered ECF suppliers should link the petition on their sites.

    Doesn't it make sense that the registered suppliers here on ECF should have some kind of visibility or awareness of the http://ecigssavelives.info/ petition on their site? It would get a bunch more signatures IMO. Suppliers should do something simple like this to get in the legal fight. I...

    Can you make a special thread where people can only reply one time?

    I have no idea why I would want this but let's suppose you wanted to make some clean threads where you have one chance to "tell your story" and that's it. I'm not punching the 1st amendment in the face, I'm just saying I think there are certain threads that are built for "one reply only...

    Maybe the issue is geopolitical... (USA v China)

    So... Perhaps the current governmental stance on e-cigs is literally due to the fact that they came from China. If you think about it, the cigarette is 100% American invented industry. Soon enough China is like, "behold, our superior approach" and then USA is like, "whatever USA #1" If I...

    How do you defend this case? This argument concerns me

    This train of thought had me awake and staring at the ceiling. BE AWARE: This is a devil's advocate thread. BE AWARE, we MIGHT have to address these scenarios in real life in the future. :evil: It is well known that one of the arguments of anti-smoking groups is that vaping will recruit...

    Statistics only admin could know...

    I would just like to know.... How many ECF Veterans are there? How many ECF members have opted to become "contributing members?" How many suppliers have joined ECF? IMO, these stats would help show the true power of ECF

    Politically confused. Are NRTs drugs? Is nicotine addiction a disease?

    So I need to understand.. FDA says e-cigs are treating nicotine addiction, while we say we see them as cigarette substitutes... a competitor, if you will. So, 1) Does FDA view nicotine addiction as a disease 2) Does FDA view all tobacco users as addicts 3) Does FDA consider Pharm NRT...

    Patent Discussion- do all e-cig manufacturers pay Ruyan royalties?

    So I love the Joye products, haven't tried Ruyan. Ruyan is original patent holder, so are they getting royalties from all these other manufacturers? Or are the manufacturers finding ways around the patent? I do know Ruyan's original atty design is ultrasonic, and Joye and others are...

    Proposals on how to replace lost State tax revenue?

    By the time all smokers in my State Michigan are finished smoking 1 PACK of cigarettes, Michigan just made $3.1 million. ON ONE PACK. If I were on the budget committee, I would be like hey, these e-cigs are well and good but if our tax revenue cuts in half in ten years, we need to figure out...

    Vaping is to Smoking as... can you think of analogies?

    Just curious about whether we can come up with some good or funny analogies that also ring true. Think back to your SAT days.... An analogy can be written out like this: "Vaporizer is to cigarette as graphite is to lead." or put in analogic notation like this: Vaping : Smoking...

    Would vapor damage/kill/prevent regeneration of celia in trachea/bronchii?

    Celia are tiny hairs that transport mucus and particles up through the bronchii and windpipe. When you smoke analogs, you paralyze the celia, cause it to become brittle, eventually kill it. This leads to... problems. When you quit smoking, with some luck the celia will begin to regrow and...

    Classification of e-cigarettes as tobacco products = illegal to purchase online?

    Soo... The Internet Tobacco Sales Enforcement Act implies that if e-cigarettes are branded as tobacco products, it will become GROSSLY difficult to get them over the Internet. Possibly ILLEGAL. I know here in Michigan it is illegal to purchase analog cigarettes over the Internet. It might...

    It's almost like electronic cigarettes woulda/coulda/shoulda been called "nico-rettes..."

    When you think about it... The word cigarette kind of means "little cigar" or "female cigar" Assuming the brand name never existed, nico-rette would be quite an accurate descriptor of the device. I have heard a campaign for calling them "vaporettes" - interesting, yet somehow not quite...
