    Who here is not stocking up in preparation for the May 12th, 2020 Deadline?

    I'm lucky in that I am in Mississippi and we have a pretty strong lobby and have kept almost all those laws from going anywhere. In addition, I am part of the team for Paradigm Vape News and have been keeping up quite closely with all the states in the US and provinces in Canada and what laws...

    Who here is not stocking up in preparation for the May 12th, 2020 Deadline?

    BigPappa, I'm sweating a bit but no panic here. My juices are being submitted and that will add some time. I also think that things are SLOWLY turning around a bit. There is still plenty of potential for it to all go in the crapper but I'm willing to advocate and watch for while before I get...

    Who here is not stocking up in preparation for the May 12th, 2020 Deadline?

    I'm late to this thread but I would have to admit that I am not stocking up. I have a few mods. Batteries are always available. Rebuilding supplies like wire, cotton, etc. are always available. I have never done DIY juice and I'm comfortable that the juice I like will be around past the May...

    FL: Regulation of vape shops amid ‘epidemic’

    I have to wonder if most of the doctors are just parroting the "safe" line concerning vape as it has become a favorite past time in this country to sue and malpractice would be a serious hit to a doctor. They are "experts" in a legal definition and while in the office, any recommendation could...

    Feds PHONY war on Vaping caused Ebay to stop Vaping sales

    Yeah, I don't give my email out just for a "free" account. I have worked in the software industry for about 40 years and that email address is the most valuable thing they get. Sales are nice but that email address keeps selling and selling for them!

    Vista Vapors going out of business.

    Unfortunately, Vista Vapor also appears to have been involved with an online age verification software called EndsVerify. That is now a dead-end product as a result. A lot of smaller online stores use it and it is starting to have problems. No one at home to deal with those problems and no...

    Who is our longest term vaper? Relates to long term effects

    Quite a few of you reminded me of benefits I have received from vaping but the problems were long enough ago that I forget about them. I too used to wake up "coughing a lung up" in the morning. I certainly don't miss the fact that a simple cold could get in my lungs and and the vicious cough...

    If you reside in Virginia, please inform yourself about the following:

    According to the CASAA Call to Action link VA - Stop an Online Sales Ban and Baseless Nicotine Cap (HB 1185), this was voted DOWN by the House Finance Committee!!! Done for now!

    Good Beginner Vape

    I was not a fan of the mod pods but I got given a Vinci. It has the auto draw feature and I really like that. It does have a fire button but I lock it and the auto draw continues to work so I can still vape while it is locked. I have been very pleasantly surprised at the flavor and vapor...

    Who is our longest term vaper? Relates to long term effects

    I am very curious. There is a LOT of talk about not knowing the long term effects of vaping. It has only really been around for a little more than 10 years. Who here has been vaping the longest? I have been vaping for about 8 years. I have seen no bad side effects or health problems. It...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    A lot of these states seem to be sending a small swarm of bills with the least objectionable ones first and then the stronger (read close to or equivalent to a ban) showing up shortly thereafter. The number of CTA's and the list of states on our Paradigm Vape News page is getting long very...

    BigPappa, try this link: Senate Bill 810 (2020) - The Florida Senate 8 yeas and 1 nay in committee and it is now under references review.

    PVN - Paradigm Vape News - Vape news clearinghouse

I haven't found that site so we created that site, Paradigm Vape News, Paradigm Vape News - Complete and current vape news, articles, videos, Call to...

    Buffalo News: Vaping won't vanish, so regulate thoughtfully

    The whole flavors a for kids stuff is such nonsense. I want to see the kitchen cabinets and fridge for anyone that says that. Will they be devoid of spices? Sugar, salt, not to mention the thousands of others. How many will have flavored juice, soda, alcohol, etc. How stupid do you have to...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I think some in the juice industry may surprise you. The estimate of $100k - $200k per SKU are horribly pessimistic estimates. If a manufacturer reads the lastest couple of guidances smartly, then there are some options for doing this for a lot less. It will still be expensive but not nearly...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    My take on the latest guidance papers and statements like the article I posted is that the nit picky "holes" won't be used to kill applications for smaller juice manufacturers. Most of the latest guidance ask for specifics on "quantitative" information. They have a pretty well stated list for...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    I agree, it is a horribly vague statement but they weren't even making noises like this until now. I doubt it will be pretty but if they even move noticeably in this direction, it would be a big help! Now we wait and see if it was just lip service. My suspicion is that they are going to let...

    I really want to quit smoking, been vaping since 2014

    I started vaping in the carto days but didn't stay there long. I have been using tanks for a long time and really didn't like the idea of the pod mods and not a fan of salt nic. Recently, I was given a Vinci. I was basically out of juice and it had a juice in it I liked so I tried it. I have...
