    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...

    FDA Synthetic nicotine not subject to FDA rules

    Well, if all else fails there's this TFN NICOTINE® Is Not A Tobacco Product But the FDA's stance on nicotine-free liquids is still clear as mud to me.

    Kayfun v5: Does yours leak?

    My authentic leaks so bad I had to put it up. Changed o-rings twice using spare Svoemesto o-ring kits supplied specifically for this tank. It always leaks through the air slots. Waiting on some generic o-rings from Fasttech. Maybe I'll fare better with those. I've got three Kayfun 5's... an...

    FDA WV Politician takes on FDA

    Go to about 8:00. Larry Faircloth (Delegate from WV) explains what an elected official can do via a lawsuit that consumers can't. I think I just found someone to donate my meager litigation fund to. :)

    Why did Nicopure file so soon... and alone?

    Seems like other companies will now just let Nicopure foot the bill, cross their fingers and stay in a holding pattern. I was hoping for a coalition of resources. Then again, I just vaped $60 worth of Tribeca in like 30 minutes so maybe they can afford it. :|

    I still like cartos....

    There. I said it. Color me a geezer but damn it... they just taste good. Every hit is the same, no wasted juice, no tools - they're just simple. Closest thing to a real "smoke" to me. I'd forgotten those days. Yeah, I have RBA's-a-plenty, Drippers too. Many different tanks. Just cleaning out...

    FDA Response to my inquiry from Nicotine Supplier

    As you can respect, we have not fully digested the entire 499 pages of regulations. However, we don’t see an issue at the moment as our supplier is registered as a tobacco manufacturer and we only sell diluted nicotine solutions which can be used in a variety of applications other than vaping...

    Where is Kayfun 4.0?

    Release it already! I hope it's a top filler and air adjustable without needing a hydraulic tool set. Would be nice if it could neuter my neighbor's dog as well but I ain't holdin' my breath for that one. Oh, and put thumb screw posts on the build deck with those little mounting holes for us...

    So I ordered something from Fastech...

    ...back in June. I'm curious. Do they strap packages to the backs of sea turtles then point them toward the USA? I'm not a young guy anymore. Should I consider revising my will to leave it to someone when it arrives? I've already got my nursing home picked out with a postal forwarding address...

    There is nothing more exciting than...

    ...watching your e-juice steep. 8 days, 4 hours, 33 minutes to go for my Custard. Between juice checks, I also rebuilt my Kayfun, picked up that organic cotton ball off the floor that's been bothering me for 2 weeks, moved from the sofa to the recliner and then fixed Mrs. Kodiak's dryer (I...

    Does nicotine change flavor?

    I know this has been asked but I never paid attention to the answers. :) I got a free zero nic sample from a supplier. It was wonderful. I then ordered it with a 24mg nicotine level (2.4%) and it didn't taste quite the same. Tried again with 18mg nic levels and still, not the same as that zero...

    A question for the ladies here...

    Why (oh why) do you gals insist that when "us guys" put something of ours away we really didn't mean to put it "there"? (Therefore you move it. :confused:) Mrs. Kodiak threw away a brand spankin' new 250ml bottle of e-liquid I had steeping way up high in a cupboard. (She thought it was old dog...

    So I'm rummaging through a drawer...

    ... and found some unused BOGE low resistance cartomizers I never used. Just for grins I filled a few up and have been vaping them exclusively for the past 10 days. I forgot how simple things used to be and reminded myself that a good vape doesn't take much effort, money, or a whole lotta...

    FDA Old FDA comment site closed. Where is new one?

    Comments are now closed. The above link only worked until July 9 and there's been a 30 day extension. Anyone know where the "new" commenting form is? Why the hell they can't leave the current one active is beyond me. Edited: I erroneously assumed the comment period was over. It isn't.

    What is the lifespan of an MVP2? (Charge cycles)

    It's been discussed but I can't find it. So, maybe 300-500 cycles? What's the oldest one here and how does the old guy still perform in its feeble state? Mine is 3 months old - still new with maybe 75 charge cycles. I don't notice any day to day difference and typically just charge it once in...

    Appreciating the Basics

    So I still have a a few dozen plain 2.0 ohm BOGE cartomizers laying around. I've been loading a couple up these past few weeks and take 'em with me. I kind of missed them. The flavor and throat his is awesome and they're small enough to carry by the pocketful. Still mainly use my Kayfun...

    FDA So where is the outcry from the vendors?

    Hey vendors (and sanctioned ECF suppliers)... after perusing a lot of sites, it looks like "business as usual". Where are the links to the FDA proposals (on your MAIN pages)? <crickets chirping> Thanks ECBlends Have you explained to your loyal customer base how this might affect you...

    FDA Well, at least I have this...

    FDA E-Cig Regulations Disappoint Democrats, Cheer Industry It's hard find the rose in the cesspool but *for me*, any time proponents of regulation are "not happy", I smile. (just a little). Durbin and Waxman... go balance a budget or something. Or better yet, just retire your looney asses and...

    I just find it ironic...

    ...that the Federal Government is so worried about the kiddies and nicotine, yet during the same week contemplate the release of 1000's of convicted drug peddler's from prison. Wow. Just wow.
