    Vaping Zone Concentrated DIY Flavors

    Off topic a bit - I got more VZ SC flavors recently and haven't really tested them. I mixed some up but haven't rewicked yet and wouldn't test them on a used wick. But I love the 50ml empty PET bottles I got along with them. On the website I couldn't tell if they were LDPE (Milky color soft...

    Wrong nicotine content in eliquid

    There was a BT lab speaker at the recent FDA workshop who had tested nicotine degradation under extreme conditions - hot and dry and hot and humid - and found a 70% loss of nicotine in ecigs. I forget if it was 6months or 1year. In any case, the level of nic at the time of manufacture is...

    Is this what wil replace vaping if FDA has it's way?

    Seems about 20 years ago? My sister lived in an area that was a test market for one of these. You light a little pointed charcoal. I don't know if it had nicotine embedded in the charcoal or if it was baking nearby tobacco. They never sold them where I lived. They were harder to light and...

    FDA E-cig opponents in Congress urge State AGs to lobby for FDA deeming reg/ban & risk their political careers by unlawfully suing e-cig companies under M

    It means more than that. If they did get e-cig companies to participate/sign on to the MSA, to agree to not advertize on TV and billboards, then they would also be offering them immunity from civil suits in exchange for paying into the MSA settlement to states, the American Legacy Foundation...

    New Canadian poll finds 63% of vapers who quit smoking, and 96% of never smokers who vape use NO NICOTINE vapor products

    Some cessation-effectiveness studies match nic-e-cigs vs non-nic-e-cigs as a control. The Nic versions help twice as many people quit. But if the habit portion is such a big factor then I expect that the control groups had a lot more quitters than a 'nothing at all' control group would have...

    Interesting - the order - the kinds of cost related - the known costs that aren't mentioned.

    Well that article doesn't say anything about a gas can stored inside. Storing gas cans inside is a really bad idea and should - does - have idiot-lablels prominantly posted. LI-Ion batteries are even more dangerous used in packs of 4 or more like in electric drills, e-bikes, RC toys (big boys...

    USA Today hit piece alledging "gateway"

    What bothers me is when they cite more kids having accurate perceptions as being a concern. Cigarettes amoung youth was 'daring' and doing something risky without, or in defiance of, adult permission. If kids percieve it as non-risky - it breaks the mold. If, in fact its only as risky as red...

    Call to Action: Ask Your Legislators to Support a Change to the Tobacco Control Act

    We had a Pat Murphy here in PA - an Iraq vet - he proposed one bill regarding veterans and didn't win re-election. I remember more the young lady he sent around to ask if/why he should run again - she was really lovely. Anyway your Pat seems to have someone sharp on his staff. "Though the...

    Call to Action: Ask Your Legislators to Support a Change to the Tobacco Control Act

    Fact is, a letter from Beohner to the FDA means almost nothing, Beohners power is not in writing letters but in changing laws. The Law that was passed that gives FDA Power, doesn't let them change the grandfather date just because they get a letter from the house leadership. So whats needed...

    Hawii Five-o Nicotine Poisoning?

    I heard a story where the US ?CIA? tried to assasinate Fidel Castro with a nicotine concentrate - the sulfate used as insecticide for crops. We all know its likely to be detected in a drink and provoke severe vomitting that would usually expel so much that its not truely dangerous. But perhaps...

    Greg Conley has a great voice too - sounded twice as loud and just the right speed to make you wake up and listen without fealing sure you were being yelled-at. Has anyone seen an overview on the british and french standards in development referred to? Inhalation Toxicology - is that all...

    FDA Boehner asks FDA to move Grandfathering date to April 2014 or time of final rule

    As I understand it - a new regulation can be stopped by congress via a Joint Resolution - Both houses passing a law basically, with majority votes etc. Seems extremelly unlikely for a cigar/ecig regulation that affects under 15% of their constituents. Hence you saw a lot of references last...

    FDA The FDA and Pharma: Big Drug's Nicotine War

    How did smokeless get included into FSPTCA while cigars/pipes were left out? This seems real important with the highest and lowest risk products getting lumped together and they have been muddying the waters ever since, treating the two - and therefore all tobacco - as equally risky...
