    Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

    Frankly I don't understand your point, but I will agree that the suppliers made a key tactical mistake in mixing the call to action with a tease on an announcement. They should have been separated.

    Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

    The question was not about disclosure nor was it about liability. The question was whether or not JC had done all it could to "ensure" FDA approval. The truth is that they have no standing to do so nor do any of the US suppliers - they are too small and could not prove that they could adhere to...

    Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

    Sorry, no they don't. Their responsibility is to make sure that they adhere to all applicable laws. There is no legal requirement for "ensure"-ance, as you put it. Nor is there a moral requirement when the legal requiremement would outstrip the entrepreneurial entity to exceed its capacity for...

    Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

    Johnson's Creek hardly qualifies as a manufacturer in a legal sense or even by common sense standards. The cost of FDA approval for something of this magnitude is going to run to millions of dollars and is not intended for small businesses. Think about what you are saying, JC not only could not...

    Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

    I am not a supplier and have no dog in this fight, except a desire for easy access to the supplies I need to vape. The suppliers do not, in fact, have the responsibiity here. The manufactureres do. When Wyeth comes out with a new drug, Walgreens does not petition the FDA for approval to sell it...

    Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

    My understanding with thsi stuff is to be very honest about your *own* personal experience and nothing else. No grand policy statements or anything like that. We have all heard the politicians on the stump read a story from "my friend Joanna in Japip. She tells the story of how her...." That's...

    Now is the Time To Act! I am Serious! **updated**

    Umm, aren't we supporting the action to delay a ban on PVs? I'm not sure why we are getting confused by supporting suppliers. The only call to action is for US vapers to contact their leaders via certfied mail. Let's not lose focus.

    Call to Action

    If you haven't already seen or heard the news, the American FDA is planning to step up its efforts to take action against personal vaporizers/e-cigarettes. American vapers are being urged to contact the senators on the Health Commitee with a certified letter that tells *your* story. Just be...

    Thanks very much for posting this, it will be helpful. You are recommending sending these by certified mail, is that right?

    BesteCig BE112 questions

    I ditched my 901s after getting BE112s. The convenience of the big cart and battery is great. But the BE112 batteries take some getting used to. At the end of the day, I got eastmall and ruyandirect batteries to go with the BE112 atomizers and it is cheap and functional. But the big size...

    What was your motivation...some food for thought...

    I started to vape to quit smoking. I have cut down nic and have not had a nic juice since back in February. I do not plan on quitting vaping - I love the whole act of smoking: the deep breaths, the excuse to go outside on a nice day, the break from routine, the whole thing. No other replacement...

    Philly South Jersey Folks?

    Checking in from Broomall, just south and west of Philly. Mudshark: I love your avatar. Does a transition from analogs to vapes constitute conceptual continuity :)?

    Any chance those new flavors will include 0 nic juice?

    Electronic Cigarette Interview with David Sweanor

    "Campaigns based on making better people rather than making people better are driven by moral concerns rather than public health concerns." I think I may have a man-crush going here.

    WESH: Smokeless Cigarettes Deliver Nicotine Electronically

    I don't think this is a tax issue. The federal government hasn't cared about balancing books or fiscal responsibility for ages. This is about the continuing dumbing down of governance issues by small, but vigorous, special interest groups that spout nonsense that "reporters" are only happy to...

    Vaping Haikus

    Vaping won't be officially "mature" until and unless we can prove our haiku prowess. It won't change the FDA's decision, fix your atomizer, or find that lost cartidge that's been at large under the chaise lounge for several weeks. But it can make your forget about them for like 30 seconds. Try...

    Love being on the pipe!

    Really? I will try that. I have never modded these things. What woudl I use? I have a dremel - or is it as simple as using a chisel or file?

    Love being on the pipe!

    I'm not sure that will work. the pipe atomizers don't draw well on either of my 801 batts (BE112 from best ecig and eastmall's 801). The hole design, looking down from the battery end, is different from regular 801s. The pipe has a notch near the atomizer thet it seems to breathe through and I...

    DSE801 "Penstyle" Review after 2 months

    I got the EastMall 801 about 10 days ago, if that helps. But the best ecig is definitely the larger of the two.
