    FDA FDA's leaked guidance for PMTAs confirm deeming reg would ban >99.9% of nicotine vapor products

    Lots of speculations, no facts. AEMSA was started by two consumers who saw no "standards" and there are no commercially manufactured and marketed consumable products without regulatory standards. AEMSA is Self-regulation (meaning standards the members choose and agree to for themselves and no...

    FDA FDA's leaked guidance for PMTAs confirm deeming reg would ban >99.9% of nicotine vapor products

    As usual, I do not have time to correspond in ECF but will make this one reply. Yes, it is in prohibited additives - that is the (member voted) policy until they vote otherwise - which they will not do without WTA manufacturer Quantitative GCMS as a starting place for the discussion. This IS...

    FDA FDA's leaked guidance for PMTAs confirm deeming reg would ban >99.9% of nicotine vapor products

    As much as I would like to be able to reply to ECF, FB, etc posts about AEMSA - there just is not enough time in a day. Every so often, I run searches just to see current discussions. WTAs!!! This has been addressed so many times that I am amazed to still see people discussing it like AEMSA...

    I guess the "regulations" are starting.

    Many know AEMSA does not correspond in forums or on social media. As an all volunteer organization, there is just no time. Consumer emails are answered as time permits. I stepped aside from the position of President on 1/1/15 and now serve as president emeritus. Even so I do not have time...

    Fight Fire With Fire

    Sorry, forgot to include this in my last. The problem is - the funding IS NOT COMING. Even counter-propaganda (aka truth dissemination) demands funds to get it into the mainstream media. And, it also needs proof. Various approaches ARE needed, including this one - but it cannot and will not...

    Fight Fire With Fire

    I am not saying politics, political agendas, and/or propaganda and rhetoric aren't a substantial part of the problem and certainly CAN be a valuable direction for progress. One of the main issues is there is no legislation, other than the TCA, under which these products can be regulated. These...

    Fight Fire With Fire

    We have many great associations/organizations and they all can use some help. People power is certainly an asset. All can use monetary donations and they can also all use "foot soldiers" too. There is much work to be done at every level. there are many state level organizations and I would...

    Fight Fire With Fire

    Hi All, I am not one to disagree with other advocates and Roly is extremely knowledgeable. I have great respect for Roly. That said, and while I DO agree with much of his thoughts on this matter, I must post a disagreement to his position: "research isn't the issue" I do agree we are in a...

    The Opus and Opus D with Evolv inside!

    :blush: Not so sure about "right", perhaps a bit experienced. "unemotionally involved", probably - passionately compassionate maybe? Anyway, thanks for kind words:nun: Happy :vapor:

    The Opus and Opus D with Evolv inside!

    Burnside, can offer you a couple things to consider: - You can try using a 510 to 510 adapter and that may make a difference. - repeated prying of the atty's connector pin will eventually ruin that atty (protank), they are not designed to be pried apart. There is a gasket separating that pin...

    Welcome Riley_Martin and Congrats! Happy New Year too! You will find many helpful vapers here. finding the "right" combination of devices, attys/cartos/tanks and liquids is the only real learning curve/hurdle to start and get settled into vaping. Ultimately, the "learning curve" continues as...

    The Opus and Opus D with Evolv inside!

    Generally I try to stay out of these discussions. I am posting this time to hopefully calm the storm before this further escalates as these types of discussions often do. akfo7, I respect your position and concerns. It appears you may be new to vaping (your join date), those of us who've been...

    The Opus and Opus D with Evolv inside!

    can use same charger on either. Charge may be limited by Evolv Board, I use 1A chargers. I charge all my darwins, DNA 12, DNA 20 devices while I sleep - they have "smart charge" circuitry (like cell phones) so safe (don't do that with egos or others w/o "smart charge").

    The Opus and Opus D with Evolv inside!

    For car charging - NEVER - EVER start the car with anything plugged in. Lighter socket is not regulated (at least in most cars - could possibly be in some newer ones now that these sockets are more often used for electronics but I do not know for sure) and car start can send a surge of power...

    The Darwin From Evolv!!!

    I agree with Retired for the most part, but I prefer the Boge 801 cartos. Darwin will handle anything (with correct adapters). Vaping is 100% subjective to personal preference. If your GF is new to vaping, you might consider starting her on gear that is super easy to use like T3 or Evod...
