I agree, zoiDman, and between that and the accelerated PMTA timeline dictated by Judge Grimm, it's looking rather, well, grim.

Yup, haha, thanks NCC. Unfortunately, I can't seem to fix it now!

New FDA head would have the authority to replace Zeller but I haven't heard any talk that is planned either. However, Woodcock's background is pharma so she is more likely to let Zeller steer the boat when it comes to tobacco regs whereas someone like Sarfstein, who has connections to Bloomberg...

I agree, zoiDman, but that nomination could be a good thing for vaping or a bad thing. The two front runners being considered are actually the topic of next week's blog post so I just spent a bunch of time researching them (Woodcock and Sarfstein). They are likely to take very different...

The Biden Administration is apparently considering requiring tobacco companies to cut the nicotine levels in cigarettes to "nonaddictive or minimally addictive levels." But that's not all. Menthol cigarettes will be banned as well. There's a lot of misinformation and speculation about the plans...

Plan ahead to make sure you don't run out of vape juice on New Year's Eve! 'Tis the season for postal delays as the USPS deals with the massive holiday rush. Remember, those USPS shipping times are not guaranteed and we're seeing lots of delays right now. Also, don't forget, we'll be closed...

In this round up of recent developments on the vaping regulations front, there are some winners, some losers and one "What the #$%$!?" Vaping Regulation Roundup P.S. Interesting new developments in California, update in next blog post!

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope everyone in our vape family is enjoying the holiday! Love, Kai's Virgin Vapor

ZoiDman, excellent point about the media confusion between a mod and an actual battery cell. And I agree, sonicbomb, if it was a spare battery and not a mod, it really should be called a battery accident and not a vaping accident!

A Nottinghamshire, England vaper suffered gruesome injuries after his e-cig battery went into thermal meltdown in his pocket. But what was the real cause of the accident and could it have been avoided? Man Severely Burned in Vaping Accident

Haha, no kidding! Try to find logic in San Francisco banning vape products from being sold or shipped anywhere in the city but allowing cigarettes at every gas station! Grrr!

Interesting questions, CAAB, I haven't tried or played with TFN myself so I don't know the answers. Ugh, the NY thing, so frustrating! Cuomo's previous attempt at an "emergency flavor ban" was struck down by the courts so he snuck it through in the budget instead. :-x I believe if we are...

Interesting, zioDman, I haven't tried it myself. And, I agree with other comments here, it's a loophole but the powers that be are already moving to close it--starting on the state level.

Synthetic nicotine circumvents FDA oversight. Scammy fad or the future of vaping? The Synthetic Nicotine Loophole Has anyone here tried it? Curious to know your experience if you have!

I agree, the cut off at 20 mg in the UK seems arbitrary or perhaps uninformed. A lot of people tend to think that the nic level on the bottle is the only factor but, in fact, the ohms level of the coil, the power of the e-cig device, etc, all have as much and maybe even more of an effect on the...

The vaping industry is facing an extinction level event in the form of the Premarket Tobacco Product Application required by the FDA which is due on September 9th of this year. Will Kai's Virgin Vapor survive? Will Kai's Virgin Vapor Survive the FDA?

You make an excellent point. We all heard that ventilators were going to be in short supply so it is definitely feasible that people may not have wanted to admit to being smokers in case it reduced their chances of getting one. It has also been amusing watching some people's heads explode on...

Does nicotine actually protect against coronavirus? A shocking study out of France causes a run on nicotine patches and gum, prompting the government to clamp down on sales. Is Nicotine Protective Against Coronavirus?

Dr. Sally Satel, medical doctor, published author, Yale lecturer and guest on C-SPAN and Fox News used our article as a reference in a paper published in National Affairs Journal. Can we get a "Yay!"? Celebration: Our Blog Referenced by M.D. in National Affairs Journal!

Does vaping make you more likely to get coronavirus induced pneumonia? Can vaping PG kill pathogens? Was the vaping illness really an early outbreak of coronavirus that went undiagnosed? We delve into the rumors to separate fact from fiction when it comes to vaping vs. the coronavirus. Vaping...
