    FDA FDA deeming regulation proposals

    I agree... it seems rather than focus on nicotine they chose to worry about "FDA APPROVED" devices which IMO can never be enforced...Talk about barking up the wrong tree... There are so many ways vape hardware can be used and sold. They must know this so it's kind of just going through the...

    FDA FDA deeming regulation proposals

    I think the glaring issue is the "FDA Approved" nonsense. I hope they understand that by having to approve vape hardware it will be a nightmare for all of us including them. I understand on the liquid side people should know what they are inhaling but hopefully they will change their position on...

    Proposed FDA Rules

    I think this is the most important area of concern. There a thousands of vendors selling ecigs.. what is the cost and time to get things "approved" will be the question. It's a foolish thing to begin with because they essentially all work the same. The potential problem is enormous and it could...

    E-Cigarettes Face First Regulations Fast-Selling Devices Would Need FDA Approval, Be Banned From Minors; Flavored Ones to Be Allowed

    Not as bad as I thought they might be.. Lot's to sort out, but would it not be up to the manufacture of the hardware to apply for FDA approval? I can just imagine 5000 different Chinese companies applying for there version of an ego battery. I don't think the FDA will be able to keep up with all...

    LA City Council makes moves against PV's

    You beat me to it... yes they are now officially a "Tobacco Product" subject to the licensing and taxing as such. "New L.A. city law classifies electronic smoking devices with tobacco products, limiting sale locations and requiring licenses to sell the products."

    AEMSA Lawyer talks about possible FDA Regulations.

    This video is a Godsend for me personally... I have been waiting for some idea of these regs before getting into the biz. Now I feel more comfortable.. 4 months for people to respond.. then a year before regs go into effect. But the thing that I got loud and clear is it will be a benefit to be...

    Young; dumb, and reckless

    In another thread I mentioned picking up women who are smoking by offering them an e-cig instead. Step 1 Identify smoking target. Step 2 Casually walk over and say " hey I used to smoke those things.. have you tried an e-cig" Step 3 Explain the benefits and how to find good gear.. and "Oh how...

    Proposed rule on e-cigs being reviewed by OMB

    I'm sure there will be plenty of lawsuits headed the FDA's way. If I was in the biz, I would contribute in a class action suit in a heartbeat. (Hell maybe as a vaper even) It's the online and B&M's that collectively DO wield a big stick. The attorneys are ready for battle.. So we ain't gonna...
