What I wanna know is why the FDA thinks something like this is a "tobacco product" that's subject to their PMTA requirements:

Because nicotine is a "drug", and that is "drug paraphernalia" :cry:

My Pinch has no nic is sight, it's drug free but even people like me will suffer from the new regs. I managed to get from 3 packs of cigs a day for 30 years to zero nic with the help of ecigs. Does the FDA care? NOPE
What I achieved will be deprived from millions of others in future. All in the interest of more profits

Quite.

i'm in the same boat - i use no nicotine anymore. At work i am basically a mobile air freshener and germicide. Nobody there object to me vaping - because they all knew how much i smoked.

But i intend to take no notice of their unworkable decrees anyway because i am essentially a disobedient SOB and the stipulations are unfair.

unless it's just flavored VG, in which case, I think perhaps, it's a fancy "Soap Dispenser".
:D
I accept that you can breath moisturizing soap onto my hands.

But can you cough up some exfoliating? That is the question.

i cannot see how they could crack down on possession and use, when cigarettes are freely available for sale. That would be breathtaking hypocrisy. So you might have a point!

breathtaking hypocrisy...

It isn't already ?

The elephant in the room has always been that to conflate nicotine with tobacco is a fallacy and the two are not even similar. So we have a situation where it's largely accepted by the medical community that burning and inhaling tobacco is dangerous to health.

We also have evidence spanning 30 years from Sweden for example, that using a smokeless tobacco like Snus confers no extra risk on the users compared to not using it at all. By which i mean 'at a population level'.
Users of snus have a similar level of cancer to non-smokers.

vaping has showed similar promise and apart from extreme lunatics like myself that actually rather like trying to vape red-hot wire, the RCP has said vaping is at least 95% safer than smoking.

They are lying or the FDA is.

I wonder if there will be a place for you to show off the work at this 2+ years place. I sure would love to see anything you do, no matter what its function.

I've always had a fondness for Etsy. Might be fun to do a thing there with whatever quirky tinkerings I dream up . . . . down a hypothetical road and years away . . . but that's where I'd look for me if I'd lost myself. o_O

"Soap Dispenser"! . .. . love it, Train! (did you come up with that yourself?) . . . "soap dispensers out of stock, please contact with inquiries"

Still pondering over a good euphemism for atomizers...

Well, it's a heater for that lube, 'cause you know, putting cold lube in someone's nether regions is just uncouth!

Been trying to digest this deeming stupidity and I think you guys are much better off if they ban it altogether rather than regulate it. Nobody stopped drinking because of the prohibition. In Egypt it is banned so we resort to smugglers and unless you have a direct relation with one of those you'll end up paying more than double the list price and sometimes triple the list price. Just go on facebook and search for ecig groups and pages. Take a look at the prices and bear in mind the USD exchange rate is 1=11 on the black market. At the end of the day you can get almost anything that is sold on a website but of course vendors stock up the regular RTAs and RDAs and all the evics and kangers.
