AEMSA membership prevents custom juice mixes

[caged]

I apologize in advance if this is not in the correct forum.

I just received an e-mail from Virgin Vapor that they will cease offering custom mixes as a requirement for AEMSA membership and their anticipation of FDA regulations. This means you can not slowly step your nic levels down, and in the case of Virgin Vapor, if you want to get off nicotine you must go from 6ml to 0ml. That's way too big of a step. I'm having a hard enough time dropping from 3ml to 2ml and there is no way I'd make it from 6ml to 0ml. How, exactly, is AEMSA helping vapers when it seems their goal is to keep people hooked on nicotine?

Another person the same message they got from them too. Yeah I know it is pretty bad. Still if this is the worst regulations get, I'd be happy. Sadly I fear it will get worse. Which sucks since I just discovered how great vaping can be in September.

I will not purchase from an AEMSA Vender

I am not supporting an organization that will dictate what I can and cannot vape.

Standards for Clean Processing and Safe handling is one thing. Controlling actual processing to the point of eliminating choices - nope.

Seems like we are getting a mini taste of the FDA ahead of schedule.

Just the tinyist tip of the massive iceberg we're headed for.

If you buy a bottle of 6 mg and one at 0 mg and mix the two 50/50 you get 3 mg. That's really easy if you have a bottle that you can pour both of their bottles into.

If you buy a syringe you can create any mg of nic with those two bottles you want.

5 mg = 5 parts 6 mg with 1 part 0 mg.
4 mg = 2 parts 6 mg with 1 part 0 mg.
3 mg = 1 part 6 mg with 1 part 0 mg.
2 mg = 1 part 6 mg with 2 parts 0 mg.
1 mg = 1 parts 6 mg with 5 parts 0 mg.

The same ratios hold true for mixing 12 mg and 6 mg, and for 18 mg and 12 mg.

The reason they are doing this is probably to make it easier to test nic content in all their juices. It's certainly not to keep people hooked on nic. If you think this is bad, wait until the FDA gets into the picture. If you're not a CASAA member yet, I suggest you join. It's free unless you want to donate. The more vapers join the more of a voice we have.

CASAA and AEMSA are on different levels and have different goals.

I am a CASAA member.

I want to maintain the right to drive. I don't want to be forced into a Prius.
