ATTENTION ALL CALIFORNIA VAPERS

Yesterday the special session bill that classifies ALL vapor products (devices, batteries, non-nicotine liquids etc) as tobacco products, sailed through the assembly health committee. DESPITE hundreds of people appearing in opposition they sent it through with the tag-line used by the the truly desperate.."It's for the children." This despite the fact that not one parent showed up to argue in favor of the bill. They claim this is so children can be protected from vapor products, but we know this is a lie. It is to open the gate allowing regulation and taxation as a tobacco product. If this bill passes the Senate and Assembly and signed into law it will change the way these products are sold, handled, distributed. As a tobacco product, there will be no more internet sales. All wholesale transactions must take place through a state licensed tobacco wholesaler. All retail sales only through licensed tobacco retailers. This will effectively dismantle the vaping community as we have built it. This is what sitting back on your laurels will get us. You MUST contact you state senator and assembly person as well as the governor and express your adamant opposition to these bills that recklessly mislabel vapor products as tobacco. DO IT NOW!
That's horrible!!!!! There is a Change.org petition right now that is addressing this very issue (see link in my signature). The government should not have the right to do something so all-inclusive and this crap needs to STOP. The more states that pass these idiotic laws the harder it will be to get them reversed. It's sickening.

I have one of those. It leaked a little at first but I still have the original coil in it (a couple of months of intermittent use). I got it because it's tiny and I thought I could use it for testing juice but for a tiny tank it takes forever to empty, lol.

I agree ... It makes me shudder every time I think about it!!! It makes no sense and it keeps gathering momentum!!!

That or my style/liquid does not fit it well. There is such a thing as having a tank or device that just does not match up well with the user.:)
I believe that might be the issue with mine. I vape 80/20 vg/pg and I think the liquid is too thick for it. I really don't care for how you have to fill them, either. I always end up with juice down the middle.

I know it. We are facing the same thing in Washington. We do have one senator who has vowed to fight for us, though. He believes that vaping is saving lives and should NOT be classified as a tobacco product. I can't believe that California bill was so all-inclusive!!! How on earth are they even going to regulate that? "Flashlight parts" can look like anything, lol.

The tank itself is nice. It is the coils I have issues with. So far they have been less than stellar for my style of use.

I signed the petition too... this is WAR! Ignorant people uhg! I don't know what's stick in their heads that a device, batteries and vapor are tobacco products... it doesn't make sense! If they want to do a regulation of this kind, why they just don't say "WE WANT MORE MONEY FROM YOU!" instead of using "For the children" which eventually becomes an adult and do whatever they want... I don't think is fair that we are getting this because of bad parenting... :-x

Definitely! If it's really "for the children" then why are there cotton-candy flavored vodkas and whatnot. Ask some of these mucky-muck to give up their drink of choice "for the children" and see how far THAT flies! It's ridiculous.

Unfortunately, there are no laws or regulations preventing minors from anything. If they want porn, they get it. If they want recreational drugs, they are the dealers in most cases, If they want tobacco, they get it, same for alcohol.

And in today's society the places they are getting the access is through the parents and adult siblings.

We have laws for every sort of bad behavior, from murder all the way down to jaywalking yet society continues to break everyone of them.

The sad thing is, I SELDOM hear this in discussion from those in favor of E cigs. We have failed to dispute the core the opposition uses.

I always either use blunt syringes to fill mine or if they're daily ADV, I will put some into 10ml needle cap bottles I bought for super cheap. It makes the MUCH easier to fill. And although I know I keep defending the tanks I love, filling them can be a pain in the rear.

I use a drinking straw that has been cut in half lengthwise and pour the juice into the "trough" that is inserted into the slot to fill. Works every time.
