eLiquid Bans and such.

Why would they be against it??

Amazingly, one poster on here told me he believed it was like a communist type organization and thus would not join. Another poster stated CASAA doesn't tell the truth - another amazingly ignorant comment. And one poster said he didn't believe vaping was that important and that he could stop whenever he decided to, so no need to join CASAA. (the rest of us are just losers) These are the ones I remember.

They can ban batteries specifically made for ecig use (ego).

Not if someone spins up some 510 threaded flashlight heads and markets them as changeable head flashlight batteries.

It's the attys that would pose the re-purposing problem.
I suggest everyone buys at least one top that has some kind of rebuildable coil. I recall a post where someone rebuilt an eGo-C atty, I've tried and can't figure out how they managed to get it apart, so I would go with something more like a Vivi Nova or Protank.

Smoking never was nuthing but a drag!

I'm working with CASAA on an idea for doing that very thing.
When CASAA has finished putting the materials together, the ball will start rolling.

Well I did go into the local vapor shop. the Vapor Spot, spoke with the manager, and told him about CASAA and he said all of our employees know about it, are in it; and are on ECF so.....
gotta speak with him next time about putting some flyers out so more of the customers become aware.
We gotta do....

Even the attys could double up as torch heads

Being a Libertarian (and knowing the political leanings of the board and that the directors are completely unflexible on the issues of transparency and not lowering CASAA to the level of the ANTZ tactics - even when it would benefit CASAA), I find those two assessments absolutely hilarious. Couldn't be farther from the truth. Of course, if people would actually attend the member meetings (like the one tonight) they would know the truth.

My reasoning is they can't ban zero nic ejuices, so I can still get all my favs and I have nic frozen so I can add my own if need be LOL That was the easiest for me and I don't have to have juices stock piled because I am going thru my stash and I have a bunch already out of date, ugh! bnrk

 

[kristin]

My reasoning is they can't ban zero nic ejuices,

Don't be so certain of that. In Massachusetts, they are lumping 0-nic liquids in with nicotine liquids for a 45% tax and in Pico Rivera, CA, they are trying to ban all e-cigarette sales, regardless of nicotine content.

On May 28, 2013, the Pico Rivera City Council adopted an ordinance that placed a 45-day moratorium temporarily prohibiting the issuance of zoning permits to "electronic cigarette retailers, drug paraphernalia retailers and headshops within the city limits." The ordinance itself claims that this action is needed because illegal drugs can be used in some vapor products.

CASAA has learned that the Pico Rivera City Council's staff is planning to request an additional ten month moratorium on the issuance of such permits, with the ultimate goal being to BAN the sales of smoke-free electronic cigarettes within the city of Pico Rivera.

it was either maddox or david thorne who had a thing about banning forks because they made Rosie O'Donnell fat, and this reminded me of that and got some lols.
Seriously though. Forks cause obesity, and they should be stopped.

Also, did you guys know about Dihydrogen monoxide and how terrifyingly dangerous it is? It causes or contributes to immeasurable numbers of deaths per year, and not only is it an industrial lubricant and solvent, but it's also present in almost every food you eat; Facts About Dihydrogen Monoxide
Educate yourself!

The tired old dihydrogen monoxide joke would be still interesting and relevant if people would at least learn the correct name. It's oxidane.

Yes, the meeting reminder was emailed to members on Thursday. If you are signed up through our site, that puts you on our email list. But you have to make sure your email isn't marking our emails as spam!

(I forgot to put a reminder in the CASAA forum and was just about to do that. Not that many people follow our forum though, lol)

I'm a member.. I'll check my spam folder . I just signed up for the webinar alert. Thanks kristin

Awesome! That is great. If each of us can recruit two new members it is a great victory. Encourage them to recruit. We need energy as much as numbers.

Remember, you have the maximum impact on your immediate circle, so recruit there first and with the most energy.

How many members HERE, I wonder?
Does it say that anywhere?

Do you mean CASAA?

 

[gully]

Can people in other countries join CASAA?

Things are stable for the moment in NZ but I can see the US experience bleeding out to here,so for me the fight is in the US now and I would like to help.

Totally get it if the answer is no(CASAA inflating it's numbers by drafting in foriengers)

You are correct, maybe. They could regulate those in a way that make it much more difficult. They could regulate the American e-liquid manufacturing business out of business. Or cripple it, driving 50% of the makers out of business. That would be a great tragedy, since I believe the best e-liquid on earth is made in the US.

Let me ask you, would you have made it this far without ready to vape juices being available relatively cheaply? Don't we want to preserve that opportunity for millions of smokers when they are ready to try Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR)? I believe I owe it to them to defend that opportunity. It bothers me when people say, "Well I can work around a ban or regulation, so who cares?" I am not saying you are taking that position, BTW.

I just see this as a fight worth making. I stand with CASAA. I also have a responsibility to do things outside of CASAA that I think can help. I will not let this industry be harmed if I can prevent it.

Don't let it bother you.
I say that, but when I'm saying that I'm talking worst case complete Prohibition, "I will not be submitting to any bans."
