FDA approval questions

[bladeangel87]

I am a nooby to vaping, but I had a few questions/ideas. I have read FDA articles stating that e-cig manufactures need to get approval applications to submit. I believe I also read that approval can be extremely costly, or take years.

However if I am wrong and it can be gained in a timely fashion and is only costly, would it possible to pool funds/accept small donations from everyone to get approval tests etc. done. I would in no way want a system where like 2 people collect all the money, and like 20% goes to what it is intended for and the rest to they're pockets, but if everyone could give 5 or 10$ and get these tests undergoing, and submitted wouldn't it be good?

Anyway I haven't read up on all the information completely, and there is lots on this forum, I'll probably never get to most of it, but this is just an idea.

Thanks,

Brian

It's a nice thought, but the amounts that would be involved are staggering (and not necessary imo, though a system of registration and standard random testing is fine by me).

It would be many thousands of dollars each

You are talking millions, if not billions. That's a lot of $10 collections.
Raand has the best idea.
I live in the USA and I show off my PV every chance I get.

Yep. About the only thing that can screw that up is a regulatory state, which is where we've been headed for a long time. What you say used to be the case, but no longer. There's a demand for honest politicians, but....
