Time for a new contest! This week we're giving away
150mL of Lion Head Premium e-Liquid! The winner will be able to choose whether they'd like ten 15mL bottles or five 30mL bottles. Flavors and nicotine strengths will be decided by the winner as well.
To be entered into the contest this week, you have to do some homework. As many of you know, the
FDA released their proposed rule for deeming regulations of e-cigarettes last week. All you have to do is
get informed! In the links below, I've provided some information, but there is more out there. Right now, we're all trying to make sense of the document and come up with a plan, but one thing is certain:
we need to stand together. If you haven't done so yet,
please join CASAA. They are at the forefront in combating unfair legislation, and it would be wise to listen to their suggestions about how to make your voice heard. I've also posted a link to their summary of the regulations.
This is a big deal. Vaping as we know it is in danger of being regulated out of existence, into the pockets of Big Tobacco.
So to be entered, please join CASAA if you haven't already....it's free, don't worry! After you've done some research on the topic, come back here and
post your opinions. Although not part of the contest, I'd also like everyone to spread the word, because some vapers may not be aware of the implications of this regulation. Some aren't even aware that CASAA exists, and that needs to change, even if only used as a resource to keep up-to-date with developments in vaping legislation.
Because this is so important, and because I want to reach as many people as possible,
this will be a 2-week-long contest, ending on Friday, May 9. The winner will be selected at random.

Those links should get you started, but once you get fired up over this, it may be hard to walk away from the computer.
Thanks everyone, and
GOOD LUCK!!
