"In the absence of an FDA e-cigarette ruling challenge, e-cigarettes could now be sold alongside pipe tobacco and cigars in US stores."

Whaa... They have been since the git go!

"According to information published by one e-cigarette retailer, e-cigarettes deliver nicotine ten times faster than other smoking-cessation devices, like patches, can achieve."

Someone needs to horsewhip this vendor!

Yes, in general this is good news for vapers, but gawd, I hate mis-information! Just sets us up for later restrictions due to invalid statements...

Honestly, they're waiting for some little garage mixer to screw up a batch of e-liquid that makes a bunch of people sick or worse, and then ban everything in one shot. Then they'll have the ammunition to do it and no one will be able to challenge them.

They won't need that at all .. this industry is shooting itself in the foot every day there are no standards established .. we have dozens of vendors, dozens of equipment variations and thousands of people mixing and matching this and that .. it's a perfect receipe for the FDA ..

I agree! There was one vendor that I heard added the nicotine to the juice after it was finished. They were using some super high nicotine solution like 300mg! It wouldn't effect or dilute the flavor that way. I stopped ordering from that vendor even though I had no problems with the ejuice I purchased. It just kind of scares me that if someone made a mistake with nicotine juice that potent, you'd be done for. :( I'm not even sure if it's true (so I won't mention the vendor) because I heard the information second hand. However, it spooked me enough that I won't order juice from them again. I hope all the juice vendors are being super careful; we don't want to have the FDA come down on vapors.
