Yeah... So why is MBV stressing everyone over this? I really don't quite follow how they handled this. This makes the entire e-cig industry look bad when you are so unsure of your own product that you take it down after one flawed study is produced.
I agree. However in Dimitris (the vaping Greek) interview with Doctor F it was said that 3 vendors pulled Cinnamon flavors. I have a feeling that once the good folks at MBV have more info they will return Cinnamon flavors soon. Of course this is purely my speculation.

i think it's difficult to find "independent" studies on anything anymore. the results will be skewed toward whoever paid for it. or maybe i am just jaded and cynical.

Actually I agree and it really kinda sucks you can't just read supposedly scientific reports and believe them before finding out who did them, who paid for them, and even then they can be reported in a misleading way. The worse case is the old FDA report from 2009. There are still people out there who think e-juice has anti-freeze in it. All because a very very tiny trace amount was found in 1 pre-filled cartomizer and this is after testing 18 different manufacturers samples and it's not been found ever since. This is still reported in the mainstream media all the time and they always leave out the 2 biggest facts that it wasn't in an amount that could even remotely be considered toxic and it hasn't ever been found since one very isolated incident 4 years ago. (oops forgot to say the substance found was Diethylene Glycol) hope I spelled that right.

Some people get ahold of some info and just can't stop running it up the flag pole....some of those comments are ridiculous.
Makes me as mad when I get asked..."so you quit smoking, now when are you gonna quit that silly stuff? " Grrrrrr:evil:

I hate those conversations, "So when are you going to quit that vaping thing?" "You know, I heard vaping is worse for you than smoking", "If you're gonna keep vaping, you may as well be smoking", "Isn't that dangerous? I read somewhere that vaping is bad for you".
Last time someone said something to me, I got kinda mad and just blurted out rather loudly in a crowd: "Oh what, you read some random Yahoo News article and now you're an expert? What the %$@#!" I gotta admit, it felt kinda good :)

Anyone who is interested in the nitty gritty of how a study works and what it looks like in the "back room" should check out this TED talk by Dr. Ben Goldacre. It's about 13 minutes long, but he's an entertaining and thought-provoking speaker.

Seriously! Mine shows me the same thing! I thought maybe i clicked on something i shouldnt have and couldnt figure it out. Its a seperate bar that says i like it just below the bar that shows others that have liked it! I was worried about being thought of as a creeper, liking stuff BEFORE i ever read it

I emailed support and Josh over at MBV says it is only down temporarily unless they do really find something wrong with it. How long that will take, who knows. Might be a couple days or it might be two months.
