I realised there are many people posting different brands of cotton and as long as they see that it is organic they start thinking they can be used. Please, do your homework and research. If you do not see any experts using these brands, then do not even start. Organic does not mean it is clear to use.
Do not post it here if you do not have adequate knowledge of it as it may mislead others into thinking it can be used. I am worried someday people might start telling one another that sanitary pads can be used.
I wish some day, moderators in forums would get off their high horses, and come back down to the realm of the mortals.
I believe this is a “free” forum, where an individual is free to post, within the rules of this sub-forum. I do not see anywhere that is written that homework and research, plus adequate knowledge is a pre-requisite to start sharing. I come from a highly regulated industry, where the rules and regulation are accepted and adhered to globally. If only the e-cig industry is just as regulated, then I gladly submit to the idea that homework, research, plus adequate knowledge, with a set of benchmarks that can be applied against, are ideal. I challenge you to come up with a set of benchmarks where “organic” is not “organic” and when you do, I will gladly respond with another counter argument against your statement.
I give a few examples:
I think everyone agrees that Pbusardo’s youtube videos are right up there as amongst the best. He uses oscilloscopes to test varying signal voltages, heat guns to test temperature of coils etc. By your standard then, has anyone questioned if the equipment that he uses are calibrated, or subject to yearly calibration? If he has not, can you then consider that he has performed the necessary research?
There is a thread about liquids obtained from our neighbors. Numerous recommendations are listed on these threads. Has anyone that has posted, shared and commented if the ingredients used to brew these liquid safe? Are these liquids free from Diacetyl, Acetyl Propionyl And Acetoin, for example? Thus, by your high standards, forum members who post in these threads should perform their due diligence, do their homework and research, before they can post their recommendations or share their finds? If not, why then the double standards?
With TC mods being the current trend, we have grimmgreen that says he is unsure about the safety of NI200, while Pbusardo thinks it is fine. In a sub forum thread, TC Mods and coils are discussed. Is there any National Safety department anywhere in the world that says NI200 is a safe medium to be used for vaping? How then can one do their homework and research? Again by your comment, any forum members should not post and share anything regarding TC Mods and coils?
There are “risk” and there are “calculated risk”. At this stage, there is no universal rules and / or regulations, regarding the safety of e-cigs. Any individual can do their necessary homework and research, and from there determine if the products that they are about to use are safe and suits their habits. These are where “risks” and “calculated risks” comes into play.
My $0.02 opinion. I'm out of here.
