Yep, we have heard this kind of talk before. I just hope they will at least try to keep the promises this time. I won't hold my breath but will keep holding on to a sliver of hope for a while.50,388
Other than the most promising news we've seen, uh, promises, promises...
I got this email this morning. What do y'all think?
I think we can repeal the FDA deeming regs and replace with Johnson-Hunter legislation in the next 60 days—Mark Block, Electronic Vaping Coalition of America

Trump Card
FDA Deeming Regs On Chopping Block
With a stroke of the pen President Trump could take vaping out of tobacco and do away with the onerous FDA deeming regulations. Yes, repeal is that easy but replacing the regulations could be much harder—a winning vote is needed in both houses of Congress.
After fighting the Obama era FDA with little to no effect, fortunes may be turning in favor of the U.S. vaping industry as President Trump begins to make-good on his campaign promise to repeal onerous regulations.
Standing ready with new legislation to replace the deeming regs is Sen. Ron Johnson and Rep. Duncan Hunter, backstopped by a dedicated group of political operatives with connections that run directly into the White House.

I noticed it but kinda knew what 'cha meant60,390
and just noticed my typo in the earlier posts.... I just WISH we had an extra 10K signatures since yesterday!

Only one single hit on Tineye and the tool tip describes it as a "Voltage Regulator by 95wombat" Lots of other neat pictures on that page. Not going to live link it, so remove the two spaces to fix.

Literally. But still though.

Hope you are staying clear of the blizzards, been thinking of you. Please stay safe.
My goal, being excited wise is five years. This is the first time I haven't bought something shiny. Tonight I spent a little money we don't have at all to get some of the basics I still need for the long term. The FDA and CA royally suck. When will people get a clue?I guess I don't understand this. I thought we were trying to get out from under being deemed a tobacco product. Isn't this what they are talking about. Do I trust them not to come up with something we are not totally happy with...of course I don't, they are politicians but I was under the impression that Sen. Johnson was actually trying to do the right thing. It must be Rep Hunter you have a problem with.I, well, this is awkward.Let me put it this way: I don't think he gives a rat's .... about vapers but may do it as a matter of "principal," but I'd rather pay the predicted CA tax than see Meals on Wheels go under, not to mention other programs.
Even before this administration we've been on a wild ride in which there is no pull-cord to get off. All I did was finally quit smoking and then everything went to hell. I feel a zillion times better but my "smoke" no longer keeps the blood-sucking mosquitoes away.Literally.
BTW, my fourth vaperversary was on the 14th. First time I've missed it.My goal, being excited wise is five years. This is the first time I haven't bought something shiny.

Glad to see you back! Hope things are looking up. I've noticed the lack of protection from mosquitoes too, living near the river it's a constant bother.60,402, 60,401, 60,402 Some things never change

It's been rough, things were looking up, hoping tonight they still are. I think I'm back for at least a week if not permanently. I've looked in and am grateful to see things carrying on.
I apologize in advance for a lengthy post.
Those photos were flat out cool. Thank you.
I've seen a fair share of those old posts and am in awe of those guys. They made what vaping is today. We are all deeply indebted to them.
Oooooooooooo, been there done that with multiple animals, don't want to do it again. But hey, very fond memories.
Ruben, thank you, thank you, thank you!

Woohoo!, you're posting here again!Hope you are staying clear of the blizzards, been thinking of you. Please stay safe.
Les, I looked at the CA tax thread and it's all a best guess scenario. If there is something I ought to know would you please PM me? If the thread stands as is, you can just say "yep" here. What a ridiculous situation.
David, I'll try to get the photo to you tomorrow or the next day. If I don't, hound me. Please PM me your email address, I don't know any other way to get it to you. After all the other photos here It looks like everybody will be greatly disappointed.
