Popular Brands?

[Vocalek]

The FDA just published a new study of e-cigarettes: http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/fo...igarette-s-cartridges-trehy-et-al-2011-a.html

Did they select popular brands for their testing? I had never heard of CIXI before and when I looked them up I realized that this was the company that they sent a warning letter to for marketing cartridges containing rimonibant (weight loss drug, not approved in the US) and ...... (erectile dysfunction drug).

Only the Chinese would think that consumers would flock to buy carts with "bonus" drugs. Gee, why not put a lot of booze into the carts? Then I can get drunk without having to drink. And if I have a headache, I can just vape an Excedrin cart.

I did notice that all 4 companies they selected were ones that had received some type of warning letter from FDA or were plaintiffs in the law suit against the FDA. Smoking Everywhere (SE) and njoy were the brands of two companies that sued the FDA. SE dropped out of the law suit because they had no money left to pay their attorneys and njoy went on to win the case.

Of course. When you want to make something look bad use the worst examples. I know it doesn't look good for us vapers, but hopefully people can be educated, by those of us who do vape, and see what's going on. I spread the word as much as I can. Remember this is coming from the FDA, the same agency who allows dangerous drugs on the market and calls "drinking water" thats contaminated with high levels of chlorine, flouride and other chemicals "Safe".

Worse yet, they declared that Chantix is safe. What's the latest body count?

Johnson Creek's liquid is all I use.

They are perhaps the most popular... as in "heard of", as in "household name" .... only because they are always in the courts, in the news, on the radio...

But most certainly they are not the most popular as in well liked, adored, admired, loved, sought after, obsessed over, ....
(perhaps JC being an exception.)

I am actually glad to see Johnson Creek included. Love their taste or hate it they do have high standards for processing from what I have heard. I am aware of earlier problems so talking about the present.

 

[Vocalek]

Of the four brands in that report, JC was the only one that (it seemed to me) might have a large following. NJOY might have a large customer base due to being sold in retail stores, but I don't think it holds a large percentage of the market among the participants on ECF. I did use NJOY in the past but have found products that work better for me.

I started with an NJoy over two years ago but ditched it within two weeks.

But I just bought some Johnson Creek Tennessee Cured a week ago.

I have owned Smoking Everywhere starter kits and recently ordered from Johnson Creek.
