CASAA Members and Non Members: Please email this press release to your local newspapers and news stations. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE WASHINGTON, April 28, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Last week, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) released its long-awaited draft regulations for electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and other low-risk alternatives to smoking. The regulations offer little benefit, according to The Consumer Advocates for Smoke-free Alternatives Association (CASAA), the leading advocate for the current and future consumers of low-risk alternatives to smoking. However, CASAA believes that should the FDA finalize the rule in its current form, it will inflict devastating harm on consumers. “This is a classic case of government imposing a ‘solution’ and then looking for a problem,” said CASAA President Julie Woessner, J.D. “The regulations do nothing to address real concerns, and instead are a slow-motion ban of the high quality e-cigarettes that have helped so many smokers quit. The rules would mostly require busy-work filings that impose huge costs with little apparent benefit.” The proposed regulations are based on a faulty understanding of the science, reports CASAA Scientific Director, Dr. Carl V. Phillips. “FDA has cherry-picked the available evidence,” says Phillips, “blindly accepting any assertion that favors aggressive regulation and ignoring the overwhelming evidence about the harms that these regulations would cause.” Although the regulations do not openly ban the refillable devices that are preferred by experienced users, they impose a costly registration and approval process that would effectively eliminate them. Such registrations offer minimal benefits, but ensure that only a few large companies who mass-produce small and disposable products would be able to afford the necessary filings. Additionally, while the regulations do not immediately ban the variety of popular flavors for e-cigarette liquid, they signal an intention to do so in the future. “Our research and others’ shows that higher-quality hardware and appealing flavors are important for smoking cessation,” says Phillips. “Many former smokers report that they were always tempted to go back to smoking while using the smaller devices with imitation tobacco flavoring, but they quit smoking for good when they found better hardware and flavors that no longer reminded them of smoking.” It is estimated that as many as a million American smokers have quit or substantially reduced their smoking thanks to e-cigarettes, and many are already making plans for a black market if these regulations take effect. Those smokers who are using e-cigarettes in a transition stage could easily return to smoking--and future potential switchers may never be able to make the transition--if the restrictions on high-quality products are imposed. Woessner, who quit smoking thanks to e-cigarettes, fears such impacts. “If I had been limited to only those products that would exist under this regulation, I would probably still be smoking.” CASAA is preparing a response that will point out the flaws in the proposed regulations and is organizing its members and hundreds of thousand of other e-cigarette users in an attempt to persuade FDA about the harms this regulation would cause. Should that fail, it plans to fight the regulations in court. CASAA is a 501©(4) nonprofit, public health, membership NGO. It does not represent the interests of industry.

Some of you may already know this but... I had to do some playing around with this since I now have one. This is what I found. Works with Pro 1, 2, 3, & Areo as advertized But also works with: Pro Mini and Mini 2 Evod Tank Davide Mini Maybe others... these are just what I had on hand to try it with.

Saw someone listing them last week and they changed it to SS and Brass only.

Got mine today... 10 days.

Real colored glass (Not painted or dyed) KPT Pro tank replacements and some Kanger Air flow controller bases.

Sony, Efest are good but for a mech, Sony, Panasonic, MNKE

I'm looking for copper caps for the Patriot, You have a link to one Joe. Also waiting to see the group buy come up again on CCI.

I did not see any US vendors with that part. I looked through 3 pages and did not see one. i would have posted them first.

This? http://www.healthcabin.net/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=1305_1309&products_id=8684

You need to check out CCI on Facebook.

Yeah once you become Twisted there is no going back! lol

If I over use mine I feel the mod getting warm, not Hot. Heat will radiate through a mod if it is used a lot. I'm talking a half hour of drip vape, drip vape virtually not stop. I have learned to check my battery and make sure it is not the battery warming things up. If the battery itself is warm or hot, I toss it out no questions asked. Like Josh said, if you hold that button down too long it can cause an issue. You can get a multimeter at WalMart, but if you don't know to use one, get a Ohm checker from any vape web site. Most are around 15-19 bucks.

Looking Good!

Huh, My dogs love to eat fish. LOL

That's too funny! LMAO

LOL My wife and I were just talking about calling a Pina Colada Vape "Getting Caught In The Rain." She did not like my Idea of "If You Have Half A Brain."

This will open your eyes to what the FDA is up to when it comes to vaping. As you watch this thing vaping and see if it don't sound really familiar!

VT don't restrict new member's to a noob section here. Welcome post away and have fun.

My Akuma with a new top Going to do a build on it tonight.

I'm stoked for building now. Just received my custom drilled Patriot Clones from CCI. This is done to both sides and is very airy, should be nice for a weather change over Michigan.

Kinda looks like a redesigned Magneto with a VW or VV control... I like it.

You have my thoughts and prayers as well. I know how helpless it feels as I have been there twice with both of my folks. Just you have people behind you and praying for you and your family.

LMAO You will also need a cauldron, wizard hat, and staff.
