It's back up!! http://www.e-cigarette-forum.com/forum/legislation-news/479971-action-alert-urge-congress-prevent-fda-banning-e-cigarettes-again-stop-fda-giving-e-cig-industry-big-tobacco.html Pinned to the top of the legislature forum on ECF I doubt he will mind if I copy/paste, it is a global thread Action Alert: Urge US Congress to prevent FDA from banning e-cigarettes again and to stop FDA from giving the e-cig industry to Big Tobacco Situation: The FDA has stated its intent to propose (by the end of October) the deeming regulation to apply Chapter IX of the 2009 Tobacco Control Act (TCA) to all e-cigarettes (e-cigs), and to propose additional regulations for e-cigs. But Chapter 910 of the TCA would ban all e-cigs currently on the market, Chapter 911 would prohibit e-cig companies from truthfully claiming the products are smokefree or are less hazardous than cigarettes, and the rest of Chapter IX and other likely e-cig regulations would give the entire e-cig industry to Big Tobacco (and perhaps several large companies that market Cigalikes). http://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/111/hr1256/text Text of H.R. 1256 (111th): Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (Passed Congress/Enrolled Bill version) - GovTrack.us Please contact your members of Congress: To find/contact your US Representative, go to The United States House of Representatives · House.gov and enter your zip code in Find Your Representative (upper right corner) and hit GO, then click on the name of your Representative (beside his/her photo). http://www.house.gov/ To find/contact your two US Senators, go to U.S. Senate and enter your state in Find Your Senators (upper right corner) and hit GO, then click on the Name or Contact links for your Senators. http://www.senate.gov/ Calls, letters on Congressional websites, faxed letters, and visits to Congress members and/or staff are all recommended. Note that due to the Federal Government shutdown, some Congressional offices and/or contact methods may not be available, so try other offices and/or contact methods. Please inform your members of Congress that: - e-cigs have helped you quit smoking and/or reduce cigarette consumption, - the deeming regulation would ban all e-cigs currently on the market per Section 910, - FDA already unlawfully banned e-cigs in 2009 until federal judges struck it down in 2010, - FDA has made false and misleading fear mongering claims about e-cigs since 2009, - the deeming regulation would give the entire e-cig industry to Big Tobacco (and perhaps a few large e-cig companies) even if the FDA exempts e-cigs from Section 910, - virtually all e-cigs are consumed by smokers and ex-smokers who switched to e-cigs, - the CDC has falsely claimed e-cigs are addicting youth and are gateways to cigarettes, - States (not FDA) should ban e-cig sales to minors and 25 states already have done so, - Section 911 of the TCA would prohibit companies from truthfully saying that e-cigs emit no smoke and are less hazardous alternatives to cigarettes, - additional FDA regulations for e-cigs (e.g. sales/marketing restrictions, nicotine restrictions, flavoring restrictions, e-liquid sales ban) could deny you and other consumers of legal and/or affordable access to e-cig products you now consume. (please note this ECF posting and thread were accidentally deleted last week) POST #2 addresses some of the back ground shenanigans the FDA has played. If you're not familiar with it, I I suggest you read up. POST #3 is an alert of what's coming ... Follow the thread for updates, letter writing techniques, etc... Write your congressmen, senators, representatives, and God himself. I'm going to write one note and send it to everybody, using bcc.

Here's where I read about the collars. http://stevevape.com/innokin-itaste-mvp-2-0-little-box-gets-updated/

I was just reading that in a thread. Apparently, not all of the clearomizers/tanks work with the original collar. If you take off the collar, it should work. You can use a regular ego collar instead, with some of them. Is that what you mean?

ouch! I happily deserved that. I'm glad it worked out. Are they still 45? Maybe after I get the mvp2, ... -
The Drexel study should relax anyone on the fence. Naturally, everything we do should always be in moderation, whether it be chewing bubble gum or drinking coffee. http://acsh.org/2013/08/new-study-finds-no-health-concerns-in-e-cig-vapor/ Also, the New Zealand study that took years to complete? It states the pg in vaporizers relieves respiratory symptoms in the young. Also, Asthma sufferers use the pg or is it VG? In their inhalers. The New Zealand study used 1/3 eCigs with 16mg, 1/3 eCigs with zero mg placebo, against the patch. ( they don't say what mg the patch was, probably a 24 lol) and when combined, the eCigs still beat the Patch in helping smokers forget about lighting up. Just imagine what it would have been like if the eCigs all contained 18mg or some 16 and some 24 ... Yeh, I know, right. Some people say that cats are allergic to pg or something, so I would be careful around pets, just like you are with all your other endeavors like pointsettia plants, onions, chocolate, ... You know the drill.

How's it going guys. Are ya slapping me, hugging me or both? -
Here is a page with tons of pics and videos about the barrycade takedown and march. http://beforeitsnews.com/protests-demonstrations/2013/10/veterans-march-on-memorials-live-all-day-updates-1mvetmarch-videos-photos-2451942.html

You're correct. The more wraps, the higher the resistance. The higher resistance coils work fantastically on the Vv type mods. Just gradually turn the volts up higher until the flavor sings for ya. ( or burns lol). I highly recommend the cartomizer ohm reader for everybody, even for us safety mod users. They are invaluable.

The truckers thang turned into a purely Vets thang, and with the help of Sarah Palin, Ted Cruz, Mike Lee and others, who took down the barricades, the Vets are visiting the memorial finally. This has all been so crazy! The vets can't even get their food stamps. (They used to have commissaries, now they get food stamps?) Speaking of food stamps, the big electronic bank transfer in the sky computer has crashed, and people in 17 states are discovering they can't buy food for their families today. Perhaps tomorrow, next week... Got beans, beer, and white cloud ultra? It's gonna get nastier by the meal.... I hope the soup kitchens can handle the influx of visitors. I hope we the rest of us have enough extra to share with our soup kitchens and even many loved ones we didn't even know were doing food stamp thingies. What a messed up world. Hoard, but share! Say what? Yes, say what! http://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2013/10/72-hour-warning-grocery-stores-across-the-country-turn-away-hungry-shoppers-as-ebt-system-crashes-2792488.html

Haha, no, you're not far off, IMO. It's all about the money. IMO. Show me a real Doc who would argue Dr. Ross, Dr. Farsalinos, Dr. Burnstyne, Dr. Phillips, etc... And I'll show you a doctor on the big Pharma golf course of life.

Hi, as far as I know! as long as your mod has built in safety protection, you should be fine. The mod will fire the atty, to test the ohms/resistance and if there is a short in the atty chances are it won't fire at all. That's what I love about the Provari, it will show an error code. I use both the MadVapes cartomizer ohm reader and the Provari. I didn't have much luck with my Vamo, but that was just me I'm sure. It's always best to use the ohm reader, to make sure there are no hard shorts, but a good mod with safety features should be ok.

For some reason Bill pulled it. Hang on, he might have further news to update with. We're all in the dark about the mysterious pulling of it. Sorry. I'll update as soon as I hear more.

Sleep apnea? I've never heard of a trucker with that disorder, thank goodness your employees are under treatment. They have a long list of regulations they've always hated, and now the new ones are ridiculous. Mom & pop truckers have sold out, fallen out of business, leaving only the large companies, and now they too are struggling. Without trucks, our supplies dry up. Got charmin?

Dang. . Can you google ECF and scroll down to the Legislature forum, and find the thread that way?

This survey will held for 10 days only, due to lack of funds. The survey is being conducted by our hero, Dr. Farsalinos at the Onassis Research Facility. It consists of 22 questions, easy to fill out, should only take 5 minutes of your time. http://ecigarette-research.com/web/index.php/using-joomla/extensions/components/content-component/article-categories/134-flavors Thanks, and spread the word! He hopes for 1000 participates.

Now how did I end up on the news...
Uma replied to Aquatroy's topic in The Vape Lounge - Off Topic Chat
Congrats for being on the news, you did a great job of it too! So did the reporter! That's great they took the health benefits from avg Joe citizen, knowing you, the vendor, can't say anything positive. The Doc in the video expressed his concerns much better than how he was quoted in the article. (Unless it was the way I read it, with a grrr before my 2nd cup of coffee). All in all, thanks for sharing this with the world, it was pretty darn great. -

The big Pharma pill pusher said that?? I'm shocked! LoL. Who owns Change lab solutions? Who funds tobaccoFreeKids and other orgs and groups through donations? Who has a tutorial on their site for TOWNS TO BAN THEIR BIG PHARMA OPPOSITION? Who who who, oh yes, and who does WHO own .... If you're new' to all this corruption, here are a couple of sites to begin your investigative journey. Velvet glove iron fist http://www.velvetgloveironfist.com/index.php?page_id=64 Joe Jackson essay http://www.joejackson.com/pdf/5smokingpdf_jj_smoke_lies.pdf Dr. Michael Seigel blog who has been fighting this nonsense since 2009-ish http://tobaccoanalysis.blogspot.com Anti THR lies blog, dr. Rodu, and others, dr. Carl Phillips , http://antithrlies.com/ They keep abreast of today's headlines, be sure to rss or check every week, day.

I love it! They are peacefully rallying to take our constitution back! The biggest traffic jam in the USA!! Take your young ones out, they will be delighted to hear the truckers pull their horns for them at 10:04 am and pm. Yeh, one of the illegal to do things anymore, but not this weekend!! http://foxnewsinsider.com/2013/10/10/thousands-truckers-head-dc-ride-constitution-rally If the trucks don't run, we don't get our supplies. The stores hold enough supplies for about 3 days. Are you ready for a life of riots, chaos, murder, mayhem? Well, neither are the truckers, but if they can't afford to drive the trucks... This weekend is a heads up. Wake up America!!!! The Vets 1000 mile march is this weekend too. They are taking back their war memorials in every town, especially the major one. Lumberjacks from WA are joining! Everyone is joining!! The gov done forgot that truckers, loggers, and some from all working classes, are Vets too. I bet they'll remember now... Ride for the constitution at ridefortheconstitution.com They have live radio coverage too. (Goes empty here and there for an hour, for breaks, otherwise always on) http://www.spreaker.com/user/thepetesantillishow?utm_source=widget There are FB sites, news clippings, ... I'm just learning all this, due to a mad as hell hermit who has to buy a new EPA certified wood stove with ,05 decimals less smoke output from the one he has already. Crazy regulations.. Getting everyone distracted... To the point we have UNITED to speak up. Peacefully. Haha, the more I learn, the more hyped I get!

PETITION TO STOP BAN (9/30/13) NEW
Uma replied to Uma's topic in Vaping Legislation & Regulation News
Thanks, keep this going! Havamal, Tobacco is grandfathered in. It is used in many religious cultures, including the Native Americans. Not all of the ANTZ reasons for it to be shunned were true. Here's an interesting read on one of the issues with tobacco... http://reason.com/blog/2013/08/22/tax-hungry-state-officials-battle-innova -
PLEASE SIGN THIS PETITION TO STOP THE FDA FROM BANNING ECIGS http://www.change.org/petitions/fda-and-lawmakers-prevent-the-fda-from-regulating-or-banning-the-sale-and-use-of-electronic-cigarettes-accessories-and-associated-liquids?share_id=KPYnLfgcnT&utm_campaign=share_button_action_box&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=share_petition "The FDA has repeatedly stated its intent to propose a deeming regulation to apply Chapter IX of the FSPTCA to e-cigarettes. But Sections 905 and 910 would ban all e-cigarettes, and other provisions of Chapter IX would also decimate the e-cigarette industry, protect cigarette markets and otherwise threaten public health. The FDA should NOT propose or approve any regulation that would deny cigarette smokers legal or affordable access to less hazardous smokefree alternatives. ~ Bill Godshall
