Hi Phil – I know you have all sorts of fans out here, myself
being one of them. My finding you several years ago by following links
on e-cigarette-forum.com helped both my husband and myself work toward
stopping smoking and switch to vaping. In fact, it was the first time
ever after patches, gum, pills, etc that my husband really wanted to stop
smoking and didn’t feel an urge to smoke in 40 years. So thank you for
that.
You KNOW what I have to say… first, it’s been my pleasure, second CONGRATS ON QUITTING, and third…
Don’t have nor do I want fans. Would much rather you call yourself “friend”!!
CONGRATS JERRY!
Congratulations to Jerry! Another happy “Not A” Contest Wiener of the Cthulhu Hastur MTL RTA MINI!
Love the photo Jerry but who’s the ugly guy behind you? 🙂
CONGRATS FINLAY!!
Congratulations to Finlay! Another happy “Not A” Contest Wiener of the Vaporesso Orca Solo!!
Finlay has already informed me he’s going to gift this to a smoker to help someone else lead a healthier lifestyle! Way to go Finlay!!
VTA and CASAA ANNOUNCE “I AM NOT AN ANECDOTE” CAMPAIGN
VTA & CASAA ANNOUNCE
NATIONAL CAMPAIGN TO SAVE FLAVORS
June 21, 2018: Today, the Vapor Technology Association (VTA) & Consumer Advocates for Smoke-Free Alternatives Association (CASAA) announced a nationwide campaign to submit Declarations to the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA). These will be submitted regarding the Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking regarding the regulation of flavors in tobacco products.
FDA Commissioner Gottlieb recently announced a 30-day extension of time, enabling consumers to submit their Declarations until July 19th, 2018. Self-proclaimed public health groups have already rallied their members to submit hundreds of thousands of comments in support of increased regulation. It’s time for vapers to STEP UP, SPEAK UP, and push back on these baseless assertions.
FDA is seeking information to inform their future regulatory actions regarding flavors – this is OUR FINAL CHANCE to impact FDA’s thinking before it considers proposing flavor-related regulations.
Commissioner Gottlieb has repeatedly told consumers that their “personal stories are important to me.” So, if you are a vaper, it’s time to make your voice heard and share YOUR story of how flavors helped you reduce or quit smoking cigarettes.
The Commissioner has also referred to your stories as “anecdotes” which are regarded as unreliable or hearsay. But, your story is NOT an anecdote! Your story is your life!
VTA & CASAA are organizing the tens of thousands of smokers and former smokers like you to share your side of the story by providing FDA with comments in favor of flavored e-cigarette products for adult consumers.
It is critical that FDA regulators hear YOUR story before the comment period ends. Together, we have developed an easy to use system to submit official Declarations to FDA. This simple, fill-in-the-blank system will allow you to quickly prepare and personalize your submission with just a few clicks and a few keystrokes.
By making a legal Declaration, you are standing up for your right to legally use and purchase flavored vapor products that have helped you and millions of other adult consumers trying to move away from combustible cigarettes.
Follow this link – ACT NOW TO SAVE FLAVORS – to learn more and submit your sworn declaration to FDA today.
Thank you for all you do to defend vapor, and let’s fight this fight together!

NOT LETTING UP. VTA’S BOARD MEETS WITH WHITE HOUSE AND FDA AGAIN.
.jpg)
On June 13, 2018, the VTA Board of Directors was out in full force for meetings in Washington, DC and Maryland. Specifically, VTA’s Board held its second meeting with the White House and its second meeting this year with FDA. Both meetings were productive especially because the VTA Board was able to demonstrate the leadership that it has been taking on the core issues confronting our industry and perplexing regulators – particularly in the red-hot area of marketing.
In addition, VTA again made the case for the creation of a new path for vapor products that would not relegate them to the trash heap of history through the antiquated PMTA process. In addition, the VTA Board again laid out the conundrum that the current set of undefined regulations are creating for the vapor industry.
Specifically, VTA discussed the various innovations in devices and e-liquids that the FDA’s current regulatory scheme is blocking and how the current regulation, which both bars and disincentivizes innovation, is directly undermining FDA’s primary mission of promoting safe products. We made it clear that, absent a dramatic change by FDA to accept newer, safer and innovative products into the U.S. market, it is merely a matter of time before another bad incident occurs.
The best part: Once again, VTA left both meetings with its homework, and already is working on responding to the Administration’s requests. Learn more about these meetings and the follow up at Vape & the FDA 3 on June 26.
SO-CAL FLAVOR MEETING
On June 5, 2018, VTA went on the road to Southern California to lay out its plan to save flavors. VTA Board Members Chris Howard (E-Alternative Solutions), Josh Church (Joyetech), and George Cassels-Smith (E-Liquitech), we’re joined by VTA regulatory counsel Eric Heyer, of Thompson Hine LLP, and put together a half a day presentation on the link between marketing and flavor regulations as well as the strategies we are implementing for responding to the flavor Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.
Mr. Heyer (pictured) laid out the legal and scientific arguments that VTA has been developing as part of the first-ever full scientific review that it is conducting for purposes of responding the ANPRM. He also engaged in a series of questions from the audience regarding the implications of those arguments, strategies to pursue, and what else we might expect from the scientific review.
In addition, Mr. Howard explained how VTA’s efforts to encourage the adoption of VTA’s Marketing Standards was essential to how FDA will continue to evaluate our industry and, in particular, to what extent FDA will feel compelled to restrict flavors.
The meeting, which was attended by many of the largest e-liquid brands in the United States and industry leaders, was incredibly engaging.
FLAVOR ANPRM DELAYED!
On the same day that the flavor ANPRM was published, March 21, VTA’s counsel submitted a request for an extension of time from FDA to respond to the flavor ANPRM. VTA member companies and member associations also made similar requests. Having heard nothing, VTA reminded Commissioner Gottlieb on June 5 via Twitter, that the requests were pending and necessary given that we were reviewing 300+ studies. Thanks for all the retweets and likes! A couple days later, June 7, the FDA granted the request and extended the deadline by an additional 30 days – until July 19, 2018.
That will give us even more time to prepare our response and, more importantly, launch our much-anticipated consumer campaign with CASAA. Stay tuned and get ready for launch!
Thanks for all you do to defend vapor and please let us know if you have any questions.
