NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE VIKA BUFFALO 75 – 12/15/16
Here’s a new DNA-75 offering from the folks who brought you one of my favorite tanks, the Vika Fantasy. It’s also available in a DNA-200 version.
We’ll add this one to the ongoing look at DNA-75 devices.
This is a very simple and clean looking device and is available in carbon black, meteor gray, and amber gold.
The fire button out of the box is a little stiff and not enough tactile feedback for my liking & the two built-in, non-removable & hardwired 18650s have me scratching my head a bit.
Here’s some additional information from Vika:

NEW IN THE QUEUE – THE VAPORESSO TAROT NANO – 12/15/16
As I continue to wait for my new test atomizers to come in, I thought I’d put some New In The Queues up for you.
We’ve already seen this one in a video, but here’s some additional information about it. It’s the Tarot Nano from Vaporesso.
You can adjust this one up to 80W, it does variable wattage and temp control, has an internal 2500mAh battery, and has the Omni board in it so control and features are going to be very similar to the Nebula that I recently looked at. You can see that review HERE.
It’s cute, it’s small, it feels pretty solid and it comes in a black, silver, red, and a (Grimm) Green. 🙂
Here’s some more information from Vaporesso:

From Vaping.com – Public health expert destroys CDC, Surgeon General
From Vaping.com:
“If the science matters in tobacco control – which apparently it doesn’t – this should put an end to the Surgeon General, the CDC, and others claiming that youth experimentation with e-cigarettes will lead to a progression to smoking and to a re-normalization of smoking among youth.”

Although we’re still tweaking it, the website is also online now, the shipping rate has been resolved and it’s taking orders on the bottles, tubes, and My Von Erl Pods and starter kits:
We’ve gone through TPD compliance for the UK (currently) and will be ready in the 10ml bottles and tubes soon.
Interested shops and distributors in both the US and UK should use the “CONTACT” button on the top of the B. website.
Distribution in Canada has been picked up by Alero Labs.
China distributors and stores, please contact Boomer Tech.
Please keep in mind that this line was designed for the transitioning smoker and those who still enjoy the smoking experience, but now through their vape. Although it can be enjoyed in many ways it was designed and formulated to work best with tanks, low wattage, and the mouth to lung style of vaping in mind.
Thank you all for your interest & support. It truly means a lot to me. I hope you enjoy the line as much as I do!!
Happy Holidays everyone and Vape Happy!
NEW ON REGULATOR WATCH – Tallying the Score | Part 2
Here’s the latest on Regulator Watch – Tallying the Score | Part 2
Thank you Brent!
Curbing the appeal of vaping to young people is the primary pursuit of Canada’s new vaping regulations. Every section, clause and word of the legislation has been crafted with this goal in mind. But how does this mission impact the products vapers love and the Canadian companies that manufacture them?
Join RegWatch for part 2 of our conversation with Marc Kealey, the Canadian Vaping Association’s powerhouse government lobbyist. Learn how e-juice flavours would be affected, what the new requirements look like for Canadian e-juice manufacturers and how they may set a path to U.S. FDA styled regulation in Canada.

New On Regulator Watch – Tallying the Score | Impact of Canada’s New Vaping Regulations | Part 1
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford on Regulator Watch…
Messy compromise or promise fulfilled? These are just two of the questions Canadian vapers are struggling with following the Liberal government’s release of its new federal vaping regulations.
The legislation known as Bill S-5 is currently winding its way through the Senate and is expected to become law by mid next year. What will be the impact on vapers and the vaping industry in Canada?
In part 1 of our 2-part conversation, hear directly from Marc Kealey, the Canadian Vaping Association’s powerhouse government lobbyist. Learn what the Ministry of Health is saying about the new regulations and why Kealey thinks the vaping industry may have dodged a bullet in Canada—only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

US Surgeon General declares e-cigarettes are a public health concern. But where is the evidence of harm?
Here is an excerpt from a recent article published by Dr. Farsalinos…
By Dr Farsalinos
Today, the US Surgeon General released a report about e-cigarettes and youth (not about e-cigarettes in general). The major conclusion in the report is that e-cigarette among youth and young adults has become a public health concern. Actions like incorporating e-cigarettes into smoke-free policies, increases taxes and price, educational initiatives, preventing access to youth and regulating marketing are suggested (although the reports mentions that “actions can be taken” instead of “actions should be taken”).
Interestingly, the report was released together with a very well-designed website, with sections like “KNOW THE RISKS”, “get the facts” and “take action”. The questions are:
Know which risks?
Get which facts?
Take what actions?
