NEW ON REGWATCH – Singed Fingers | Grover Norquist Says Politicians Are Feeling the Burn
Here’s the latest from Regulator Watch.
Thanks Brent! Let’s keep feeding the fire so we can increase the “burn”!! WE can change things!
Death and taxes, the only sureties of life. For millions of smokers, pernicious tobacco taxes and a hastened death is a cruel reality. For vapers that have made the switch to minimize these fates it’s becoming a bitter pill to swallow, as states move to tax vapor products similar to tobacco products—forcing vapers to pay a sin tax for a product they believe saves lives.
Are vapers easy pickings for greedy politicians seeking a quick revenue windfall?
Grover Norquist, president of Americans for Tax Reform says no! He should know as politicians at all levels of government rightly fear the wrath of the ATR. Norquist joined the fight early to try and stop state legislatures from taxing vaping.
He says vapers are self-assured, irritated and angry. And, they are very comfortable saying so. Are vapers winning the fight against pernicious sin taxation? Find out—only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

Johnson Asks Obama Administration to Cease Implementing Regulations that Will Likely be Repealed
From the US Senate Committee on Homeland Security & Government Affairs
You can see the original post HERE.
WASHINGTON — Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, asked three top regulators in the outgoing Obama administration to cease implementing especially burdensome new regulations.
Johnson wrote to Department of Labor Secretary Tom Perez, Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf, and Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Gina McCarthy last week asking that the Obama administration cease implementation of its burdensome regulations. Many, including the Department of Labor’s overtime rule and fiduciary rule, the FDA’s industry-killing regulation of e-cigarettes, and the EPA’s redefinition of the “waters of the United States,” would pile significant costs onto American businesses and families and could have severe unintended consequences. These rules are likely to be undone by the incoming administration and the 115th Congress.
“On November 8, the American people voiced their disapproval of a federal government run by regulation and executive fiat. The incoming administration and the 115th Congress will likely re-examine and unwind burdensome regulations imposed by the Obama administration. One example is the Department of Labor’s ‘overtime’ rule, which institutes a one-size-fits-all approach to employment contracts, restricting flexibility and posing serious negative consequences for the American labor market,” Johnson wrote in one letter to Perez. “Given the substantial likelihood that this burdensome regulation will be undone, I urge the Labor Department to cease implementation of the regulation immediately to spare small businesses and industry the unnecessary and avoidable compliance costs that they currently face.”
In a letter to Califf, Johnson wrote, “In light of the significant economic costs on the e-cigarette industry and the substantial likelihood that the incoming administration and the 115th Congress will unwind this burdensome regulation, I call on the FDA to cease its implementation of the current regulation over e-cigarettes. I hope the FDA will acknowledge the reality of the situation and ensure that small businesses and consumers do not continue to incur avoidable financial costs due to this regulation.”
Johnson’s letter to the Department of Labor on the overtime rule can be found here, and Johnson’s letter on the fiduciary rule can be found here.

THANK YOU Senator Johnson for your continued support of our industry!

THE XTAR VP4 PLUS DRAGON CHARGER
Interesting. I was just talking about this charger to some of the folks at CVE and look what showed up today (in a somewhat crushed box)… Xtar’s new Dragon Charger.
This one has several features vapers may be interested in, such as…
- Ability to test mAh capacity of batteries
- Act as a multi-meter to test battery voltage and internal resistance
- Externally charge your 3S lipo packs for DNA-200 devices
Also:
- Charges USB devices – with power connected or without as long as you have batteries in place
- Refreshes mode to reduce memory effects on Ni-MH batteries
- Alert tone function
- 3-color LED status indicators
Lot’s of features on this one.
I’m going to leave the detailed testing on this one to Mooch, but I’ll be showing it and some of it’s features in a video soon.
HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!
Traveling to so many different places and getting to meet so many wonderful people has it’s advantages and disadvantages.
The advantages are just that… getting to meet, talk to, and know so many of you and spread the message and hope that vaping promises. For this I’ve truly been blessed.
The disadvantages… time away from my wife, family, friends, the chores of daily life, and of course… the review videos. For this, I’m truly sorry.
Tomorrow I travel to NJ to be with my family on Thanksgiving. We’ll get back to the videos upon my return.
In the meantime…
