VAPING NEWS: MICHIGAN [Preliminary Injunction Rules Against Flavor Ban]
“A court ruling Thursday has cast into further doubt Michigan’s 2019 emergency rules against flavored vaping products. A three-judge panel of the Michigan Court of Appeals upheld a Court of Claims preliminary injunction against Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s September public emergency that banned flavored vaping products — products that Whitmer and the state’s health department argued lured young people into unhealthy, addictive habits. The appeals court’s unanimous decision means the state’s emergency order remains unenforceable, for now, as litigation over its validity proceeds. Whether the state will press ahead in the courts to enforce the ban is unclear.”

From Phil
Phil. Just wanted to thank you for your service and steady voice through the last decade or so. I watched the Nic salts discussion last night and followed along with interest. I’ve ridden the Salt Nic insidious wave for a year or two and now find myself gravitating back to freebase 12 mg. Finding the Unsalted line has been a lovely bonus. As has the Zenith tank. On my way out to pick up the Pro. Thanks again to you and Dimitri. I’ve met you guys at a couple of events and you’ve always been very gracious and cool. BTW, you were there years ago when I bought my first Squape and Dicodes combo at the late great Vapero store in Quebec. You gave it the thumbs up and all still in service years later. Thanks for the 3rd time, Phil. Hope your health and happiness running high! Regards, Phil
VAPING NEWS: CALIFORNIA [Vape Tax Hike]
“Lawmakers are debating a proposal from the governor that would dramatically increase existing taxes on electronic cigarettes, with the goal of taxing the products so much that adult Californians can no longer afford this product. Paradoxically, this is happening at the same time they are trying to reduce marijuana taxes because the current rates are driving sales into the black market. Tax increases on e-cigarettes also can have a negative impact on people trying to quit smoking, according to a paper released in December by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER). In “E-Cigarettes and Adult Smoking: Evidence from Minnesota,” researchers studied the first state to impose a tax on e-cigarettes (it extended the definition of “tobacco products” to include e-cigarettes in 2010) and found “consistent and robust evidence that the e-cig tax … increased adult smoking relative to what it would have been in the absence of this tax.””

VAPING NEWS: NEW YORK [Flavor Ban]
“New York’s ban on flavored e-cigarettes went into effect today, and the state also ended the sale of all tobacco products in pharmacies. The Empire State was set to be the first state to ban flavored e-cigarettes last fall, but a state appeals court temporarily blocked it after the vaping industry sued to block the ban. WENY reports New York also became the second state to prohibit the sale of tobacco products, including e-cigs, in all pharmacies on Monday. Any pharmacy caught selling tobacco products will face a fine of up to $100 per item.”

From Gary
Hey Phil, Gary from Western Australia Here.
Just want to tell you and Dimitris are doing a fantastic job in converting smokers to vaping, offering them the right sort of devices for them to start.
I have been vaping since the end of 2009 and you were the second vaping you tuber I found on YouTube after Scott (igeta69).
I think back in 2010 things were simple with limited choice but yet complex with all the fiddling around you had to do to get a fair vape.
I think now days also can be simple with the advancements but yet confusing with all the new technology, but a lot easier to get a excellent vaping experience.
I still remember when you use to do taste testing with a 510 atomizer (boge) one I think.
The journey has been a real pleasing experience for me just from 2009 to 2020.
Keep up the great work, both of you. And I will catch you later, thanks.

Here’s the new one! The FaceLift or FL version! A few improvements to a really good atomizer with some quirks you need to know about.
I also go through my initial setup for TC as I’ve been getting a lot of questions about that lately for some reason. Hope you find it helpful!
