HANGING OUT WITH MIKE RUNSHE AKA “HILL GIANT” FROM GIANT VAPES
A PBusardo Video – Meet Mike Runshe AKA “Hill Giant” from Giant Vapes
It’s been a while since I’ve done an interview video and I really enjoyed doing this one.
I’ve known Mike for quite a long time and had the privilege of spending a couple days with him and doing this extensive 2-part, 2-hour long interview.
We talk about all things vaping and some that are not including his history as a vaper, his history with Giant Vapes, his philosophies with his company, his thoughts about vaping past, present, and future, his hobbies, and so much more.
He winds up turning the interview around on me and we talk a bit about the B. E-Liquid line and the story behind “Miami Phil” AKA DJ Miami.
Hang out with me hanging out with him and learn more about one of the biggest on-line companies out there and the man behind it.
Thanks very much Mike for the opportunity! You’re welcome back ANY TIME!

FROM DR. FARSALINOS – Irresponsible marketing by parts of the e-cigarette industry requires immediate measures
I’ve been saying it, Dimitris’ been saying it, other have been saying it, many have been saying it, and now Dr. Farsalino’s is saying it…
One would expect a “clever” industry to take measures to minimize the negative publicity, produce best quality possible products, minimize appeal to youth, strictly follow a “no sales to youth” policy and take every necessary measure to create an image of a responsible and serious industry with consumer responsibility. A characteristic example is the European market where a self-implemented rule for child-resistant packaging was applied almost universally years ago and long before any regulation. However, I was really shocked when I received yesterday some photos of products (liquids) from a very recent vapexpo in the US.
This situation needs to be strongly condemned and criticized, and action needs to be taken to remove such products from the market.
I couldn’t agree more.

NEW FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Dangerous Precedent | Vape Store Owner Pans Federal Vaping Regs
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch:
If regulators are going to ban scientific fact, it’s a very dangerous precedent to set. That’s the message Ottawa vape store owner Ron Couchman has for the politicians and policymakers in charge of deciding Canada’s new federal vaping regulations.
In this outspoken interview, hear Couchman scrutinize key elements of the proposed legislation: flavour restrictions, No Comparisons clause, crackdown on information and access to vaping for harm reduction.
Also, hear what he thinks of the war on vaping in the province of Quebec—only on RegWatch by RegulatorWatch.com.

Shocked Reaction | Healthcare Worker Hears Truth About Federal Vaping Regs
Canadians that believe they have the right to make informed decisions about what they put in their own bodies are beginning to learn the truth about the No Comparisons clause in the new federal vaping regs.
When they do they are shocked.

NEW FROM REGULATOR WATCH – Awkward Allies | Big Tobacco talks Vaping, IQOS & Federal Regs
Here’s the latest from Brent Stafford at Regulator Watch…
There’s a tremendous amount of scientific research substantiating the fact this product presents less risk of harm versus continuing to smoke. Sound familiar?
If you are a vaper it should as it’s the principal argument to support vaping as a harm reduction tool in the battle to stop smoking. The wrinkle is that this assertion is made by a top executive at one of the largest tobacco companies in the world, regarding its new risk reduced tobacco product, the IQOS.
In this episode of RegWatch hear from Peter Luongo, managing director at Rothmans, Benson & Hedges Inc. a subsidiary of Phillip Morris International. Learn why PMI is betting its Heat-not-Burn technology, recently released in Canada, could usher in a smoke-free future.
Does Big Tobacco see common ground with the vaping industry?

The Post Review Follow-up:
- 2/23/17 – Even with a 1 hour and 20 minute video, I managed forgetting to let you know about a feature. There is a “Keylock” available by pressing the up and down button at the same time. This will prevent the device from coming off it’s setting and locks the up and down buttons. You will still be able to fire it.
