A Special Guest & An Advocacy and FDA Update
A PBusardo Video – A Special Guest Discusses Advocacy and FDA Regulation Information
In this video, I’m joined by my pal and someone I have great respect for in the world of advocacy and government relations, Dimitris Agrafiotis.
We talk a little bit about the Toronto event and then get into the world of advocacy and regulations.
We discuss SEVIA USA and try to give you as much information about the deeming FDA regulations as possible including ways you can help.
This is a long video, but a very important one at this time as we face our biggest challenge yet… together.
Please watch and share it as much as possible.

The Post-Review Follow-up:
- 4/19/16 – Some additional information on the unit that went bad. 1) it was a market version not prototype, 2) I opened it up to look for liquid… completely dry, 3) when it was opened, I looked for the jumper, it did not have one and 4) it was not opened prior to failure but went for a couple days before the failure started.
- 4/29/16 – The Adonis will be available for purchase mid-May.
- 4/29/16 – According to Arctic Dolphin is it firmware upgradeable, however… “It can be upgraded by a special upgrading cable with chip inside from distributor not the end users.”
- 4/29/16 – It appears that you can now select the color:
As a matter of fact, the color is selective. People who want to select the color need to inform our distributors in advance. Here, we would like to offer the place for one of distributors in USA as below: 16760 Stagg Street Unit 212 Van Nuys CA 91406, tel: 818-216-7882. People can contact that distributor for color selection. We will pack 10pcs in a small box and 40pcs in a carton. 10pcs will be a unit. Our distributors will select color based on different unit. It means that distributors cannot select color one by one should select the color unit by unit. In future, we will customize the color, for example: customize the color for the stabilized wood and customize the color for the resin so the price and lead time will be different.
People are not restricted to purchase the quantity. Not only one on-line. Adonis, the frame material is aerospace aluminum, we only produce 3000pcs. Now all have been pre-ordered by our distributors. But we are making other two new models for 26650 battery and dual 18650 batteries stabilized wood box mod! 26650 battery mod will be 100 watt and dual 18650 batteries will be 210 watt. Now the samples are ready. Mass production will be shipped soon!
Here are some photos for you:
- 4/29/16 – Some additional information from them on their decision to include a setting for platinum:
Now people do not use platinum universally but our brand arctic dolphin is positioned in high-end market of vaping world so we want to try.
Platinum is good grade and the safest material. It will be loved and popular by more and more people in future.
Moreover, we will design a new tank with platinum coil in future too.”
One more additional point for Platinum is that it is food grade and can be edible. That is the reason why we want to try for our mods.
- 5/3/16 – Regarding the small spark seen in the video:
When atomizer is connected to the 510 interface, probably there will be 0-20 milliseconds detection for the chip and the current will be up to 1.5A at most. There will be no input current once completing the detection. Our actual standby current is less than 30μA. As shown in the video, the screwdriver touched the positive and negative at the same time so the chip immediately detect whether a new atomizer connected or not and there will be the small spark.

CHINA VISIT 2, VIDEO 3 – VISIT TO A BATTERY FACTORY
A PBusardo Video – A Visit To The Yongdeli Battery Factory
In this video we travel back to China to see how batteries are made as we tour the Shenzhen Yongdeli New Energy battery factory.
Here’s something REALLY interesting that I found out AFTER the video was completed.
Although the general manufacturing process you will see is accurate, the required staff to ensure quality and to properly test the cells was not on hand. Due to this, Tony could not ensure the quality of the cells. So ALL of the batteries you see being manufactured in this video were destroyed and recycled.
Impressive if you ask me.
I sincerely appreciate the effort put forth by Tony and Brian allowing me to show you the manufacturing process.
Whether or not these cells have the specs as advertised, I’ll leave that one to Battery Mooch! 🙂
I hope you enjoy it!

The Post Video Follow-Up:
- 7/21/15 – Response from the Good Ohm Boys… the folks who brought in the pole dancers:
Hey all. I wanted to address this as I am one of the co-owners of the Good Ohm Boys. First and foremost, if we offended any vaper, we apologize for that sincerely. We as a company, value this industry more than anything. We participate in advocacy here in NJ and we fight for our rights to vape in NJ every day. For those that know us, we are passionate about vaping and what it has done for all of us.
It was our first expo and wanted to have fun and spread the word about our e-liquids. Every person that helped us out that weekend are friends of ours and our two shops here in NJ. They all came to support us. They were proud to provide everyone that attended a good time including the dancers. The dancers were not strippers and that’s not what they do for a living. They dance for exercise and as a hobby. The derogatory comments towards them are quite outrageous. They are people too with feelings, emotions and pride. The outcry of hate on them has been quite atrocious.
We as a company will take the heat on this and if anything gain awareness to others that the industry should take a different direction to marketing. We weren’t doing anything different than what may have occurred at other expos or conventions to market companies’ brands. The squabbling or hate amongst us as vapers needs to stop. Let’s direct our efforts to more pressing issues at hand like advocacy on a national and state level for our rights to vape. If we exerted this much effort on talking about this incident, then why not direct all of it to our unified cause.

If anyone has any questions for us, please feel free to contact me. I won’t hide behind anonymity or under a rock. Let’s have a civil discussion about this. - 7/22/15 – Radio interview with Senator Joe Vitale on the subject:
