GET THE HELL OUT!!
Ok, it’s time for some “Rumor Control”.
People are under the impression and upset that I was told to “Get the hell out” of VapeCan at the end of the day by Ian, one of the event organizers. Some are even threatening not to go next year because of it.
- Not true, and if it was said, I certainly didn’t hear it.
- If I need to “get the hell out” tell me to “get the hell out”. I’m not above the rules.
Hope this squashes the rumor.
Carry on everyone and Vape Happy!! 🙂
FREETOVAPE.ORG RESULTS…
Hi Everyone,
There is strength in numbers! You should ALL be so very proud that you have come together, and have all accomplished this together!!
We delivered 40,352 of your personal FDA Comments – to the FDA last Friday afternoon! The whole process was seamless and went off without a hitch.
That’s not all though – there were 121,056 faxes that were sent to your Congressional Representatives (House and Senate); a total of approximately 907,920 pages were delivered to them.
Your submissions increased the FDA Public Comments regarding eCigs, by 350%. Together, this is the largest eCig advocacy effort in history – and it is all because of you!
There are so many to thank!
First and foremost – all of you who took the time out of your busy lives to let the FDA know your concerns, thoughts, and feelings. “Stand Tall”. There is a certain bravery to putting your personal information out there. You took that on, and stood up for yourselves. “Thank You So Very Much!!”
Second – many thanks to everyone who were actively spreading the word to your local shops, and your friends and family. That was an integral and big part of the success! We wish we could shake all of your hands! To all of you that drove all the way to the FDA to help deliver the comments – it was great to meet you and to be a part of that with you!
Third – to all of the wonderful owners of the retail stores and websites. You guys worked so hard to touch everyone you could in spreading the word. There was such enthusiasm with you in working on this, and we really appreciated you asking us how you could help more – and in hearing of your successes. It was refreshing, and energizing! You guys made a HUGE difference! Be So Very Proud!!
To all of the YouTube Personality’s – “WOW… what a great launch!” That was mind blowing! Then add in the continued time and efforts you spent in getting the word out even more. All of this was so very important to the success! You guys are simply the BEST!!
Fourth – those that helped with the funding, which without their help, we sure could not have started FTV, and paid for all of the ongoing costs!
Vapetrik was instrumental in the seed money, and without that we would not have gotten FTV off the ground. “Thank You!!”
Mount Baker Vapor came through with funding to cover a majority of the faxing, and the all of the printing costs. That was Huge! We could not have done this without them! “Thank You to Everyone at Mount Baker Vapor!” You are putting your money where your mouth is, and that is very admirable!
And I can’t forget the Staff at Internet Connection. It is pretty tough to be so very busy working hard everyday, and then have this thrown in the mix at a moments notice. They took on the challenge, got it done, and continued to stay on top of it through it all. “I am so very proud of them!”
As soon as we catch our breath, we will be posting the video we shot at the FDA, so look for that coming your way soon!
Our next step will be determined by decisions the FDA must now make. We know that with this involvement from you, we can all together make a difference for everyone.
Doors can now open to important people that we need to talk with for you – to allow us to present and get the advocacy message, data, and research heard in a more personal and comprehensible method.
There is real data here, regarding real Vapors. We do plan to aggregate the data collected and compile a fact sheet for the FDA as well; and to also allow it to be used and customized for future needed advocacy efforts.
Another idea suggested by a member would be to hold a Two Day Vape Meet – combined with a rally or march in Washington DC. Does this idea pique anyone’s interest? We’re always open to suggestions as we move your mission forward.
The advantage in eCig advocacy, is that it has a foundation of “Common Sense” – and the goal is to make the “Sense”, more “Common”.
Again – MANY THANKS TO EVERYONE for a job WELL DONE!

SOME NEW GEAR FROM INNOKIN
Innokin continues to customize your vape. Their new “sports” series of CLK 1280 mAh voltage selectable batteries kicks off with the soccer edition. I believe there are more to come.
They’ve also released their new mechanical dubbed the iTaste 134 MX-M. Available in silver and black and in two different graphics. It features a user selectable zodiac locking system on the top of the mod. Looking forward to putting this on the mech test rig to see how it stacks up against modern day mechanicals.

THE PROVARI P3 FIRST LOOK!
A PBusardo Video- The ProVari P3 – First Look
In this video we get a first look at the new ProVari P3 from ProVape. We get to see their “Sneak Peak” video, see the device from top to bottom, talk about some of the specification and features, and take a brief look at the menu.
Note, this is NOT a review video, only a first look. So no opinion, thumbs up, or thumbs down, will be given.
BTW – One spec not mentioned in the video is the amp limit of the device, since I know some of you will ask, it’s 5 amps.

MESSAGE FROM FREETOVAPE.ORG
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to take a minute to update everyone on where were are at now, and what is next.
We sent the Printer the first 39,000 submissions last night at 3:00am EST. They are letting us send them any additional we receive, up to 7:00AM EST tomorrow August 8th. They just called, and the first 10,000 are already printed and ready to go.
The FDA documents look GREAT! They did a really good job formatting them in the end! We will put up a copy of one soon, so you all can see what they look like. They are formatted correctly to make sure they are legal, accepted, and recorded.
We are picking them up at the Printer in the morning at approximately 10:00.
We will be dropping them off at the FDA at 2:30pm EST. We just got off of the phone with the FDA to confirm the time, and that we would like a receipt for them. They groaned… about having to stamp all of them in LOL
The address is:
Food and Drug Administration
5630 Fishers Lane Room 1061
Rockville, MD. 20852Some Vaper’s are wanting to/ planning on coming and helping. We plan to all meet at the front of the building around 2:00pm EST… so we can get organized. Anyone else that would like to help, “please come” and meet us there at 2:00. Bring your cameras (grin). We will be video taping this, so we can post it on the website, YouTube, etc.
Please remember to ask your Family and Friends to also submit, in your behalf. Their Comments are also very important! Their Comments will also be sent to their Congressman. They will make a difference!
Look for more information soon. FTV gathered “real world” data from Vapers’, that is going to be valuable and informative in this fight. There are real stats on how many of you support (or don’t) – 18 and over, child safety caps, etc. We will be correlating that data – and creating an abstract report for the FDA, your Congressmen, and advocacy efforts towards the future.

VAPE EVENT LISTINGS
Hey everyone!
Many people have asked me to advertise their vaping events. Although I’ll always advertise the events I’m attending, I simply don’t have the time to post information about all the events that are happening these days, so I’ve created a page just for you!
Click this link to check it out and to advertise your event!
You’ll also find a link for it on the left side bar under Information.
From Boge-Gate to iPV-V2-Gate! :-)
First, someone asked how the device does if shorted while being fired. No issues there:
I even rolled the camera while I did the test in case anything interesting happened. 🙂
Second, it’s important to point out that the recall that has been mentioned out there is NOT from Pioneer4You, but rather a voluntary recall issued by JJ Vapes after a unit failed, smoked, and melted the internal plastic covering the board on them.
Third, Pioneer4You has requested the serial number off my unit. Not sure why they’re asking, but I’ll keep you all posted on what becomes of this. Yay, something else to chew up my time!
Here are some photos of the packaging, and battery compartment showing the serial number (or at least most of it) It’s L0326.
