I don't think so, Blue. They are more concerned with what the manufacturers and suppliers claim, not the individual vapers. If we play the word game and encourage the suppliers to do the same, then we should be ok. Manufacturers and suppliers who don't play the word game, will fall by the wayside. The MHRA (and the FDA) are currently in a period of "research" so they can do their level best to cane us in 18 months time - they are looking to find anything that can compromise what we currently have. They want control, and they'll do anything they can to get it - anything we can do to make it more difficult for them has to be a good thing - and if that means using a form of words that might seem contrived, then, so be it. We've got to do what we've got to do.  |

Both the FDA and MHRA have similar clauses in their "what constitutes a medicine" bumf, and that's basically that if <insert name of whatever> is "generally perceived" as being used for (in this case) quitting smoking, then it can be held to be being sold/marketed for that purpose. None of this is about not liking the word "vaping" or anything else like that - it's about trying NOT to get e-cigs banned. Both the FDA and the MHRA are exploring every avenue they can to get e-cigs under their control, and having bazillions of folks on fora claiming "e-cigs helped me quit smoking" gives them all the ammunition they need to open a third line of attack (after overt presentation - ie "quit kits" - and metabolic action) as "generally perceived as NRT". Hence TW going down the road they've just gone with regard to their forums: allaboute-cigarettes.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=1690&page=1#40239 |

I wouldnt advise using any clearos at 5v,they dont work well at all.I hope they bring some out that work well at 5v in the future though.They come in 2.2-2.4ohm lowest resistance up to 3-3.2 ohm highest resistance.3-3.2ohms should be ok at 5v by rites,but they are not a nice vape,burning taste is horrid.These things work perfect at 3.7v. Hmmm... why at 5v?? It seems that clearos work best at around 6 watts (for me, at least), and that's very easily achievable at 3.4 volts - if you want hotter, then go for a lower resistance on an 18650. Simply upping the voltage and then upping the resistance is not the way to go... |
