So I'm sitting here trying to work out the implications of what's going on in Brussells. Personally, well I have enough gear and enough knowledge to keep me vaping in the Style I have become accustomed for as long as I wish. But, I'm also running a business. On the face of it a shop can't exist under the current rules, profiled cartos hidden from view. That's even if I could obtain a supply, I don't think I could live with myself peddling that rubbish. So perhaps I, like ecigs will be forced to do, should go back in time. What they are proposing is basically a first generation device, and we all know What happened to them once people found out you could improve them with a little tinkering. So should I evolve into a hobby shop, providing support for those who want to make the "New" devices actually work. I can't see how they can stop the home improver. Would I be able to sell box mod kits, torches, psu chips etc etc......can't see why not. What about juices, they already sell zero nic blends in Australia for people to beef up when they get home.
Bearing in mind there will probably be 3 times as many experienced users in 2016, Will there be enough knowledge already out there for new users to be supported into the fold?
The big issue for me is not my business, my vaping, it's all those people they are trying to fence Us off from. Those people who could have their lives dramatically changed, extended, improved. Those people who will never have the opertunity to escape from the evils of burnt tobacco. I literally weep for them as I type this.

Expect the FDA to announce something very similar, any moment now, as this will have come from them!

Well its saying that there is a limit to the voltage versus resistance to achieve a good vape. I am saying the relationship is better described as power (Watts) versus wick performance.
The resistance/volts combo I prefer would put me into the top right hand corner - once my battery started to fade a bit.

It's by no means the best outcome, but it gives us time, which is our ally.

Are you sure you are not taking on more than you can handle? It's just the questions so far make me worry for your safety.

It's quite fiddily but gets easier with practice, If you are anywhere near Chelmsford bring it into the shop And I will take a look, I can probably fix it on the spot.

That's very wide, mostly I use .5 or .8 but that's the lowest resistance I have tried. Thinking about it, 6 wraps of 1 mm wire, I don't think I have anything I could find enough room To fit that into, apart from my kettle.

Peeps. May I suggest that you e-mail your vendors with the details, they then can make contact & decide either to sign up or not. The stronger we can make this organisation, the more `clout` they will have in the future when needed. Contact details to be included in your mail. www.worldvaping.orgThank you. Or how about contacting the founding members, who are apparently signed up to run it or at least up to the point a board can be voted upon. So far the only "founding member" I have heard from, was unaware of their status in the organisation.
it might also add some credibility if there was an address shown somewhere and perhaps the name of the current director.

For big tobacco I can easily understand why they are currently interested in the cig alike End of the market. It is after all the gateway through which almost all of us pass, some linger And a small number have been sneaking through a gap in the fence to better things. But overall the big money is still at the cig alike toll gate. Those of us that have already discovered the great view from the higher ground, look down And think it's because big tobacco simply don't get it, their accounts departments would beg to differ.

Would help if it had a key. Or it could mean oranges on one axis and kittens on the other. ![](http://s11.postimg.cc/84z6kia4z/8a85dd_e77e8e4ce3f638dfacdf5861663c7836.jpg) These charts only really work for basic devices, such as cartomisers. maximum settings are determined by how fast the wick feeds juice to the coil. The vape gets warmer but the coil remains cooled by the evaporating juice which, assuming its capable of feeding the juice fast enough, will keep the coil operating temperature down to that at which your juice vaporises regardless of watts used.

It seems that the qualification for being a founding member was simply saying that it sounded interesting.

Perhaps I'm just being overly cautious, The problem is that other self appointed guardians, such as some major charities, Have become personal vehicles for those in the driving seat.

Sounds great, on the face of it, but I;m going to reserve judgement just for the moment. Got nothing to lose by giving them the reigns mate, makes sense to have a single loud voice They can only but try. I agree that all angles will help - but just so long as people don't feel like someone else is going to do all the work - our power is in the mass individual stories rather than a single front man.
