For a limited time, Liquid Barn sold Nicotine Feedback Kits, the information from which they plan to assess their current nicotine sources, new nicotine sources, and their formulations.
That’s such a cool idea! They want to get feedback from their customers and their community to fine-tune and develop better products.
Mooch has been on a roll lately with Brillipower batteries. I know there are a lot of vape shops that sell these so I wanted to quickly share some of his results.
Flavahub is a company out of Malaysia who makes several lines of e-juice. They reached out to me to see if I would review their Ossem Juice line (pronounced “awesome”), which is a fruit-based line with a koolada kick. If you don’t know what koolada is, it’s kind of like menthol but with less of the menthol taste. It provides more of the sensation of menthol, rather than modifying the flavor much.
You can get Ossem Juice from FlavaHub.com or OssemJuice.com in 50ml bottles for $20.99. All of the e-juices in this line are 30pg/70vg and you can get it nicotine strengths of 0, 3, and 6mg.
I’ve actually reviewed Grape Drank before, but it’s the number one video that I get crap for, mainly for vaping it at only 10 and 20 watts. I published it in January 2016, but it was actually recorded in May 2015 right after I bought my first RDA, the Smok Caterpillar. That’s how I was vaping two years ago and how a lot of people were still vaping. Sub-ohm vaping at 100 watts or higher wasn’t a thing yet. This was a time when people thought 60 watts was high.
Back in June 2017, San Francisco’s board of supervisors passed a ban on flavored tobacco products, and since electronic cigarettes are technically considered tobacco products, this basically translates to a full ban on selling e-juices in San Francisco, which will take effect on April 1st, 2018. San Fransisco residents will still be able to buy e-juice online from stores outside of the city, but no local vape shops will be allowed to sell e-juice. This will most likely put most, if not all, brick and mortar shops in San Francisco out of business.
Just about everyone is familiar with the infamous formaldehyde study. That’s probably the biggest and most well-known study ever done on vaping. It’s brought up at least once a week on popular vaping Facebook groups and online forums, despite it having been debunked many times and in many ways.
I want to start out by saying that this segment has nothing to do with prepping as far as food, water, heat, or sanitation is concerned. I’m not a prepper and if doomsday happened, I’d probably be one of the first people to die. Well, I might live to Season 2 of the Walking Dead, but probably not much longer. Anyway, I’ll only be talking about how to prepare for a disaster as it relates to vaping. As for the other stuff, you’ll need to figure that out on your own.
With Hurricane Harvey finished and Hurricane Irma probably down to a category 1 storm by the time you listen to this, this advice is a little too late for anyone who has suffered through these recent natural disasters, but things like this will happen again and it’s never too soon to prepare for a future disaster.
Last week on Sept. 6th, Mitch Zeller published a blog post on the FDA Voice blog, encouraging tobacco companies, including e-juice manufacturers, to submit documents that contain trade secrets.
This document is called the tobacco product master file (TPMF). This is a voluntary file that would benefit the industry as a whole, or at least that’s the idea behind it.
