Its a beginning!

Hell yeah Stu! That is great!

I seen this last night just before I went to bed I had a message from GS.

I think this calls for an email. I will have to try and find some time today and send one out

Good catch Stu.

Heads up find Stu. I looked on some of my legal sites and found the entire ruling by Judge Leon for the legal nerds, like me. http://www.e-cig.org/pdfs/FDA-Lawsuit-Ruling.pdf

I smell VICTORY smells like caramel with a hint of cinnamin.....

Is that a good combo? I have both flavors, but for some reason it doesn't sound very tasty.


Hmm.. Might have to try it tonight.

I grabbed the wrong bottle and topped off my caramel with cinnamin and to my surprise it was very tasty. LOL I guess ya never know till ya try it.... I'm always mixing Terry's eliquid flavors together and trying new concoctions but this one was pure accident.

E-CIGS CONFISCATED BY CUSTOMS 01/15/10
RULING ONLY APPLIES TO THOSE COMPANIES LISTED IN THE LAWSUIT
Hi All!
My husband and I have a small e-cig business in Las Vegas, started a few months ago. We knew about the FDA and possible confiscation at customs, however, thought we would take a shot and start our own side business to supplement income. Ordered about 100 or so kits from China (small quantities: 20-30 at a time), got them with no problem.
We were thrilled when we found out the news about the lawsuit won by Smoking Everywhere and NJoy. we figured we would no longer have to worry about our shipments being stopped due to the win in court. Imagine our surprise when we were called by the shipping company, just last week, letting us know that our order had been stopped by customs, then was taken by the FDA!!! At this time the FDA is holding 50 of our kits hostage and is refusing to release our products.
When my husband spoke with the representative at customs, he was told that the ruling only applied to Smoking Everywhere and NJoy and that 80% of all other e-cig orders coming from China are being confiscated by the FDA.
We are really hoping that the lawsuit will open the doors for other companies, otherwise, going forward, the only choices for e-cigs may be these 2 companies. Please understand, we have done our market research and like both of these products, however, a couple of questions remain...why is it ok for some and not for others, how will this affect every other e-cig company in the US, and how deep do your pockets have to be to fight government bureaucracy??? Yeah, I know the last one is a silly question!
We are hopeful for the future of the e-cig and hope this lawsuit will help other companies out there

I don't believe for one minute that 80% of all other e-cig orders are being confiscated.

The only solution would to contact the Lawyer who was fighting the case for those two companies and see if it is ONLY for those two companies. Maybe, somehow that Lawyer may in fact try to let the Judge know and something could get done by the Judge. I dunno, could be worth the phone call IMHO.

Can see where 80% would sound high, however, just letting everyone know what they said. Husband is online now with our manufacturer and the manufacturer is saying it has become more and more of a problem since last summer. Manufacturer stated that he has lost several small business accounts in the US because of the confiscations. Found a manufacturer online today that even offers a money back guarantee if your order is confiscated, must be a bigger problem than most people are aware of.
Thanks for the suggestion about contacting the attorney. Have an attorney friend who we are going to ask what steps can be taken next. May be as simple as a cease and desist letter based on the recent precedent set.
Vaping has been one of the best things I have done after smoking for 22 years and want the vaping experience to be enjoyed by more people who want to improve their health by quitting smoking.
