Can you rename this thread" IMPORTANT - Action Required Take FDA Flavor Survey"

Until I found out about the survey from a dis related source (not here on ELR) I never even knew that it went live.

I, like many, just skip over thread titles that have “Win This” Win That’ and any thread that has the word “Giveaway…”

There’s only two days left to complete the survey and last I heard it’s still not at the 30k target. If flavours go you can be damn sure that DIY will be next on the agenda, nic is already firmly in the cross hairs.

This survey is not the same thing as the FDA comment period. The comment period ends in June. The survey is going to be submitted as evidence to the FDA as a counter argument against all the “save the children” bullshit. DEAD LINE FOR THIS SURVEY IS MONDAY! Go do it NOW!

It only accepts one survey per IP address so it might not let her. I think you can do it from your phone though.

@Mizzz_Z_Hobbit as it covered. The survey will be analysed, written up and submitted to the FDA as part of the ANPRM for flavours so it’s on a tight schedule. Lets try to get one last big push on it for today and get as many to do it as possible, don’t forget that it’s only one per IP address. Good luck to all our American vaping family.

DJ challenging ALL VENDORS now … :+1:

I find it quite concerning that all vapers unite immediately to bash a vendor if they’re doing something wrong but to fight for your right to keep vaping flavors…???
It just drags on and we just don’t seem to get the support that is required. Are we really such a negative bunch and can’t get anything positive done? :cry:

COME ON PEOPLE, LET’S DO THIS

Thanks to all the people who’s already taken the survey! :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1: :+1:

I’m hopeful and somewhat sure that all of us who could have completed the survey has.

That being said, I would have love to see vendors participate since they touch a much larger part of the community.

Just saying. Think about all the orders we have placed, sites visited…and all the times there have been zero mention about advocacy.

We here on elr represent the smallest part of the market. The mom and pop shops and online vendors do touch the other 90% of vapers.

Not nearly enough people completed it, 30000 was the minimum number that they wanted and I think they just barely made it to that target. We still don’t know what the actual numbers are as duplicates have to be removed and I have an uneasy feeling that more could be disqualified because people were openly broadcasting that they’d done it numerous times from different IP’s.

Too many vendors are more concerned with making as much as they can in the short term rather than seeing the bigger picture, which is why the market is flooded with products with child appealing and shit labelling, and IP theft. Wilful ignorance is no excuse for the numbers being so low on this.

When it comes to advocacy people don’t seem to care, I’ve heard shop owners and big US reviewers often say that consumers don’t want to hear about it. To me that’s bizarre as advocacy is the only thing that will save vaping, and you can be damn sure those same reviewers will do fuck all when it comes time to act. Unfortunately TeamFreeShit is what gets attention in this business.

It’s also interesting to note that no US scientists were willing to do something like this yet they churn junk science daily, using your tax dollars to fund it.
