Looks like I missed this response by Aspire<\/a> regarding the FDA regulations by a couple of days…<\/p>\n

First, Aspire, being the premiere vaporizer company recognizes the need to regulate the current vaporizer market. \u00a0Regulation will mean that vaping consumers are properly protected when using vaping hardware and e-liquid juices.<\/p>\n

Second, Aspire is here to stay. We are ready to fully comply and Aspire will continue to be an industry leader and innovator. \u00a0To prepare for the imminent \u201cDeeming\u201d\u00a0act legislation which classifies vape products, accessories and Nicotine e-liquid as \u201cTobacco,\u201d\u00a0Aspire has formed several alliances to help legally support our position. \u00a0The fees to become FDA compliant are exorbitant.<\/p>\n

For example, \u00a0an E-liquid line\u00a0with\u00a04 juice flavors has\u00a03 nicotine levels. The minimum cost for just having the e-juice application is 4 (flavors) x 3 Nicotine levels = 12 applications x 330,000usd = $3,960,000 USD! \u00a0And this is the cost just for the\u00a0e-liquid line. Accessories such as\u00a018650 batteries, coil replacements, etc all would have separate $330,000 FDA fee. Note:<\/strong> =$330k was the initial estimate from the FDA. The actual fee has yet to be officially released.\u00a0\u00a0With lawyers fees, testing fees, etc each application is\u00a0estimated cost more around $500k per application.<\/p>\n

Aspire\u2019s alliance includes Sevia USA <\/a>and several other vape brands.<\/p>\n

As a founding member of Sevia USA, Aspire will support federal legislation H.R. 2058 (Cole Bill). Aspire is also confident that the bi-partisan amendment introduced by US representatives Tom Cole (Republican Oklahoma) and Sanford Bishop (Democrat Georgia) will prove a big blow\u00a0to big tobacco\u2019s efforts\u00a0to monopolize the vaping industry.<\/p>\n

While many of the 499 pages in the FDA document are legal jargon and rambling about prior cases, Aspire has summarized the key points of the document and will be posting it on the Aspirecig.com blog.<\/p>\n

Aspire wants to remind our users, fans, partners, and the whole Aspire family that Aspire stays committed to supporting proper amendments to this very unpopular, unfair and Tobacco\u00a0Industry-friendly FDA Deeming act bill.<\/p>\n

While this bill may not directly affect you, it will surely affect as friend, colleague, or loved one. Many tobacco smokers will have a harder time quitting smoking, and will die sooner, if the FDA has its way.<\/p>\n

Several leading UK research centers have recently declared that vaping is 95% safer than traditional smoking. \u201c The UK\u2019s Royal College of Physicians says there is resounding evidence that e-cigarettes are \u201cmuch safer\u201d than smoking and aid quitting.\u201d BBC Article<\/b><\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
