from the editor Dear readers, There were so many different ways I wanted to introduce this issue. Then two days before the magazine went to press, “it” happened. The FDA officially deemed vapor products to be tobacco products. A mad frenzy of reading the 499-page stack of regulations ensued, followed by debate and confusion. In the end, as opposed to helping spread misinformation (as Facebook is filled with), we opted to share what we DO know. More information will be released in the days ahead, and we will be pouring through it slowly and deliberately in an effort to ensure that the only information you get from VAPE Magazine is accurate. Look for much, much more on this topic moving forward.

Now, from the gloomy stuff to the exciting. In the June issue of VAPE Magazine, you’ll find an informative new legal column from attorney J. Jackson Waste on the California legislative situation. He will now be a regular contributor as our industry faces what could be a turbulent year on, well, every front — like in Indiana.
ADMINISTRATIVE
Contributor Norm Bour tackles the Indiana situation head-first to investigate how it is affecting shop owners, manufacturers and the controversy surrounding the new law.
Co-Owner/Vice President Jon Laverde
You will notice a couple of other new features in this edition of VAPE Magazine. Sam McClelland, an owner/builder with Clean Builds LLC is penning a new Builder’s Corner column. Writer John Castle will be reviewing one or two pieces of entry-level vaping equipment each month as well. These two writers will offer something special to different demographics, both of which are of equal importance in the community. Also, a quick introduction to another name you’ll be seeing a lot of: mine, Corey Noles. With the April issue, I have taken the reins as managing editor for VAPE Magazine. I’ve worked as a journalist since 2004 covering everything from crime to healthcare to politics to Major League Baseball. During my time with the St. Louis Business Journal, I did occasionally cover the growing vapor industry before leaving my career to open Inked Up E-Liquid Co. While that keeps me on the run, the opportunity to work for VAPE Magazine excites me. By being in the industry, I know and understand the struggles many of us deal with both as vapers and as business owners. I will also be facing the same regulatory struggles most of you will. Feel free to reach out anytime with questions or advice. I hold my ethical principles as a journalist very near and dear. I hope that will show in the issues to come as we continue to roll out new and exciting things! Hopefully, I’ll have the chance to meet some of you in person on the convention circuit in the near future. Vape on! Corey Noles Managing Editor
