Exceptional Battery: XL DAV manualReview by Lynn
Love itReview by maureen
Wonderful!!Review by Josh
Having not bought a new battery in quite some time, I wanted to try something new this time around. I loved the ability to change the voltage of my old OMG, but I had a tendency to turn it up to high and prematurely burn out cartomizers. Such occurrences were quite frustrating. Being that the Dial-A-Volt only goes up to 4.8v, I have not yet encountered this problem.
Unlike my OMG VV, the Dial-A-Volt is easy to carry around. My "large" battery fits comfortably in the front pocket of my jeans. The sleek design is aesthetically pleasing, and looks great with a 3.5ml tank. To top things off, a full charge seems to last me through the day.
The only thing I miss about my OMG VV is the message that would flash across the small marquee screen when I turned it off ;) (Posted on 11/14/13)
Bad Ass BatteryReview by Thomas
Dial-A-Volt (DAV) ReviewReview by Sherrick
When I first started vaping about four years ago, one of the best things I did – and also one of the worst things I did – was purchase a pass-through. Initially, I thought the pass-through was great. I got lots of vapor from my cartomizers and a great deal more flavor than I was getting from regular batteries. Plus, I didn't have to fuss around with batteries that either needed charging regularly or occasionally would die at the worst possible time. I loved my pass-through. I could sit at my desk and get great flavor. I could plug the pass-through into an adapter and run it from the cigarette lighter in my truck. What's not to like?
Well, as it turned out, quite a lot. First of all, with the increased power which produced all of that wonderful vapor and flavor, I found my cartos dying more and more quickly. Secondly, if I wanted to get this vaping experience I enjoyed so much, I either had to remain cabled to my desk or hang out in my truck. I added USB extensions and bought powered USB hubs to run my pass-through from various locations around my home, but I still ended up feeling like a dog on a short leash.
Maybe the worst part about vaping with a pass-through is that, despite its shortcomings, it spoiled me with excellent vapor and flavor. In many instances, regular "stick" batteries just didn't cut it for me any longer. Some batteries did okay for a while, but inevitably, as the charge began to wane, I would find myself getting less vapor with each draw and ultimately the taste would turn to nothingness. At that point, I either had to deal with a far less than satisfying vape, or return to my tethered position at my desk or in my truck and use the pass-through again. This was not an ideal situation and I found myself growing frustrated with the vaping experience as a whole.
After some research on the forums at ECF and other sites, I started looking for alternatives, mostly in the form of larger batteries from vendors I had not used before. I tried 10 or 12 different options from various sellers, but none of those proved to be a true solution. Some of the batteries I tried were bigger, but still didn't really give me the good vapor and flavor I was craving. Other bigger batteries performed quite well, but they required completely different chargers, cartos and tanks than the KR808D-1 setup I had grown very fond of and had invested in rather heavily. Still other batteries worked great and initially worked seamlessly with my existing chargers and accessories, but then began to fail after a short time due to manufacturing issues or design flaws.
One vendor I purchased from had a really good product in terms of vapor production and flavor, and it even worked with my existing cartomizers, tanks, and chargers. Unfortunately, both batteries I purchased from that vendor began to fail within a week. They simply would not hold a charge. I sent these batteries back and the vendor sent me replacements. The replacements worked fine for another week and then they too began to exhibit charging failures. I sent these batteries back as well and again the vendor sent me replacements. Hoping the third time was the charm, I started using the new batteries and took special care to charge them exactly as the vendor suggested. I used only the chargers that came with the batteries, despite assurances that these batteries were completely compatible with other KR808D-1 chargers. I completely depleted the batteries each time and put them on the charger for at least 12 hours, despite the charger lights indicating the process had successfully completed well before then. Once again, in just about a week, one of the two batteries refused to hold a charge. The other battery lasted another couple of days, and then both chargers I had purchased along with these batteries failed. Frustrated, I threw the whole mess in the trash and went back to my less-than-satisfying "stick" batteries and tying myself to my desk with a pass-through.
Figuring I really had no other options after trying mods and big batteries and a variety of other suggestions, I stuck with this setup for the next couple of years. I'd use a pass-through at my desk and in my truck, and stick batteries when I was on the go. Over that time, I noticed the slender, more "cigarette-esque" stick batteries began to perform better and better. Better flavor, more vapor, greater longevity between charges. I still didn't feel I was getting the same quality vaping experience from these batteries that I got from my pass-through, but they were a big improvement over the earlier batteries. Despite these improvements in battery performance, I still longed for a solution which would give me an excellent vape and could be used on the go.
Enter the Dial-A-Volt from Vapor4Life.
I received the Dial-A-Volt (DAV) several weeks ago from Vapor4Life and to say the least I was skeptical. It didn't look significantly different from the other "big battery" options I'd tried in the past and my success rate with those batteries was very low. One noteworthy difference between the DAV and the other big battery options was the voltage adjustment function. I'd never used a Variable Voltage device before, so I was immediately curious as to how that aspect would perform.
In my use of the Dial-A-Volt, there were five main concerns of specific interest to me: Vaping Performance, Hand-Comfort, Long Term Durability, Charging / Battery Life, and Voltage Adjustment.
Vaping Performance: By vaping performance, I mean: How does it vape? Does it produce a good amount of vapor? Does it produce a flavorful vapor? Essentially, does it provide a vaping experience as good as I get with my pass-through?
The answer to that last question is: Yes. It does provide an experience which is always at least equal to – and many times superior to – my pass-through. The Dial-A-Volt produces clouds of vapor and, more importantly to me, it produces truly good clean flavor, especially on a tank or Smileomizer. It does fine on regular cartomizers as well, but it really shines when used with a larger refillable option. I was more than satisfied with both the vapor production and the flavor. The DAV is just excellent in this regard.
Hand-Comfort: Some of the "big battery" options I tried from other vendors made me feel like I was vaping a big metal flashlight. Would the Dial-A-Volt be any better?
Like the other big batteries I've used, the DAV is of significant size and weight, and it doesn't look anything like a cigarette. Despite its size, however, it does not feel unnatural or heavy in my hand. It does feel substantial, but the increased size and weight is balanced in such a way that these attributes are virtually unnoticeable after a couple of uses. Again, although it looks very much like other big battery options I've tried, V4L's Dial-A-Volt has proven superior to the offerings from other vendors and manufacturers.
Long Term Durability: As I've described, my personal success rates with other big batteries was not great. Many of them didn't perform well right out of the box. Others did fine for a few days and then began to fail. So how does the Dial-A-Volt hold up over the long haul?
I've had the Dial-A-Volt now for just under three months, and over those weeks of usage I have not had one single issue with the product. Not once has it refused to charge or failed to fire. Additionally, I have not experienced the loss of power or flavor which typically occurs with smaller batteries as the charge drops off. I charge the DAV, twist on a tank and I'm all set. Throughout the charge, from the first draw to the last, the DAV produces lots of vapor and wonderful flavor, and it produces them both very consistently.
Charging / Battery Life: If I have a complaint about the Dial-A-Volt, it is in the area of Charging and Battery Life. The DAV does many things so very, very well, but it does stumble a bit in the charging / battery life department. I only have one of these units and I very much look forward to using it. Unfortunately, while a single charge does last several hours for me, it regularly takes 10 to 12 hours – and sometimes longer – to recharge it. Because it does perform so well in every other respect, and because it takes so long to charge, I tend to hold off on using the DAV until I see how my day unfolds. If something comes up and I have to be out and about for several hours, I want the DAV ready to go. This is the battery I take with me when I know I'm going to be away from my desk and can only reasonably take one battery along. Unfortunately, because of the lengthy recharging cycle, I don't use it as often as I'd like. I feel like I have to hoard it. I don't want to use it too early in my day as then it will be unavailable to me later when I might really need it. And, like my experiences with the pass-through previously, the Dial-A-Volt does such a good job with vapor production that many of my other batteries seem wimpy and almost lifeless by comparison.
Voltage Adjustment: As the name indicates, the Dial-A-Volt is a variable voltage device. I've seen other implementations of an adjustable voltage function for e-cigs, but most of them seemed very unwieldy. Admittedly, I'd never tried a variable voltage device personally, and the reason I hadn't was because when I looked at how the voltage had to be adjusted, I'd think: Changing the voltage looks like such a pain in the ass, I'd never use it.
Thankfully, Vapor4Life's Dial-A-Volt makes voltage adjustment easy and intuitive. Using a wheel on the bottom of the device – The "Dial" – the voltage can be adjusted in increments from 3.3 volts to 4.8 volts. I liked this idea very much, as I'd found some of my preferred juices taste better at higher voltages, while I find other juices more enjoyable at lower voltage levels. The position of the dial, however, gave me pause. With the dial on the bottom and with it being so easy to turn and adjust, would the dial be constantly spinning in my pocket when I tucked it away between uses? As it turns out, the dial on the bottom of the DAV is just tight enough to stay exactly where I put it without being so tight as to make it difficult to use. The dial's precision design makes voltage adjustment very easy and something I very much enjoy.
So, would I recommend the Dial-A-Volt to a friend? Yes, I certainly would. While I have not yet had the opportunity to try the Vapor Zeus, from my experience thus far I think the Dial-A-Volt comes closer than anything else to capturing the excellent flavor and vapor production of a pass-through. And, it does these things while eliminating the need to be tethered to a desk or outlet. The one complaint I have is in regard to the battery life and charging time. While I do get several hours of use between charges of the Dial-A-Volt, I am still somewhat frustrated by the hours and hours it takes to recharge. My advice? Try one. If you find you like it, bite the bullet and buy a second one. That way you can keep one on hand, charged and ready to go. If you're like me, the Dial-A-Volt will spoil you with its vapor and flavor production, and regular batteries will no longer completely satisfy your vapor craving.

Very pleasedReview by David
I now have two XL DAV and some 6.5 ML tanks to go along with them. They are great! It is nice to be able to increase the voltage when I want extra throat hit, and decrease when I am casually puffing or want to explore the flavors.
The batteries last me all day on their own and it is nice not having to hunt for a charged stick.
The charge time is long but with having two I have no problems.
I am glad I chose this battery, though I will likely one day succumb to the charm of the Zeus :P
I have a black and a blue (more of a royal purple) which both look and feel nice. (Posted on 10/4/13)

A thing of beauty. (XL Dial-A-Volt)Review by M.
It's large but pretty light, as well as easy to handle and carry in my pocket. It can also handle a good drop against concrete, though I try to be careful, anyway (it's happened only once).
The velvety look and touch of the handle are appealing and make for an easy grip. The stainless-steel components are pretty, also.
Unlike other reviewers, I haven't had any problems with the XL's button sinking into the unit and getting stuck. Perhaps that problem was fixed in response to those reviews.
The overall construction is very sturdy. The velvety handle coating is susceptible to being chipped off if nicked hard enough by something rough or sharp, so I avoid dropping it or letting it rattle around with my keys.
Before getting this, I carried around five standard batteries (not V4L batteries, though) to keep up with my constant puffing. This single battery is now all I need. (Compare the $100+ spent between my five previous batteries to the $40-ish I spent on this.)
Go for it. (Posted on 4/18/13)

The only reason this kit doesn't get a full five stars from me, is the length of time required for a full recharge. The form and function of the charger itself is terrific, but the 8-12 hour charge times are slow. Other than this, a superb kit!

Also takes forever to charge, as long on the charge as it is off the charger. I do admit that I don't turn off the battery often, as the 5 clicks to turn it off and on is a bit of a hassle, but still long time charging. I will probably not buy another one, but may if I can't find some other long term solution. (Posted on 2/2/13)

Best Product EVER!!!Review by Sold4Life
Once at this web site, I was overwhelmed of the options so I called the company. The rep was wonderful, I told him my issues of ALL the different E-Cigs I have used and each had battery issues. I needed to know what battery would meet my needs. The Dial-A-Volt (Med 900maH) kit was recommended. The rep stated this battery isn't like the others I previously purchased. It is approximately 1" round, 4 1/4" long before attaching the cartomizer, also this battery is turned on and off by clicking 5 times. I was concerned that the kit only has on battery, I usually have one battery charging when I am using the other. I was told only one battery won't be an issue, that this battery will last all day.
Once receiving it I was instantly SOLD 4Life on this! I didn't have to wait to charge it, my only issue which cartomizer flavor did I want to try and choosing the volt dial. I push a button take a drag and OMG this is the closest I ever received the true easy sensation of smoking a real cigarette. It was so easy taking the drag! I forgot to plug the battery in one night before going to bed, the battery lasted 2 days! I know this isn't normal but this really showed me one battery is perfect. I was always a pack, pack in 1/2 a day smoker.
CON: There really should be some type of instructions. Reminding 5 clicks to turn on and off. Turn off when charging and exactly what the dial a volt does, especially for people like me who never used this type of device/battery.
OVERALL: I will be ordering one more battery for my forgetful times when I forget to charge the battery. It doesn't look or feel like a cigarette but if you are looking for a perfect drag more like a cigarette you will love this!
This is the best E-Cig I have ever purchased! (Posted on 12/29/12)
Great PVReview by AzVitesse
The Dial-A-Volt gives a great vape and lasts me over a day on one charge. (I'm a moderate vaper.) The voltage markings are easy to read -- a big plus. This device is very user friendly: Just add a carto or a tank and vape away.
The only (semi) negative comment I have is that it behaves differently on the charger than other V4L batteries in that the light on the DAV stays on the entire time it's on the charger. This was very confusing. Having some kind of basic instructions/explanation would be helpful with this. I also wish the light were white instead of green, but that's just my taste.
I do recommend the DAV as a next step from the stick batteries. You won't be disappointed.

Great productReview by Debbie
DecentReview by flamechica911
As others have said, it has awesome battery life. I can go several days without charging...with this comes a long charge time. When it gets close to dead it can take 10+ hrs to charge. When I first got it, it took a little over 5.5hrs. I have egos, so this isn't a huge deal for me though.
The reasons why I am only give it 3 stars are:
1) When I first got it, it would not screw onto the charger. I had hubby look at it and he compared with our egos and figured out that the post on it was too high. He pushed it down a little (which I know is a no no on the egos, but this thing wasn't going to charge on any of a chargers any other way) and now it goes on fine.
2) My button sticks quite often and it isn't real easy to get it unstuck either.
3) Due to the design of the threads, you cannot use a standard clearomizer. At least any that I have been able to find. This is a HUGE downfall for someone like me, who HATES polyfill cartos. I had to switch to CE2 tank cartos, which luckily, I ended up liking.
4) Lanyards to fit this things are not going to be easy to find due to it's size. I use an ego lanyard with a pocket, but it doesn't work real well. I have to slide my finger in there to reach the button or guess from the outside. Also, due to the shortness of the pocket, I have had it fall out a few times - which brings me to a positive. I've dropped this thing on cement and it still works. (Posted on 12/23/12)
Quality ProductReview by FlavorJunkie
Anyway, I bought another brand at a local retail store recently. What a waste of money... Yes it was inexpensive but still overpriced considering it jus did'nt Vape well.
After some research online I decided to go for something that I hoped was a Quality Product and I settled on this model. Why?? Well I wanted something that could give me maximum Vaping performance. After all if am to change for good I need ultimate Vaping satisfaction. I love the variable voltage. I don't think I would go any other way after trying this out today. I ordered 3 tanks and 3 juices. I find that the different settings are a must for different juices and also depending on your mood. Having just received this today I am very satisified in initial quality here. Nicely done!!! (Posted on 12/23/12)

The battery is big, but does fit nicely in your hand, and it is not too heavy either. The dial on the bottom turns easily and I love being able to change the settings. The finish on the battery is also very nice not quite sure of what it is made of but it feels very nice to the touch.
And one last thing for all the others who are clumsy like me, it passed the accidental drop test. Nothing broke, adjustment dial still works fine, the manual button works fine also. I was so happy! I dropped an adjustable ego and the button messed up on it, so I am delighted that this one is much more durable. Overall I am very pleased with this battery and would recommend it to others.

A nice VV unitReview by Sandra
I used a clearomizer type (the latest and greatest) I used a 808d and a 510. The hit of this battery is excellent. It will last me almost a day. However, I suggest picking up two batteries if your a heavy vapor-er like me. I did get the magenta (pink) battery and I just love it. I plan on using this at work. In comparing with other units I would say the quality is exceptional. In addition, the guarantee rocks the competitors.
This is easier than using a expensive mod in my opinion. (I have been vaping over 2.5 years.)
In conclusion, I plan on eventually buying a few of these units the next time I go to Missouri. I have a bro and sister in law that needs something easy to use. This is it! :)

Surprised and HappyReview by TxTunesLady
Wow..I got the Magenta, boy was that HOT PINK! But I love the color. Neon Pink! Great Accessory to carrying the pink Ego.
I've heard some talk on the post length, Yes it is shorter, but it doesn't affect/effect the use of adapters/tanks/carto's that I am aware of, as I have had no issues with that at all or with charging it.
Since I received the D.A.V. and started using it after the first charging cycle, I have yet to charge it and I go through 2 tanks a day now. (1.5ml, 2.4% nic) So since Tuesday, Dec. 13th 2012 @ 4 p.m. I have yet to charge this baby.
First thing I did was start charging. Simple enough, just like the ego, but I did notice that the button you use to use the DAV was green this time vs the white on an ego. I like it, but then again anything that lights up..OOOO pretty..So i screw it on the charger and not to tight but just right. Then pop it into the socket and blink blink blink..okay just like the ego. Then blink blink repeatedly till I thought, oh man this isn't going to stop, that could be annoying while I am sleeping, but then it stopped blinking. I look at the charger, yeah its red and flashes of green, yep its charging just like ego, okay, time to patiently wait....4 hrs later, I AM READY TO VAPE!
So I start off at the 3.8 since I know Ego's starts out at 3.7v when fully charged. Then I start it up and Dial away to 4.3 (Oh btw, I had a 3.0 sc in my 1.5ml tank and I usually only use 1.5dc/2.0sc, but knew that a sc (Single Coil) would be better). Dialing it up to a 4.3 I notice the draw got easier. It's like your kitchen sink in the draw, the more you open (the higher in volts) the more it opened up the draw. So I dialed it up some more and finally up to 4.8 well, the draw for me was a lot different, more opened than on the 3.3v. So I liked to have that control. I also notice, then when on a higher setting/volt I don't have to take as long of a draw as I would at a lower voltage.
I also like that when dialing up, you tend to get a stronger nic/TH hit. So I think it is a device that I could use lower nic @ and still have the TH and Vapor I am looking for.
I haven't noticed a great deal in Vapor reduction or increase. With any juices and have tried 4 different Juices on them, both V4L and an unmentionable. So I like that you can dial it up, not draw in as long still get the vapor production I like and a stronger TH.
I haven't noticed much of a burnt flavor except for one of my darker color juices on the highest setting of 4.8v but the darker seems to be a good spot at the 4.3 volt.
With all this being said, I <3 LOVE the D.A.V. and am very happy that I had the chance to review another GREAT V4L Product.

Nice VV unitReview by Sdh
I would recommend this for first time users. Why? Its simple and you can dial/adjust your wattage depending on your vaping style and e-juice flavors. Different flavors can taste better at different voltages, etc.
Oh, and the best thing about the dial a vape is I love pink/magenta, soft touch and its VV. :)
The only thing I would ask of V4L is to make some instructions for first time users. Perhaps a online manual.
I have been vaping for over 2.5 years. (Posted on 12/14/12)
High Quality Inexpensive Variable Volt OptionReview by James
Since the 1300mah model is larger in diameter, the push button is recessed from the body of the battery. My first impression I didn't like this, but after a few days of use it doesn't bother me at all.

Anyways back to the product. I must say I didn't think the "magenta" color was going to be the hottest pink color I've ever seen. Maybe change it to hot pink LOL. The dial to change voltages changes smoothly. I'm new to vapping so I only have the Vapor Titan so to me this one was a bit heavy at first. I think though it won't take long to get use to it. I will for sure be ordering more :) :) :) You turned me into a DAV for life!! (Posted on 12/10/12)
1300maH DAV Battery Excels in long battery life and pwoerful vapingReview by Emb
Since I have been using the Ego 808 threaded batteries I will offer a comparison with the 1300maH DAV battery. The Ego battery I believe is 900maH compared to the 1300maH DAV battery I am testing out. Using the 4.3 V setting on the new DAV battery it really offered a huge improvement in vaper and taste with a very noticeable improvement over the Ego battery.
I standardly use the 6ml tanks with the dual coil 1.5 Ohm cartomizers. The Ego battery would last me about 75% of the day before it would run out. I would expect the 1300maH DAV will last all day.
I didn't notice any difference is the draw; the DAV didn't seem too airy and about the same compared to the Ego battery. I don't like airy batteries and the 1300maH DAV battery seem just right, a fairly tight draw. Cutoff time is about 9 seconds for both the Ego and 1300maH batteries I have using the push button till it blinks method, which is fine for me.
The 1300maH DAV battery is larger than the Ego. The Ego I have measures - about 8.3mm long and 1.3mm thick (wide). The 1300maH DAV is 11mm long and about 1.6mm thick (wide). I am very pleased with the new 1300maH DAV battery and plan on moving over to them now. (Posted on 12/9/12)

Great Vape!Review by Via, the Vocal Vaper
The outside of the battery is covered with the same (or similar) petal-soft plastic that graces the Titan batteries. And, I noticed that the connection at the top of the battery is a new design which is very sleek and easy to use. I am guessing that this new design will prevent those of us who tend to screw our tanks and cartos on so tight that we push the post down...but only time will tell, as I am an old post pusher from way back...
One last note...I ordered the "pink"...or maybe it's called "magenta"...the actual color differs from what I see on my computer, I would call it more a "vibrant hot pink"...(I'm reminded of a polka dot dress I owned in 1968) But the good news is that I won't be apt to lose this in my pocketbook or in the mess I have on my Vape desk! All in all, I give it 5 stars! If you haven't tried variable voltage before, now is the time to do it! And, by the way, the Dial-a-Volt has a one year warranty!! How great is THAT? You NEED one of these!! (Posted on 12/5/12)

What is closing?
Closing is a democratic voting process where the community identifies questions that duplicate existing content, are unreasonable to answer in their current state, or do not belong on the site.
When should I vote to close a question?
Questions should be closed by casting close votes if:
- they are sufficiently similar to existing questions and would be answered identically to them.
- they are unclear, too broad, or otherwise problematic to identifying the problem in a way that can be properly addressed by answerers
- they are sufficiently off-topic, as outlined in the help center.
Note that once you gain the reputation to vote to close, you should no longer flag for moderator attention to have questions closed or migrated. It is your responsibility to vote now. See also: How should my flagging change when I gain the ability to vote to close?
How do I cast a close vote on a question?
The current number of close votes will be shown under the question, in parenthesis, like so:
close (3)
If there are no close votes, it will simply say:
To cast a close vote -- or just to view the current count of close votes and reasons -- click the 'close' link under the question body. A list of close reasons, with descriptions and current counts, will appear.
If you wish to cast a vote at this point, use the radio buttons to specify a reason for closing the question, then click the "Vote to Close" button. If you select "off-topic", you will need to select an additional sub-reason explaining why the question is off-topic.
- It takes 5 close votes to reach the closing threshold.
- You may cast up to 24 close votes per day (50 on Stack Overflow).
- Close votes age away harmlessly after 4 days if the threshold is not reached. Each new close vote resets the timer, and close votes only start expiring if the question has had 100 views.
What happens when a question is closed?
Once a question has been closed, it will no longer accept new answers and the words
[on hold] will be appended to the title. After 5 days, if the question remains closed, the word
[closed] will instead be appended to the title.
Closed questions can be reopened through a similar voting process. The current number of reopen votes will be shown as
current under the question, in parenthesis, like so:
reopen (3)
A tooltip displays the number of votes required to reopen. If there are no reopen votes, it will simply say:
Questions can go through multiple close and reopen cycles, but each individual user may only vote once in each direction in the cycle.
Closed questions can also eventually be merged with another question, migrated to another site in our network, or even deleted. A closed question can be deleted as early as 48 hours after its initial closure.
Alternatives to closing
If you don't have enough reputation to cast close votes, or have used up your close votes for the day, there are alternatives:
- If the question is a duplicate, post a comment with a link to the original.
- If the question has serious problems (e.g. it is spam or offensive), flag it instead.
Reviewing close and reopen votes
This privilege level unlocks two more review queues for close votes and reopen votes to look over questions which may have slipped through the cracks or have been improved and now need reopened.
Any post which currently has an active close vote or a canonical flag reason identical to a close vote will appear in the Close Votes review queue. In the review queue, users can either vote to close the question, edit the question, or vote to leave it open. Editing the question or gathering enough Leave Open votes will automatically kick the question out of the queue and immediately begin aging the close votes (no matter the number of views). If the question receives another close vote after being kicked out, it will re-enter the queue for further review. Questions with vote to close as a duplicate will also list each possible duplicate in a tab at the top for easy reviewing.
Similarly, the reopen queue will contain any post that currently has an active reopen vote. Users can vote to reopen, edit the question (which includes a reopen vote), or leave the question closed. A certain number of Leave Closed votes will again kick the question out of the queue and begin the reopen vote aging process, and of course, another reopen vote will put it back into the queue. As well, questions which get edited during the 5-day on hold period will automatically show up in the reopen queue for review. Questions which have had a revision will add an extra tab at the top so that you can quickly view the revision. Like the close votes queue, questions which were closed as duplicates will still list the duplicates in the tabs above.

doping: a modest proposal for a statute of limitations
This Forum was created to divert traffic from Current Events at the height of the BALCO scandal. It comes and goes as "needed"; it's back to being locked.
doping: a modest proposal for a statute of limitations
After the Marion Jones debacle, I suggest from here on that all medal ceremonies take place 24 hours after the race. If the athlete cannot be disqualified within that 24 hours, then the results stand.
Changing the results 7 years later is ridiculous. Are we going after all of the results from the 70s and 80s?
Of course, doping is wrong and diminishes the accomplishments of the rest of the competitors. But in other sports, if you don't catch someone cheating immediately then the results stand. Track and field should live with the same standard for all aspects.
I don't expect people to be wild about this proposal but it would introduce some sanity into a silly situation.
I'll comment. Dave, I admire you for trying but, imo, this is a problem for which there is no satisfactory solution in sight.
It there ever evolves an instant foolproof pre and post performance test ,then we can put an asterick on existing records or close out the record book prior to some future magic date. Eventually, maybe in several generations, all the old records will be surpassed by "clean" athletes. Problem solved..
"It's now a matter of record that the systematic use of performance enhancing drugs in sport for more than 50 years has punted performance standards clear out of sight, so far out of sight that no human can attain them without chemical assistance...How then have performances continued to improve — even beyond East German standards — since the fall of Communism, if sport has been cleaned up? Either the vast majority of top athletes must not be clean, or they must not be human. Fear not! WADA will protect these superior alien beings from the occasional doped-up earthling!"--Charlie Francis
Re: doping: a modest proposal for a statute of limitations
Dave, I raised exactly this same point in one of the long Marion threads just after her announcement (the thread seems to be gone now). It's natural enough that everyone is primarily concerned about the effect of drugs in the sport, and wants to eliminate that at any cost, even if it means changing results long after the fact of the competition. The point I was making was that there is also a detrimental effect (to say the least!) in turning track and field into a sport where no results are ever really final. The outcome of any event is in doubt for a very long time, perhaps indefinintely -- and as you rightly point out this is a fundamentally different paradigm from that which applies in every other sport.
There was not a single response to this observation, nor did anyone else, in the literally hundreds of posts in the several Marion threads at that time, mention the issue of a downside to changed-after-the-fact results. Rather there was a lot of enthusiastic conversation about how past results might now be changed.
In my view, converting track and field into a sport with no definitive results to any competition is a devastating blow to the sport. It converts what was once an honorable sport, with real competition and real results that we could count on to be as valid tomorrow as they were yesterday, into a silly and meaningless pastime that bears no real relationship to true competitive sports. Since no results are definitive, they're not really meaningful. In the rush to rid the sport of the evil of drugs (and it's obviously a huge problem!) the sport is being gutted of whatever gave it value in the first place.
I think your proposal of a statute of limitations after which we can and must certify the results as final is a necessary step to keep the sport meaningful and viable. If it can be combined, in a timely way, with effective drug testing, all the better.
Can the sport survive performance enhancing drugs? The jury is still out, but it's certainly a serious threat . Can the sport survive transformation into competition without definnitive and thus meaningful results? No.
There is no evidence for this assertion by Charlie Francis. The improvement in standards over the years is just as easily explained by changes in nutrition, training, tracks, shoes, more countries participating and professionalism. Of course drugs are in that mix too, but there is no way of measuring the relative impact of each of the different factors on overall performance improvement and there is certainly no evidence that mankind is anywhere reaching any sort of natural genetic ceiling. Personally I consider the latter contention absurd.
I agree that changing event results and redistributing medals long after the fact is absurd. The striking of records is maybe less so, but only a little.
I almost wonder if this is "a European thing". Maybe that sounds arrogant or xenophobic, but I note that just two days ago the Formula One world championship was officially decided, in a courtroom in London, a month after the final race. The FIA Court of Appeal formally rejected McLaren's appeal of a race stewards ruling in Brazil regarding the fuel temperature used by the Williams and BMW teams, which, if overturned, could have promoted McLaren's #1 driver from seventh to fourth, giving him enough points to take the season championship from Ferrari's #1 driver. It didn't happen, but it sure seems like in this country there'd never have been any consideration of changing the results a month after the fact.
If a referee blows a call, too bad - them's th' breaks. If you catch a cheater (or one confesses), go ahead and fine them, disqualify them from future competitions, or whatever. But trying to "change history" is just foolishness. There is no more reason to believe in the integrety of the revised results than the original.
Edited to fix a spelling error.

I agree. I dislike the revisionism, as if I am expected to pretend that Marion Jones didn't win by 3m, that Ben Johnson didn't put on an awesome display of 100 running in 87 and 88, that Francis Obikwelu won in Munich 02 and didn't finish a metre down on Chambers...etc etc.
Aside from the oddity of asking me to re-invent my memories, the inconsistancy renders the exercise futile - records remain on the books by athletes with documented histories of drug use even while others are cast out.
The final aspect which bugs me is that athletes who confess are effectively punished *more heavily* than those who simply keep quiet. Chambers only lost his medals and money prior to his 2003 test because he admitted to longer use...Johnson admitted it all and his result was further retrospective punishment.
As to why I didn't say this on any of the MJ threads...those were less discissions than online lynchings in which alternative views were very much not welcome.
I agree with you, there s/b a time limit , but I don't know what. It seems we are a minority in a whopping sample response of 10 votes to now. ':)
You have had such a small response I think for 2 reasons:
1. Fans of the sport are tired of dope talk and prefer to focus on the positive side, of which there is much. I often feel that way myself. Of course it is not realistic or proper, but it is human nature.
2. I have not been following this Board for long, but this is off -season for many (who do not follow cross country) and I suspect the no of viewers are down big time from the main track season (March to Sept) .Plus Sat night/Sunday morn in USA is probably quiet time.
Don't hold you breath waiting for the poll to take off. In all the years that we've had the polling function, can't recall any topic--no matter how many comments the subject generated--getting much play in the poll department. We should probably just disable it completely.
The majority of those casting a vote seem to favor competition with no finality.
I agree with the poster above that this is a greater threat to the sport than PEDs.
My thought was also that the sport should have 24 hours to validate the performance and even that is likely to be problematic. Do your testing before the event and refuse entry to athletes testing dirty. I am also ok with random testing during the year.
As far as changing results, heck, let's give Bob Seagren the 72 gold since his poles were taken away. Of course, that 72 basketball farce should be reversed while we are at it.
I assume the goal here is to never have to strip a medalist of a medal. If so then you'd have no testing after the race. That is certainly a possability but don't they test all three medalists? You could not predict that at the beginning. And i assume they could not test all competitors in the time required (what is the turnaround time for tests?). Also, if there was no testing after the event everyone would take stimulants.
not being an expert or even particularly knowledgeable, how long does it take to get test results? 1 hr? 2hrs 48hrs?
You are correct, my goal is to not strip a medalist of a medal. I want finality when I see people on the stand. if you have to test all of the finalists then fine.
gh -
Although polls here do not generate large volume responses, it sb remembered that people who read this site are generally very knowledgeable . I am ignorant when it comes to this sport compared to many others participating here, however I am well informed compared to the general public. I do not think there are many "Curious Georges" reading this site. So a small response reflects a good knowledge base and can be meaningful.
And I wonder if they're really thinking this through. (I voted with what is so far the minority -- those who wish to have definitive results to competitive events.)
It's a lot easier to just hop on the "get the damn cheaters no matter how long it takes" bandwagon than it is to think through the downstream consequences of such a policy.
This reminds me of the recent (and recurring) threads about some ridiculous rules in high school competition. The general tone of those threads is "what a bunch of idiots!" about those who make such rules. This is exactly the attitute of the public towards our sport when they see us changing results retroactively.
"You mean the Sydney Olympics aren't over yet?" Right, they're not -- the way things stand now. Nor is any competition over since drugs were first made illegal (late sixties, early seventies?).
There was recently a world championships contested in Osaka. If we're going to be honest about reporting the results, we have to say that we don't have any world champions from that competition. Instead we have individuals who are TENTATIVELY considered as POSSIBLE world champions, subject to further review to determine the exact drug status of all the competitors who seem to figure in the final result, no matter how long it takes to determine their status. If someone who is now one of the "tentatively possible" world champions confesses to drug use on their death bed decades from now, that will change the results of this year's competition. If they leave a note in their will confessing, and their heirs keep the note secret in order not to tarnish the name of the recently deceased, it could be decades more before some researcher turns up the confession. So by that time we might be changing results going back a hundred years.
And we have to be concerned about the drug status of ALL the athletes in the competition because what if all eight finalists in a sprint race end up later (maybe decades later) found to be using illegal drugs? Then do we award the medal places to semi-finalists who didn't even make the final? What about their drug status?
If you think this through, you'll see it leads to multiple absurdities. If we continue down this road, every rational, clear-thinking person will be forced to the conclusion that the results of track and field competition are not only not definitive, they're meaningless. Therefore we don't really have a sport, only a recreational activity with no meaningful results.
Is that the road the majority wants to go down? Think it through! No definitive results means no meaningful competition. If the public responds with "what a bunch of idiots"-induced apathy, we have only ourselves to blame.
The reason I went with 'infinity' is because MOST cheaters beat the test at the meet. They would like nothing better to know that the window of opportunity slams shut the next day. I want them to worry about consequences down the line. It MIGHT actually dissuade SOME from cheating. If a crime is commited against you, do you really want the perp to go free if he can just wait out the statute of limitations?
I want to dissuade cheating too, and punish those who do cheat. That's a given. I just don't want to destroy the sport in order to accomplish this. I think it's been called "cutting off your nose to spite your face". We need to think clearly about downstream consequences to what may seem like good ideas at first glance -- such as the "infinity" policy.
Your last sentence is an argument against ALL statutes of limitation. Yet such statutes are ubiquitous in the law. Explaining the reasons for this would involve a lot of detailed legal exposition. Suffice to say that if we're going to have a rational, intelligible, enforceable system of laws, such statutes are essential, even if distasteful in some ways.
Same with track and field. We have to find a way to solve the drug problem, that's for sure. But we have to be careful not to destroy the sport in our eagerness to do so.
I guess that where our fundamental disagreement is (though I understand and respect your position). I think that in the end run it will HELP our sport for the cheaters to know they are not off the hook. I like the 'downstream consequences' of an infinity policy. Our sport is clearly in a shambles right now because of cheaters, and I wouldn't want to do anything that would further 'enable' the cheaters.
Yes, we disagree. As I have stated, I am sympathetic with your wish to eliminate drug cheating. But I think that in your monomania on this topic, you're willing to kill the whole sport in pursuit of the objective of curtailing drug cheating.
I have a solution which perfectly satisfies your priorities: Get rid of the sport of track and field altogether. That would eliminate all cheating in the sport absolutely! Though I don't think you see it, your orientation can only lead to this result. Again, no definitive results means no meaningful competition. No meaningful competition and we have no sport.
Re: doping: a modest proposal for a statute of limitations
The 24 hrs seems too short for all the variables related to chemical testing and corroboration--this from a guy who knows nothing about it.
The suspension of awards would --however reasonable the theory may be--leave a big hole in meets.
A statute of limitations--maybe 5 yrs-- for "exhuming" tests does sound to me reasonable. I mean it's not murder, the crime for which there is no sol.
It's a tough questionm and I think it will and must be worked outsometime soon, and you are right to roll this idea out on the floor.
This is where I disagree with you tafnut - the sad truth is that the sports which do the most testing are the ones perceived by society to have the greatest problems. Rather than see positives as evidence that sports (T&F, cycling in particular) are trying to be clean, most people see positives as evidence that the sport is dirty.
We know this to be unfair, but most people do not realise how much more often athletes are tested than footballers, baseballers and so on. Public relations-wise, the testing over the past couple of decades has been a disaster. The MJ story this year was a disaster for the sport, however much satisfaction (much of it very unpleasant) many fans here took from her downfall.
The remedy of ever-harsher penalties and ever-more-intrusive testing is simply more of the same failed policy. I am reminded of the surgeons' cliche that "the operation was a success, but the patient didn't survive".
You see that drug cheating is gradually killing the sport, so you want to eliminate meaningful competition, which immediately kills the sport. I want to preserve competition so that the sport may survive, and tackle the drug cheating problem with every rational weapon at our disposal. I recently tried to contribute to this objective by offering a clear, rational definition of what should and should not be illegal. (The thread was unfortunately axed later due to a spate of ugly name calling between Steve and eldrick, and my posts got lost.) But I got no support in that effort on this board. How can we solve a problem if we refuse to even define rationally what the problem is?
By the way, I support a zero tolerance approach also, as long as we have a rational definition of what it is that we're not tolerating, and a way of enforcing it that doesn't cause more problems than it solves. These are challenging problems and the only effective solutions that I can come up with at this point are rather futuristic. Still, a good definition of what it is that we're trying to control might be a useful start.
As for track and field joining the WWF, your proposals would guarantee that. Just as with the WWF, the "infinity" policy eliminates all meaningful competition.
I'm growing weary of this dialog because common sense has been ruled out. I'm also discouraged because I know you are a big fan of the sport and if fans such as you are ready to trash the sport completely, then I'm afraid it's dead already.
It seems to me that we've got some conflicting terms here. I'm not saying a cheat should get off without penalty. I've got no particular problem with retroactive fines. But rewriting results after the fact just makes the sport look silly.
Pulling in another off-topic example: The N.E. Patriots were caught cheating in their season opener against the Jets. They received a heavy dollar fine and lost a future draft pick, but I haven't heard anyone with any influence suggesting that the results of the game should be overturned and the Pat's record revised to 8-1 (or whatever). Would you have greater respect for the NFL if they did that?
We have a major disconnect there.
I think the infinity policy 'legitimizes' the competition, not 'eliminates' it. If we all (esp. athletes) know that cheaters will continue to be rooted out, then we can proceed with a clear conscience that we doing everything we can to prevent PEDs.
How has common sense been ruled out? I am most certainly NOT ready to trash the sport! I want to protect it from cheaters (losing battle, but that's our lot right now). If we don't show an iron will to ferret out cheaters, WHENEVER they present themselves, they will prevail, and then the sport will INDEED be dead.
Excellent points. Thank you for bringing this clarification to the discussion. The big issue under discussion here is the nullification and revision of past results. Drug cheaters can still be dealt with in various ways such as fines and suspensions.
Yes, yes you sound very righteous. You're just ignoring the FACT that no definitive results means no meaningful competition means no respectable sport. If it weren't for that all-important caveat, I would be agreeing with you. As long as you continue to ignore this all-important point, there is nothing to be gained by further discussion.
The opening poll does not say anything about nullifying results. I am expressly talking about banning cheaters after the fact. The debate about nullifying results and reordering medal placements is an altogether different can of worms that I intentionally did not address. Paradoxically, I could not care less whether they do that or not - we know the truth.
You're wrong. The original question is about having RESULTS STAND, and thus not subject to nullification, after a certain period of time. The question, and the subsequent discussion (if you would bother to read it) has been about the absurdity of nullifying and revising results after-the-fact.
The opening poll says: Should the results stand after 24 hours?
The key word seems to be results.
and I responded to (and has been obvious in all my posts):
My answer is: yes.
Re: doping: a modest proposal for a statute of limitations
Tafnut, since it's obvious that you missed it, here is Dave's original post which he submitted along with the poll. Note that it's all about certifying results so that they are not subject to later nullification or revision. If you failed to notice that, the subsequent posts should have tipped you off. If you've been talking about something else, then you should have started a new thread about whatever subject you think you're talking about. In any case, since you obviously missed the whole point of the thread, your posts should be ignored.
Re: doping: a modest proposal for a statute of limitations
ban him/her.
Feel free. It has always been your perogative.
Re: doping: a modest proposal for a statute of limitations
My "statute of limitations" would affect results. If you catch someone cheating during the course of the year or at the time of the competition, then all of the normal penalties should apply.
From the perspective of the athletes, your view makes sense.
From the perspective of the spectator, they go to a competition and they see someone seemingly win but who knows what will happen 5 years down the road when something will happen that will change the results. I want there to be rigor in testing at the meet and during the year. If someone is found dirty, then disqualify them from then on and if it is in the 24 hours between end of competition and the medal ceremony then disqualify them. After that, then we are done. The result is final and we wait until the next competition.
I 'hate' the fact that the EG women cheated so thoroughly and put up marks that were completely 'false'. I would love to see them stripped of everything. The flip side of that, however, is that we have no idea who else was dirty then. It's a no-win situation. But I still say, punish the known guilty.
I seem to remember as a kid reading about steroid use at the Mexico City games along with payoffs from the shoe companies. This is a very very old problem.

Institutions across the country are recognizing the importance of creating and maintaining collaborative learning communities that cross traditional campus boundaries between the formal classroom and the residential setting. Universities are recognizing that a student's learning is an on-going process, not bounded by the confines of traditional class time and space, and the array of experiences outside of the traditional classroom are a haven for the application of classroom theory, experiential learning, and life skill development.
At NYU, we have developed a number of structural programs to promote student and faculty interaction outside of the classroom. Each program intends to create the opportunity for faculty and students to share meaningful time and engaging with one another over fun and often intellectual topics. Each program is described in detail by clicking on the links below.
Research has consistently shown the benefits of faculty and student interaction:
Faculty interaction outside of the classroom is directly linked to student retention, enhanced learning, and increased social and intellectual development.
After having interaction outside of the classroom with faculty, students have been shown to participate more in class discussions, have more satisfaction with their classes, have a greater appreciation of the arts, spend more time in group study, and become more involved in the life of the campus.
Development of smaller communities of students within the larger school community through shared experiences in programming, discussion, dining, and casual interaction.
Serves as a way to bridge the gap between classroom and living experiences.
Students have the opportunity to make contact with Faculty which can assist them in their own academic or personal development.
Informal faculty/student contact has a positive effect on college student's personal and intellectual development. Students tend to have great success and satisfaction in college if they have had significant interaction with faculty.
Students will eventually need a reference letter or a connection from a faculty member.
Faculty have expertise to share on a variety of areas which can help promote the goals of the Office of Residential Life and Housing Services.
Faculty involvement with students in the residential environment can enhance their work as educators. Many faculty don't have avenues to truly get to know and mentor their students. Their interactions with students outside of the classroom can inform teaching techniques and improve teaching effectiveness.
If you would like to get more information about these programs, please contact the Academic Development Team within Residential Life and Housing Services via email email@example.com or by calling us at 212-998-4600.

Results For 2013
Lecture: Professor Akira Nishimura, Kagoshima University- Pacification of the Dead Spirits, Inspiration for the Living: The Relation of the Violent Structure of Japanese Society to the Commemoration for the War Dead
In Japan, two kinds of the dead have been discussed separately in the past research trends on the commemoration for war dead: the fallen soldiers and the civilian casualties like the atomic bomb dead. In this talk, Professor Akira Nishimura will try to recapitulate such genealogies of the commemorations based on the violent structure of Japanese society and abstract two types of vectors as "pacification and inspiration" which represent the relation of the living and the dead.
