contingency plans for an FDA or state ban

[OaklandCA]

I'm wondering what folks are thinking for contingency plans if a ban comes through. How much notice would we have? What borders would be permeable and which ones blocked?

I won't be surprised if California gets moving on some ban action. I believe the attorney general (Jerry Brown who is running for governor) is already grandstanding against e-cigs.

Are many folks stockpiling?

The reason i ask, today i tried analoigs and they seemed really foul. Coming in to this i figured i could always go back to smoking, now i'm worried.

Jerry Brown is still around? Good lord that guy is... well, let's not make it a political discussion.

No matter what happens, I really hope I won't go back to analogs.

I am not going back to cigarettes; I have come too far. Hopefully if a national ban goes through there will be some DIY info out there on the net. Nicotine will still be available, so perhaps we could make our own juices by extracting it from Snus, or similar products.

I'm stockpiling a bit, but if CA bans the sale etc.... I'll be making a trip to hayward to visit mr tastyvapor, and making sure I have all the parts I need to make my own mods, and I'll stock up on all the basic juice stuff. I'll get a coupla liters of 100 MG nic, all teh stuff I'll need to keep my sanity.

I think stocking up is a good idea. I have spent enough money over the last week, but over the next couple months I am hoping to stock up on some extra batteries and juice. I dont anticipate anything happening in the immediate future, but since I have to order everything, (nothing of quality available locally) I figure I am killing two birds with one stone.

I have an herbal vaporizer (for that other banned herb), and though I havnt really looked into it, I am sure if you could find the right temp you could vaporize the liquid with a mod or two. For that matter, you could vape actual tobacco... while probably not as good as the liquid, better than analog cigs.

I have stock piled a bit myself. It looks like Illinois is the next target.

Just started e-cigs, but for the last year or so I have been ordering my analogs from eastern europe, for a variety of reasons, saving money, boycotting/protesting sin taxes etc.. Never once had a problem with customs. As long as your international parcels fall under a certain weight and size they will go right through customs. If anything bad does happen with state laws or federal I believe we can just turn to overseas merchants for all our e-cig supplies. They will not be interested in the parcels containing a few batteries and some juice etc.. they will however hold a suitcase sized parcel with thousands of dollars worth of juice etc. It definitely helps to learn how the whole customs process works. Bottom line the individual e-smokers will be ok, the dealers will have probs

I am going to stock up on atty's,parts and juice. I will make my own but the liquid is what I think the problem will be.

I feel it is my personal obligation as a citizen of North Carolina to apoligize to the e-cig community for my state's corporate interests.

Make no mistake, the tobacco companies are financing every last dime of this witch-hunt, from the FDA to Mr. Brown from California. If I haven't already lost all faith in our "corpo-government," such a fate to the e-cig market will be the straw that breaks the camel's back.

It is a sad state of affairs when things become outlawed based on biased research (I feel the need to ask everyone to research the ......... Stamp Act of 1937; not to condone smoking pot, only for reference and perspective). I am hopeful for some unbiased, scholastic research into the electronic cigarette and it's health concerns in the near future. I just hope they come out in time...

Im stocking up on unflavored nic juice and batts right now, as finances permit.
