Regarding a ban and stockpiling

We used to keep out analogs in the freezer so the nic can handle it. I could take the cola that I wasted money on and try it.

Batteries would last much longer in hybernation when only charged less than 50%, - I can't remember exact %, but IIRC, it's between 20-40%.

Easiest way to do so is to use up your battery till it's not vaping anymore, and just charge 20-40% of charge time to achieve that.

There's no need to stockpile. Even if it is banned, you will always be able to get supplies from other countries. Yes, it maybe be a little inconvenient having to wait a couple of extra days and having so spend more on shipping, but there's really no need to stockpile. The only people that a ban would really effect would be suppliers. I buy all kinds of stuff that's illegal/banned in the US, and only once have had customs seize anything. They just remove the product and let you know that it's illegal. You aren't legally responsible for mail sent to you, just mail that you send to others.

I agree. Suppliers in the past 1 week has definitely seen major increase in sales.

Although it would usually mean that extra purchases would be more worthwhile due to the higher shipping. But it still doesn't mean stockpiling. It just means making the shipping money work more for you.

Even if you can get supplies from other countries, in times of high demand, prices are likely to increase accordingly. And for those who didn't plan ahead, they may find themselves paying quite a premium when they need certain items most.
