If e-cigs are banned, what do you plan to do? - e-cigarette-forum.com • The place for electronic cigarette reviews, news and chat

timonette · 11-19-2008, 05:01 PM

If, (pray it's NOT), we're no longer able to have our e-cigs & smoke jiuce - will any of you go back to analog cigs? OR do you think someone will find a way to keep all us on this forum updated on ways to secretly get our atomizers, batteries & smoke juice to keep our newest addiction fed?
If I can no longer vap, will most likely go back to analog so I won't be a bi*** & my kids won't need to beg me to go back to analogs.

A strong FDA push has already begun. Suppliers are aware of the issues, the public may not be ... I won't go in to details, but what used to be *classified* as a gray area ... isn't so gray anymore ....

Only time will tell where the issues lead ...

Grenage · 11-19-2008, 05:05 PM

Go into the details!

I hope by then with all the information we share we can be self efficient and be able to make our own e-cigs and e-liquid. Our own little underground operation - LOL...

I don't think I would go back to real cigarettes. I feel so much better on e-cigs.
I can't see them (in the UK) banning the hardware, but the liquid is another matter. We will end up making our own and be in the same class as cannabis farms and meth labs

If it is at all possible (it is in the US), find alternatives to cigarettes besides e-smoking. Do not put all your quit-smoking eggs in this one basket. I've long detailed my own use of multiple nicotine sources -- snus, dissolvable tablets, nasal snuff, pipe -- and like the variety such a choice gives me.

I would terribly, terribly miss e-smoking. It's my mainstay these days. Being driven back to inhaling tobacco cigarettes is a last resort that I hope doesn't come to pass.

I hear Trog has a plan to bail out General Motors by converting assembly plants to production of Screwdrivers, so maybe this will all work out.

I prefer to be an honest guy ... Lying to both customs, the FDA, and the ATF, will get you no where, and will result in a swifter ban of this stuff.

YES PEOPLE... (this one may even surprise TropicalBob)

MY LIQUID JUICE SHIPMENTS ARE MARKED AS JUICE. They Even contain contents including labeled "Nicotine." I may have more steps and processes to go through, but at least it gets done right and honest from the get go, and I don't have to worry about the ATF knocking on my door or getting the goods seized

A little more food for thought ... I have dealt with both the FDA and ATF on such issues

stephenrowley · 11-19-2008, 05:34 PM

I have also noticed that goods are taking longer to clear in customs, time of year, everyone is sending stuff about now to avoid the x mas delays.
