Preparing for the Possible Ban on E-cigs

[Psyclown]

They do still manufacture guns for now. Under the Clinton administrations "assault weapon" ban (which blanketed anything scary looking, even though assault weapons have selectable fire) all import and manufacture of anything scary looking was immediatelyhalted. You could still transfer what was already there, but the limited supply drove prices through the roof. They've jumped way up again since Obama is anti-gun and people are preparing for the worst. Not technically a topic for ecig discussion, just a case where an item was made illegal despite the high demand for it.

The biggest problem isn't even really nanny govt and their pandering to health fascists, it is peoples complacency. For whatever reason, the majority of people these days just don't seem to have the passion or the spine to stand up and do much of anything.

Just read Lurkers thread "Why I love my Screwdriver". It looks as though these would be worth investing in for their ease of maintenance long term. Not only do all reviews suggest that they're great ecigs, but the batteries and some components seem to be common and easily replaceable. Stock up on some cheap 901 atomizers and learn a few DIY liquid recipes, and you should be able to keep one of those going even if they ban regular ecigs with all their fancy proprietary parts.

Plus it helps support small business

Billyboy's shown how it's possible to make much the same thing as a SD with off the shelf componants.

BUt if you really want a ban-beater you need to come up with a way to create an atomizer using OTS parts.

Got a screwdriver on order, Psyclown. Waiting for suppliers to offer liquid in liter bottles.

But count me in on anything. I've been worrying about gub-mint "intervention" on this thing ever since I started with the e-cig. As T-Bob says - "follow the money". It would be utterly out-freaking-rageous if the FDA could ban our devices and leave big tobacco alone. I'm with you 100%.

BTW: where in GA are you?

The only person I've heard of trying to make an atomiser is Supersteph and she's still trying to get it right by the sounds of things. That is a real biggie, batteries and juice can be homemade fairly easily.

I think it was Jarvis who mentioned recently that we might be able to use one of those glass tube things that you heat with a lighter to vapourise cannabis.

I still think the main danger is the banning of juice. This could be done very easily in the UK, make it a Class C drug and it's illegal. It's difficult to see how a ban on the e-cigs themselves is likely, when there are lots of sites like
Vaporisers - Herb Vaporizers Online Shop

Apart from the Gamucci, all this stuff is for vaporised illegal drugs.

Perfect DIY e-juice is the first priority

Why can I never reply to the correct post It must be too much vaping. A post further was meant to be the last in the chain following on from Kate. Who knows where this one will end up, perhaps it's Chrome browser that isn't happy or more likely I'm an idiot

[Kate]

I agree that in the UK banned juice is the likely scenario but I don't know about elsewhere, some countries like Singapore have banned hardware.

The hard thing about the juice is a source of nicotine, everything else is easy peasy. Glycerine, propylene glycol and flavourings are readily available. I don't relish the thought of extracting my own nicotine to be honest, I'd rather buy it ready made in a bottle.

I'm not convinced that the devices would be banned in the UK. The liquid quite possibly but not the devices themselves I don't know what it's like elsewhere but in the UK there is a thriving headshop industry selling all manner of paraphernalia, including vapourisers, that is clearly going to be used to ingest certain illicit substances. There's no law against selling the equipment just the stuff that gets used in it. I don't understand why it would be any different with these things.

Edit:

Sorry Pete didn't read your post properly, exactly the same point you made

I'd be more than happy to join too but not sure what I could offer. All the stuff I've picked up has originated from this forum.

Have you got a link? or the search words you used on the WHO site? I've been trying for "e-cig", "ecig" and "electric cigarette" but getting zero results.
