    If all of the ingredients can be purchased here in the USA legally, is there someone here in the states that is actually making it? I myself do not want to mess with trying to handling something like liquid nicotine whether I can buy it or not. It only takes one mistake.
    I really don't like calling it juice either, e-liquid works for me......

    Not to mention referring to the vendors as 'suppliers'. Not a good choice of words if we're seeking respectability.

    Would the FDA regulation be against the selling of e-liquid, or the possession? The nicotine is the only controlled substance found in the liquid, therefor anything that's homemade would be fine so long as you're over 18, correct?
    From my understanding, any regulation for both devices and e-liquid will cover importing for the purposes of selling, not for personal use.

    It won't be established if buying hardware to make your own PVs will be ok or not until we see how the regulation is worded.

    But homemade for personal use doesn't seem to be the FDAs concern - only retail.

    JustMeAgain---I concur with your statment 100%. That has always bothered me--They are retailers or like you state, vendors---not Suppliers.

    No, he meant they use vaporizers for "cleaner" smoking of tobacco or medical cannibus.

    What we are using are "low temperature personal vaporizers" that don't really have a lot in common with the vaporizers used for tobacco or ......... because we aren't vaporizing whole tobacco but instead using fog juice that vaporizes at a much lower temperature than tobacco. Vaporizing the raw materials creates smoke without combustion significantly reducing tars and irritants making it safer for long term use.

    Much different device, but there are e-cig-like devices that looks suspiciously like a rebranded 901 and a 401 (though they claim it's re-engineered) on the market that uses their own special formula, but contains no plant material. They are legal for sale for medical ......... patients in California. Many have tried to create a liquid that can work in our devices to no avail, which is good for us in case they try to start using that argument.

    Question

    What proof do you have to back this up? I have heard nothing about any regulation of e-liquid. This is certainly a very strong claim to make without posting your source.

    Well I know that Nicotine itself is a regulated substance. You may want to check with your local laws concerning storage of hazardous materials. I however do not know where that line is drawn. It appears that the levels of Nicotine in our our E-Juice (yes I call it juice, and this thread is not on the topic of proper or proposed vernacular) does not raise the eyebrows of Homeland Security. Now if one was to attempt to order pure Nicotine (>95% pure)from a chemical retailer, expect to be noticed by Government Agencies you probably do not want noticing you.

    Lastly if you are attempting to purify or handle highly pure Nicotine, take haz-mat precautions. Nicotine is highly poisonous, and readily absorbed through the skin. Even if you are just mixing your own flavors from 36mg/ml unflavored, I would still recommend some latex gloves or such. Its better to err on the side of safety.
