Legal status of homemade e-juice?

[Jfweeench]

So it has been established that the FDA could regulate e-liquid and the sale of it in the US, but not the hardware such as batteries and atomizers.

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?

Sorry, before moving on to your main point, can we just deal with that rather bold statement: where have you got that idea from? They are deeming it a drug delivery device atm.... nothing has been settled and the court case is ongoing.

Do you know something I don't?

Fw--this is not a correct statement---the issue is being litigated now and nothing is settled.

I don't think nicotine is considered a "controlled substance".

It is my understanding that the FDA considers both the liquid and the hardware as new drug devices. It would be very easy to stock up on batteries, atomizers, etc,,, As far As the liquid goes, you can purchase pharmaceutical grade nicotine, USP propylene glycol and other ingredients to make your own liquid. The handling of liquid nicotine is very dangerous though and must be done with full protective garments worn including gloves, mask, etc,,, It is not a practice I would recommend for anyone to attempt at home who does not have full knowledge of what they are doing. I would simply stock up now on everything now for at least a year and that way you won't have to worry about anything. If everyone who vaped now stocked up for 1-2 years, who cares what the lame FDA's possition is??

Totally incorrect assumption. And one of the worst things ever done by e-smokers was to call the nicotine liquid "juice". Can you say "drug user"??????

I understand what you're getting at, but it was called "juice" because liquid formulas intended to be used in vaporizers to create a mist that creates the illusion of smoke has been called "juice" for 30 years.

At least you see my point. It's bad slang. Juice is a prisoner who got away with killing his wife. Juice is electricity flowing through the power lines. Juice is what I get from oranges. E-liquid is what we vaporize.
