Good point, if they're allegedly in violation of Vermont state law, I'd like to see what the specific charges are. If it's the federal FDA thing, it wouldn't be the VT AG pursuing this.

Yeah... Not to say that the FDA won't be contacting Vermont Vapor also.
BTW - I wonder if Dr. Tredwell is planning on Defending himself in this matter?
BTW2 - Looks like Vermont Vapor has a New Landing Page.
Formerly Vermont Vapor, Inc.
Check Out the link to "our story".
My interest is piqued, and in the small amount of digging I've done, I don't see anything in the state's tobacco laws that would apply. The only mention of the consumer protection act under the tobacco laws is a section dealing with internet sales of cigarettes. No mention in that section of "tobacco substitutes" which is what vermont seems to classify vapor products as.
It's not the state tobacco law is the state consumer protection act on on supported medical claims

I don't think it has Anything to do with "Tobacco".
Because when I Google this "[Vermont] Consumer Protection Act “unfair or deceptive acts and practices in commerce” from this article...
E-cigarette seller faces $50,000 fine over marketing - VTDigger
I get this...
Vermont Laws
I assume it's this bit:
§ 2453. Practices prohibited; antitrust and consumer protection
(a) Unfair methods of competition in commerce and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce are hereby declared unlawful.
Of course, I can't find a definition of that, and I'm sure it could be fought, but I can understand not wanting to.
Ya the state has been gunning for them anyhow for causing a lot of problems with law makers at the state house so I think thy jumped on it VT law makers are in some big yank on it because some kid was caught Vaping on a school bus "save the kids"

To be honest if my kid was going to smoke or vape I would tell him to vape thy going to do it anyhow so vt is doing all this on vaping but getting ready to legalize pot

Honestly, nobody really knows. The safe thing to do? Order a few liters of nic and stash it in your freezer. Read up on DIY. It's dead simple to do (low chance of you dead unless you start swigging it). As long as you have that, the rest will always be available such as VG/ PG, and most flavorings. If you like any tobacco derived flavorings, those may also be at risk. no, I'm not sure how to best protect them for the long term, probably refrigerator (if someone knows better, or it should be the freezer, please pipe up).
With your nic stash set, you can turn to hardware. There you might have until 2018 to finish stocking, but some things may become harder to get such as new hardware releases. Simple protection. Mods that use replaceable batteries so when the battery will no longer hold a charge (happens to all Li batteries) you swap in a new one. Tanks preferably rebuildable. I prefer RTAs as they're made to build on unlike the RBAs you can get for factory coil tanks. Those are small and can be finicky to work with.
Everything else, wire, cotton, batteries, will always be around so no point piling that in the back of the closet too.
I think a common thread of the businesses closing due to regulation now, that we've heard of here anyway, is they have done well. On the one hand, they're cutting and running. On the other, they do actually have something to lose. Which means they could fight on, but are choosing not to because it could be expensive.
If a business violates the law by something a private citizen says on the business premises, whether that's the physical location or it's virtual location that's going to be a serious free speech problem. Are the advertisers on this forum liable for what we say in conversation? In the mean time Vermont has a very large cigarette tax to protect which is a not so subtle way of killing people for money so of course they are ruthless. Drug dealers are ruthless, duh?
At any rate, I bought the guy a shot of rum for $1. I ordered my first 2 liters of nicotine today as that's the element most at risk, imo, right ahead of mods and toppers. I will be stockpiling all 3 as long as I can. I'm not letting the government force me back into smoking. Ever. So disgusting to even consider.
