Sounds a bit like "No Taxation without representation"... And we all know how that played out. Just kidding
Irony it's Phili, seat of Liberty.
I'd write Mayor Nutter (another irony)*rolly eyes*
a very respectful letter (and start a grass roots petition, and letter writing and all that other stuff you do to elicit change) that lets those elected officials know if there's any more taxes or restrictions to vaping they'll be looking for another job come election time.
We got Tom Delay in office and we took him out ..out in Sugar Land, TX where I resided for 25 years prior to moving over here to Pearland..and others.
get active, I'm sure the B&M's will have something going on..I'd hope.

I don't know about you but I don't trust any politician. That being said, I still believe in our country as a whole. There are nations and countries that have tyrants for leaders and take everything from their people. As much as I can complain about our leaders being greedy, they still allow me to live comfortably which is more than I can say for many others. I for one do not want to see this country come full circle on itself.
It's a shame, but we couldn't have deluded ourselves to believe that vaping would remain largely untaxed forever. We're taking a big revenue source away since cigarette sales are declining. The taxation on cigarettes was originally imposed as a means of accounting for the massive increased healthcare costs smokers put on the system. We don't have those added costs, but people have forgotten the original point of those taxes. They're just another way to line the coffers.
State and federal logic for generating revenue seems to stem from increasing taxation rather than more effective fiscal management. Over bloated bureaucracies are huge money sinks due to the massive employee contingent and how long it takes to get anything done.
Mail order is the way to go, hope you don't like to try before you buy...

I could see if the amount were reasonable and demonstrated any understanding of vaping at all, but why would anyone vape shop in Philly when you can either order online to evade the tax or make close 10 ml for the tax on 1 from the comfort of your own home. All this does is hurt the Philly economy more.
Sounds like taxation with representation.
But any way one votes the representation is the same along with the taxation.
The answer is not to think outside the box.
The answer is to fix the box.

If the tax is $.50 per ml of nicotine, then in a 30 ml bottle of 24mg juice there is only about 7ml of 100mg juice. So if you break it down farther if pure nicotine. is 1000mg then there is only 0.24ml of nicotine.
These figures might not be right, but you can see what I am getting at.

i don't know how it goes in your state but here in Minnesota they do things differently.
if the state says it cost them 600 million for smoking related illness they really mean
Minnesotans payed 600 million.80% of which was out of pocket or paid with insurance.
of course none of the money thru the settlement or taxes ever paid the bills of any smoker.
its put in the general fund with some going to smoke free Minnesota org. to spew propaganda
against smoking that's turning into general hysteria against e-cig's.

There`s a nationwide election coming up in a few weeks. Please vote SANITY, instead of warm fuzzy feelings.
Yes, but there have to be better politicians to elect for that to work!
Another uneducated politician...who would have thought!?! Looks like online buying will be the way to go until they find a way to tax all of that too.
Thing of it is, nobody thinks your talking about their guys.................. stupid is as stupid does and there is a whole lot of stupid.
It is only a matter of time before governments world wide tax the very air we breathe!
They have been trying hard to do that with that trumped up carbon problem.
