Okay question for the group - while it isn't going to happen, at least not in its entirety- If tomorrow they backed off of everything taxes included and you were already stocked up - Would you feel any remorse? Would you sell and rebut or just go with what you have?

Ok two questions...

I'd just use up everything I have. Well, other than probably still picking up some favorite premixed juice that stays available. I didn't buy anything I don't like or wouldn't use in daily rotation, so I don't feel there's any waste for me.

I would be kinda bummed about all that nic I have that I could have sold for a small fortune on the black market though. Guess I'll just have to vape it all instead.:)

No remorse, nada. It would not affect my plan going forward other than a big sigh of relief. And if that happened prices would probably return to normal or increase so if I already have all I want and need that would not effect me.

I've used the same REO daily since January of last year. Just last week it started leaking on me. I figured it was probably time for a rebuild and it's as good a time as any to see if I can do it. Turned out that wasn't necessary at all. I had just worn a hole in the bottle from squonking. So I replaced the bottle and gave the mod a bath. Good as new. :D

Giving the mod a bath is one of the great advantages of a REO. :)

No remorse at all. I would just revel in the fact that I wouldn't have to buy anything --- ever :D
I wouldn't sell. I would just continue to enjoy the same things I have enjoyed for a couple of years now. The dooming regs didn't force me to buy anything that I wouldn't have bought if this hadn't happened in the first place other than a few extra coils for my favorite toppers and backups for my favorite battery holder (kbox mini)

I would not feel remorse, I would be more relaxed about the future knowing I could continue to buy factory coils and my 2 favorite juices. I have the DIY stuff, but still feel a bit nervous about using it. I don't want to feel forced into DIY, but do want to try it on my own terms.

I like the hardware I have, so I would keep using it. The money has been spent, so I would be paying myself back if I stop shopping. I was the same way before May 2016, so I would probably be the same way (but using nicer stuff) I was going forward.

I would celebrate. The only things I have are a few dozen mechs that wouldn't get ever used. I would not need to buy anything other than juice for years.

Everything in my stash fits the way I vape and most of it bought at clearance prices.

I would go with what I have. These unfortunate circumstances have given me the nudge I need, to see what I can do. I might need another nudge as I haven't done much yet other than stock up. ;)

While I love my fave adv, to be honest I am tired of paying close to $20/30ml (I usually stock up when there is a sale so I probably haven't purchased it at full price)

I wouldn't feel any remorse for what I've purchased so far, because I think/hope I've spent wisely.

I'd feel some relief and maybe wish I had bought a bit less nic, but other than that, no regrets. I accumulated most of the hardware I like before the regs came out as it's being or has been discontinued. If the last couple liters of nic degraded years from now I would consider the hundred bucks or so as an insurance policy that was worth it.

That is why I only have two types. Found what worked - learned how to keep it working and the rest of this great journey hopefully is in glide mode.
Yep if you keep trying new RTA's you keep fighting the wicking battle.
I have only had 2 bad wickings in my STM's in almost a year now.
No leaks runs or errors.

No remorse whatsoever. I'll always DIY so the nic stockup is used regardless.It would be fun to buy a juice I like now and then just for the heck of it, but the DIY will always be the mainstay. Same with mods and attys. I'll use what I have. Even if they backed off the nothing new can be brought to market it wouldn't matter to me personally. I haven't liked the way the market has been going for a long time and haven't bought anything new for quite awhile before the deeming hit. I don't care for sub ohming and watt boxes so I never got into it anyway. And I'm not at all interested in acquiring pod mods. So the market and me parted ways a while back and I'll stick with what I have. Another factor for me is that retirement is looming. It will be wonderful to vape through my golden years without having to spend money on vaping supplies beyond an occasional battery or bottle of pg/vg.

    Love that, I am going to call them watt boxes from now on. Probably tick off a lot of watt boxers though but if I can be a tootle puffer, they can be watt boxers.

    If it all went back to what it was before, I would be dancing in the street. No remorse, would sell a few things probably and go back to not buying much of anything which is where I was for over 2 years prior to the dooming.

    Yea even I have worried about how far they have pushed some devices. I hope none of these super powerful devices never go rampant on someone - it is not going to be pretty...

    Another thought: not to be a negative nelly but I have pretty much accepted that things will never be the same. I don't see the FDA being forced to reverse totally and even if by some miracle that happened, it is only a matter of time until some idiot blows a 300 or more watt box up in his/her face. Then the FDA will say, 'see, we told you it was dangerous and we needed to protect the public'.
