Anyone know if they'll for sure block all hardware from China, etc. fasttech from shipping to the US?

Ideally I'd at least like to have access to coils so I don't have to start building again.

Obviously they can embargo anything they want, but it's kind of BS if they go after every piece-part...
Nope, nobody actually knows. All we can do is speculate.

Thanks!
If all kinds of illegal stuff can get in and out of the US, I wouldn't be too concerned about mods, tanks and coils coming in from China, Europe and even Canada. Hell, I would drive across the border from Canada to ship my friends vape gear if need be.

I personally had some concerns with Nautilus coils as they are all my wife uses, but the recently announced Nautilus 2 tank uses them, which is great news for us as I can't see Aspire discontinuing them before I have a chance (and the $$$) to buy a few hundred. If you have a coil preference, I would start stocking up, but you still have likely a year and a bit.

So will August 2018 be the end of the speculation , when we'll actually get some answers?
I dunno. I think it may be as much a question of how much they actually decide to enforce it all.

Only as a matter of perspective, consider the stuff that's recently been legalized for recreational use in several states. It's still illegal at the federal level, but the FedGov simply doesn't bother to enforce it in states those states.

So that's a possible positive thing!

Sorry to beat the proverbial dead horse, but I need to have this crystal clear: I can get devices for sure until aug 2018, but nicotine procurement could cease any day?
Who knows?

The assumption is that nic and ejuice would be the easiest target and it is the most important piece of the vaping puzzle for all of us.

Anyone that thinks they will be able to buy 100,000mg of nic shipped by regular mail or courier for $40-50 in a year or two is delusional IMO. I may be wrong, but I just don't see most govts allowing this to continue. Actually, I HOPE I am wrong, but that's a lot of tax $$$ being left on the table for every litre sold.

@ChelsB - That liter of nic in the pic you posted is in plastic, right? You aren't bottling your nic for the freezer in glass?

I was just going to do one in plastic for use within a year.
I have some large brown glass bottles coming on Tuesday for the long term

The other angle is that with all the talk about Trump deregulating the FDA and having put a freeze on all new regs, it's STILL not absolutely for certain ANY of this will happen.

One thing is for sure, I'm not done bugging Washington, because all of this is BS and the wind is definitely blowing in a different direction at a lot of regulatory agencies...

That's exactly the kind of info I need. Hope you don't mind if I take a screenshot and show my husband

I would stockpile now while things are still available. The sellers may shut down sooner than you think they would.

Unfortunately I don't have the luxury of freezing it...yet. I'm using all my extra cash to get devices and nic. I hope to have a freezer in 8 months or so

Of course not.

Sucks we even have to worry about it. I just hate to think about anyone going back to smoking from vaping just because government made it cost prohibitive to continue vaping.

I know. For the first time I don't have a chronic cough and was off my COPD meds /inhaler within 2 weeks of quitting the stinkies!
Someone at work actually complained to HR because I was coughing so much when I smoked

If your glass bottles are due to arrive on Tuesday...why not just do it all in glass bottles? I wouldn't keep 1L of nic in a plastic bottle for even a year, personally.

That's why I love you guys. Showing me the error of my ways, I appreciate it! I figured it was no big deal but if somebody told me to put in glass I would. And here we are!

Sure, there's a possibility that we're all over-reacting.

But it's a real comfort for me to know that I already have everything I really need to vape for the rest of my life. I sleep like a baby with no worries. :)
