Title pretty much says it. In the interest of the possible ruin of the vaping industry I’m heavily leaning into DIY ejuice. Having said that, if worst case scenario were to happen, is there any other legitimate reason for nicotine to be available on the market the way that it is? I’ve admittedly not put too much research behind this but I’m interested in what the possible answers may be

As far as I can think...it's only used in smoking, and as a means to stop smoking...and ofcourse, for something better than smoking...like vaping 
It's used for other NRTs....patches, gum, lozenges, inhalers, etc.
Used to be used as a pesticide before the EPA stopped allowing it.

I wonder if those products make use of nicotine that is ready to be used in mixing e juice or if it’s a different consistency or concentration.. like for instance our nicotine comes in either a PG or VG dilute to a specific nicotine by volume percentage, I’m worried that those other products make use of nicotine in let’s say a ethyl alcohol dilute or something like that that is not suitable for making e juice
And then just dilute from there with whatever other chemicals they want according to the application? I wonder if the average joe can just order a jug of pure nicotine?
Nope. You can't handle it without a lab, a hood and protective gear. Seriously. We're not even allowed to discuss it here per ECF rules. It's pure poison.
Nicotine - Wikipedia
Nicotine use as a tool for quitting smoking has a good safety history. Nicotine itself is associated with some health harms. Nicotine is potentially harmful to non-users. At low amounts, it has a mild analgesic effect.The Surgeon General of the United States indicates that nicotine does not cause cancer. However, nicotine can react in the mouth and stomach to form N-Nitrosonornicotine, a known type 1 carcinogen. Nicotine has been shown to produce birth defects in some animal species, but not others. It is considered a teratogen in humans. The median lethal dose of nicotine in humans is unknown, but high doses are known to cause nicotine poisoning.

At least some commercial eliquid companies will be in business after the 9th but that would come to nothing if they can't buy their inputs, PG, VG, nic and flavoring.Those have to be available somewhere. If they can buy nic I bet we can too. We'll know in a few days.
