Big Tobacco proposes open container tank ban for e-liquid

[Nightshard]

No surprise here.
If you refill a tank with with your own e-liquid, why would you need them?

And don't forget, a lot of us are DIYers. I'm forcing myself to learn how to do that, just BECAUSE I knew some crap like this would come along eventually. And my most recent efforts have been fairly successful, finally have a self-made "Virginia" flavor that actually tastes good.

Andria

Is there a recipe somewhere ??

My attempts so far have been... well... you know... crap...

It's about power and control. BT, BP, and BGov see a bit of it slipping away from them because of e-cigs, They want it back.

I believe several of us have been predicting this "shot" for the last two years.

We basically have only two options left, IMO:

1. Vote "smart" in November and hope that the leadership of the Senate changes hands, which will lead to the best chance of derailing the Deeming Regulations.

2. Be prepared financially to contribute as much as possible to a class action lawsuit brought by CASAA or SAFTA or both.

LOL! Do you REALLY think that a party power switch will be better for vapers? Seems to me that it would be just the opposite. BT and BP will have a field day. They will be laughing all the way to the bank.

I disagree. You imply that a change in controlling party would help, but the thing is this isn't a party problem, this is a money problem. Regardless of party, money talks, and when it does politicians are more than willing to listen.

Angie B- "It's disturbing as all get out that BB & BT are doing everything possible to snuff out vaping as we know it so their gas station cig a likes are the only "legal" ecigs on the market."

Yes Corporate tobacco will control what ecig is available inside gas station. Corporate oil will control what type of fuel is available outside gas station. What petrol and "fracking" is doing to planet really pales in comparison to the little people with their vape tanks. Gotta love a government that has its priorities in line.

Here is a good video on fracking. I see it as the way we well be getting energy for the next 200 years at least.

I dont think that is what he is trying to say, I believe he is saying that Republicans love BB and will do anything to help them. While I believe that in some cases this is true (even though their plan is to help stimulate the entire economy not just BB), they love individuals personal liberty's more and would not regulate ecigs out of existence.

I do see your point as well, and agree, sadly, that this is the case often.

What if e-Liquids in Liquid Form go Bye-Bye?

Isn't that what BT would like to see? All e-Liquids to being Sold in some Pre-Filled Form.

DIY here we come, that's VG and the flavorings you can use for food, nicotine I can see them taxing, but I'll be making my own, going to anyhow..it's getting out of hand with the two of us and the premium juices.

I've been playing with copying those flavors using already made juices and combining them and I've got a winner for Queenside and Mother's Milk, I'm perfecting Gambit, Port LB and White Rabbit and almost there, they're good to vape either way.

If they ban anything it should be disposables, all that crap ending up in the landfills,and
they are all overpriced, even with the mods and gear i'm buying today, i'm way ahead
a 15ml bottle of juice lasts me a month!
PV's should be toted as environmental friendly
