Would appear I'll be placing a panic order today. Hawaii is looking to ban all Internet sales as well as tax everything 85%. Vote comes on Wednesday, pray for me. Only got 3 months till I'm off the island so I guess I'll be attempting to purchase 3 months worth

Fingers crossed for you and all of us, once it's passed once somewhere you know it's just a matter of time unfortunately :(

Wow that's crazy I'm praying for u guys. As far as Bryces would they be able to stop you from just sending money to Brian through PayPal?

Oh wow. What's the deal with 85% tax?!

Pretty sure there all some work arounds so don't panic. Like if you send me a check or something.

Paypal doesn't do ecigs at all. I've seen a couple of businesses start out using paypal and then paypal figure it out then they start scrambling to make it work. Usually winds up with a credit card company digging their fingers into the supplier. It sucks cause it's usually a start up company that winds up getting screwed.

Cali was brewing something similar up recently. Very bad news.

The only one I've seen similar to this was rhode island. I don't know what happened with it. Someone mentioned in another thread that the worst states for these regs are the states with the worse gun control laws. Hawaii has some of the most serious laws I've ever seen. You even have to register BB guns here.

I'm ready to launch a credit card processor when and if it comes to that. Fees arnt that much worse than paypal.

Damn it would such for sure but at least your getting out. Not sure about other vendors but for me I'll take checks from people I know.

I came to terms with the fact they this juice thing won't last forever but gonna enjoy it while it lasts. If I can still get nic I'll keep making juice till the Feds show up and smash my lab lol.

I've actually considered the situation. Maybe you could sell your flavoring if they ban nicotine sales. There's no way pg/vg can be lumped in because they have applications outside of the ecig business. Hopefully flavoring will be the same. I'm planning to buy a big bottle of nic and start making my own once I get back to the mainland, I'm just nervous about it during the travel situations. If it comes to it I'll have my bottle shipped to the mainland. Luckily I'm at 6 mg which means a bottle of 100mg would be go a very long ways in DIY.

Hey Nicole :D

Have you heard anything about the ban in your state? I signed a petition on change.org against it so it probably won't pass.


-Lord

Hi (((((Bryan))))) :D
No I haven't heard anything about the ban. I really hope nothing comes of it. I am definitely keeping my eyes and ears open. I am a bit worried about it because Cali tends to do stupid things like that which causes others to follow suit. That wouldn't be a good thing at all. I'm hoping for the best. I definitely don't want to fall back into analogs....yuck! Thank you for signing the petition, I did also. :)

My understanding is that all the bans are for vaping in public. They're not actually talking about an all out ban right? It's a ban on vaping in the same places as cigs are banned correct?

No just click the link that Nicole just posted. That ban is for online sales of vaping products
