Cost of FDA approval and a way to bypass it for mod makers ???

It's a modern world. Even if they banned e-cigs completly, something else would simply take it's place. People are still going to do what people do, and all the laws in the world will never change that. Eggplant farms will be springing up everywhere

I just hope that not to many start supporting the government subsidized Afghan poppy farmers in the process.

There are already e-cig to flashlight adapters available, so there will probably be flashlight to e-cig adapters made, once there is a demand for it, cos lets face it flashlight tubes and mech mods are basically the same thing, with little variation.
The bigger problem is how to sell attys as flashlights, i guess you could consider that pmma body kayfun as a flashlight, just not a very good one

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see how the FDA can even regulate mods and the like. There is no tobacco in them, and they are not something consumable, so it seems that it would be outside their purview. Maybe I'm just oversimplifying things, but seems the only thing they could really regulate or ban would be the nicotine.

I agree completely. The "battery packs" contain no food and no drugs, therefore they are outside the authority of the Food & Drug Administration. And I seriously doubt that any government agency will ever be successful in regulating the sale of customized flashlights, even ones with interchangeable lighting units. And isn't the entire purpose of aromatherapy devices is to vaporize scented liquid? You could buy a specialized aromatherapy kit, take the vaporizing unit out of it and install it in the place of a flashlight's lighting assembly.

The e-juice, sans nicotine, can be sold as aromatherapy scented liquid. And unless I'm mistaken, the FDA has been regulating the sale of the only ingredient that IS a drug, concentrated nicotine solution, to consumers for at least a couple of decades.

I feel confidant that there will be a myriad of loopholes that can be utilized to walk right around unjust laws, but that DOESN'T mean we should ease off of putting pressure on lawmakers with organizations such as CASAA. We'll need everything we've got to counter the issues of unjust over-regulation and the potential illegalization of vaping products.
