FDA Date of the Deeming?

[AndriaD]

That would make the preppers among us (including me) look kinda silly.

But I hope you're right anyway!

"When hell freezes over" was my contribution. And it's not like that nicotine is gonna go to waste!

And I'll still stand by that choice. Might as well vote my preference, and give it energy.

AdriaD, we have big reusable 5 gallon plastic bottles in Mexico, and there is a truck that home delivers! Really don't go to Belize. Oaxaca is a nice option but Cancun or Playa del Carmen is better if you don't want to struggle with the language.

Although in vape terms, I don't know where jambi gets his stuff in Oaxaca but we don't really get all the new tech or liquids down here, we specially suffer with liquid.

Well if we ever did decide to leave the US (and had the money to do so!), we'd probably go with Canada, probably British Columbia. Because of the language, because Canadians are just so darn nice, and because I've always wanted to go see all that up there in the Pacific NW. But honestly... knowing what it cost to relocate to a different *state*... I doubt we'll ever have the wherewithal to relocate to a different *country*.

Is anyone else uneasy about the MFS unflavored nic sale? 40% price reduction has me concerned that there are whispers of an unfavorable decision by the OMB.

Here's hoping I'm just paranoid!

I was wondering about that myself. Not in regards to OMB but why so cheap. Almost ready to buy more, because my 4 year supply isn't enough.

Funny that you mention that, because VapersTek has also slashed the price on their liter size of the TH nicotine; normally $40-$45, now $25.

Crap

I'd say it's a good thing; they're facilitating all of us trying to get ready for the stupid deeming. Getting that liter brought my stash to about 22 yrs worth. If I dropped again, from 5mg to 3mg, I'd have even more.

[curiousJan]

Hopefully the deeming doesn't drop before Friday (and the sale lasts that long) so I can order 2 or 3 more liters.

This is such bull puckey!

 

[curiousJan]

1L == 9 years for me

I'd have enough to last the rest of my life if I can get an order in before the manure hits the oscillating blades.

it's been at that price for months now

Or maybe quite the opposite is true... If there are whispers of a favorable decision, they need to move their supplies fast while they still can...

Why would anyone lower nic prices in anticipation of a ban?

 

[AndriaD]

A liter is enough for a little over 11 yrs for me; so with what I had, I now have enough for 20-22 yrs. If i drop to 3mg, then a liter is enough for 18.5 yrs, so my supply would be 35-37 yrs' worth.

I was thinking that too -- maybe they're dropping prices to capitalize on all the panic, just to move stock.

Who knows.

Exactly...but regardless, may as well buy more when it's really inexpensive just for S's and giggles.

Nicotine base has been on sale for months everywhere since the news of the imminent deeming regs broke. Everywhere. People are stockpiling like there's no tomorrow. If the deeming regs are rejected, modified or kicked down the road again, for some reason, the sales of nicotine will either plummet or come to a screeching halt for unforeseeable future.

Besides, I have seen nothing in the regs (as leaked) that bans or restricts sales of nicotine base. They are going after the end product, at least for the time being. Yes, there is the "intended use" clause, but that will certainly be challenged in court.

To move product while online sale is still legal?

Edited to address Katya's comment: online sale of tobacco is prohibited, iirc. Once deemed unflavored base will be saleable face-to-face only by existing law/regulation.

 

[Katya]

Everything is supposed to stay legal for at least 21 or 24 months--no matter how they rule.

I trust that "supposed to" about as far as I can shot-put a car.

Oh, I know, but I still don't see why they would lower the prices now. They will have plenty of time to sell their stock for higher prices after the regs are published and challenged and dragged through courts.

 

[curiousJan]

In the scenario I'm describing there will be no selling without an injunction in favor of vaping. I can't see that happening.
