I posted some post-deeming info. on the Post 8-8-16 Stocking thread...that the owner of several area vape shops passed along to his employees in a meeting with them all yesterday morning. Here's just a few things he told them that the FDA is planning to do:
As of 1-1-2017 the FDA will give a reward of $10,000 to anyone who turns in someone who is making juice not in an approved facility. (I asked my neighbor, who is an employee there, about home juice makers, and he said the owner said beware if you make and sell any of it to others...even friends).
The FDA is trying to get a system worked out to hire a large number of people who either are underage, or "look to be underage"...to go into vape shops on a "sting" mission, to see if they all get carded before being able to buy anything, and denied if they are indeed underage! Said they wanted to somehow get local Health Depts. involved in it, too.
As far as what goes on in his own shops:
No more custom juice in a variety of ratios, to cut down on # of different products they make. Will only be making 20PG/80VG, unless someone asks for the "COPD blend" (which is 50/50).
His employees are to card everyone...doesn't matter if they're silver haired and are most likely 60+ years old - they get carded before being able to buy anything!
The owner "thinks" he's found a way to get around having testers in his shops, by having people become verified "members" of a vaping club in order to use them. Paying their monthly membership dues would entitle them to both sample tester eliquids and/or buy things in his shops. If you're not a "member", you can't do either.
He didn't detail any changes for his website sales. Neighbor who works there said the owner told them he still had things to "work out" for his online business.
Just thought I'd pass those things along. Don't know if any other shops are planning similar things, but I guess we'll see as time goes by.
