    Just my opinion, but this story about the FDA sending agents to check on B&M shops and online vendors with B&M shops doesn't seem right. And for several reasons.

    It would take a massive force to check on every sku in every shop and online shop. At this point, the FDA can't find its ... with both hands, a mirror, and a map.

    My guess has always told me the FDA never intended for the PMTA process to get as far as it has and reach this point. It got away from the FDA. IMO, one of the reasons why the FDA did not start the process in 2016 because it is a herculean and damn impossible task to check everything being sold. The only reason the FDA is starting the process now is because a court forced their hand.

    Let's set up a scenario by which an FDA agent walks into a shop and wants to see a PMTA filing for every product. When the filing cost upwards of $500,000, the paperwork isn't at the shop. It's at the lawyer's office. Does the agent then go to the lawyer's office and demand to see the paperwork? Remember this is a lawyer's office. They won't be seeing anything without a court order and that takes time.

    I don't know how this is all going to play out. But I do believe the FDA will be inundated with PMTA filings up the wazoo. They cannot possibly check every line item. We might just see a wholesale "approved" from the FDA. Some regulation about labs and manufacturing, but that's it.

    I could be wrong.

    It will end up like Skylab and Y2K. Remember those? Me neither.

    Pretty sure their going to go in to every shop they can, find the one bottle of 0-nic cotton candy flavor e-liquid that rolled under the counter 10 years ago, shut that shop down, and parade the aforementioned cotton candy around as evidence that vapers are trying to actively recruit the youth to a satanic cabal... But I could be optimistic about that...

    Where do I apply??

    Supposedly the FDA is posting these "job" openings on Twitter. I cannot verify that since I am allergic to Twitter. But you can check there...if you aren't allergic, too.

    This information is coming from some Youtube superstar who burps a lot on his videos and is super repetitive and annoying, so I take everything I hear from him with a grain of salt. But it could be true.

    I've never known the government to care much for any court order. They often just ignore it. There is nobody going to enforce it unless it is political. Well now that I think of it, it kind of is, isn't it? :unsure:

    Maybe they give you coupons for Juul?

    Nah... JUUL is on their :censored:list right Now.

    I believe you receive a Lifetime Supply Chantix. As well as up to $2,500 reimbursement for Funeral Services if you happen to jump out of a 7th Story Window at 3 in the Mourning.

    I'm betting the FDA will be "hiring" these inspectors as 1099 self-contractors using a 3rd party, private company.

    I was wrong

    Hmmm, they're gonna need a whole heap'a taxes to justify those prices there Uncle. Makes ya wonder what the boss man makes.

    Good luck. :)

    I've never made $54K in a year in my life. If I made that much money per year, I would literally be rich and able to afford to save for retirement. Where I'm living, very few people make even $40K/yr, let alone $123K.

    I guess it pays to be a communist snitch government inspector.

    I'd take that job, and I'm qualified. I'd just walk into the vape shops with my Smok Mag 225w in hand, surrounded by clouds of vape. "You running a vape shop here?" "Selling any flavors to the kiddies?" "You're fine, have a nice day!"
    Makes me want to go back and get those 9 credits I need for a BA... Almost seems worth it for that

    You couldn't pay me enough to do that job…extorting vapers to get out of the way and join the rest of the smokers they intend to totally skewer.

    At the end of the day, that's what we're paying taxes for.

    We don't need that kind of government. Not in my name!

    Good luck. :)
