Bingo!...and we prob won't as long as there's tax money that can be collected.

I have not been convinced that e-liquid ingredients last more than a couple/few years no matter how they are stored.I stocked up in 2013 before "panic" (the initial deeming) because I got a good deal on bulk buys and knew what I'd be vaping for a while. I've added since but more for the cost savings and again - I know what I'll be vaping. There's really no downside in stocking up,(except present time cash flow) since you'll be using it all eventually, IF you have nailed down your flavors and your favorite hardware. Or UNLESS you plan to quit vaping, of course. At this point we have 2 years, except some states may be raising taxes on eliquids, etc. before that.
By your picture, I thought you were older?Born in Detroit in 1959. Moved to Illinois in 1960. Both my P's were born and raised in Illinois (Dad Chicago, Mom Elmhurst). They moved to MI for a couple years and that's when I was born (Detroit) and then they moved back to IL. As bad as IL is, they aren't as bad as Detroit. But they're getting there.![]()
If you think FDA has gone to all this trouble in order to just ignore its new regs you truly live in a fantasy world.I'd like a list of how many regs ever written that are irrelevant, ignored, insignificant, immaterial, extinct, outdated, dried on the vine or unenforced.

So you disbelieve Kurt, a chemist, who has 6 YO nic that is as good as the day he bought it ?I have not been convinced that e-liquid ingredients last more than a couple/few years no matter how they are stored.
I haven't stocked up on anything.
Then so be it. I'm not going to rip my hair out worrying about it.Nope but the smoking rate keeps declining and more restrictions on their use all the time.
Vaping will be the same way.
I suspect that more than a FEW, maybe only needed nic and a lil wire.I think you already have a lifetime supply of attys, perhaps I am mistaken.![]()
Being unconvinced is not the same as disbelieving. I would need a lot more evidence than one chemist. And that in no way is a knock on Kurt. Quite the contrary...I'm glad he has done what he has done so far.So you disbelieve Kurt, a chemist, who has 6 YO nic that is as good as the day he bought it ?
Only if we are given a choice. There are NO kids in my house!!! I actually had to take a knife and cut the child proof caps off of the last 2 liters of nicotine I bought. I was terrified that I was going to either cut myself of end up spilling a liter of 100mg/ml all over the place. It is great that everyone wants to protect the kiddos but how about a little consideration for the senior citizens too.Well, nobody in the vaping community is arguing about keeping our gear and liquids away from kids.
So I am fine with child-resistant bottles, and age verification for online orders.
But I totally agree with this assessment.Cuz if you look at it from that angle: FDA approved and regulated drugs are doing in people by the hundreds, if not even thousands. 'Un'approved and 'un'regulated vaping hasn't done that.
So FDA got it all backwards. Fail to regulate the truly dangerous stuff. Jump on the almost harmless stuff.
Cuz - apparantly - it's not killing *enough* people...
LOL. I have enough hardware or can easily acquire enough to last a lifetime. Hardware never concerned me. E-liquid has though...for two reasons.I think you already have a lifetime supply of attys, perhaps I am mistaken.![]()
Sounds suspiciously like the "we just don't know enough" argument. And of course there are many here reporting 5 years or more successful storage but I don't want to confuse the discussion with more facts or evidence. You are free to believe what you want although I doubt you will convince many here of your beliefBeing unconvinced is not the same as disbelieving. I would need a lot more evidence than one chemist. And that in no way is a knock on Kurt. Quite the contrary...I'm glad he has done what he has done so far.
I think a little of that has to do with the fact that the govt. there covers health care, so they have a vested interest in helping people get/stay healthy...hence, actually having unbiased studies so they can base decisions on scientific findings.Then so be it. I'm not going to rip my hair out worrying about it.
There is one ray of light that few talk about. This is in the UK where it appears the powers that be are embracing the health benefits of vaping (to an extent). In the years to come if we see their cigarette related health issues decline at levels we all believe they will as a result of vaping then it is going to be too hard for other governments to ignore.

Ohh yes if that happens we will for sure have cigalikes and prefilled cartridges.Then so be it. I'm not going to rip my hair out worrying about it.

Don't care. I'm not here to convince anyone else of my beliefs. I have better things to do with my time. I learned a long time ago that in the whole scheme of things I'm about as important as a mole on an elephantass and have no false illusions that I can impact someone enough to do things my way as it pertains to what they inhale in their lungs. But I'm OK with that.Sounds

1) I am as finicky as it gets. I've sampled hundreds of flavors but have only two I find as acceptable every day vapes. I have zero confidence I could DIY a flavor I like. I'd go back to smoking before that happened. I know me.
2) I'm not counting on being able to stock enough e-liquid (or its components) to last me the rest of my lifetime...God willing.I'd run out sooner or later. Likely much sooner.
