If most vaping becomes non/kosher elderly, I don't see how vape shops selling "new" gear are even going to be ALLOWED to, let alone "make it."
I have gotten enough nic for the rest of my life, and plenty of reliable (and yes, a few mechs and rdas, cols (drop ins AND premade) wire, flavors et.
I mean some stuff goes bad but also some stuff, like flavorings, it will happen.
However, I can stare at my loveliest setup in joy and then think "It is pretty darn useless without something to PUT in it."
Anyone without a fair amount of gear and some nicotine is going to be at the mercy of the black market. I was at the mercy of the black market (and the expensive, not even so dangerous one, as it happens) but I have NO DESIRE to do it again.
I'd rather not "need" all the nic and still use it, I am always going to DIY and stored correctly it will last for a very long time.
I have no more "needs" at this time. I am going to relax with that for a bit, I think. I just genuinely am.
