It is all good. I have a few very loyal vendors that I go through. JUICE is the big problem here. Gov. Inslee is a... well, I am a lady, I won't say that, but he is a .... yacht.
I have been making my own juice since 2012, so I am pretty safe for the most part. Several folks have already tried to contact me about me possibly selling to them. Not gonna happen though, I don't want to get into any trouble.
Nic base hoarding is rampant. Prices have gone way up. Food grade PG and VG will likely remain available. It’s high grade nic base and safe flavorings that are most likely to become difficult to obtain. Flavorings have always been food flavorings though so I don’t know how much control can be exerted there. There would be ways though. Requiring them to be oil based would be one. It would kill people, but it’s clear that this is not a deterrent for these people. Cigarettes kill more people in an hour than all the people killed so far by “vaping”.
Not all nations are buying the marketing BS from BT, though a few have. China, and to a lesser degree India are key. Your coil cartridges are made in China.
India makes nic, but it’s not the only source. Intercontinental smuggling is not my forte though, so counting on nic base being available to me at least is very much in doubt. There are reasons to use nic for other things domestically though. One, though there are likely others, is it’s the only pesticide capable of killing emerald borer beetles without also killing the tree they live in. A rather nasty invasive species that is killing vast numbers of trees in the US. It is possible that nic May remain available. Prices will of course skyrocket.
I’d say your biggest issue very possibly IS baby beast coils. the loyalty of your vendor is irrelevant. If they’re not made they’re not made. You may want to be looking into some high grade solid stainless RTAs or RDAs and learning how to build them as a backup if nothing else.
