I just can't see e-cigs not being banned. Maybe they will come back, and with a prescription you can get a 10 ml bottle of 4mg juice for $50, but I think that it's more likely that the juice will be banned alogether, and we'll eventually just be able to buy weak, heavily taxed cartridges.
I'm in Canada, and if there's a ban here, I can't see it taking very long for them to shut down the small amount of suppliers here. If they ban it in the States, I can see all the western supplies online being sold out before most people even hear the news.
I hope I'm wrong, but I don't trust the government at all, and I don't trust the media to give smokers a fair shake. I'm paying almost $10/pack here, the places I can't smoke is constantly increasing, and as a smoker I'm depicted as a smelly, ugly, ignorant, walking plague, who's spreading death and disease to all I come in contact with.
Once my current orders are delivered, I'll have 900+ mls of liquid. About 600 mls are 36mg, but I'm not sure how long that will last me. I'm a 2 pack/day smoker and my smokes say they contain 1.1-2.4 mg of nicotine, (whatever that means.)
I'd like to have a years supply, which will give me time to wean off, find the black market, or learn how to make it myself. I'll keep a good supply of atomizers and batteries on hand as well, but it's the juice that I'm most concerned about. I just can't see them ever approving it to be sold in it's current form.
