I have 7 setups that will likely outlast my natural lifetime and I have several litres of 100mg nic base.

however, if they ban batteries ... I'm $@&#%

Batteries are used in flashlights. That is the least likely thing to be affected. Even if the FDA required devices to be approved the Chinese could care less. I have seen some mods coming into the country boxed as ":Battery Boxes". Nicotine is the tough one. Everyone is trying to get the best method of prolonging life. It will be interesting to see if the FDA can hand over the entire industry to big tobacco and China.

Your thoughts, what are you doing to prepare? What do you think is necessary?

About a year ago I had thoughts about the unsure future of vaping, and took a few steps to try to insulate myself a bit. I began studying DIY and decided commit myself 100% to self made juice. I stashed a couple liters of nic in my freezer. I keep about two years worth of PG and VG on hand. I re-build my kanger coils, they will last a long time that way. I learned to use re-buildable atomizers of different types, and maximize them to my tastes. I stockpiled some mods known for there reliability and durability, and stockpiled some atomizers. Batteries shouldn't pose a problem, but I have more than I need. I learned to build simple mods.

In the meantime, I do what I can with the calls to action from CASAA, and write emails to my legislators when appropriate. Perhaps things will turn out better than many of us hope, but if they do not, it is wise to be prepared, and well armed.

The only thing to stockpile - nicotine.
Flavors - they will stay around, they are used in food (you just have to know which of them can be used for vaping; there are a lot of them).
PG and VG - they will be around forever.
Mechmod - buy a flashlight, make a mechmod. Easily.
A few RBA will work forever - stockpile if you wish.
Kanthal and/or nichrom will be around anyway.
Cotton... Do you really need to stockpile cotton?
China... I will rename a few things and prosper. I hope I will be able to buy my Vamos under name "VV/WW Vamo V11 Flashlight".

I was actually thinking about biting the bullet early and getting a REO before my 'reward REO.' I talked to one of the owners at my local B&M that sells an Easy DIY Kit just to get use to mixing. Well, I've been thinking about doing DIY for a while, but just haven't jumped into it yet. I can't 'stockpile' nic until I get my own place again since I can't have my chest freezer here at Mom's house (no idea where the heck I'd put it - lol!). I truly don't like the talk from the FDA...and don't like the idea of taxing us all to Pluto and back, so it would be cheaper. It's like the protocols from when I was a medic. There was tons of talk about changing the protocols - everyone said, "Oh, it won't happen for years." Then, one day they said, "The new book will be out next week. Study it. Take the test the week after. Be ready to implement the week after that." Well POO! Give us some warning, why don't you! I know, I'm rambling, but I like to be optimistic...with that streak of, "What if?" thrown in. lol

By having a lifetime supply of everything except PG, VG, and batteries stocked away before it happens. I've been vaping for 15 months now and I'm most of the way there already. You can't fight the city hall, but you can make their nonsense irrelevant to you personally.

Stockpile nic base that's all you need to do as everything else needed has far too many other uses to be banned. I don't know about mainland Europe but in the UK not everything in article 20 of the tobacco products directive is going to be enforced though I do expect the 2ml limitation on tank liquid capacity to be bought in hence why im buying high capacity tanks now got two lemos, two original subtanks and will have one or two subtank plusses. Whatever one nation does China will find someway round it thats what they are good at wouldn't be surprised if they started labeling nic base as some herbal remedy lol.
