If they banned ecigs, would you stockpile?

[PinoyBoy]

If this does happen, I'm going to buy a mechanical mod! Can't believe 2 of my favorite hobbies might get banned or restricted Even if I've only been vaping for a month or so, I'm scared for what might happen to vaping.

Just wondering, does Nic, VG, and PG have an expiration date or shelf life? If I do decide to stockpile, how much time will these ingredients have before they become unsafe to inhale?

Wait, what's the 2nd hobby?

Well at least we know there is never going to be an outright BAN on ecigs now. With all the big tobacco companies coming out/already have out ecigs, there is no way in hell ALL ecigs will disappear. At least that's the way I see it. I don't see how they would be able to ban something like an eVic, the casing for that will last forever, and they can't ban 18650 batteries. I guess liquid is the only thing to worry about. I probably only have somewhere in the 500mL range now....must stock up on more.

They really don't have to ban anything. Just eliminate online sales by not allowing any payment processing and it does the same thing. That's happened before with 'politically incorrent" business', legitimate or not.

I believe both Ebay and PayPal have got policies against working with e-cigarette business' even though it doesn't appear to be enforced right now. That could change overnight.

Funny thing about that. I did a recent search on Amazon for e-cigarettes in hopes of finding some concise reviews. I found herbal cigarettes, and who knows what. What I did not find were e cigarettes.

Here's a couple to get you started:
Amazon.com: Electronic Cigarettes: What the Experts Say eBook
Amazon.com: Vapers Guide - The Definitive Guide To Vaping eBook

I saw my first a couple of months ago. They're multiplying like bunnies! But, make sure to look at the reviews first. You'll likely be disappointed with all the beginner's guides and DIY stuff because ECF has so much more. At least, that's what the reviews say!

I stockpile everything...Juice is no different.

It's sad cause if that happens prices are gonna be inflated incredibly and we will see egos being sold for $300 on black market websites. Time to make use of my revolving bookshelf and secret safe-room.

I always wanted one of those...

I'm faced with an uncomfortable dilemma. The bottles of nic/PG in the freezer are making it difficult to store ice cream. The frozen vegetables are going to have to go....

I am considering a small chest freezer for this very reason, AgentAnia.

You got me to thinking! Here's a smaller one that has a locking door, which might be a consideration if there are small children in the house. (This site has other models too. Check it out.)

If the FDA tries to regulate Nicotine
in an attempt to satisfy their Big Phara employers ...
I suggest the suppliers in the black-market will
be making a ton of money.

As a vaper, I know I will not be going back to cigarettes if I can help, regardless of any ridiculous laws or regulations. Look what happened with prohibition? Not only was it ineffective, the juice (liquor) flowed more freely than ever before. The black market thrived, people become rich, gangsters had a veritable field day!

 

[BlueMoods]

Already stockpiled. I am a DIYer so, I don't mind having my stock in the freezer and a cabinet full of flavorings. But then I stockpile other things that are not banned YET but are facing more and more stringent regulation too and, I stockpile non perishable foods.

We live in the boonies and, it isn't unusual for a storm to lock us in here for a week or longer and, the power to be off for as long a s 2 weeks so, yes I stockpile anything I need daily and, do it in a way that will let me keep on having it when all I have is generator power.

Per the late, great George Carlin, "we have no bill of rights, we have temporary privileges". Thank goodness technology has enabled us to continue to laugh with him.

Many used to laugh at George calling him a "Conspiracy Theorist"
Today ... many are quoting him !!

I guess I'd set up a lab in my garage and make my own liquid. Tobacco grows like a weed in my greenhouse...

 

[mirth]

if they banned ecigs I would end up back on analogs, I enjoy vaping because its a low risk alternative to smoking, but I'm not going to break any laws just to vape.
