vaping is for sure about to become more expensive than smoking in the very near future
However, I am prepared for anything ... even, a total ban on everything.
I don't have to buy anything, other than flashlight batteries
It won't get more expensive than smoking, for me. there's nothing I buy, on a regular basis, that would be subject to whatever regulations come down.
Nevertheless, I'll continue to vape.

Vaping cannot become more expensive for me for at least the next five years. I'm all stocked up and self sufficient.
I would probably continue vaping. I am lucky though, here in my country the politicians are not paying any attention to vaping yet and I don't see it changing in the near future.
think Ill open up a Blackmarket venue and get rich... 
If vaping becomes too expensive or too much trouble I would just quit. I don't NEED to vape or smoke anymore.
I'd stick with it for a few more months. My next ZampleBox is 6mg/ml and should be around 90 ml in the box. I have a a good two month supply or so between some 18 and 12 mg liquids and a few mls of 36 mg unflavored....
Depends on the day, I go between 2 and 4 ml a day.... A year ago was stepping down to 24 mg from 36, went to 18 mg this Feb and April went down to 12mg.
If it got just as expensive, or more, to vape, I'd stick with it as I'd be down to 0 within 6 months or so, and I'm vaping alot less now than when I started two years ago. But, then again, I didn't start vaping to quit smoking, I started because it was cheaper, way cheaper.... Not including equipment, which I rarely buy anymore, I spend maybe $15 a month.... That would get me three days on my smoking habit two years ago.
Which reminds me, tomorrow is 2 years exactly....

I have so much gear and spare parts, I could get by for the rest of my life. I have quite a few mechs just in case, and have been accumulating more now that prices have become very attractive.
Next stop is stockpiling nic base.

I have enough nic base in my freezer to hold me for years. The only renewable things I need to buy are wire, batteries, cotton, VG, and PG, all of which have other uses, outside of vaping, and won't be regulated.
When I Switched, I told myself that even if Vaping became as expensive as Smoking, I Didn't Care. Because I saw Immediate Improvements to my Breathing and Overall Heath.
I didn't Switch to e-Cigarettes to save Money. Although that was a Nice Bonus. I Switched because Smoking was Killing Me by degrees.
"An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure", a quotable idiom from the great Benjamin Franklin.
A retired engineer, I've spent the past three years preparing for the day our beloved government causes your hypothetical scenario to become reality, and that day IS coming. Although I suspect we are still years away from the coming tax/regulatory "apocalypse" I'm already self sufficient and well insolated from any potential impact. I'll still be vaping for pennies while most everyone else is handing over hard earned (and already taxed), "Benjamin Franklins" each month to enjoy the same experience.

DITTO! I'll vape no matter what. And vaping is more expensive, at least with me, because of shinyitis. I just dropped about $200 on a new TC mod, an IPV 4, tanks, coils and juice for subohoming. Not to mention my credit card limit got increased
Not an issue as I spend more already than I have to.

If nicotine becomes too expensive to vape, it will push the users towards vaping other substances.
If regulated mods become too expensive or hard to get, the users will be pushed towards mech mods
If replacement coil heads become too expensive, users will be pushed towards rebuildables.
If 18650 IMR batteries become too expensive, users will be pushed towards lipos from other applications, such as cellphone batteries.
