When should the US Attorney General's office become involved?
Capabilities make no difference. Top notch clean labs make no difference. Nothing about this law has anything to do with safety, security, children, nor any other babble that comes out of a politician's mouth.
That's correct penny. The vape shops can sell juice if they buy it from the 6 permit holders but those 6 permit holders are in cahoots with the security company if I understand correctly so they are the enemy. So if you buy their juice the monopoly will continue. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. I won't buy any juice from any Indiana vape shop after July 1st. Luckily for me I make my own.
July 1st will be a sad day. My local vape shop will be shutting down. They are good people, very generous with freebies and help. Excellent customer service. They will be missed.![]()
Angi- Cravin' Vapes is one of the six and will be selling their juices in vape shops. I'm not sure what labels the rest of the liquid producing 6 are using. From what I understand and someone please correct me if I'm wrong our local shops can have their own liquids produced and bottled by these producers. This is what I was told at my local, that their best liquids will still be available.
If you're like me and order online though you'll need to get to hoppin'. Some online places are already stopping sales to Indiana. I've got relatives out of state who can purchase online for me then mail my order to me so that's always an option to keep in mind. My very ...... off vaping sister in another state will gladly flip the bird to Indiana for me.
@tmcase - you from 'round these parts?
Yes, west central IN.
Your Avi is misleading - there's little scenery near that pretty in Indiana![]()

I don't think mixing eliquid needs ISO clean rooms any more than my local bar needs one to mix me a gin & tonic.I have always said and believe ISO certified clean rooms are nothing more
than clever marketing on the part of vendors and a expensive impediment
on the part of regulators. Having said that I watched a video of some vendors
new ISO level 8 certified mixing lab. I was impressed to say the least.
Then I realized all the glass,filtering,gloves,masks and hairnets were more
for the protection of all that bright new shiny stainless steel automated mixing
and bottling equipment than to protect the workers or the product. I am
willing to concede that in a large volume automated factory a ISO environment
may be a good investment but not for the reasons we would assume. Surely
there is no requirement or scientifically valid reason from a sanitation point
of view for them to be mandatory for an operation that chooses to be more
labor intensive or to small to invest in such extravagance.

There you go. 10-4. Affirmative. Roger dodger. Understood.I don't think mixing eliquid needs ISO clean rooms any more than my local bar needs one to mix me a gin & tonic.
When I come visit in about a month, I will bring my own supplies and pray I don't run into the juice police. Anyone know if police dogs can sniff out eliquid?
I grew up in Indiana and my parents still live there, so I have been following this topic. What they did is like saying there's only going to be six restaurants producing food in the whole state. Two of those have never cooked or served a meal before, so no one knows if they are good or not. Their lack of consideration for what the public wants in unbelievable!

Good idea. I'll keep my Ohio driver's license on me at all times. Do you think it's too soon to start "juice running"? It could pay for our gas to the wonderful state of Indiana!Me too - grew up in Indiana, parents still live there and will be visiting in about
a month. I will be driving and have full identification on me at all times so if
asked I can prove I'm not a resident and can vape whatever the heck juice
I want! I say that sorta tongue in cheek, as the police chief of my parent's town
lives two doors down and I'll be doing most of my vaping on parents' front porch.![]()

Democratic gubernatorial candidate John Gregg said, if elected, he would seek to change new laws governing the e-cigarette liquid industry, which some vaping retailers and manufacturers have called monopolistic and corrupt.
The police have no enforcement powers under this law. ATC agents are the sole enforcement body. (sometimes called excise police).
Frickin votes might be at stake suddenly and more than just those useless Vaping scum...
