It's 2028, what does vaping look like?

[IgnorantCig]

In 10 years time from now, what will vaping look like?

Will there be 1000 watt mods that are tiny and people will be walking around blowing ridiculous clouds that would put all of today's most extreme cloud chasers to shame?

Will it go in the opposite direction and will there be vapes that do not produce any clouds at all?

Will it be all trendy and will there be vapes that make different colored clouds when you exhale?

Will something completely new that doesn't yet exist have taken over by then? Much like the patch existed before vaping, but now that vaping exists, who would want to bother with the patch, if vaping is better and more effective? Perhaps something new will come along eventually that will be different than vaping and replace it?

All I know is that the vapes 10 years from now won't be like the ones we have today I think.

... under the cover of night you enter a dark alley, hugging the shadows. You take your vape out of your pocket, some electronics you taped together topped with an old atty, and take a deep draw, holding the vapor in as long as possible. But you're out of luck, an FDA compliance drone flies by and spots you. You start to run, trying to escape, the drone has no problems following you. You must have taken a wrong turn, you ran into a dead end.
A tear rolls down your cheeks right before the drone liquidates you on the spot.

-the end

If it goes the way the govt wants it to, we'll have some great movies to look forward to. Like:
Boyz in the B&M.....starring Tupac
Juice'd.... Starring lil Wayne
Murder on the Oriental Express...starring Fasttech

You just got caught vaping with Shai Labeouf.

Don't forget "Vaping Bad", think that'll be a hit.

I know how to build a mod.ten years form now I will have learned how to make a attie and extract nic from cigarettes.we all know cigs will still be around.

 

[untar]

extract nic from cigarettes.we all know cigs will still be around.

They won't have any significant amount of nic though
You need to grow you own high nic yield tobacco (or buy cigars/pipe tobacco if they weren't neutered by then).

 

[bsidb]

we will all have a plot in the community green house to grow our own nicotine plants

 

[alvitae]

I have been wondering how hard it would be to extract nic. I know you can buy tobacco seeds on eBay for dirt cheap. And it's supposed to be easy to grow.

 

[Bunnykiller]

either we will be wearing Darth Vader Helmets or it will look the same as it does now...

 

[Asbestos4004]

I hope I can just push a button on my personal controller built into my forearm. The vape button will be right next to my French fries and milkshake button .

 

[untar]

how hard it would be to extract nic

Chemically speaking it's not too hard (most commonly steps involve organic solvents + caustic soda + some acid), but I'm not sure it's a very good idea. Getting pure nicotine powder sounds rather dangerous and would need special precautions and care.

It's exactly what good regulation would deter people from doing, offering a legal alternative that's easy to handle and far less risky.

 

[Rossum]

I have no clue what the market for new vape goods will look like then.

Personally, I expect to be vaping the same mechanical squonkers and atties that have kept me from smoking for most of the last four years.

 

[alvitae]

Good regulations... Yeah, I'm not a fan of some fat politician telling me what I can and can't do with myself and my property.

I won't be paying those regulations much mind.

I have been wondering how hard it would be to extract nic.

Open freezer. Remove bottle. Allow bottle to come to ambient temperature before opening.

Pure nicotine is a liquid. Melting point: -79°C

 

[untar]

Pure nicotine is a liquid

Using the extraction method I mentioned you'd get a crystalline powder. Yes pure nicotine is an oily substance but you'd have to refine the powder to extract that. Nevertheless the powder is hazardous.

 

[Rossum]

Using the extraction method I mentioned you'd get a crystalline powder.

Then it would be some nicotine compound, which I doubt is suitable for vaping.

Yes pure nicotine is an oily substance

I'm curious why you call it "oily"? The viscosity is quite low, even at freezer temperatures.

I'll be happy if it doesn't really end up looking like Al Capone's secret vault when it was opened on live TV.
