Fully regulated by a new and sep sub-dept (as it's not tab you know), GMO seeded, Brawndo irrigated, 10k chem's in it and the patents owned by the CDC. Soma-likeit.
Good luck.

Get it right, it’s Weedies!If you can still remember vaping exists after eating your Weedabix™ breakfast
It'll look like I'm sucking my thumb, until I exhale and then it won't look like anything because you won't be able to see anything within a 3 meter radius.
Or on the flip side, nicotine might be outlawed, and you'll only be able to find Untars powdered nic for 80 a g. They'll call it "Nicscale", and smuggle it from the Carolinas. Then comes the rise of notorious Nick Cigobar

we've just passed the first 10 years of vaping to bring us to today ... where will we be after 20 years of vaping?
Pods will be perfected as tamperproof and nicotine base will only be available to companies regulated to produce these tamperproof pods.
There will be no eLiquid outside of what is in a pod ... surviving Vape shops will become Smoke/Pod Vaping shops.
Pod vaping will cost more than smoking and will be marketed as a healthier alternative.
BT, BP and BG will be laughing all the way to the bank.
Me? ... I'll still be vaping this

So depressing! But, you're right, that's how they want it!we've just passed the first 10 years of vaping to bring us to today ... where will we be after 20 years of vaping?

I wish people would stop posting that video. The boiling point of water is 100°C, whereas the boiling point of nicotine is over 250°C. Thus it's simply not possible to distill nicotine from an aqueous mixture of stuff.
There will be a multi-contact 510 connector, to allow ancillary devices built into the clearomiser, to be controlled by the controller in the mod.
One contact will be for the NTC resistor monitoring coil temperature.
Another contact is for monitoring liquid level.
More contact will be for the liquid injector, as future clearos will not rely anymore on the capillarity of the wick.
Another contact will feed an auxiliary air pump, so one will not have to suck so hard.
LiFePO4 batteries, with 20 - 30 years lifetime, will be standard.
Mods/clearos will conform for real to CE / FCC standards, will have one or two years of warranty, and therefore will be sold in department stores.

A multi-contact connector is a distinct possibility, but I'd expect it to be proprietary, not an industry standard like the 510 we currently use. Moreover, I don't think it's practical to implement multiple contacts on anything resembling the existing 510.

Ya, OK, I'm game.......
In the year 2028 I'll be lurking in the threads of ECF but no longer posting. A popular thread will discuss in detail BP's newest 4 watt $249.99 plastic pod mod (prescription required) and how costs have come tumbling down this past year. At the local pharmacy a three pack of 0.5ml, 2mg sealed refill pods can be had for under $70 and tobacco flavor #VII is to die for, much better than tobacco flavor #V or #VI. One poster complains that his new Pfizer mod (the "Sucker") was DOA and to get a warranty replacement cost him $159 for Pfizer's special "shipping/handling" fees and an additional $30 hazmat charge through the ANPS (Amazon National Postal Service) owned by the Trump empire. Still, the mood on ECF is upbeat with people routinely posting that spending $800 a month to vape is far cheaper than what smoking zero nicotine cigarettes would cost. In the dark fringes of ECF's sub-forums people will detail how, using a simple syringe, they were able to mix tobacco flavor #II with Tobacco flavors #III and #IV to get a better tasting vape. Unfortunately, discussion or mention of any other flavor besides "tobacco" or "unflavored" is strictly prohibited since flavored juice is illegal.
I no longer post on ECF because back in 2023 the FDA designated nicotine as a schedule II controlled substance requiring a prescription and made possessing any form nicotine above 3mg strength a federal felony. With what's in my freezer the FDA's actions turned me into a criminal so I try to keep a low profile. With the amount of nic I have on hand an automatic "intent to distribute" conspiracy charge which carries a mandatory 30 year sentence would be filed. Non FDA approved gear (mods, attys, drip tips etc..) have been legally deemed drug paraphernalia and possession is considered hard evidence of nicotine law violations all but guaranteeing a conviction. High quality 100mg liquid nic is worth $60 per ml on the black market and the number of people in prison for vaping related offenses reaches new highs. The FDA touts that it's tough nicotine laws have succeeded because not a single child has died from a vaping overdose.
Like a scene from "Breaking Bad", I quietly open a cleverly concealed door leading down to my hidden basement and prepare to mix another batch of "flavored" juice using the liquid nic I was wise enough to stockpile a decade earlier. In case I'm ever "discovered" I've intentionally mislabeled each bottle of stored nic "Wacky Baccy" hoping to fool the DEA into believing the contents are a perfectly legal substance instead of villainous nicotine, a schedule II controlled drug. I've strategically placed alligator clips, colored glass pipes, peace signs, ZigZag papers, AC/DC albums, Cheech and Chong posters and empty junk food wrappers throughout the basement to further enhance the deception. Still, I worry that the amount of traffic at my residence with all the 60+ year old ex-smokers just "hanging out" will trigger suspicion that I'm running a nic house. I've even asked all my friends to stop calling me "Nic Daddy" in public, it's a dead giveaway. At 90 years old the anxiety of being a wild desperado is starting taking a toll on me, my blinged out gold plated walker is feeling mighty heavy these days. I often contemplate selling most of my nic on the black market and moving to a non-extradition "free" country (like Wakanda) where I could simply enjoy being a carefree multi-millionaire.
Ahhh, sorta like the car companies huh? Driver-less vapes, yeah.
What could possibly go wrong?
Sounds like fun dunnit?
Good luck.
Multiple contacts are doable. E.g.: Look at a workstation or server CPU. Lots of signals and lots of current flow between them and the sockets they're in.
But when it comes to vapes, I'll let someone else have that fun and just stick with what's worked to keep me off cigs for over four years now. All I need is a single current path and the ability to feed liquid through the center of it.

I have. I won't. But I'm only a network eng, what do I know? Anyway, it's not the hardware I mistrust (as a tech). It's what peeps do to/with it that's scary. And the more you hide it, the curiouser they get. Frightening.
[Now something transparently elegant and simple? The dustbin.]

Interesting. When I retired as a hardware/software engineer after 36 years I went to the local technical college and enrolled in their accelerated Cisco network engineer course. 2 years completed in 5 quarters with lots of instruction done through Cisco's online telecommute course at home. We only had to go into the classroom once or twice a week for lectures and hardware hands on projects. We also had internet teleconferences with the instructor about once a week to cover test material and various topics she wanted to impress upon us. It was an enjoyable training experience that left us all confident of our newly learned skills.
I wasn't sure retiring at 58 would stick, but I haven't had to work since.
