Well, I’m not the best of writers but I’m giving this a go. Hope it makes sense.
From where I sit, I think the PV will become more problematic in the legal and personal use since.
Sure, if I had my choice, I’d rather of had some company from Canada, UK, or the U.S. invent them, but it was China. But even with their bad reputation, since they want to market to the rest of the world, they will at least try to follow guidelines. The FDA could make sure they do, but instead, with a ban, they will turn a lot of people into Do It Yourselfers.
First, the PV has its unknowns. But at the moment, most people buy them instead of MIY. I’m one who would never have gone down that road under normal circumstances. The threat of the FDA banning forced me to. Don’t get me wrong, I’m very happy with my accomplishment and my NicoSticks, but there is more chance of human error or just getting carried away.
___ I could become another Tim Taylor from Home Improvement and boast the power so much that it will turn the PG or VG in acrolein.
___I could use unprotected batteries that would blow up in my face and mar me for life.
___Many will be forced to find other means to obtain their nicotine and most of these ways will have no safeguards to them at all.
___Someone from here already has figured out how to make a working atomizer. More will follow and none of them will be regulated for the heat it will put out which, again, could result in turning PG or VG into a dangerous chemical.
My point of view, the FDA will put more people in harms way than they THINK they are protecting.

Legally this could turn into a fiasco. As it’s been said, the cat is out of the bag and it isn’t going to be easy getting it back in.
It’s like way back when when they declared recreational drugs illegal. Over the next few years it escalated into the War Against Drugs, and it’s a war we are losing and most of the victims ARE OUR CHILDREN.
Have you ever heard of a War Against Alcohol? Of course not and that’s because it’s remained legal since the prohibition and government has retained some kind of control over it.
(((Let me stray for a moment. Yes, you may think there is a difference between drugs and alcohol: But from my angle, even if I don’t want to legitimize drugs, don’t see a lot since I grew up with an alcoholic father. I was very fortunate not to be born with the gene but six out of nine of us kids were and those six all have a drinking problem.
And, I have to add, I actually use a drop or two of vodka in my homemade juice.)))
Anyway, back on topic. Drugs are an illegal substance and eliminating it from our world has failed miserably. In fact there will never be an all out victory.
Government is just setting up another failure nightmare with the PV. Banning its production and/or banning it from being sold will not put an end to the PV because:
Each component (battery, atomizer, liquid), is a MIY and none of these items by themselves is illegal.
Possessing the PV is not illegal.
Using the PV is not illegal.
.
Of course there is those who will try and succeed often enough to keep themselves supplied from suppliers in China or wherever. Yes, they will break the law but what is the government going to do to their citizens? Put everyone in jail. I can see the reaction now with the headlines. HARDEN CRIMIMALS FREED TO MAKE ROOM FOR THE VAPORERS.
.
Myself. I’m keeping my fingers crossed that my last shipment makes it through. Once it gets here, unless I run into a bad run with atomizer failures, I’m set for years. Still, I’m hanging around here and the new group to fight any ban and to learn more about making my own atomizers. I’m determined that my government isn’t going to kill me.
