I've got the San Diego and Tijuana areas.
My wife speaks spanish so we have that covered.

She's also a lawyer, and a Navy Seal.
Or not. Well, not a Navy Seal.

Yeah, she's Army Special Forces. Yeah, that's the ticket.

I know you all don't see this as a threat to your future business models, but some day...
Most illegal nicotine will be flowing through Tijuana.

And you'll all be giving me a percentage, or I'll shut you out.
Bwah ha ha ha ha!!

That gives me hope, I'm in Mexico visiting 2 or 3 times a month. I'm surprised the TJ pharmacies haven't already picked up on this ...

For anyone who has not visited Tijuana, in the tourist area along Revolution, just about every other shop is a pharmacy, selling all kinds of stuff over the counter that you can't get in the US without a prescription and a wad of money. The Mexican pharmacists are resourceful and some are very skillful chemists, making nic juices would be child's play for them ...

We already know that other "goods" flow freely across the border day and night, despite the $18 billion spent last year alone on preventing this. If the US chooses to "ban" or even restrict and overtax nicotine supplies, they will only achieve what has already been done before, creating a black market. People will not be denied ...

A good alternative for those of us in SoCal ...

looks like vaping is going down hill and everyone is hopping on the band wagon to start banning stuff. want my advice? quit. get off nicotine all together. I haven't touched a cig in over 1.5 years and havent vaped in just over a 2 months. as matter of fact selling all my vape gear in calsifieds. don't get caught with your pants down. this vaping thing isnt going to last forever. by the looks of it, it doesnt look like its going to last much longer. the last thing you want is to go back to cigs wants all vendors get shut down. it will happen sooner then later. stop while you can now. good luck all.

see you on the other side.
... so let me get this , you haven't vaped in 2 months but you came back to the forums to announce the end of the world? there is something else to this story

Vaping going to the dumps? Think that's what we call vooping.

Seriously tho, I think the current state of affairs is that the ANTZ can't get e-cigs banned as it is now. So, they try to make it as unattractive as possible by trying to ban flavoring, etc. Well... food flavoring won't be banned anytime soon anyway. Might make it harder for people to pick up a disposable and find it to their liking if it's unflavored, tho.

I think it's a big scare to make people question the switch to vaping as an alternative to smoking. "Why change to something that will get banned?", while truth is (as I see it) the more people who pick up vaping, the more likely it is it won't ever get banned.

I agree with you. Also, they're trying to scare current vapers so they can increase their "statistics" when they quote vaping doesn't help you quit cigarette smoking.:)

I am not sure, but I think nic juice is already illegal in Mexico. I know it's illegal to sell ecigs although some do it anyway (of course) but they are expensive.

I think the PACE act closed over 4,000 b&m's that were selling RYO supplies.

That gives me hope, I'm in Mexico visiting 2 or 3 times a month. I'm surprised the TJ pharmacies haven't already picked up on this ...
