Sorry guys, but this is the environment we created. In my lifetime the one thing we have perfected is hypocrisy. We love telling other people what they should be doing. Everything is a debate and argument and the mob rules. From your choices between paper and plastic to how you should raise your kids and it backfired on us. I would love to be the President of the mind your own business club, but I'm a hypocrite too...

I admit that "Please 'trash' $50,000.00 worth of inventory immediately" is a hell of a business killer. (swag numbers)

I am sure there will be plenty of stock blowouts. Better to sell at cost or even less than throw it all away...

Edit: Or have one hell of a vape party on the last day.

Whelp, how many more lawyers to vape shops have to scrape up money for just to keep filing lawsuits to try to stay in business? It's not like the average vape store is making millions of dollars after expenses to keep up with the expense. Interesting the different media take on this. The NY Post, not exactly the bastion of accurate and objective reporting at least did write up this one.

Lives were saved by watermelon and strawberry,” said Spike Babain, a board member with the New York State Vapor Association, in between puffs of a peach flavored vape that’s kept her off cigarettes for over a decade.

I bought my first eGo from her in early 2013 in the lower Eastside, along with a Korean made top coil clearomizer called the "Cutie", for $65. Good clearo too. Better than the Vivi Nova! I was just walking by her tiny store which had opened up the week before, and stepped in out of curiosity. Didn't even know that vapes come in a form other than cigalikes, which I had been using for a couple of years. I was still a dual user, though. She was selling re-bottled DeKang juices in 10ml for $9.00. I haven't smoked a puff since. She is quite a character!

The easiest solution for me is to slowly tap my nic base reserve for the rest of my life, and continue to mix my own.. but new vapers and others who don't DIY are absolutely boned!
That is absolutely right they are in the Sh** not quite drowning but up to their necks, which is sad. A product that has saved many lives is banned because these Aholes know best What The. That idiot Cuomo actually agreed yes that Vaping was better than Smoking but followed it with 'So What'. The Family is originally from Sicily and he's acting like a true member of the New York Mafia.

New York City and New York state deserve what they get. They voted for it or by failing to vote tacitly approved what has been done. My sympathies are non-existent.
Can I get a Big Gulp cup of Coke in the city these days?
Kalifornia is the same way and getting worse.
