Seriously, do not hesitate to 'v-arm' yourselves, as some states' residents have recently learned the hard way. Regardless of all the info/propaganda available nowadays, go with your gut! Panic (?)... no just just follow the money (always) and prepare! We as citizens have been blindsided many times in my lifetime. First time, shame on 'you'; second time, shame on me.

BTW, it took me at least three times to learn that lesson.

Yes, at times in the past, I've been naive, but not so much any more!

I've never regretted being 'prepared' once I recognized all is not as 'it' seems regardless of the 'daily crisis'. In fact, some of my preps have been better investments than any commercial financial vehicle.
Yepper, I'm an ol' vaping fart...

Thats what worries me. I love TC and eventually these chips are liable to go TU then what. I don't even know what was around in 2007 I didn't start till 2009 and it was all crap then. I thought about getting 3 spare SXM's but man thats $550 but we gotta save the kids,ya right. How well did prohibition work. I'm sure cigarettes will still be around. I have enough flavoring to make 5000ml of each of my favorites. Need to get somemore Kanger parts,got lots of wire 200' nickel 60' Ti 60' NiFe48 200' Kanthal if I get desperate. A couple of friends in Canada and a couple in UK. One in Moscow. Need more nic man its like being a survivalist.
Even though I'm Provarinati I think they missed the mark with their new $200 mod with no TC. They should've gone with that mod and a DNA200 chip in my mind then it would be worth it. I'm sure they will sell a bunch but they would've sold more with one of the new TC chips.
Wait nic, wire and flavors were around before 2007 right? but not this wire. So many things to buy so little money sheesh.
When do they vote on this they can't get together on anything else but they probably will this. It's actually in now right they are just trying to push up the date?

I don't see how they can not sell the flavors, wire, etc cuz those are used for things other than vaping. We should still be able to get all that, but not nic. This is why I went to Reos. Nothing can break on it that I can't fix, will still be able to get batts, wire etc I need to stock up on nic still and get a couple more attys and I'll be totally set.

I expect it to bad Patrick ... it's still speculation on how bad. And once this hits it'll likely open the way for the feds and states to tax the bejeezas out of what remains on the market.

Cripe - in the EU countries I've read starting in 2016 you won't be able to buy a VV or VW mod - only e-cigs that put out the same 'power' on each puff ... and who specifies the power limit? Also only toppers that are totally sealed against leaks and re-filling w/ a max capacity of 2 ml.

I haven't heard much speculation on the effect of ordering directly from China, like from Fasttech or someplace. Will the also put import restriction in place? Don't know. If they don't then, lordy, the Chinese will surely control the majority of sales cutting out the US re-sellers altogether.

I don't know Deb ... there's wording indicting if something is being sold w/ the intend of being used for vaping (flavors or stuff like wire and batts) it comes under their deeming act to control. Don't know how they would control that when buying from a vendor that also supplies flavoring for other than vaping.

yeah I'm sure it would affect vape stores, they would essentially be out of business. But I don't see how it could affect a place like Temco for getting wire, at least kanthal. Don't imagine we'd be able to get batts from places like RTD, unless they "went out of business" (vape wise) and just became a non vape vendor selling batts and stuff, but they can't keep us from buying 18650 batts from other places like illum.com Didn't they sell them for flashlights long before vaping? Which is one more reason I have no interest in temp control etc.

Yeah but what remains Mike? Cigarettes is all I can think of. I really don't remember any vaping products before 2007

TC will still be there and will still keep getting better there are tons of people in every other country in the world using it.

We will all survive, but I fear for the new vapers and those that don't know, and current smokers that don't stand a chance in (the hot place) of finally quitting. I know I couldn't quit till I found vaping. I am confident now, but when I started? If this crap happened I would probably still be killing myself. It just seems so unfair, they can allow all these drugs with side effecrs that kill and stuff like smoking and the recently legalized in some areas smoke but they want to kill our vaping. And we all know it's about lining the pockets, not saving lives. Population control? There has to be a better way.

Considering I get my flavors on the baking aisle at wal mart, thats not a problem, and when my wire runs out in about 10 years, ill get some from my electrician family members, got a couple of years worth of nic left, but I plan on dropping my level soon, maybe to 0, so no prob there, got plenty of mech mods, pg and vg are no problem, I got 2 kayfuns and multiple spare parts, and im damn resourceful, I aint skeerd.

It's really a shame too because they are finally getting the chips to work right and the wire NiFe48 the real stuff from Germany everyone that tries it is changing over to it. Supposed to be just like Kanthal in the fact you wrap a microcoil, dry burn it but it has TC capabilities. It will just be the good old USA going back to cigarettes.

Been vaping on the same 4 T3S's for 6 months or so. Have 6 more. Order 10 more and I will be set for the rest of my life. Have about 20 Evods...
I have about 20 extra coils and rebuild them. Have enough wire for several years and cotton too.
I have only used about 125 ml of nic since I started in January so a litre should do me well. I still have 1 litre - 125ml ml in the freezer....
Need a couple of decent clone mech mods I suppose.

I see a business opportunity if they ban sales of the newer vape gear..
Mod repair....
