Maybe if you live in Ocala, Fl you might be ok in the short term, but for those of us that live in socialist states (I'm in NY) are accustomed to having the rug pulled out from under us.
I couldn't give a hoot about having the latest and greatest, in fact my 'hoarding' purchases are what many would consider to be outdated - mechanical mods and Kayfun tanks.
It's stuff I would have bought anyway, especially the nicotine, I'm just buying it all sooner than I would have.
Thing is, apart from a short term financial burden, I'm not inconveniencing myself by stocking up.
If (as I suspect) bulk nicotine becomes unavailable to regular folk or is heavily taxed, I stand to save myself a LOT of hassle and/or money.
If it doesn't, then it just means I won't have to buy nicotine, which is also good.
It comes down to this: what is the worst possible outcome of being wrong?
If I'm wrong, then the worst possible outcome is that some new technology could come out before August 8th make my current stash obsolete (not unusable mind you, just obsolete).
If you're wrong, you could end up being stuck with cigalikes or paying significantly more for your gear/juice.
Buying everything I need (except PG, VG, wire, cotton) has cost me around $250, and would not go to waste even if the deeming regs completely disappeared.
Cheap insurance indeed.
