Being new to vaping and enjoying the experience of being mostly cigarette free, I've read through the forums here and am curious as to what the "electronic cigarette" ban would actually amount to.
Firstly there are the state-specific bans on e-cigs, which do not seem to be making much of a dent, and God bless Libertarian, like Arnold Schwartzenegger, who whatever his flaws may be, is at least honest enough to just say that grownups have the right to put whatever they want into their bodies, and didn't allow the proposed e-cig ban in California to pass.
Then there is some kind of larger federal attempt to ban e-cigs, which to my understanding is not yet in effect (in September)?
So... what does that actually mean? It's not like the FDA can ban batteries, or atomizers, that falls outside their jurisdiction (what if I want to atomize herbal armotherapy scents, which is how Volcano has managed to avoid a lot of bans regarding their vaporizers for ........). I would think that little plastic carts with pieces of foam in them also do not constitute a "drug" the FDA can control, it's not a molecule you are introducing into your body, it's some shaped plastic and foam.
Which leaves what exactly, controlling nicotine supplies and banning "smoke juice" and any product which is fully assembled and claims to be an "electronic cigarette"
Is this more or less correct?
What's the best way to stockpile/store nicotine/smoke juice, so make it last the longest, before having to switch over to the black market, which I guess amounts to the same thing as every other "banned" drug: it's just as available as it ever was, but more expensive.
I've read the threads here and there is a lot of conflicting information ranging from, "store it in the fridge," "store it in a 'cool dry place like your basement'," over to "just throw it in a drawer, I keep mine baking on the car seat during summer days and it works just fine!" Is there any real consensus/scientific input regarding this on the forums, which I'm not finding?
As always, thanks for your time.
