Question

[John2006]

If vaping (and all the costs associated with it) were regulated by big brother to the point where it equaled/exceeded the cost of analogs, would you A) Go back to analogs , B) Continue vaping, or C) Neither, and quit both. ?

OK. could someone please explain to this dumb newby, whats the difference between Analog, and vaping?

Thank you in advance for the information

Hi John2006, welcome to the forums.

People on these forums use the word analog to mean a regular cigarette.

Maybe it's not the right term, but I think we like to differentiate between smoking and vaping and so we call smoking regular cigarettes analogs (or analogues) as opposed to having a vape.

^^^^

Also, if prices skyrocketed due to taxes and whatnot (courtesy of our friends in washington DC) I would prob quit vaping, and not go back to analogs. Not worth it to spend the money to kill yourself.

B) Continue vaping. However, I would stock up (even more) on ALL supplies (especially nicotine) before the regulations were in place, slowly reduce my consumption and eventually quit completely when my supplies ran out (which would be many years if I plan it right).

Go DIY on all juices and be fine considering I have enough mechs to last and an ever building stock of nicotine which I would just slowly weed myself from. This being said:

Big brother has several other things they could/should be regulating more such as BIG business vs worrying about vaping so much. It would yield greater results but then again the tobacco industry is influencing these types of things and undoubtedly still has people in offices bought and paid for . Then again this tends to be the status quo within this corporation highly influenced country.

I would continue vaping. There is no way in h*ll I'll go back to smoking analogs. I just enjoy vaping too much to give it up.

Continue vaping. Stock up on cartos and atties. Get into Rebuildable atties. The FDA can't touch silica,cotton,kanthal etc. and learn DIY and stock up on nic, VG,pg and flavoring, although the FDA can't touch VG,pg because they are all FDA approved. Buy mechanical mods. They'll last longer.

Swap the word 'country' for 'world' and i'd agree. You just have to look at how the tobacco industry was banned from advertising in the US / UK / part of Europe and they just moved over to China and concentrated there and now they have a bigger market than they ever had with you and I.

As for what i would do, i would hope to stop completely, or if possible, stock up with as much of the necessary hardware and juice as i needed to last me a good while so i could wean off slowly. The problem there is that everyone is going to have the same idea and places will be sold out as the time draws closer. As e-liquid is given an expiry date (I believe the main factor in this is because of the nicotine) how long can you reasonably expect it to last though?

Nic in the freezer can last years if stored properly.

Cheers for the info... could come in handy

 

[nmackan]

No way. I can build an e-cig from nothing after 6 months. Also no one can ban pg and vg also Nicotine is found in different forms. They can do whatever they please to, even ban e-cig
what is more e-cigarettes are forbidden in my country

 

[bueno1955]

Could NEVER go back to analogs!!!!!! would have to stock up on supplies or quit vaping

 

[Yerf Dog]

I can rebuild coils already. I'm sure I can start making my own vaping juices.

Can't go back to cigs.

 

[memyselfini]

Analogues will never be an option in my future.

 

[SallyMaria]

Like most others, I'd stock up and wait for the dust to settle I can't see WHY they would pass laws legalizing weed, and crack down on vaping. I AM concerned about kids getting hooked on nicotine - even though it's relatively harmless. I think it's an issue that needs to be addressed - because they could vape their way to cigarettes.

 

[Steve803]

I already DIY my juice and rebuild my atty's. stocking up on nic base would be the thing to do and get a battery system that looked like a flashlight.
I'm sure the blackmarket will take off as it does whenever a gov tries to control something everybody wants. Besides what to do you tell a murderer in jail when you get busted for selling vaping supplies? I was pushing a healthy alternative to tobacco.

Simple answer is no.

Kid, what are you in for.
Vaping. And they all moved away from me.

Anyone else old enough to remember Alice's Restaurant?

 

[LuanaS]

I would keep vaping.

 

[Bob Chill]

I will quit when I decide to. I can afford the habit/hobby even with BG/BT in the mix. I spent $2,400/yr on cigarettes anyways.

Hardware is the least of our worries. There are too many challenges to regulate it. It's not even worth the effort. Nic is the choke and everyone knows it. Everything else will be widely available for a myriad of reasons. There are ways to protect your liberty and freedom at least for 5 years even if bottled juice vanishes from websites and counter tops.
