Full mech mods .......check
batteries ......... they can't ban those.
RBAs .......check
Kanthal and ss mesh ..... can't ban those.
Flavorings ......... can't ban those because they are used for many other things.
Nic base ......... large order coming on Monday. Glass bottles to store product in freezer which should last for years.
PG/VG ....... can't ban those.

I'm good for about five years on nic base so by then I should be able to ween myself off nic. I'm down to 6mg now. They can't touch me!;)

It's unfortunate for the people that haven't yet discovered vaping and die in the process.

personally i dont trust government or large business like big tobacco,if they are loosing money because of something new you can believe they will find a way to regulate it and make money off it...just the way it is. personally i enjoy vaping to much to let them stop me so i have stocked up i have a few hundred carto's and attys and bought a few RBA's and a couple gallons of unflavored nic with a ton of flavoring.

i dont think they will try to outright ban vaping i dont think they would be able to, company's would just sell the equipment under another name like "water vaporizer" and sell no nic juice and people could just get there nic from other tobacco products to use in it,so they just want to make money from it instead to make up from the lack of sales of analogs and other smokeless tobacco products.

i think its likely there will be a few months minimum when we will be unable to acquire e-liquid at least here in the states while they figure out how to regulate and tax it and get the juice company's all set up with the new procedures.

???? So something is going to happen to the E-cig and juce sooner or later which will with out a doubt put a holt on us getting juice etc so what's everyone's thoughts????

Should we be preparing for E day ??,
or do we think its a long way of yet??

I know here in the uk they are not looking to ban but regulate or the NHS will be the only ones who can administrate them etc either way I'm maybe thinking I should be buying juice now in bigger quantitys and battery etc. ..any thoughts guys???
Worry about your nasty habit first. plenty of time for politics and petty worry's that get in the way of living our lives well.no jury in the free world would ever agree to condemning lifetime smokers to returning to the stinkers. and our greatest weapon still lies in the court system.this is how we will win in state and federal municipalities. and how we attack the insurance industry to allow the use of nicotine and still classify us as non smokers. i am weaning myself off nicotine myself. and hope to be smoke and nicotine free in the next 2 months. keeping my electronic girlfriend close for the times i feel i want to get back into the trap of tobacco slavery. still your only priority should be yourself. and your health.

yea i would classify them as a hate group myself they are very misinformed(probably on purpose thinking it will help there cause) they even call ecigs "illegal" even considering they are and have always been totally legal.

The hysteria has already negatively impacted me as a vaper, stuff I used to be able to order and get in a week I now have to wait 3-4 weeks for....or longer.

Historically, these kinds of frenzies and apocalypses NEVER have a positive effect. NEVER. (Y2K, Mayan Calendar, Germanic flood, 2012 frenzy, Halley's Comet, Planet aligning (jupiter effect), man-made black holes, witch trials, etc. ) Nor does prohibition, which historically created massive revenue streams for organized crime. There are even really stupid people around where I live selling off land to buy guns.

Some people are making enormous amount of money working up fragile human beings into a frenzy and for some it will morph into an obsession.

In previous incarnations, I just watched others building concrete bunkers, etc. and just got on with my life, because the entirety of my future is not dependent on any one thing succeeding or failing. As long as I still have eyes, I can go out and watch a relaxing sunset. With hands and arms intact, take a cooking class.

When you elevate one idea so much that it creates the future, then what you have is a new form of mythology, not a rational method of thinking. People create the future. They create gadgets, workarounds, etc. I'm not a bit worried.

P.S. Make sure you also purchase an electric or propane GENERATOR. Cuz that nic in your freezer, during a power outage, isn't going to stay frozen. And your batts won't charge even on a mechanical mod.

In other words, there is always something MORE to buy--------when you're panicking.

Hard to say over here. So many thing happening all at once in the "former land of the free"...

Regardless, prices are still low now. They won't be as soon as the FDA comes out with their say.

Since I refuse to go back to smoking (36 years, last 4 smoking 2 packs a day of Swisher Sweet little cigars like cigarettes..), nor do I intend to let the wife go back, I'm prepared. It's not like I've wasted my money, everything I have learned and bought will last me years. And what I have bought cost me less than a quarter of a years worth of cigarettes for both of us. It will be used, and enjoyed, no matter what new rules and regs are put in front of us.

got that covered too....the liquids will last about two years without freezing and the battery's are easily charged with solar energy:)
if i knew someone with a concrete bunker i would probably be budding up with him/her:)

Spoken like a true newbie. You have no idea how close a nationwide ban was in 2009. 1000's of us had items we purchased confiscated and lost our money. They are moving to regulate it in a manner that will be close to a ban if they can figure out a way to do it legally. All they have to do is make nicotine a controlled substance that can't be easily obtained. Then reguire 10 years of reseach and study and limit products to Big Pharm with 2 & 4mg nicotine limits and no flavoring and vaping business's will die quickly. We will then be turned into Black Market users who will be taking bigger and bigger financial risks.

I don't know for sure that will happen but if the many groups aligned against vaping can provide a strong enough front to the FDA, it could happen because groups like ASH (US) want to kill vaping completely. Way too many people on ECF alone take vaping for granted. How many join and support CASAA?? A very small percentage, unfortunately.

just signed up.. add one more :)
