I figured it wouldn't be until 2018 when vape shops closed. I guess some are trying to cut their losses by closing earlier.
Yes, this is sad news.

Are you sure this particular shop closing is related to government regulations? Retail shops go in and out all the time for lots of reasons.
Don't know. According to Hoosier Vapers FB page, shops are closing due to State regulations, which take effect today, July 1.
Indiana retailers are pretty much screwed if their profit center is in house juice. Which most are. If a business model supports profit by re-selling juice made by an in-state "approved" juice manufacturer they can survive. Indiana is going to have high retail prices on everything vape related no matter which way you slice it.
Perhaps the Indiana vape shops will have their recipes made by the companies that are allowed to make liquid. This will be more cumbersome and more expensive but maybe it will keep them in business.
Does the new law restrict mail order by consumers?

One vape shop that I talked to said they got quotes from two of the six companies that are approved to manufacture in Indiana. Both quotes were four times the amount that they currently make it for.
Another shop in Indiana said they were going to raise their prices $2/per 30ml of juice. My fear is tax. These price increases are just based on manufacturing costs going up, due to state regulations. I'm very curious to see how much the price increases when Indiana starts taxing it.

Yes. I'm guessing most of the online juice stores will stop shipping to Indiana in the very near future. Some of them stopped months before the law even went into effect.
Unless this gets turned around somehow. No one can sell juice in or ship juice to Indiana unless it was manufactured by the one of six companies who were granted permits to do so. And that is forever. The deadline to apply for one of those permits has passed and they are no longer accepting them.

I read the court order. The argument that was missing was that the procedure is highly inequitable, meaning one private company decides who gets approved. That issue will get raised somewhere by somebody, right? In the mean time there is still a trial to come and other lawsuits to follow. The indiana law is so heavy handed it's hard to believe it survives the equal protection clause.
It's going to get very tough and depressing out there. Don't give up though. If you can, help your fellow vapers out. We're the lucky ones, we know how to make things work and how to get around things if we want, pass that knowledge on privately.
