So That's it Then?

Is Monday the last day we can buy e-cigs, nic juice, and cartomizers? Just wondering because my regular on-line store seems to still be taking orders today.

Are there any certified/registered retailers anywhere yet? Everything just shuts down for months or more? What the heck is going to happen? I'm good for 6 months or so, but after that, who knows.

8-8 vape becomes tobacco products, there will be age verification online, possible taxes depending in your state and no new products released at this point we don't know about imports but you should be able to buy in US ok if you are in US. At least we think so!

Lot of unknowns. Folks will still sell stuff, but the selection will not change, other than running out of something. Nothing new on the market. Age verification required. States may get greedy on 8/9, or at any point thereafter. Other than that, we'll have to wait and see. At least you have 6 months of stuff to see you through until things become a bit clearer.

You'll still be able to buy stuff online, for now. The age verification process will be a bit more difficult than simply clicking a box.

It could get ugly just ask the people in Pennsylvania. I think one of the Dakotas is also making life difficult for residents . In other news I believe that Poland has just banned online sales and imports....

The American reviewers on YouTube will start doing reruns. It will be like the movie Groundhog Day.

The 40% tax hurts the shops but not vapers who are willing to mix and rebuild. With the tax a $50 bottle of nic goes to $70. That bottle will last me almost 4 years and a lot of other people much longer. The price increase is irrelevent to individual vapers. My current estimate is a 10 year stock pile for me with full redundancy (meaning it might last nearly twice that long) costs about $800. Increase that 40% or even 100% and it's still chump change compared to the $30,000 I would have spent smoking for 10 years. The same goes for mods and atomizers if they are't high end.

The extreme efficiency of the internet is crushing a lot of industries that provided various services at a much higher cost. Vaping crushes smoking the same way. The tobacco industry seems to be taking it in stride while governments are in a panic.
