A week is probably safe. In order to put the kibosh on it prior to 5/11/2020, the FDA would, at a minimum, have to issue formal "guidance" directing it only be sold to registered tobacco products manufacturers. This would take some time, and I think we'd have at least 30 days notice.
Well, this has been my thinking too. Whether the FDA or Congress puts on the kibosh we'll have a little time for a head's up. The federal gov't never does anything fast. We could get hit by 50 nuke heads and our gov't would need at least a month just to fill out the forms requesting retaliation.
Right, but do you wanna get caught up in the real panic that will occur once the heads up is given? I sure wouldn't. I've seen what happens when the herd panics in other areas.
I don't really agree with this. That would be extremely cautious. I think virtually all sellers will continue to sell nic until they're told with certainty they can't (I know I would). Hard to believe a vendor would stop selling a legal product because it might in the future be determined to be illegal. And some will continue after that, until forced to stop. This is their livelihood, they're seeing the end coming, and will rightfully try to squeeze all the profit they can before stopping.
FDA enforcement isn't all that aggressive. They aren't going to show up with a SWAT team and MRAPs initially. The first thing they do is send a warning letter that will likely contain certain demands.
It's a sad commentray.Wanted to mark your post as "Funny", but just can't - especially since you are correct . . .

Generally, no. I agree with you. That said, I feel good anything that comes down the turnpike I will be among the very first to know it. Being a fixture on ECF allows that.
I'm not saying we should be sitting on our hands by any stretch of the imagination. In fact, we need to be stocking up. But sorry, I don't agree we are at DEFCON 1 yet. I haven't stocked up on nic yet because I'm still not sure DIY is for me. I'm not going to panic-buy $1000 worth of nic only to find out I will never use it. Now, if something tells me it will be banned in short order I will have to make a quick decision based on what I know then. But when the feds decide to do something it never happens in DEFCON 1 fashion. Never! State governments, perhaps. But not the feds. I just sense a hyper frenzy that many are getting caught up in when just a regular frenzy is where we should be.
See, this is a good point. A lot of people here are commenting on "when will the price drop" kind of thing. Some won't drop at all. A lot of that will depend on many things: how fearful the vendor is, whether they have any future in business with other products after the hammer drops, where their orders come from, and as you pointed out - their overall business model.
I used a hack saw to saw the lid off. Not recommended.
One small spill of 100mg will make lots of finished juice.
I sawed the cap off using the saw in a horizontal position, no spill. It was the particles of plastic dust left in the bottle that became a bigger problem.Hopefully, you placed it in a big pan before sawing to catch the dribble!
Dangit Rossum now I have the incredible urge to listen to the unabridged audible book for Larry Niven's Ring World. Le sigh. Oh well I can do that while organizing my stuff.
Unflavored nic could simply fall under the "only tobacco flavors" rule.... because it is not tobacco flavored it would be banned.... besides, Romney's bill that he has on the floor wants to ban refillables, which would probably include unflavored nic.
Any device with a common 510 connection can be used. The main difference is the liquid being vaped.
