The taxes went up for anything sold with nicotine in it. I'm in NC as well and do not order from MFS because of that. Even if I'm just ordering flavors from them(no nic involved) I'm charged .75 more in taxes. Thanks but no thanks.There is no NC law preventing them from selling nic base. There could be a city or county law, but I think Sugar_and_spice is right about it being easier on them with the deeming. Though flavors were deemed as well it'll probably be harder to enforce flavors and diy supplies besides of nic base.
