The thing I dont like about it is. All the places we vape at now will become no vaping. Also this is down the road. We wont be able to get any flavors. Just tabacco and menthol tabacco. Then we can expect to pay tax on everything e cig related. But its still going in the right direction. We will know in about a year, give or take. We will have to come up with some other name for our products so we can still get them online. Just my 2 cents. Wait its 5 cents now isnt it? LOL!!

We'll just buy the flavoring separately. The only thing that is unique to e-cigs are the atomizers, and they are not a tobacco product.

All good points. But what I am happy to see is that the E-Cigs will be around and not banned. This should stop the ban's by states.
I would rather pay some taxes then have to go under ground to get what is needed.

If the industry is pushed under ground prices will sky rocket (Higher then taxes) Quality will drop due to now repercussions to the seller. At least this way it will still be available to the people that need a alternative to smoking or at least preserve our rights to choose to vape or smoke.

I think in the long run we will have more people switching due to the choice and availability. We will lose some suppliers but in the long run It will build a stronger ecig industry.

I am not for government taxing the Crap out of us at every turn but its better then the alternative. just my 2c :)

Actually, I think it will increase the location bans because it will officially be in the same class as cigarettes. If the ban is on tobacco products, there will be no argument about whether it is one or not. OTOH, those type of bans also apply to snus...try looking for people using snus in public places. I'll just get better at stealthing.

Something that just occured to me, didn't FSUSA set up a lab that is available for testing other vendors' juice? That may become the first FDA certified ejuice lab.

I heard something about the, but have not seen or heard of it getting of the ground.

Well, at least if you get caught stealthing, you can intelligently represent yourself. I'm sure I'd get thrown into the big house for saying something like, "sure, I was vaping. Get over it!" :D

They made a big stink about it months ago but I have not heard any thing about it lately. I will have to go back and do some follow up reading. :)

Yeah, I'm really curious now.

As a practical matter, the hardware makers/vendors should not have a problem (although I'm still wondering about atomizers). The juice vendors will primarily have to deal with the regs. The market is likely to become a small number of vendors who primarily sell tested & taxed nicotine liquid at a particular strength. The juice vendors that we have been accustomed to could sell flavoring mixes, possibly separate from "branded" nicotine liquid. I think premixed flavored nicotine juice is on the way out, except on a limited basis, unless BT starts marketing it.

Well, I guess I *could*, but I'm equally as likely as you to say that :laugh:

My advantage is that I probably know the prosecutor :)

I think the attys will be ok, It should allow the vendors to order and not have the feds stop them in customs.

Juice is a hole different matter. I will take at least a year for the government to decide how to handle this.
