TX Vapers - Have you heard anything about this?

[SteakAndEggs]

I was at a B&M yesterday taklking to the owner who is a fellow DIYer (sells his house juice at the store). He was telling me that there was soon going to be legislation going into effect that would require someone to have a license in order to purchase nicotine, like high % extracts for DIY. Is there any truth to this? I can't find any info to this online. Has anyone else heard about this?

Define high concentration the 100mg/ml or the above 200mg/ml we can't talk about on here?

 

[SteakAndEggs]

I honestly don't know. He didn't give me specifics

 

[Tmg666]

If its above 200mg i could see that being reasonable as you would really only need that for batches you are selling on a regular basis unless you like to vape 36mg juice. If it considers like 60mg/ml nic base then that is ridiculous.

 

[SteakAndEggs]

Like i said I'm not sure. I personally use 36mg/ml because I didn't wanna buy separate pg when i started DIY and plus I use 3mg juice which makes calculations a little easier for me. Either way, I just wish i knew if he was just BSing so I could know whether or not to stock up on nicotine...

 

[Tmg666]

I ment vaping 36mg lol
And what i found when googling was just the retailer licence to sell tobacco products, maybe they are trying/are including ejuice or nicotine mix into that. Not sure though.

 

[TX Foilhead]

Not sure where this is coming from. There was something passed this session, I believe it after many twists and turns it ended up mostly trying to keep e cigs away from minors. I didn't follow it closely so it could have changed at some point and I missed it. Anywho, that stuff generally goes into effect Sept 1, you should have 2 months to figure it out if it's coming from the state.

At $45 to $50 a liter now --there's no good reason not to stock up on 100 mg nic before the hammer drops.

I have several liters in the freezer now which will make 20 liters each (@5 mg) of finished juice.

Better to be safe than sorry...

I found one retailer who sells 99.9% nic..... That scares me you should have to have a license for that stuff.
They also sell 250 mg. or 25%. Still dangerous if you spill it on yourself.

 

[Azarias]

I don't think you as a private person need a license.
I would rather think of entrepreneurs who want to buy really high nic for their own juices. I mean I just found nearly pure nicotine to buy. Although nic isn't as dangerous as Big G wants us to believe I think some concentrations should not be available to the public.

 

[Rabbit Slayer]

Ask him for the prop number and if he can't give ya one, I'd look for a better source to get my vaping gear and info, because information w/out facts to back it up isn't worth listening to imho

I don't think even pure nicotine is more toxic than some of the common weedkillers, like gramoxone

 

[Robert Cromwell]

I checked the MSDS on 99% nic and gramoxone no comparison 99% nic is much worse.

 

[WharfRat1976]

The new law treats all ecig juice as if it were tobacco including 0mg nic. It's the beginning of the end....:Will the Texas governor sign myth into law

 

[WharfRat1976]

Here is the actual bill signing article for Texas: Gov. Abbott signs e-cig ban for minors - Caller-Times

 

[GreenFord]

I don't think that's the right link

 

[InTheShade]

If you want to read the actual bill you can find it at the link below.

TX SB97 | 2015-2016 | 84th Legislature | LegiScan

 

[WharfRat1976]

Man it's a brutal law. I mostly skimmed it but it makes it criminal to sell to anyone under 18 as well as forcing retailers to card anyone under 27....yes it does. It also regulates packaging of eliquid including child resistance caps and age verification demands for online purchases...wow. It also equates eliquid to tobacco including 0nic eliquid. It makes no differentiation between tobacco and eliquid. What a terrible read. All sellers of eliquid must sign a form acknowledging these new laws before they engage in a retail business selling eliquid.

Texas? A "Nanny State"?! The snowball in he-- just melted.

Texas? A "Nanny State"?! The snowball in he-- just melted.

Here I thought Texas was the only state left with any nads
Whats going up here in ohio turned into a .35 tax on cigs only, unless there is something I missed. I looked at my wife when I read and said man the state is screwed if everyone quits smoking.

There is no way 0mg liquid should be classified as anything. In fact eliquid should not be anything but something in its own class. Out of control government houses out of control scotus. States that want to fine other states because of water. This country is becoming borked. So much wrong and they throw the hammer down on 0mg. Sad sad times.

Is Canada recruiting?
