Well, I'm moving to Europe for a year (check the flag in the avatar, first one to guess where wins), so I will be fine. If it becomes banned, I can always send back a couple of wine bottles full of juice. Or just quit slowly.

Croatia? What do I win if I'm right of course, lol.

I have got down to 1mg juice going to 0 would be no problem. PG/VG/flavorings are not going to be an issue to get.

I have 3 mechs I can keep going a very long time and have printed off instructions on how to build one if necessary.

I have stockpiled cartos, cartotanks, clearos, and RBA's/RDA's.

I am in my late 40s. I strongly suspect I am set for the rest of my life.

I tried cutting my nic one time, and the flavor was yuck! That's the project I need to work on. To learn to DIY good tasting juice without nic or with very low nic. Any advice, Myrany?

In the meantime, I have about 4 years of nic (based on 18mg/ml juice), RBAs (which I'm not very good at yet), and lots of mods (including a couple of mechs).

I have plenty of DIY stuff, cartos, and wick and wire to last for quite awhile. If the worst did happen, I would cut back on the nic to zero, and keep going as long as I could. I also have several mechs, other devices, and many batteries. So, I am not really concerned for myself. My concern is more about the overall outcome, as new vapers are not yet this resourceful.

All set here. I have enough nic (at my current levels) to last about six years. I am playing around with DIY'ing and have enough flavors for a loonnngggg time. Have lots of equipment and can build more.

Worst comes to worse, I have two sons. One is an electrician, one deals with chemicals, and either could build me anything I could possibly want.

Kids are grand!! :)

This is hypothetical since I do not expect nicotine or hardware to become illegal. I do expect nicotine to become more regulated, more expensive via taxes, maybe a ban on internet sales, maybe a limit to the strength an individual can purchase without a license.

Vaping without nicotine would be pointless for me, but I have enough in the freezer that I could keep going for years, then taper off gradually. I already DIY most of my liquid anyway.

With wire and wick, I can keep my current stock of clearos and rebuildable dripers going for years, at least until the silicon rubber bits fail.

I have built simple box mods already and as my ego batteries die I can recycle the ego/510 connectors from them into other home made mods.

I also have a couple of APVs, those will last until the connectors strip out or the switch or circuit board fails.

I think I'm all set for a long time. :vapor:

I have enough knowledge to rebuild my coils until the 2nd coming of Jesus (to my Jewish brothers and sisters the 1st coming).

I diy my own juice and if nic base is not being sold anymore I'd soak snus and pipe tobacco in VG and get it that way. Where there is a will there is a way.

we await the Messiah,,,,,,,,,not Jesus :lol:

(I'm just playin with ya!)

When BT and their armies of accountants, actuaries and CEOs decided to get into ecigs, it was pretty much a given that ecigs would not become illegal.

Do you have any idea how much research they had as to how profitable it would be? Surely nobody here actually thinks Big Corporate embarks on things that will lose money. :)

But okay, I"ll play. I don't believe in stockpiling, whether it is food or anything else, as there will always be the day coming where you "run out".

I am a person who prefers to get it over with, rather than a long drawn out period of being in the soup. So if vaping became illegal, I would move on with my life, and it would not include going back to smoking.

Really, they're just hedging their bets. If people continue to vape they make money. If they did ban ecigs, most would go back to smoking and they still make money.

They're in it to control the marketplace. However it goes. They created the addicts*, they want to control the product.

*not to demean anyone that smokes/smoked- but that was their goal.
