I like Ahlusion, and I am just using them as an example here. I've ordered from them probably five times in the past and will order from them again and again over the course of time until they are no longer viable, should they decide not to remain open. I hope they decide to stay in business as long as they possibly can in the face of FDA regs. Business is going to change for every manufacturer, retailer in the vaping community.

Lets do a little review of how the FDA is going to effect Ahlusion given current, unmodified rules/regs.
They may have to kill their "Fully Customizable" and "Flavor Profiles" lines. Testing in light of FDA regs would be cost prohibitive.
Lines, ea with approx 6 different strengths (0, 3, 6, 12, 18, 24mg)
6 flavors, Elite Line (6 flavors * 6 different strengths = 36 PMTAs)
7 flavors, Custom Line, Aromatic (42 PMTAs)
4 flavors, Custom Line, Beverage (24 PMTAs)
2 flavors, Custom Line, Chocolate (12 PMTAs)
6 flavors, Custom Line, Cocktail (36 PMTAs)
3 flavors, Custom Line, Coffee (18 PMTAs)
5 flavors, Custom Line, Other (30 PMTAs)
36 flavors, Custom Line, dessert (216 PMTAs)
40 flavors, Custom Line, Fruit (240 PMTAs)
19 flavors, Custom Line, Tea (114 PMTAs)
17 flavors, Custom Line, tobacco (102 PMTAs)
PMTAs TO FILE = 870 PMTAs TOTAL
870 * $500,000 = $435,000,000 costs to file for PMTA with FDA for Ahlusion. Filing for a PMTA does not mean one is granted. If the product does not obtain the waiver, the product must be pulled from sale within the USA.
What to do in light of this situation:
* Join CASAA.
* Support your e-liquid vendors while they are here.
* Tell all of your manufacturers, vendors and retailers to join an established lawsuit to fight the FDA.
* Stock up! Buy vaping related devices, as well as flavors, pg/vg and nicotine base for yourself and learn how to use everything safely to make your own e-liquids in case the FDA regs are not overturned.
