Vermont House OKs 92 percent tax on e-cigarettes

A separate proposal to raise the minimum age to purchase either tobacco or electronic cigarettes was approved by the House Ways and Means Committee Wednesday in an 8-3 vote.

That bill is expected to be debated by the full House on Friday.

I guess that would be another one of those bans for all adults of age 18, 19 and 20.

Absolutely ridiculous, it's all about money. It has nothing to do with health or protecting minors from vaping. Money, money, money. Thin pieces of green paper with special ink in them that have no true value, but we give it value. Sickening.

92 percent is one hell of a son tax. Pretty soon people will be bootlegging vape supplies

I wonder if i will have to pay this tax when i make an order online from another state or china? I get 90% of my liquid and hardware online only going to a local B&M rarely. If it comes to that i will go to New York or i could get some family living in other states to order it for me. Guess i need to start looking into these things

Go to rebuilding and DIY, keep minimal extra supplies, and you can be immune to interference for 10+ years. The list of things you need for that time frame is short and cheap.

P.S. I just noticed my quit timer clicked over last night so I'm not-a-smoker for 18 months--life measured in milliliters.

I only use rba but i have no interest in trying diy again.

If you've tried DIY does that mean you have some supplies? Try diluting a commercial premix you already like. I was successful with 25/75, keeping pg,vg, and nic the same and only diluting the flavoring. Most commercial eliquids are over flavored in my view. If you don't mind the tax then where is the issue? Governments are in a panic over the money. They will restrict our access any way they can.

The problem with taxing e liquid is the cost of liquid nicotine is low compared to the cost of nicotine in cigarette smoke. I was spending $3,000 a year to smoke a carton a week. My cost of ingredients for a year supply of e liquid is a $30. A 1 liter bottle of 10% nicotine has the same amount of nicotine as the smoke of 5,000 packs of cigarettes. If cigarettes cost $80 a carton in Vermont that's $40,000 for that $50 bottle. That would be a hefty tax applied to e liquid.

Right with you there! That's what I did over two years ago. I need nothing from the B&M's at all and have a store of nic in my freezer. And yes, it's all about the money, and not at all about anyone's health. Those greedy pigs will loot anything they can for the almighty dollar. They need to go to jail.

My fear is they will eventually ban online sales of nic solution, I can't buy it locally. So to be safe I just ordered another 6 years worth of nic solution, I should be good for 10 years on nic and a lifetime on other diy supplies!! I hope nic will last that long, I do have 3 year old stuff I am using now that is as good when first purchased.

I saw a post from someone who said they had tested nic stored for 6 years and it is still fine. I believe nic will last indefinitely if carefully stored. At this point I'm planning for 10 years of self sufficiency in mods, atomizers and nic. A few more rda', a couple more mods and I'm there. If it becomes more likely a crackdown is coming and there's still time may be I'll double up on nic. At today's prices a 10 year supply of those items is about $500 for me. Nic $175 including storage bottles, Rda's $100, Mods $200. I figure most of the mods and rda's would still be functional in 10 years. I'm going slow on the TC mods I prefer because they are advancing rapidly. The new Pico iStick is less than $30. Prices are crazy good for a stockpiler.

Blessed are the preppers for they will not suffer withdrawal.

Sad, but very true.

An idea for what it's worth. Order twice the amount of nic in the juice with
extra flavor shots, then double it down. For example, if you vape 6mg 50/50,
then just order 12 mg all pg with extra flavor shots, then take another bottle,
add half of the 12 mg and top both bottles off with vg and viola.
