I just heard on the radio that Gov. Evers is closing down the vape shops as "not essential businesses." Nothing is up on media websites yet. I heard it on WTMJ Milwaukee.

I don't know anything more about it than what I told you. I suspect not. But gas stations will still be selling juul, etc., because they're essential. That "essential business" stuff is despicable because it shuts down small businesses but not large ones, without regard to whether they're actually enabling the virus to spread.
I hope its not a question of using the crisis to push your pet project.
I haven't seen or heard anything more about it. I hope it was a false alarm.
It may well be worth ordering consumables over the internet then while you can. Such as liquid and or the fixings for it and coils or coiling supplies, as there's only limited stock and they're considered unimportant to the powers that be and we don't know how long things will last.
Even I've recently got some bits and pieces for DIY liquids now, so it certainly proves necessity is the mother of invention.

Puff Vapor on E Johnson St in Madison is taking phone orders for delivery from current rewards members. It says they're working on online ordering.
So would even that be shut down?

Here's a summary of the Governor's original order. It says that "Businesses that ship or deliver groceries, food and goods directly to residences" are not required to shut down.
These businesses can remain open following governor's Safer at Home order

I think I've tracked down the source of this misinformation. It's crap from the City of Milwaukee Tobacco-Free Alliance. Those dirtbags claim that "According to the Office of the Governor, Vape, smoking, cigar, and CBD shops are defined as non-essential workplaces and should stay closed for the remainder of the Safer at Home order. Deliveries from these establishments don't classify as 'essential travel.'"
However, as I noted, it says that "Businesses that ship or deliver groceries, food and goods directly to residences" are not required to shut down. They're purposely confusing deliveries from businesses with "essential travel" as applied to individuals.
The order also says:
DEFINITIONS 11. Essential Activities. Individuals may leave their home or residence to perform any of the following:
b. Necessary supplies and services. To obtain necessary services or supplies for themselves and their family or household members, or to deliver those services or supplies to others, such as, by way of example only and without limitation: canned food, dry goods, fresh fruits and vegetables, gasoline, propane, pet supply, fresh meats, fish, and poultry, and any other household consumer products, and products necessary to maintain the safety, sanitation, and essential operation of residences.

It's amazing that no matter where you are on this planet, that if alcohol and tobacco are permitted to be sold that it's still available. But vaping has and will continue to be affected by these interesting times, whether it's retailers closed or stock supply issues.
Would it be too much to hope that Twitter might shut down those posts for spreading false information? I think I'll try reporting them and see what happens, or doesn't.
Too late, they already blocked me. Talk about a hair trigger. Perhaps someone else could report the offending post for spreading false information. This is the link:

Remove the brackets to make it live.
Supposedly, government entities aren't supposed to block people, after a 2019 court decision. But I don't see anything about what to do if they do it anyway.
