There’s some new shit going down related to the Deeming with child proof juice bottles.
I think she's talking about this?:
Not new since I have not seen bottles that do not have them in years.

looks like effective immediately all ejuice is supposed to have orifice reducers (kinda like the original Capella's 13ml bottles) and no glass bottles with droppers anymore either.
I believe that is why we have been seeing crazy juice sales lately....
Yea, fucking professionals over there lmao"issued via tweet" ????

That is why dropper bottles are disappearing...and if you have tried to fill a tank lately with a new bottle it takes a lot of sqeezing.
Wife pressured me into switching to vaping over health concerns for me.
I soon realized I could save a bunch of money over smoking and was sold.
Well that and feeling better and not stinking or having a stinky car
I vape around 120 ml/week and spend less than $20/month on vaping.
Watch sales and clearance for vape stuff you like to use.And you mentioned that you were vapocalypse ready, too. That’s cool. I’m hoping to spend that little on gear and juice too, eventually. It’s great to be prepared for whatever goes down.

Until last month, I hadn't made ANY vape related purchases in over 2 years (maybe 3) with the exception of flavorings and the random bottle of juice. I'm down to my last liter of nic now though so...
When the Deeming Regs were published, I always assumed that if the FDA didn't kill vaping, taxation would

Personally, I decided I'd never pay a dime in "sin tax" for vape stuff, and I haven't, despite the 40% wholesale tax in my home state of PA. I finished my preps a few months before that tax went into effect, so I haven't needed anything since then. The few things I've wanted, I've ordered while spending time down in FL.
Taxes may be the only thing that partially saves vaping.
I mean they will not ban cigs becuase of the taxes...
Actually look for them to go down with going out of business sales in the future if things continue as forecast.True, I never thought of that. So there’s always an upside, thank God. I just wonder how much vape gear prices will go up.
My prediction for vaping a few years down the road is.
Highly taxed sealed pod type systems with built in batteries and such to be only approved devices.

As to prices on any approved devices?
I think they will fairly closely track the cost of smoking considering price + taxes.
Juice is always expensive in the sealed pods.It’s almost $14 a pack here. It would be pretty damn expensive especially for juice. Cripes.

Invest in a few RTA/RDA, mix your juice; own a mech or 2; check out PWM..
Government can only screw with the HW - which you can build.

Bottled juice may well be banned,

Vic, I only started vaping again a few months ago. It may take me a while to build and mix.
What’s up with mechs blowing up? Kinda making me avoid them, although they look great. Mechs are good for post-Deeming since it’s just a tube with a battery and a button?
People probably get bored with me posting Aussie prices, but:
I think they are increasing tax by 12.5% again in September.
That's a 25 packCrikey. For how many cigarettes?
I’m sure we’ll get taxed some more here too. They have no scruples at all.
Mech issues are user error. Usually using hybrid's where the battery contacts the positive connector of the atty coupled with not so good batteries and dumb practices.
NoSo two positive things coming together makes it blow up?
That's a 25 pack
Our dollar is about 70 US cents though
We can buy packs of 50. But I figured the 25s would show international better.So the AUD is less than the £. Wow, that’s really a bitch, as they say. They give you more ciggies per pack though. We get twenty.
I hope employment is steady in Oz now.
No
A positive and negative, with no resistance or too low resistance between them
Torn battery wraps can cause short circuits too

As DogMan stated. Or using an atty not designed for use with a hybrid mech where the positive of the battery contacts pos+neg shorts it out. Battery gets hot fast and vents. If the mech doesn't have proper venting, pressure builds and boom!
But $35 is over the top expensive. No wonder you’re vaping. It’s like a dollar a cigarette, i can’t believe it.
i smoked chop chop which obviously avoids tax
in 2013, border force had a few big successes intercepting illegal tobacco, and my supply dried up (i used to buy it from a store with a front as being a school uniform shop)
i tried commercial rollies, but i couldn't get used to the change, so figured i'd try vaping to at least cut down
BUT, when calculating savings, i use the $1 per cig figure
And because there would be 30 million very angry people who would create a black market the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Volstead Act was the law of the land.Taxes may be the only thing that partially saves vaping.

The context above was cigarettes, i.e. smokeable tobacco, not vaping. To see about the black market for that all you have to do is check really high tax jurisdictions like NYC or Australia. Cigarettes remain legal there, but already half or more of the market is "informal".I do not think that vaping has as strong of an attraction to humans as does alcohol.
There would be some black market but nothing like with alcohol during prohibition.
One reason being not the massive profits as with bootlegging and illegal drugs.
That and the fact that vaping is not really addictive like those other things.

As for vaping, I'm not sure how I would react if I were cut off from it. I don't intend to find out either.
