All i feel is that its here to stay and the variety will be there for the different vaping styles. Kind of like cars. So many different types. Its just so wrong to allow analogs and then turn around and ban e cigs its incomprehensible and will have to change where they do that already. In due time
The problem is getting from here to your vision of the future. Depending on what the FDA does we could see effectively an off switch thrown until this is all battled out in court which could take a very long time.
And that is why I don't feel particularly paraniod about buying a big bottle of nic juice and learning to DIY. I also don't feel paraniod about picking up an octopus and an aga-t2 and keeping the dead heads from my CE5s and protank. If I can recoil and rewick myself that is one more thing that can't be cutoff. I have also printed off the directions to make a puck mod. If all my batteries die and I can't get replacements well the puck mod will still work.
If I never need all this stuff terrific. I got a stockpile to enjoy. If I do need it then I can not panic when store shelves empty from other peoples panics. I have been through enough pre hurricane buying to know what to expect
