As long as you don't need new gear, heads, or coils. Every proposed tax I've seen includes those as well.
Would you go back to smoking if liquid costed more than cigarettes?

Yeah I hadn't thought of that. Too much going on today to get complicated...lol a 10ml lasts me a week. I mean I have 20+ bottles of juice right now, I swap between 11 mod/tank combos all day every day. So I am probablly way below ciggy cost at tis point.
it's the weekend, and I'm studying annd waiting for a returning husband so...I can't brain
Im sitting around drinking coffee and vaping and reading this forum, so my brain was looking for something to do lol
A couple mechanical mods, rebuildable drippers and tanks, protanks with heads that can be rebuilt, nic in the freezer. Whether it's taxes or ban on internet sales, I'm set for a loooong time,more than enough time to ween off nicotine very gradually. I'm not sure I'd continue vaping without nicotine, but no way I'd take up cigs again.
Nope, I enjoy my nicotine, but not enough to ever go back to cancer sticks.
Even if the government taxes e-liquid, I don't see how cigs will ever be a cheaper option, considering you can still DIY, unless they outlaw nicotine, in which case we have a problem, lol.
If they DO outlaw nicotine, I'm sure Ill still be able to get it on the dark web, and if not, we'll have plenty of time to stock up.

It makes me wonder is it the nic they are after? The hard ware could be repurposed for other things such as dietary aid. I would not go back to cigs. Or maybe I would if they take every thing away.
Nope. Never going back and not going to give up vaping. If they decide to tax e-liquid like cigarettes, I'd start using the stash in my freezer. When that runs out, I'll patronize the local white van man. Unreasonable taxes on ecigs will definitely create a thriving black market, exactly like it has for cigarettes.
Yes the only reason I vape as opposed to smoke is the cost. I like nicotine and I don't really care how I get it. It would take a little getting used to smelling like an ashtray again, although if I was smoking I probably wouldn't be able to tell anyway. Although if the prices were raised to that of cigs I wouldn't be able to afford either so I would have to figure something else out. Maybe manufacturing my own nicotine somehow.
I used to think I would but no longer. I heard they might even tax flavorings. I fear that the main targets of flavoring taxation would be tobacco flavorings.. making BT real happy. I know that's not what others think but my reasoning is that those are the only flavorings used exclusively in vaping so they're easily identifiable as connected to it. Flavoring houses can find work-arounds for the food flavorings but couldn't hide tobacco ones so I've stocked up on those to DIY. If or when my nic runs out, which I highly doubt, I'll just go zero nic. That leaves hardware but, so far, I'm finding it lasts a long time except for attys so I'll have to pay the tax on those. But, really, the amount I've saved vaping the last year and half would cover new taxes on vape stuff... I would probably just break even. And I was thinking the other day, if they tax any vape stuff higher than they currently tax tobacco (like the 95% they tried,) I would think someone would sue. It could even be a class-action suit. Hopefully these celebrities would donate some of their millions to the cause.

If the cost of ejuice went up and I couldn't afford it any longer, then I will diy unflavored USP glycerin from CVS diluted with 15% distilled water from the grocery store. I've tried it before and it's actually a pleasant sweet vape.
I don't need the nicotine anymore. I've gone down to 6mg to 0mg and can't tell the difference.

Yes I would go back to smoking if the price was just as high as cigarettes I would pick the cigarettes everyday over vaping only because every gas station sells them and you don't have to worry about battery life or running out juice or coils as long as there stores you can stop for a pack and a lighter. Cigarettes aren't going anywhere and sooner than later they will have to quit the taxing them to our death because if everybody quit smoking it would put all most a hole state to unemployment make the farmers go bottoms up. So the answer would be heck yes I would smoke again IF the price of juice went up to the cost of cigarettes
good catch on the verbage
I believe the OP meant on a equal usage basis like 3ml a day compared to 1 PAD cost comparison
Before I started vaping, I rolled my own smokes using tobacco and tubes. The cost was just under $25 for 30 packs, so around .833 a pack. Vaping is definitely more expensive for me. I will be starting DIY next week. Vaping will be cheaper then
didn't know you could freeze nic-liq . does any anyone know of a problem with this? i keep mine in the frig. if i can i'd like to stockpile! thanks.
I have been preparing for the day this happens since I first realized vaping works. When a gov will ban ecigs and leave tobacco on the market it is time to wake up and smell the BS. No I will never go back to cigs. I refuse to play their game any longer.
Go to the DIY subsection. Lots of discussion about it and methods.
Same here.
And in Europe, going to buy on the Black Market as soon as our - considerable - stash runs out will be a sad probability.
The deal is ... I lived in the Philippines about 3 years ago. Lived there for 5 years. Camel filters only cost $7.00 per carton. That was cheap smoking ... Filipino cigarettes were even cheaper at about $3.00 per carton.
Had I had access to vaping when I lived there, I would have certainly given up on the cheap cigarettes.

Those PI cigs were pretty rough if I remember right. I was there back in the 70's. The cig trucks carrying menthol cigs were hijacked and none could be found on the bases. I switched to winston then and never smoked menthol since. Thank heavens for vaping.
Yes you can freeze nic for several years. You need to buy some cobalt blue bottles from RTS vapes or Wizard Labs to store it in as the plastic will leech.
