So i got an email from smoke crossroads the other day and it basically said that all the people in the houses that support vaping got re-elected so it's a good thing for the vaping world. Hopefully they'll take off all these stupid restrictions and let the business produce as many flavors as they want to without having to go through the whole $3k per flavor FDA crap.
Here's what the email said:
Quote:
I don't know if you are like me, but I am glad that November 8th has come and gone. I do not write this e-mail to pin sides against each other, I would just like to explain what this all could mean for our vibrant vape industry. Although, there is a lot of both disappointment and celebration depending on which side you sit, this election means a lot to vape.
First off, Cole-Bishop. This amendment was added to the Agricultural Appropriations Bill back in April. Since then, it has not seen the floor of the senate or house. Now that elections are over, we enter into lame duck sessions of the US Congress. Our lobbyists and trade organizations have been awaiting this time. This is when we must hit our representatives the hardest. Please go to CASAA.org and see what you can do to help. There is a fairly good shot at pushing this bill through which would change the FDA predicate date and potentially save our industry from burdensome market authorization.
Also, in the US Congress, we have seen some elections and re-elections of hard hitting vape advocates. Senator Ron Johnson and Speaker Paul Ryan, both Republicans from Wisconsin, have assumed their seats again. If you remember, Johnson was the outspoken senator who boldly wrote the FDA intently questioning their ethics behind deeming regulations. Also,Senator Rob Portman (R-OH),Congressman Brad Schneider (D-IL), and Congresswoman Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) all won their races. These are bipartisan heavy hitters in the advocacy of small business and vaping.
In recent trips to Washington, we have seen a lot of support from Republican congress men and women. We have also seen support from the Democratic party as well, but not as widespread. This means, for better or for worse, a majority Republican House and Senate has potential to help the advocacy efforts. That may not hold as much with other issues, but for now we are counting our blessings.
Now the bad news. California Proposition 56 was passed in California which imposes ludicrous taxes on products with nicotine. As a consumer, again, please visit CASAA.org to see how you can get involved in the fight.

Does suck to live in CA though. Seems like republicans like vaping but they like anything with nicotine in it haha.
Also I was shown this site
https://www.juicedb.com/ and it's basically got everything related to eliquid.
I go to a vaping chat and most of them DIY everything, so if you feel like you want to try making your own eliquid check this out.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/...eginners_guide I'd do it but you basically need a whole separate room to do it in.
If you want to try out the vaping chat you can find a link for it on the vaping reddit. Those fools aren't right so be prepared to be offended. haha
sorry for the long post. just wanted to share.
