I think they'll have to take a lot of regular FDA approved flavorings off the market to matter to DIYers.
Nobody that's serious about vaping for an extended period still vapes pre-made juice.
But I digress; the people paying $50 for atomizers & $200+ for mods, well, they probably still overpay for everything, even juice.

They would have to regulate FDA approved "for vaping only" flavors, and quite frankly that's no big loss. The majority of anything I use in DIY is food and beverage flavoring. So unless they're going to put the entire country on a water diet, I'm not worried.
Pretty hard to enforce. Whose to say that a tobacco flavor doesn't really taste like custard or strawberry. Not like FDA employees will be vaping to make sure an e liquid tastes correct to them.
Tobacco flavoring can be made from tobacco and PG or VG. Don't see em banning tobacco leaf.

Sounds a lot.
Agree with you.
Maybe DIY will be the best way to get through
Lots of us have come to that conclusion and stocked up on nicotine so we can be sure we will get through. After 4 years of vaping, flavors are no longer that important to me personally. But it's also obvious that limiting the availability flavors in pre-made liquids would slow the uptake of vaping by smokers. Finding some flavor(s) that you really like is important to successfully putting down the cigs..
I DIY juice so I'm stocking up on nicotine. I'm not concerned about bans on flavoring as those are used in the food an beverage industry so as someone else said unless they plan on putting the country on a water diet I'm unconcerned there. PG and VG both have applications outside of vaping. After vaping for over five years flavors themselves aren't that important to me, half the time I vape unflavored juice or juice with just some menthol crystals thrown in.
That being said by not being able to offer flavors this would mean that fewer new people might take up vaping over smoking and if the goal is to promote public health (and lets be serious that isn't their goal or they would be actively promoting smokeless tobacco and vaping as alternatives to smoking) then prohibiting flavors is not the way to do it. But then again this is the FDA and they seem to think that if they lower the nicotine of cigarettes people will smoke less in spite of three decades of evidence to the contrary.

They should not allow selling to minors and leave the flavors alone, like has been done with alcohol. Of course, the industry could help things along a bit if they kept their packaging looking like it was directed to adults too.
