"What does all this mean for e-liquids that contain synthetic nicotine? The possibility that someone would add tobacco-derived nicotine to them seems remote, so Next Generation Labs needn't worry about that (I think). But e-liquids containing its TFN-brand nicotine could still be deemed tobacco products if they work with multipurpose vaporizers. The company is therefore collaborating with Vapeix to develop a "cloud-connected smart vaporizer platform" that works only with e-liquids containing TFN nicotine. Next Generation cofounder Ron Tully says the alliance aims to "create a vape market which is unequivocally disassociated from traditional vaping devices that are intended to be used with tobacco-derived nicotine."

I told you Next Gen Labs, makers of TFN were a bunch of weasels that want a monopoly on the nicotine eliquid market yesterday.

This just helps prove my point - 5150

Sounds like they are playing the game like BT.

Still say that the FDA can control the Non tobacco derived nic even easier than the tobacco based.
As a drug.

Hmm... This sounds a lot like plopping a liquor tax on cherries... because they might be used in Whiskey Sours.

If those fuckers can "deem" a mod as tobacco, they can certainly call non-tobacco based nic tobacco

They could call dog turds tobacco and tax you every time your dog shits if they wanted to.

Brits used to come over here to escape taxes, I guess they still do... but nowadays we might start seeing some folks from the US fleeing to Britain to escape vape-insanity.
