What should I be stocking up on before August? (non DIY)

With all the FDA regs right around the corner, I'm trying to figure out what I should stock up on first. It seems "everything" is the answer. Also, "learn to DIY for coils & liquid" is something I see a lot of people post. I'm not there yet... Those things aside...

For a non-DIY vaper, what is the most important item for me to stock up on - specifically before August 1st? I'm on a budget.... Don't get me wrong, I've been getting lots of coils & juice; two more mods, another tank...

What do you think should be my highest priority?

Thanks!

Thanks everyone, I was starting to panic. The thought of being forced back to smoking cigarettes freaks me out.

Those folks on the ecf forum are going ape shit with credit cards. Strategically storing frozen nic in case of disasters and all kinds of d day prepping.

Agreed. However, all the vendors are feeding off the panic. Even though, they offer you a discount, or sales items, they still make plenty of money. Wait how cheap items will get, once we approach August 8, 2018. There will be lots of "going out of business" sales, and other extremely discounted sales. That's when you want to buy, whatever you need to stock up on.

If you're not interested in DIY, then the one thing to stock up on is sources for the liquids you like. I expect 12/31 to be when there's a serious dropoff in vape shops as they will have to register as manufacturers if they make house liquids. Without the house liquids profit, many will not be able to survive.

I do think things will become more expensive as the year winds down, as more states jump on the taxation bandwagon like PA has.

There are already a few sites that will not ship to certain states.
The more I start digging into this is seems they aren't shipping to their own state.
Still trying to verify this and if I can create the time, maybe provide a list of whom isn't selling to where.
Not sure I'll be able to get to that though, still trying to find time to review half the items I've purchased.
I'm not particularly concerned about a vapocalypse but I definitely like collecting hardware, it looks good on my shelves.

Utah vape stores cannot make online sales to Utah residents according to this online shop :facepalm: http://www.peakvapor.com

A number of Indiana vape shops have shut down due to state regulations according to Indiana VU members.

A VU member from Arkansas says his state laws prohibit online sales from other states without onerous licenses and now about half the online vape stores outside Arkansas won't sell to him,

This is exactly what I am finding during all this research.
Glad it's not just me. lol

Nah, it's a sad, sad situation. So many states are going out of their way to destroy the vape industry before the FDA can really stick it to us.

I don't care that supposedly nothing will change for two years. I'm prepping now and will vape in a style I'm accustomed to regardless of future taxes, interstate restrictions, etc.
