this is the call to action… was copied and pasted here:

Washington State

CAASA Call to Action Washington this is going before committee tomorrow. or today? SB 6254 is a monster bill that would severely limit consumer access to low-risk vapor products. Here’s what the most recent version of the bill would do: Impose a 37% retail tax on flavored e-liquids. This is in addition to the existing 9c/mL tax. Establish limits on bottle size (10mL), cartridge/pod sie (2mL), and tank size (2mL). As with other provisions, this is obviously an attempt to adapt the EU reg…

• Impose a 37% retail tax on flavored e-liquids. This is in addition to the existing 9c/mL tax.
• Establish limits on bottle size (10mL), cartridge/pod sie (2mL), and tank size (2mL). As with other provisions, this is obviously an attempt to adapt the EU regulations to the American market.
• Restricts sales of vapor products in flavors other than tobacco and menthol to adult-only retailers.
• Prohibits vapor manufacturers from selling/shipping direct-to-consumers.
• Establishes a product standard (which states are prohibited from doing) banning the use of nicotine salts in e-liquids with a nicotine concentration higher than 20mg/mL.

Ummmm, WOW !!!

Looks like MBV had it right …

@SessionDrummer

have any local insights ?

Just what i stated earlier , from what ive heard Flavored Eliquid will be allowed in Adult Stores only , Tax of 37pct , Nic Salts ( pods ) not to exceed 20mg/ml…Buying Eliquid online will be hard , i think I one shots are the future …It bites ass …I dont know how it affects DIY

[fidalgo_vapes]

If the PMTA stuff isnt figured out these laws won’t matter …

I remember this …Its right about the time I started vaping

[anon84779643]

The clock is ticking…

[fidalgo_vapes]

the next few months are going to be stressful especially for individuals like @MaschelleMEcfs …Maschellle anything I can do to help I will…find some recipea you like and ill make the one shots for you…VG , PG will always be accessed easily Nicotine is something I think you should stock up on

[anon84779643]

Ditto here too… @MaschelleMEcfs… drop me a pm if you need inspiration, or you can look thru my vendor thread…

I think bp bouncing like that, your body is trying to regulate itself… it will eventually, it’s learning how now. You need to stay away from the fatty, white sweet things… and sounds like you are doing a fine job! Btw… men tailors are the best A dear friend of mine years ago made me a complete black leather outfit and yeps… it was totally awesome! Never did have another one like it. go check your thread… I left a suggestion of the wasp for you…

Even tho it’s all wacked… You do have people here that are trying to help.

Not sure why you’d move to WA to retire??? Although it is cool sometimes to have it rain when the suns out or experience all 4 seasons in less then an hour.

@MaschelleMEcfs I’ll help you out as well just let me know what I can do. I can and will mix you up some stuff and send it your way. I just need some recipes to mix for you.

[MaschelleMEcfs]

so you’re okay with a 10 mil size bottle of e-liquid limited to a 2 milligram tank with no more than 2 mg of nicotine? Outlawing online sales to individuals is absolutely discriminatory. I have to show photo ID and sign for my e-juice that comes in the mail and that is more than sufficient proof. I’m also required to pay an extra $8 fee for the privilege of making sure I sign for my e-liquid. I would far rather do that than have a kid pick it up off of a porch. I have no way to go to a store as I am a disabled American that is limited to my home due to severe chronic illness. if I wasn’t disabled the flavor ban ran the two stores we had in our entire town out of business. people will start falling through the cracks and when it comes to stopping smoking we need to think about everybody not just one group of people and how the regs affect only the one group. this is a law that will only help a minority not the majority. I think we should be more careful before we poopoo away a piece of legislation like this. there’s no harm in people reading it for themselves and being present at that hearing tomorrow like we are allowed to be. resting on our Laurels is what got us a flavor ban in the first place. But thank you for your replies

Im not sure where 2mg Nicotine is proposed …I know 20mg of Nic Salt is proposed …But No im not okay anytime an adult is told what they Can’t do when they are allowed to do much worse ( alcohol ) …The reality of all this really sucks , the facts of the matter are that we all knew there would be regulations some time . The Vaping industry is also to be blamed for making this attack easier for the Government … 2016 we were all saying change the graphics on the bottle , quit naming eliquid after cartoons etc… Yes i would rather see

Flavored Eliquid in Adult stores only

20mg nic salt maximum

10ml bottles

2ml tank size

2 ml pod size

Opposed To an all out Ban on everything…unfortunately this isn’t even the major issue …in less than a few months Vaping will be turned upside down…

Its all fucked up and i hate it …

You right there isnt any harm , as a matter of fact people that can should go…

@MaschelleMEcfs

when it comes to stopping smoking we need to think about everybody not just one group of people and how the regs affect only the one group

Im not sure where this comes from ??? I think everyone is concerened , i also think there is way too much of people thinking about sub groups of people who vape…We all are ex smokers and now vape …

@MaschelleMEcfs

Theres a lot more than tbis that got us into a flavor ban…Reality about vaping is its a consumer driven product that has had only self regulation until now…I am proud of most of that self regulation , ive seen the best of vaping and the worst …Im not sure why anyone thought this Industry would go on how it has…

[anon84779643]

@fidalgo_vapes

@fidalgo_vapes
