From what I can tell it would regulate all nicotine containing juice and all hardware that is intended to be used with that. So a lot of small business that build these mod-boxes and things will not be in compliance.
It's too bad, this really hurts small business.
- unprepare 10y agoi suspect some will rebrand as marijuana focused vape companies, that will also happen to work as ecigs, especially as marijuana becomes more legalised across the nation. Though i further suspect someone will try to get the FDA to pass similar rules for marijuana products, something i dont believe it can do until marijuana is legalized at the federal level (it would be hard to get federal approval for a device thats designed to break federal law)
- snuxoll 10y agoThe dispensaries in WA already sell the same devices as well as pre-filled cartridges containing oil extracted from cannabis. I don't think the FDA would buy it though.
- blakes 10y agoWhich are awesome by the way.
- snuxoll 10y agoAgreed, combustion of any kind produces things you really shouldn't be inhaling. Inhalation of anything that isn't clean air (not much of that anymore these days, though) is potentially hazardous, but the cannabis vape cartridges are certainly a better way to go about it (and less smelly too). It will be unfortunate if these FDA regulations hurt these too, not that the FDA is particularly fond of cannabis either (and I can easily foresee similar regulations being passed when it is eventually legalized at a federal level).
