What companies would that be? They are companies like Juul. And then there were plenty of small vape shops run by individuals who mixed their own e-liquids, or who curated a selection of e-liquids from other manufacturers.

No, it isn't. Requiring age verification? Sure, even if it wasn't the law previously, all places I used did that already. Banning USPS from shipping nicotine? Maybe, but questionable.
But the 2020 PACT Act amendment goes even further. It covers Electronic Nicotine Delivery Systems, a very broad term that includes "any component, liquid, part, or accessory of a device described [above], without regard to whether the component, liquid, part, or accessory is sold separately from the device." (!)
Think about this for a second. This potentially means lithium ion batteries, coils, wire, cotton, nicotine-free/0% e-liquids, etc. How exactly does that help? I would even be fine with other solutions, e.g. banning shipping anything containing nicotine. This is how it works in some other countries; you could still buy e-liquids and components, to which you could add nicotine. The mix-in nicotine could be more controlled.
I'm quite frankly sick of these bad faith arguments. It's a ridiculously broad law, and it's awful.
