(9,385 posts)You like a pair of shoes, you find a seller online that is cheaper. What is so unusual about that? What is Ebay? What is Amazon? What is Costco? What is Walmart?
Nearly everything works that way.
That small hidden market IS the bulk of ecig purchasing (as I explained earlier). Now if you want to tell me that somehow the process is going to reverse, and the hidden market depth vapers are going to suddenly start flocking to the mass marketed cheapie crap products... I really doubt it.
On regulation: how do you enforce a ban when you can't even tell which vapers are using nicotine and which are not? How does that work? I see a practical problem with that. As far as trying to regulate nicotine suppliers, I think that would make the difficulties of Prohibition look like child's play.
