Due to the new regulations, some stores have felt driven to close their doors come Monday, such as Hub City Vapors. Their manager, Tom Jordan, shared this statement with EverythingLubbock:
“As a result of new regulations, the FDA now categorizes our store as an e-juice manufacturer and requires us to register as such. Even though we buy in bulk and repackage juice to sell in smaller bottles and do not produce any of our own e-juice, the FDA still considers us manufacturers. The cost of complying with the new regulations would be very high, and we would have to pass the cost to our customers through greatly increased prices.
