# With Looming Ban, People Are Plotting to Hoard Juul Pods

![some people are planning — or at least tweeting about planning — to stock up on their beloved Mango-flavored Juuls and other tropical-flavored vape juices.](<https://futurism.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/vape-ban-hoard-juul-pods.png>)

On Wednesday, the Trump Administration [called for a ban](<https://futurism.com/neoscope/trump-ban-flavored-vape>) on all flavored vape liquid in the wake of a [mysterious lung illness](<https://futurism.com/neoscope/terrifying-vape-disease-killed-five-people>), tied to vaping, that's now claimed at [least six lives](<https://www.cnn.com/2019/09/10/health/vaping-outbreak-2019-explainer/index.html>) in the U.S.

Now, with the FDA expected to take flavored vapes off the shelves in the near future, some people are planning — or at least [tweeting about planning](<https://twitter.com/chris_smith456/status/1171836328608260098>) — to [stock up](<https://twitter.com/PhenomenalPoto/status/1171938389647605766>) on their beloved Mango-flavored Juul pods and other candy-flavored vape juices.

Others seem to be prepping for a "Mad Max" scenario — [vape god](<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_aNYRPEZOY>) style.

While implying that a ban on flavored vapes would cause society's downfall might be a touch dramatic, others posted slightly more practical takes. Some said that they wanted to maintain [their own private stashes](<https://twitter.com/iiTz_Swift/status/1171975935165456384>) of flavor-filled vapes, not unlike doomsday preppers filling their bunkers with beans and lentils.

[Others joked](<https://twitter.com/primadonnatella/status/1172006917180469248>) — or maybe they weren't joking — about stocking up so that they could [flip them for profit](<https://twitter.com/yeehawharlee/status/1171983480152035328>), gouging the [unfortunate suckers](<https://twitter.com/Lordtakemeplz/status/1172153643769856000>) who didn't think to [load up in advance](<https://twitter.com/primadonnatella/status/1172006917180469248>).
