I use my ejuice recipe app, and its very handy. I find this absolutely disturbing and totally unnecessary.

Hi. What a joke. Like kids are using those apps, come on. Kids buy disposables or cheap pods and cheap commercial eJuice. I doubt there are many (any) DIY kids out there, haha. Fuck all 179 organizations!

What are they going to do next? Ban anyone from using Google Docs for vjuice notes, spread-sheets, etc??

Well fuck me I have a fantastic all in one app that I've me coil estimates, ejuice calculator, even stores all my juices and lets me 'consume' them when I make them so it warns me when I'm running out 😿 I fucking hate all this big tobacco propaganda

Called " Vape Tool Pro" there is a free version but it doesn't have as many options.

Shit yeah, Vape Tool Pro is the bee's knees. Only app I've ever upgraded to the pro version. It was worth every single fucking one of the 400 pennies it cost me.

You have an Android device. Move the APK to your SDCard (or any other folder) and you can always side load it whenever you like. This isn’t Apple. On my phone they are gone forever, but Android has too many doors for them all to be closed.

If you already have it on your device they cant take it from you and u can install apps from other places not just google store

it just means you have to go on the web to get

Google taking it from the play store means nothing

are google and all these organisations incredibly dumb?

Also a quick search on store i find pages and pages of apps and games about alcohol and drugs and also how to make distilled spirits, cocktails etc

are they saying this is ok for kids to install but smoking and vaping are a no no? Somethings amiss here

And yes this is not so much about smoking but more about vaping

Hell some places u cant buy flavoured ejuice because they say its marketed at kids but these places still sell flavoured alcohol

We live in a curupt world

How about they regulate who can download apps by the age of the user?? Or is this to much comon sence??

The Apple App Store did the same thing last year I believe? Including the PAX 3 app, so if you buy a PAX 3 and have an iPhone you can’t use the app for fine tune control
