And now the city has created a black market of unregulated vaping liquid. Sounds like it's perfectly legal to buy the base liquid itself, then you just add the flavoring. Much cheaper and fun!

To be fair, I'm not sure that's the case re: unflavored liquid, I was just speculating. That said, as with any prohibition, yes, there will obviously be people selling vapes / liquid illegally now.
It's quite frustrating that as we slowly step towards an end to the senseless and wildly net negative prohibition of marijuana, we are determined to repeat the mistake with nicotine.
Lots of the motivation behind this seems to be the popularity of vaping among teens. "Think of the children" and all that goes along with it.
You certainly can, my city just passed a ban of all flavored tobacco products which will include vaping.
I disagree with the ban, but that's beside the point here.
I'm actually curious to see how things play out. The first thing that occurred to me was that vape shops might start selling unflavored liquid and also sell flavoring which you would have to mix in yourself. Not sure that would be passable under the legal regime or not.
Interestingly, statehouse Republicans attempted to pass a law which would have negated my city's ban. This was vetoed by the state governor though.
