The simple answer is that they've lost millions of tax dollars due to people not buying cigarettes,. They've been trying to outright ban all vaping products for over 10 years now. They failed at that so they did this.
Always follow the money.

I'm guessing it's due to the battery that could cause a fire hazard for aircraft? But I'm "guessing."

Yup. Fires on planes are tres dangerous.
It's this coming into effect: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/1253/text
The bill specifies USPS, but all the major shippers are jumping onboard.
Obviously there will still be lots of product shipping, albeit more stealthy.

Yep you won't be able (legally) to order vape equipment/juice, now everyone going to have to go to a store to get what they want
Or just quit vaping
Always been standard hazmat ground for batteries and toxic components such as nicotine. Now USPS outright banned everything vaping related, DIY juice supplies, devices, everything unless you are an incorporated business. It was signed with the Trump COVID stimulus package, UPS and FedEx have followed suit. I used to pay about $0.75 for 100ml of my DIY juice, now I'm looking at $20-35 for 30ml from a business if I want to not smoke cigarettes.
They did it under the guise of saying it will keep vapes out of the hands of children, like they say with everything they want to take away from you and sell back at a higher cost. All those people saving money making their own juice is money not spent and taxed, that's all they care about. FDA members have been caught taking kickbacks from big tobacco to the tune of over $100K as well. Made it a no-brainer for them to step on people trying to get by during COVID, they don't give a shit about us and they don't give a shit about kids.
