==United States legalization against vaping==
During 2018 and 2019, various states, as well as around the globe, reported an excessive amount of vape sales, the majority of which were illegal sales to minors under 21 years. It was also controversial the fact when deaths were reported about the consuming of these products, such as explosions by overheating, lung affections, and many more.
Then, the FDA called to all states to stop the selling of Electronic cigarettes E-Liquids, and many other products of the same nature to teenagers, in addition to its prohibition in public areas, no matter if it's a smokers area or not. Various states immediately applied this regulation; even YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms started to apply regulations about the content uploaded.

On March of 2020 he launched his own clothing line called "Vertigo", with various clothes such as sweaters, hoodies, masks, and T-Shirts. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the clothing brand was discontinued.https://www.instagram.com/vertigobyvaustinl/
==Inactivity, health problems and rumored "death"==
After the COVID-19 pandemic started, nothing else was known about Austin. His followers on social media were uncertain about what happened to him. Various people said that he "died" due to vaping; however, he mysteriously reappeared on YouTube on November 22, 2020 with a video called Vape Sesh, where he explains why the channel was inactive during 2020. The reason was due to the restrictions of the social media platforms to his content, making impossible for him to earn money from the views.
