I cannot understand why there is no law banning the sale of Vape mixture to kids in any shape or form. Prohibition does not work where there is a desire to use a product, and vapes are so easy to manufacture that it will never be effective.

There is in most countries. Unless you mean shortfills you are meant to add nic to? In the US those still firmly fall under the laws restricting sale of vapes. Don't know about the UK or Europe, I know those products exist there though.

Otherwise you can't legally sell bulk nicotine to underage people, obviously the other ingredients are used for such a wide variety of things they can't really be restricted like that.

I just checked. It is illegal to sell nicotine vaping products to anyone under the age of 18 in the UK. Hands up, I am guilty of making assumptions here.
