Help.. I just went here and it says the store is closed due to FDA regulations. I had stocked up on Black Friday and am running out. How am I going to survive without my Red Apple? Anybody know anything about this? Thanks
What follows is the actual notice sent to customers...This is a real bummer. I have vaped nothing but NLV Gold since it's inception.

Dear Customer,
We sincerely regret to inform you that PVLiquids.com will no longer be able to service NiteLite Vapor retail customers online. The new FDA regulations implemented on August 8th, 2016 stating that all vaping products and items used for vaping are now deemed tobacco Products and are therefore now under their jurisdiction. The new FDA regulations are beyond what most all US e-cigarette manufacturers, distributors, and vendors could possibly comply with. The exception would be all the tobacco companies who already manufacturer their own brand of e-cigarette products who without a doubt have been well prepared financially and politically for quite some time. Although the new FDA regulations were not expected to be enforced for a few years, MasterCard announced last month that they would be applying their own new regulations to Online Merchants with regards to anyone selling E-cigarette Products now that Vapor Products are deemed tobacco products. Visa, Discover, and American Express are expected to follow suit. The requirements to become compliant are so ridiculously out of reach for most all Online Vendors, that we don't see very many surviving the implementation deadline. The deadline may vary between Websites and Vendors depending on which Credit Card Processing Company they are doing business with. Ours has notified us that we will be losing our Merchants Account after the first week in January 2017.
NiteLite Vapor will continue to service their wholesale accounts to Brick and Mortar Stores in the US and Internationally. Although there have already been many Brick and Mortar Stores close because of all the new regulations. There is now way to know how many more will follow.
We expect that most PVL customers will try to stock up between now and before the end of the first week in January. The impact on our service departments and shipping will most likely be overloaded during this time. We will try to keep product in stock and will continue to restock while we can. You can rightly assume shipping delays due to the large orders we will receive and customer demand once this notice of closure becomes public. We intend to offer the current Holiday discount of 30% off as long as supplies last.
We sincerely thank you for your patronage and support over the many years. Our decision to close PVLiquids.com did not come easily and has brought a great sadness to many.

I also just found out yesterday...not sure when they closed, or if they plan on coming back. Wonder if Katdarling has more info....
I'M WITH YOU.. this sucks. I loved my RED apple from NLV and have yet to find anything to compare it with. Ever since Dave Longo sent me some, I have loved it so much. It's all I vape. So upset by this. I tried Heather's Heavenly Vapes Adam's Apple. It's horrible. Tastes like perfume. American eLiquids has an Apple that's OK. At least it doesn't taste like perfume but it isn't as good as NLV's Red Apple.. I am bummed beyond belief..Help me Kat! This tobacco taste like the mixer went all Emeril Lagasse with the cider vinegar! And this NET was so bad it made the new coil unsalvageable. And this high VG tobacco taste OK...But I cant feel it. I can see the hell out of it!!! But that only goes so far!!
Can't NLV or PV Liquids just raise the prices?? I mean at $60.00 for a Mini Jug I would smile and say "think you sir may I have another!" At $70.00 "Think you sir may have another!" I'm sure there is a limit for me up there somewhere...But I'm not sure where. Or maybe just sell the pre mixed flavor concentrate with instructions to add to 100ML and enjoy! Wouldn't that get around the regs?
I honestly don't know what to do!! I broke down yesterday and bought a bunch of DIY supplies. But that's just my desperation!!! I have no clue what I'm doing! The only thing I'm pretty sure of is that the ratio is 65-35 and the flavorings come from a "well known USA flavoring company." But even then that leaves dozens if not 100's of possible tobacco choices! And that's assuming #1 its even tobacco. It sure doesn't taste anything like other tobacco products I've tried. And #2 the flavoring is even available to the general public and not made by a manufacturer that only works with corporations. In which case I'll never find it.
The only real hope I have in DIY is that what I really love about Twilite is that it's lite. Ands if that's the case its possible...maybe...that I'll like other flavors too if I just go easy on the flavoring. And big on the love!! lol
But again, that's probably my desperation talking.
Thanks for listing. My co-workers and family don't understand! And frankly, are really tired of me talking about it!
You might try Ahlusion's Pure apple. It is straight up Apple and you can pick your pg/vg level and of course your nic level. Ahlusion goes up to 24 mg. unlike a lot of other place nowadays. I like Ahlusion's Autumn Mist which is an apple and pear mixture.I'M WITH YOU.. this sucks. I loved my RED apple from NLV and have yet to find anything to compare it with.

PS.. I never got a notice about this. I even checked my spam folder.. Nothing. Why is everyone else still selling online? Why is it just them? Unfair.
