On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

[Astron]

Ok, I REALLY have completed my stash now, lol. Just need to order my grandson's LP Reo later in the week and his is done too

I have a great local vape store that will stay open as long as possible so its not like we won't be buying anything new in the future for as long as we can, BUT it feels really good to know I'm not going to have to deal with on-line age verification, adult signature required shipping cost, or stupid state laws that make ordering or selling via the internet difficult, or even import difficulties should they arise down the road. I don't have to worry about changes to the PACT Act that prohibit USPS shipping of our stuff. I've saved a fortune by avoiding the coming sin taxes and almost everything I've stashed has been purchased at great prices so a lot has been saved that way too.

Should a miracle happen and things not become as bleak as it appears now, I've simply assured this grandma will only be spending a minimal amount for my vaping enjoyment for the rest of my life. And I've insured my 18 year old grandson can continue to vape, if he chooses, for a very long time at a very reasonable cost.

Woman after my own heart! This is exactly what I'm doing and thinking. It was really important to me to have enough stuff for my still-smoking husband; everything I do includes him in the process.

I could be wrong...but I do think buying now, online for cheaper, without the hassle and surely forthcoming tax increases and full online bans (for my state) is a good idea...frankly I just don't want to have to worry about it. My husband is why I picked up so much extra nicotine, too. I do not need all the nic I've bought just for my own use.

Plus I do not want to have to compromise the style of vaping I enjoy now in turn for mechs and RDAs. Of course mechs and RDAs are in my arsenal and I have no personal bias against them. But the idea of my husband using a mech mod and dripping rather gives me a fit of giggles, lol. He's getting the GloVari and a Kayfun...

What a wonderful feeling!

I'm probably ready enough. But, I don't feel like I'm finished yet. Still getting a few mods repaired. And, a little bit of this and that.

Help! I haven't been active in the forums for a long time and I don't buy supplies often, as I buy a lot at one time. I have been using Boge 510 LR cartomizers for years on my Reo Grand. I used to get them from Crystal Clear Vaping, but the site is no more. I'm having trouble finding anyone who has them in stock. Are they still made? Are cartos mostly being made for use in tanks now? I'm surprised to see people still fooling with tanks. I would have thought bottom feeders would have taken over by now. But, I'm isolated in my knowledge, like I said, I haven't been on the forums and don't know any other ecig users.

Please give me some suggestions for finding Boge 510 LR cartomizers or a comparable cartomizer. Thanks!

There's more, too. Just have to search for it.

Well Fastek now requieres a signature, had to chase mailman down yesterday for my daughters order..

It was sent china post, my order should be coming in a week or so, I will keep an eye on that. Is this just another step in the wrong direction?

I just received my order from Fasttech yesterday and no signature was required. I think it depends on the shipping method, dollar amount(?) and what it is you purchased such as batteries, eliquid.....

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

Has anyone had batteries shipped via Netherlands Post from gearbest? Bought the insurance, but don't know what to expect since its my first purchase with them.
I just got a package from FT today that did not require a signature. Actually had 2 orders from FT shipped within 2 days of each other, got the first one, the other hasn't left China yet. The 2nd one has a couple of evicT mini's in it but they both shipped via the epackette.(no built in battery).

Nope. Been there. 1st two are out of stock when you try to add to cart. The last, DR Vapor lets you add it, but that doesn't really mean they have it. And $10 is way over priced. I keep running into the "out of stock", as if they've been discontinued. Does anyone else use them?

 

[Vandal]

Innovation is great. The only problem with that in the vaping industry is that things get obsolete so quickly. The people who prefer 'older tech' (such as myself) are stuck scouring the internet for what they want, and in some cases they are unable to find it at all. That's a shame, when you find something that works for you, or think could work for you, to find it's no longer available.

Are the majority of vapers really into clouds over flavor? It would seem so if the way the market looks to me to be headed is any indication.

look around a bit a lot of the smaller vendors are clearing them out for a song. I picked up blocks (250 cartos) for .99cents/5 pack not too long ago.

That's Funny you should mention that. Because I am on Day 21 of a FT Order via Netherlands Post. With about 3 to go.

It didn't understand that my Item would Actually Go to the Netherlands. But it Did. LOL

Might try the Vapecrawler search engine, it's a great tool.

I guess that is about the only country that will ship batteries, probably via a slow boat. And I could have provided an alternate address also, but gb said that po boxes were ok to ship to. Only after it shipped did I realize my mistake. But then again, paying DHL shipping kinda negates the whole discount thing. Live and learn, I guess. LOL

Yeah... What I ordered had a "Built In" Battery...

$17.39 KVP KP Box 30W 2200mAh VW APV Mod - authentic / 1-30W at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

I hadn't bought a Mod with a Built In battery in a Long Time. It kinda surprised me when Netherlands Post was about the Only Option.

Has your package actually reached the US? I bought the insurance but they won't consider it as 'lost' until at least 3 months according to their website.

It has. It got to the USA on the 14th.

Not sure what you use to Track your package with? But 17Track gives pretty good History Info.

I haven't read the FDA Regs, but the videos from a few lawyers that I saw stated that...
No new products after 8/8/2016 without doing the application process, but whats currently on the market can stay for another 2years and then it has to go through the application process by 8/8/2018.

Given this understanding, why the rush stock up on supplies (besides nic maybe) when we have a 2year period?
Am I not fully understanding the FDA Regs?

Also from what I understand, each juice flavor needs to go through the application/research deal "at" each nic level also. So testing /research/application for the same flavor e-liquid at 3mg then at 6mg then again at 12mg, etc.
Does that sound about right or am I totally wrong.

Several States have already States that ceritain items like batteries, ejuice and tobacco prodycts cannot be shipped ib those States.

As of 8/8/2016 nicotine, ejuice, mods, coils etc are labeled as tobacco prodycts and cannot be shipped into Washington state, New York, California, and other States

They say without pmta they can stay on tge market. However the US Government is notorious for breaking treaties when they wanted.

I trust tge Govt as far as i can throw an elephant.

So today I go visit my son and we go to a vape shop near where he lives. I go inside and start talking with the people who run the shop and ask if they know about the FDA deeming. Hardly a concern, in fact they are very confident that nothing will happen at all. I pretty much got laughed at when I said I was stocking up on supplies. They didn't want to hear about it, so that was that. Guess they might be in for a rude awaking. Wish I was as confident as they were.

I have been seeing this said a lot, but, has this been confirmed as 100% true (from governmental sources) or are we still speculating/assuming when vaping related gear/eliquid is deemed a tobacco product 8/16 it will be automatically included in the online buying/shipping/receiving tobacco bans for those states that have this law?

 

[zoiDman]

...

...

Can you Site the California Law which Prohibits California Residents (21+) from receiving Nicotine, E-Liquids, Mods, Coils, etc, after 8-8-16.
