On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

[Alexander Mundy]

Just received this via email:
Dear Debi,

As of August 1st 2016 the price of Essential Depot's 4 Gallon VG and PG GlyCubes are going up by a minimum of 13% (from $39.00 to at least $44.00). As VG/PG customer I wanted to give you the chance to stock up and beat the price increases.

To order visit -> USP KOSHER Pharmaceutical Grade VG and PG - Drums and Glycubes. Glycubes only $39.00 until midnight EST Sunday

The upcoming Feb 2017 Federal E-Cig Regulations have caused a spike in sales to the 5000+ vape Shops we supply. The associated demand spike across the industry has caused VG and PG prices to go up significantly. Our manufacturer and supplier is giving us one more week to purchase at our current price. Please help keep your price as low as possible by ordering at the current price before August 1st.

Thank you again for being an Essential Depot customer.

OMG!!! Where you been???? Seems I haven't seen you in forever!!!!

Oh good! Thank you! Do you know if I will need to buy a coil building tool kit to use the prebuilt coils on my STM? All I have so far is one pair of ceramic tweezers.

The STM does come with a rebuildable deck. For THAT you would need tools- many of which you probably already have lying around the house- scissors, nail clippers, eye glass screwdrivers....that sorta stuff.

But as stated before, if all you're going to do is buy coils & pop them in, you dont need all this other stuff.

NOW getting back to the rebuildable, is that something you'd be interested in learning to do?

Yes! Absolutely. I've been reading about all these great RTAs on this thread (Kayfun, Taifun GT2, Squape R, Nebula Wine, Merlin), and I want to try some of them. I want my first step in that direction to be using the prebuilts on the STM, and then, when I'm comfy with that, I want to try my hand at building. I kind of crack myself up whenever I think of me building coils and using tools because I've never done anything like this at all. But, I want to improve the flavor of my vape and be able to continue vaping regardless what the heinous FDA has in store for us, so I am looking forward to learning how to build.

Hung out in the modding section for a long time, but been hanging out in the small vendors area for a while now since several are my friends from the modding section that have become vendors.

I started out rebuilding PT2 coils. My first real rebuildable (that I liked) was the STM RBA. It's great for learning on! There are a lot of videos to show you how. Just hit YouTube!

I've always read great things about the Coil Master 521 Tab & right now it's on sale for $24.95 (the lowest price I've ever seen). But just so you know, you don't need a meter for pre-built coils.

It's great, loved it. I eventually upgraded to the USA Ohm Meter "Fire Meter".

I highly recommend getting one.

I'll do that. Thank you. Oh yes! I have heard the STM is a great one to build -- especially for beginners. I should probably start building on the STM and then move on to some of the RTA clones I mentioned above.

I think you are thinking of my tobacco extraction posts? I have not extracted coffee, but I do have a few coffee recipes I like. On my laptop however, and hd is sleeping while I work on my phone...

I remember the 1st time you mentioned the Fire Meter & I had a look at it. The only thing I could think is you had to buy it for the quality cause for me I dont see myself spending $90 worth of time building one coil.

I learned this from a friend: Fill 1/2 of a 30 ml bottle of ground coffee. I used Cuban coffee because it's really strong.. Then top it off with PG and microwave for 10 seconds. (no longer). The Pg will absorb the coffee. Then top off again with pg, then place bottle in a hot water bath for 20 minutes. Strain mixture with a coffee filter. I used a funnel, and cut the filter to fit.

I used 3% coffee, 1% Bavarian Cream and 1% Caramel and It was the best Coffee liquid I ever had.
