Summary: If the leaked document is indicative of the final regs, the industry as we know it will be given a death sentence.
Document: tveca.com/tveca_docs/industry_guide_draft_tveca.pdf
Thread: TVECA post table of contents for Deeming Final Rule

No, I actually haven't read this. Nor do I intend to. I won't say I'd NEVER bother to read a government document, but you'd have to pay me for sure. The Bible is full of stupid rules also, and I don't read that nonsense either.

And I think it silly to respond to this with fear, or even the slightest bit of concern. It is only the general sheep-like trained response of default obedience that lets this criminal cartel continue to think it has any say over our lives. Do you really think they could enforce this? Of course not.

I'm just tired of making, bottling and shipping e-liquid. Just tired of it. This "challenge" almost, but not quite, makes me want to stay in the game just to give an example of how to ignore the royal parade of criminal authoritarians.

(I got through that without using any expletives!)

Ah well.

Well, I had to register to comment on this. I'm crushed to see the news that wholecig is moving on, though I certainly wish you the best. I can safely say I never would have quit cigarettes if it wasn't for your product. Just got my most recent order in on monday (very excited about trying Turkish Blend). I guess I'll have to place another this week before you close up shop and stock up on the DIY base while I still can. I'm going to be lost without that stuff. Thanks for everything, jfresh!

Thanks for the kind words. I'd very much like to reassure everyone that the company will continue on without me, but that's not yet a certainty. I do have a friend with a genuine interest...but so far it's just discussion. I'm asking a very reasonable price, basically the cost of our equipment, webhosting, domains, etc...and I'm thinking of holding onto 10% in case his marketing and sales drive turns this into the multi-million dollar company it ought to be (you never know...I really have done practically nothing on that front). He's very interested and is going to sit in on the next production round...see what he's in for work-wise. We'll hope for the best.

Although I would much rather not have "You" leave the business, especially since I just started using "WholeCigs WTA" - Glad to read that things are moving along for Ya' . . . Just remember to let "Us" know what has been decided . . . More importantly, if perchance the "Shop" is going to close doors permanently, Ya' let "Us" know so "We" can at least put in an order . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

Here, here - can't get enough of your Turkish blend! Well worth the wait. I'd rather vape this than smoke a pipe.

Excellent! Glad you're enjoying it!

By all means, please review it on the site! You'd be the first Turkish Blend review!

Thanks! (It is pretty swell. I like it as well.)_

:)

I've been vaping the Turkish Blend for a week now and this is really great stuff. It may be the closest thing to smoking a cigarette on the market, especially great after eating! Nice flavor that isn't overpowering and doesn't call attention to itself. Just sort of feels comforting. It's also a very light juice by NET standards so it's really easy on my tanks. By comparison, I usually vape a 50/50 mix of the DIY base and Goodejuice NETs and that gums up my tanks much faster. I'm definitely impressed.

Also still have a fresh bottle of American Cigarette waiting to try. I've had it before but it was back when I was still smoking so I want to see how my initial impressions might have changed now that I can taste again. I wasn't a big fan of the flavor the first time around, but this was my first exposure to WTA and it was the first time I saw vaping as a viable alternative. Before trying WTA, I just went through one juice after another thinking, 'this isn't going to work'. This juice changed my mind so I'm looking forward to reevaluating it.

Still need to order more DIY base... I'm looking to get a 240 ml bottle so I was wondering if wholecig might be having any sales coming up that I should wait for?

Yes! Having a sale as soon as I'm all caught up. Probably late Monday or Tuesday.

Oops...going to get the sale going this evening. Newsletter forthcoming, but you can go ahead and use code: SEASONAL for 15% off all products under the "products" tab. Sale does not apply to Bulk/Wholesale orders. I'll set the code to last till Dec. 15, which should give me ample time to get everything out a week or so before Christmas...I'm probably going to give myself a couple weeks vacation around Christmas time. Been considering the possibility of finding a bottling partner, perhaps a shipper as well...those are the parts of the business that exhaust and overwhelm me. The production side is really no big problem.

Everyone's support and appreciation has given me the motivation to try to find a way to make it work going forward. A real vacation will probably work wonders, I'm thinking.

Fantastic! Thanks for the Seasonal discount!
Your idea of finding help is a great idea. Good luck. That would be good for everybody.
But most of all, enjoy your vacation! And thanks for being there for us.

I think your idea of finding a botler and shipper is great. A lot of companies seem to be doing that. A vacation will help too. Time flies when your having fun. I spaced on your sale and missed it!

Just an update.

Sorry, but I'm just getting back into the swing of things. Mainly was waiting on VG and bottles I failed to order before taking the break. My mistake. I know some of you have been waiting for weeks. I should be getting caught up in the next few days.

Well, after much consideration, I have decided to close up shop. I'm in discussions about selling the business, and would welcome further discussion with anyone interested, but regardless, I'm done.

I've got a batch and a half of tobacco left, so about a week, I'm thinking. Of course, I'll have to be update the "in stock" items several times, so check back if something is out of stock that you'd like to purchase.

Just realized I'll never have a moment's peace till I follow what resonates for me, and this no longer does.

:)
