    Are you done stocking up?

    I stopped buying retail eliquid within a few weeks of starting 5 years ago. Next step was mail order in 240 ml bottles. In a few more months I was mixing to save the money. A vape shop is a service where you can try before you buy. You pay a high premium for that service but apparently there...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I do the same. My first shipment of mixing supplies included an all-in-one from Capella. There were scare stories about flavors going around back then so I experimented with what minimum flavor was sufficient. Turned out to be 1%. At that low percent there's no palette fatigue so that's all...

    Who here is not stocking up in preparation for the May 12th, 2020 Deadline?

    Thanks. So the diligent nic supplier needs to figure how to qualify the customers? Slightly different angle, the law gives a pass if a product is substantially equivilent to something that existed before a date (2007?). I'm sure there were nicotine inhalers before that year from the pharma...

    SO - What is going to happen ?

    I go to the doc and complain about a grouchy hip joint, a long standing issue that had only become noticable in recent years. Xray shows a condition. Doc offers pain killers even though I didn't ask for that. I say, hell no. Didn't go back to that doc. (Exercise nearly eliminates the...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I got a package yesterday with mostly spare parts from Fasttech to support my atomizers. I'm sure I have more than enough of everything except I'm waiting on one more package with pre-coiled wires. They are pennies each so may be worth switching away from rolling my own. After that I'm not...

    My understanding is vape manufacturers in the US can continue too manufacture but without the PTMA it may only be exported, not sold at retail in the US. Manufacturers need inputs. If they can't buy nicotine the PTMA application is not worthwhile. Who will submit the PTMA for nicotine when it...

    Today nicotine in many concentrations including 100% pure is available for sale. Will that be true after May 20th? I don't know. In the mean time nic is so cheap to buy and has such a long shelf life, if stored properly, the practical thing to do is buy enough for 10 - 20 years and be done...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Most of my stash is new in the box. The mods will stay that way until I'm more certain I won't have a source for products. Then I'll upgrade firmware. When an item is brand new to me I do some testing and if I like it get several more. I've spent more time deciding what to buy than buying...

    New to Vaping, want to know how to improve MTL Throat Hits

    My experience is the best throat hit comes from fresh wick and wire. I dry burn and rewick about once a week and replace the coil about once a month, assuming continuous use. Rebuilding makes this more practical. It helps that I use very minimal flavoring with no sweeteners, less prone to...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I am more of a cheapskate than you. So far I buy one of something to see if I like it enough to own multiples. I figure the price I paid for one includes the cost of having several plus spare glass, etc. So I didn't pay $25 for the Vandy Vape mod plus FT atomizer. I actually paid $75 because...

    Picture of Your Setup Part 3!

    I've got one too (see above). Like it a lot. Mod $20, atomizer $4.75, delivered. Finally I have my first squonker that works and it has TC which I use and it seems to be a good chip. It's a bit bigger than I prefer but I was never going to pay $50+ for a squonker.

    making laws is one thing, enforcing them is another. There have been laws about children possessing tobacco for a hundred years and how well are they enforced? They might pay a little more attention this time because vaping cuts into their money and we know they don't like that. The police will...

    Florida Vaping Bans

    Thanks for pointing that out. I'm thinking the more time that goes by maybe the Panic will settle down. How do we just delay them for a while?

    SO - What is going to happen ?

    thanks for posting the link to Global sales. America appears to be half of global sales but it isn't quite that simple. A substantial percentage of that is going to be domestically-produced e-liquid. So the Chinese manufacturers aren't quite as dependent on the US market as that chart makes it...

    Florida Vaping Bans

    I read the bill. There is no vaping or smoking within 1000 feet of a school unless you were in a car or on private property. There are schools around me but I wouldn't know how far away they are. I don't think I would move to a state where I can't mail order products unless that was true in...

    One year veteran, looking into DIY

    As mentioned above, get some nic in the freezer. Decide what to do with it later.

    One year veteran, looking into DIY

    When I ordered my first supplies I included a couple of all-in-one flavors, meaning the mix is already done. The winner was Cuppacino by Capella. I discovered only 1% was needed. Don't bother with recipies until you've proved to yourself you can make liquid you like. An even more cautious...

    Get some nic properly packaged and in to the freezer.

    Are you done stocking up?

    Similar to others I don't have regrets about what I've spent. A couple of pods won't get much use but there was only one way to find out. I seem to be adjusting to more diversity of hardware so may be I don't need many duplicates. The thing I've successfully resisted so far is jumping down...
