    Vape Shops suing to lift bans. Why?

    Nothing can be said with confidence because the authority given to the FDA amounts to absolute power, which, usually corrupts absolutely. They can change the ground rules any time for any reason, break any promise, revise any guideline. I would abolish the FDA tomorrow if I could, tear down...

    Are you done stocking up?

    An "all stocked up, what now?" thread would be interesting and vapers would stop buy to ask what you think is all stocked up. The problem is you'd have to promise that you aren't buying even more stuff even after you're all stocked up and I bet there's no honest person here who would make that...

    Are you done stocking up?

    My mixing safety tips, protective goggles, available in any hardware store. Eventually you may be so comfortable you forget to wear them but still a good idea. Have a "spill kit" at hand. That means a situation where you spill a bunch of liquid and need to clean it up safely. The usual, mop...

    Are you done stocking up?

    So I carefully tracked ml for some days. I haven't been working for some months. (Another term for that is retired.) Now I can vape at will. Am I consuming more? Turns out I'm a very steady 7 ml at 12 mg. It's as predictable as cigarettes back in the day. I'm good for the planned 20+...

    Jail time or punishment

    I think it's safe to say that even our most corrupt government officials know better than to turn millions of people into criminals with the stroke of a pen. None of the executive orders or proposed legislation comes close to doing that with the possible exception of sanctions on kids in...

    Study reports first evidence of biological changes related to e-cig use in never-smokers

    My rule is I ignore research unless, or until, Dr. F critiques it. There are plenty of science whores who will find what ever you're willing to pay for.

    Stuck on same juice for 2 years

    When I started vaping 5 years ago the anti vape crowd was trying to spook us about flavors. So when I started DIY I tested to see the minimum amount of flavor it would take to cover the the taste of the other ingredients. Turned out to be 1% Capucino by Capella. A bonus is my palate never...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Call me the lazy vaper. Lately I mix 2 200 ml bottles in a session and thinking of going higher. I have only ever vaped one flavor (at 1%). Simplifies things a lot. I wonder at myself sometimes, why I'm so fascinated with defying government's disapproval of my vaping. May be it's the rebel...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I've discovered I'm very consistant, 7 ml of 12 mg nic per day = 84 mg. A 1 liter bottle of 100 mg has 100,000 mg of nic so 100,000 / 84 then divided by 365 days. I just did that calculation. If I stayed at 7 ml I'm good for 22 years. The target was 20.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I put my 1 liter glass long term storage bottles in a zip lock bag, wrap with bubble wrap and put that in another zip lock bag. In the bag goes the invoice to document the contents. I believe the primary risk is a bottle gets dropped and breaks. If one off the zip lock bags survives the break...

    Are you done stocking up?

    What I do to minimize contact with air is decant to a 1 liter bottle for long term storage. When it's time to open the bottle I decant it to 4 250 ml bottles and mix from those. I've been through a couple of cycles. The nic has has been clear going in to the small bottles and remained clear...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I'm quite sure Temco is a distributor. Very unlikely they actually own equipment for manufacturing wire since they have such a wide variety. The wires we use have existed long before vaping. The small stainless wire is probably mostly sold for welding. I buy Temco because I trust they have...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Most any place that does electronics should be able to replace permanent batteries. It's hard to imagine what can be done beyond that.

    Are you done stocking up?

    Our approach is similar. What sellers have the things you are looking for. Up to now almost all my hardware comes from Fastech.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I believe Feds are looking for smuggled opoids and prefilled marijuana cartos, not the vaping hardware we buy. It's possible that the Feds won't shut down access to nicotine concentrate and US customs won't try to intercept consumer packages with vape gear. I don't think those would be...

    This News agency says illness caused by flavors... smh

    What seems to be going on is governments hope marijuana will be the next cash cow but they get greedy, taxes too high so Black Market. The vapable product is expensive material before a tax so the underground guys try to cut it with things that turn out to be bad news. Governments think may be...

    This News agency says illness caused by flavors... smh

    A lot of kids education is to exercise brain pathways that need to be developed. Math is huge for that, so is reading. I buy Samsung Note phones because the pen lets me hand write more which is also good for trhe brain.

    old coils = bad taste?

    Everybody puts different stresses on builds. I typically like fresh cotton twice a week and new coil every 2-3 weeks assuming the build is in continuous service. I find a clean or new coil has more snap crackle pop than a seasoned coil. I like the lively firing for better throat hit.

    Are you done stocking up?

    Objectively I have the stash I planned for, and more, if I count devices in service. I might get some more hardware, for fun, not the stash. I'm tempted to wait for things I really want at distressed prices but I wonder if the market will slow enough to persuade online sellers to reduce...

    Are you done stocking up?

    States could make a law banning rolled cigarettes. People could still buy loose tobacco and papers. Fewer cigarettes would be smoked. But then I'd want vape stuff to be freely available.
