    So attached to vaping... After the ban is in effect... I dunno

    Putting a couple of liters of 100 mg nic in the freezer will improve your sleep. You don't need to start using it until your prefered alternatives aren't available. The normal market price for 100mg liter bottles is $50.

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    My home state is michigan, which has a flavor ban. "Michigan received $1.2166 billion (estimated) in revenue from tobacco settlement payments and taxes in fiscal year 2019. Of this, the state allocated $1.6 million in state funds to tobacco prevention in fiscal year 2019, 1.5% of the Centers...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I have a few mods with built in batteries (which still work). I'll hang on to them because if it comes to it I can probably find an electronic repair shop who can locate a comparable battery and install it. Today that would cost more than a new mod but we are imagining a time when there is no...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    Here is a scenario to consider. Vaping is hounded, banned, whatever, until it has almost no impact on the market. Heat sticks charge ahead and are available everywhere cigarettes are sold. The C stores and gas stations make sure kids get their cigs. When they are well addicted and caught...

    I have an original squeeze and some spare squeeze bottles from FT. A problem I'm having is restricted feed in the atomizer where if I squeeze the bottle a bit to hard liquid is forced out of the bottle into the mod. Can anyone suggest an MTL atomizer with good flow into the juice well?

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    If 13 million people repeated at every opportunity that heat sticks are smoking and unsafe that might be enough to crush the products. If government saw that as a realistic threat they might be more reasonable with vaping. No realistic taxes on vaping can come close to making up the lost...

    Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

    How about this. FDA is foot dragging to give Iqos time to come to market. As that approaches the pending regulations/restrictions put impossible business risks on vape companies. The owners start to cut and run. Iqos is already FDA approved. When it hits the market FDA and states can say...

    UHMW has the longest molecules, so long that the material has no melting point. It won't flow as liquid into molds. It can be heated and pressed into sheets or extruded. UH has more abrasion resistance per gram than steel. It's used on the beds of gravel trucks. Some times you'll see it on...

    I've got you beat, been vaping the same flavor for 4 1/2 years, Capella Cupacino at 1%. I mix it for a brother who has been doing the same. I feel lucky we aren't fussy vapers.

    Low Density Polyethylene At the other end of the spectrum is UHMW, ultra high molecular weight polyethylene, a miracle material that made me a living for some years.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I watched a video by DIY or DIE where an FDA person is being interviewed and says the FDA does not intend on interfering with things people do for personal use only. So may be flavors and nic might not be restricted by them. If true that still doesn't account for the 50 states. Then there is...

    I missed the part about the markings. PE is the soft plastic similar to what you find in a milk jug. PET is clear but brittle, may be intended for retail display. PE is what you want in a pocket.

    New York just banned flavored e-cigs, starting immediately

    I'm more and more confident the controling influence is the money. Here in Michigan, 5 years ago, I paid $3,000 to smoke a carton a week. For the past 5 years I vape 2400 ml per year, 200 ml per month. If that year supply of eliquid cost $3.000 it would work out to $1.25 per ml. A 120 ml...

    Fastech has many dropper bottles for eliquid. You want PE plastic, not PED. I've got a range of sizes for any situation. I like the round bottles with wide mouth and long tip. I also found a square bottle I use because it can't roll away. FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics $2.54 Empty Long...

    Here's another way to consider putting some nic in the freezer if you haven't already. I used to smoke a carton a week, 50 cartons a year. Now I vape 50 ml of liquid per week, 2400 ml per year. The year supply of cigs cost $3,000. Cost of ingredients for a year supply of my DIY is $25 (not a...

    New York just banned flavored e-cigs, starting immediately

    All that's needed for an individual is put a few liters of 100mg in the freezer. May be pick up a few extra mods and rebuildable atomizers. You don't have to use them unless and until they are needed. I'm in michigan. I sleep better knowing the day to day news doesn't effect me, as it hasn't...

    New York just banned flavored e-cigs, starting immediately

    Here in Michigan the ban is in force and seems to apply only to sale of flavored premixed eliquid. I believe it's legal to buy hardware and all the individual DIY ingredients in or out of state for personal use. I'm still amazed at how many vapers resist DIY. I've learned to enjoy 50/50 12mg...

    I've had poor performance from the screens on my original style Picos from Fastech. So far they are not lasting 2 years. I also found some comments that seemed well informed that said OLED screens may fade after 10 years even sitting on the shelf. With Arctic fox may be I can keep them...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Most people don't smoke or vape and their opinions are based on little or nothing so a mild challenge ends the discussion. They don't care most of the time. I've experimented with different flavors at 1% and found they work equally well at that strength. I crave texture, throat hit and nic...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I agree with you so forgive me, I have strayed. So a couple of considerations. 1. Part of my stash plan included buying more stuff if the improbable became probable. 2. I stockpiled mostly Pico's, my favorite mod to this day but it's obvious the screen life is doubtful. I'm not getting 2...
