    Start at the beginning of this forum thread and read it. There are hundreds of tips from hundreds of ECF folks on all areas of vaping. That's number one. What mod and toppers you buy are going to be a personal decision. If you read the forum thread I bought from several vendors but primarily...

    I've never been involved in govt, I have not got a clue. Look at the $20 trillion dollar debt. Where did it go? SMH!

    It's been a while since I bought eliquid from any B&M here in Illinois. If I remember correctly most of the premade stuff before a vaping tax was applied was going for around $20/30ml, then the City of Chicago and Cook County both imposed taxes per ml. It's been so long that I forget what the...

    A video that I posted from Grimm Green back a page or two in this thread has him saying that a gallon of premade is already at around $2000+ per gallon in Chicago. I live in Chicago and have not bought anything locally since the taxes went in to effect in January so he may be right. I started...

    Shelf life on flavors has been estimated to be btw 2 and 5yrs. I keep everything in fridge and freezer. Freezer: nic, pg/vg in bottles Fridge: flavors

    There is some disadvantage probably but not much. Here is what is going on. What you are paying for at Nude Nicotine is for an amber glass bottle impervious to air and light, and topped off with argon gas that is inert and does not react with the nic, so there is little to NO oxidation. They...

    I'm not a lawyer and I don't know if you can do that. I don't know why not, but some law firm has to prepare all the paperwork. I absolutely love your idea. I'd be willing to contribute $250. It would be worth it to end this nonsense.

    Sounds like a well thought out plan that I need to implement.

    BUY YOUR NICOTINE NOW! CHICAGO VAPE TAX: $2,000 tax per gallon of premade juice in Chicago, Illinois. Think about that. This includes all 0mg/ml, 3mg/ml, 6mg/ml, 9mg/ml, 12mg/ml, 18mg/ml, 24mg/ml premade juice. With DIY you could produce it for less than $200 ...and the tax alone in Chicago...

    .... I don't know if I'll pay the piper for this but I've got all my nic laying down in the freezer on the top tray at home. If the cap ever lets go, there will be one heck of a mess....maybe I need to rethink it. :D At my folks they are in the door and bottom basket of the freezer...

    Quick Question

    I believe you. I'm 56 and took care of my grandmother when she was in her mid 90's for three years back abt a decade ago. She lived to almost 102 and my mom took care of her for the last 5 years she was alive. Getting old is no joke. It's rough. I don't know if I'll be vaping...but this is...

    Technology is always a game changer no matter what industry you are speaking of. Nobody can see it coming. Early adopters are looked at like quacks. In 1994, after compiling and hosting versions of Mozilla web browser for a year for students and faculty at my university, I started an ISP and...

    One thing you can bank on. Nicotine and open system vape gear is not going to be any cheaper or easier to obtain in late 2018. Nicotine might be like gold.

    Quick Question

    OOPS! My tastes have somewhat changed. I don't think it sucks to get old, you just plan accordingly. I have more expensive tastes in some areas, but in others I'm no longer even interested.

    I'm no tootlepuffer either. I plan on continuing my style of vaping for at least 20yrs plus whether it is at 9mg, 12mg, or 18mg. I'll buy another 4000ml of 100mg/ml nic, but I'm not sure I'll be buying Nude Nicotine Armor v1/v2 packaged in glass and topped off with Argon gas. I think I'm...

    I don't think many have gone past 6 to 10 years, but it looks good out to there without Argon gas( as seen in Nude Nicotine Armor v1/v2), and any other treatment that might be applied by the manufacturer/retailer. That said, none of the bottles opened by anyone with nic that had been stored...

    Haven't been in too many strip clubs. There was a time when I could give you ratings on hockey gear, ice rinks, racing bicycles, archery gear, dojo's, weight training clubs, guns, gun ranges, gunsmiths, supersport motorcycles, but right now I stick to vaping and work. I've become somewhat...
