    Greetings

    Welcome! A lot of us are accidental vapers; for instance, I tried it solely to save money. A couple of weeks in, and wow! I was able to quit the cigarettes. I learned SO MUCH here on ECF, and I encourage you to search the archives and ask your questions. It's a pretty courteous community...

    The NuThouse - Nicoticket Refugees

    Megan - Somehow I missed this message when it first appeared. (I'm not on ECF as much as I used to be...) Anyway, I work in the low vision field, and there may be some software that could help you navigate the online world more comfortably. Feel free to DM me -- or to contact the Colorado...

    The NuThouse - Nicoticket Refugees

    I've got 2-1/2 60s of Wakonda left - then it's probably totally unflavored for me. NicoTicket got me off cigarettes, and nothing else seems as good. Meanwhile, I've got a several 60 ml bottles that I received as "freebies" that are of no interest to me: Strawnilla, GCD, and I think...

    The NuThouse - Nicoticket Refugees

    I never was a big poster, but I just wanted to say that it's so good to see some of my favorite NuThouse folks still hanging out! You all were way more experienced than me, and I appreciate how oh, so kind y'all were / are / ever will be! I'm so glad that the community didn't completely die...

    One. Last. Sale. The rest of it goes to China...

    I actually went to the NT site, thinking of using up some of those soon-to-be useless gold coins. But-- the end is near, no matter how I play it, and I'm gonna have to face it someday. So I let them go, for some other soul who might not have *any* Wakonda on hand. Still, so awfully sad to...

    One. Last. Sale. The rest of it goes to China...

    Aw, chili, this countdown is just so darn depressing. I'm really not sure how to handle a world with no Wakonda.

    Just curious about that banner

    Yes, I'm just curious, but when the NT forum shuts down, does my lovely, inspiring signature banner go away? I remember the bribe that lured me into trying the banner: get a free 15ml sample if you use the banner in your signature. Cool, I thought. I'll just scoop up an extra flavor to try...

    Who said the FDA is a Tool of BP?

    Thanks much for your thoughts. Sorry to hear about your troubles with SSI. Fortunately, after a return to our home town, hubby went back to his former employer and a job he is dang good at, and is working now. But yeah, still taking meds for the rest of his life. I work with folks with...

    Who said the FDA is a Tool of BP?

    Chantix is a kind of a big deal here in my house. Because in late 2008/early 2009, my husband used Chantix to quit smoking. It worked well in that he found it easy to quit smoking after some 30 years. It did not work well in that he had a seizure in 2009, and it changed our lives. Back...

    OMG! Our favorites are back!

    Thanks so much for the alert, chili!

    When it all goes down...

    I've been speechless since the announcement that NT is going away. For a long time, I pretended that I hadn't really read that email, forum post, or other announcements that told me that my only juice source was shutting down. I certainly understand that the *!*!@# FDA regs have made life...

    one week without a cigarette

    Congratulations! In my experience, the next two weeks are the hardest. I wasn't prepared for the moment my battery died AND I HAD NO BACKUP! Cigarettes were available everywhere, but a battery for my device - not so much. Make sure you have a backup (and a backup for you backup) and you're...

    Sad news

    I'm not sure how they track this (transparent government is not really a PA thing) but did you notice this: "Possession of more than one carton of unmarked cigarettes can result in a $300 fine and imprisonment. Willful evasion of the state's cigarette tax can lead to five years in prison and...

    When it all goes down...

    Oh, this makes me so sad. Virus - the liquid that got me off cigs. Wakonda - the liquid the powers my days. After much disappointment with other juices, I only buy NT. I truly can't imagine this company and these flavors going away. So, so sad to even think of a world without Nicoticket...

    Updated!! Pennsylvania: 40% tax = game over for vape

    That's my understanding, too, but I can understand vendors who are concerned that somehow they might end up footing the delightful 40% bill.

    Sad news

    Jeez, I always pay that dang online tax! On most things, it's much less than 40%, and other than vape supplies, I'm a pretty light online shopper. I'm not sure how hard the state willl try to find online vaping sales, but since they're worth more tax dollars than books on Amazon or shoes at...

    For how many years have you stocked up

    Wow, I feel so inadequate! I bought enough for a year before 8/1 (when 40% taxes hit in PA). One reason was finances, but also, I figure if things don't change in a year, vaping will be so out-in-left-field that I'll feel like a pariah every time I use a vaporizer in public. And yeah, I...

    List of vendors Age Verification requirements.

    Wow. My experience in early July was similar, and yet so much more positive. Vaporbeast sent me an email saying I needed to send verification because I'd not used my complete name (yes, during my order, I got tired of typing and used my first initial, rather than my full name.) I called them...

    Updated!! Pennsylvania: 40% tax = game over for vape

    Kind of confused then by all the "I assume the vendor has paid the taxes" stuff I saw in posts after that. (Like the one I replied to.) On the other hand, I'm on my second bottle of wine tonight, so that may explain things.

    Updated!! Pennsylvania: 40% tax = game over for vape

    PA has had an "online tax" for years now. It's on the PA income tax form. It does not assume the online vendor has paid the taxes since most of them, including that giant Amazon, do not pay state taxes. You, my online-buyer friend, must calculate your own taxes and pay them on your PA-40 by...
