Aahhhh!!!

I'm about to run out of juice!!!

I ordered some from puresmoker last Wednesday, but it hasn't arrived yet. I am leaving for the weekend on Thursday and I only have enough to get me through tonight
I sure hope it comes tomorrow.....

What do you guys do in this situation, assuming this has happened to you?

No bad feelings toward puresmoker at all. I know they are or have been dealing with moving their operation...

1) See if there's anyone in your area who might have some to spare

2) Squeeze out as much as you can from old carts

3) Run out and find some really expensive njoy carts to hold you over (if you have a supermini or penstyle)

4) Put your head between your legs and....

Ah, never mind....I won't go there

You could make your own .. it probably won't have the same flavor as you're used to, but a little glycerine and/or PG, flavor, ethanol and/or distilled water and you've got your own 0 nic juice, add some home-made tobacco juice and you've got .. juice with NIC.

There are lots of posts about making your own juice in the Tips&Tricks section.

General recommendation:
At least 70% PG or VG from your local pharmacy/craftstore
A blend of the rest, ethanol is just grain alcohol.

And there's a lot of warnings if you try to make your own nic....so just be careful if you go that route!

I'm not yet ready to make my own juice....0mg juice won't do it for me, so I'd need to add nicotine but I'm not ready to make that move. Plus I won't have time to deal with it. Good suggestion though.....in the future I will have the ingredients on hand in case of emergency.

Buying some njoy carts isn't out of the question, but I use a 901. Can I just squeeze them out? Where do I get them?

Thanks!!

Well you would be able to squeeze them out but they are quite expensive (but if you're desperate....)

They are sold at some truck stops like Pilot....and at Costco....and someone said they even saw them in Walgreens. Maybe someone else will chime in on where they can be bought in your area.

1) I've squeezed out from old carts even mixing flavors.

2) Gone ahead and used the yucky stock ones that came with the kit.

3) Stalked the mailman.

My last resort if he didn't have my package...I was going to go get a pack of analogs. Luckily he had my package.

If you can get ahold of other carts, I put them into an empty syringe and use the plunger to squeeze the juice out. HTH

Forgot...I've heard you can get a syringe from pharmacies if you don't have one. I think 18 or 20 gauge was the recommended. Or printer ink refill kits.

Are you headed towards NYC? If your order doesn't show up and you're headed my way I could give ya some liquid. I have menthol and I might part with some vanilla

 

[Bellinghamster]

Walgreen's in my area (Seattle area) carry them at about $28/5 penstyle carts.

 

[Calaban]

Thanks for all the help you guys

I'm praying my shipment comes tomorrow, but if it doesn't I have probably 20 prefilled carts lying around. The only problem is that from my very limited experience so far, prefilled carts don't last very long. On top of that, I have found that they give strong vapor and a decent throat hit but only for about the first 5-10 drags. After that they are just not that satisfying. Topping off and dripping is the perfect solution for me.

CssReb: Thanks SO MUCH for your offer. That is really generous. I won't be coming that way though.

Fingers crossed.....

So smoke em all a little then keep one or two and squeeze out the rest to get liquid for topping off.

Yes I was thinking I would squeeze them to top off, but the problem is they are all different flavors and I don't have a bunch of different bottles to keep the squeezings separate.

I suppose I could just mix them all, but I'm guessing it would taste fairly rank. Better than buying analogs though.....

 

[Momof3]

My most desperate mixed squeeze had apple, strawberry, menthol and some of whatever the carts in the kits come with. It wasn't Risky Yuice, but it wasn't the worst I've ever tasted. I've found after exclusive e-cig use for a few days, analogs have a funky moldy chemical taste. If my package hadn't come when it did, I would have bought and smoked some anyways.

Now I use the mini plastic bags from my orders for my used carts. Then when I'm doing refilling carts I do them all up into their appropriate bottles.

Homemade no nic solution certainly won't curb the nicotine addiction, BUT . . . we all know that for many of us, the nicotine is only part of the addiction. If it were just about nicotine, the patches and gum would have a success rate through the roof.

Part of the addiction is the actual smoking itself, the ritual, the inhalation into the lungs. That can be satisfied with a no nic solution and then maybe using some nicotine gum to take the edge off of things.

Haha that sounds positively foul! If I end up going that route I will basically have apple, strawberry, vanilla, chocolate, regular tobacco, coffee....blech. If I can find another small bottle by tonight I may mix the fruits in one, and the candy, tobacco, and coffee in another.

Good point Julie....I know for myself personally that *the act* of smoking is easily just as addictive as the nicotine. I think in the future I will have some no nic juice on hand, and use it in conjunction with the nicotine gum that is lying, unused, in my desk drawer.

Cal--I'm crossing my fingers that your postman brings your eliquids today.

After my first week of vaping, I realized how quickly I was going through my liquids, and I panicked. Since then, I have amassed quite a respectable stockpile. My husband asked me whether I was stocking in anticipation of the apocalypse.

Now that I've reduced my nicotine intake, I'm starting to think that if, God forbid, I should run out of eliquids with nicotine, I just might make it by vaping no nic solutions. My biggest fear is running out and then going back to analogs.

 

[Calaban]

Tragedy narrowly averted...

My shipment showed up today...whew!

Thanks for all the advice!

I know what you mean but I refuse to go back to analogs. Id smoke plain diluted glycerine before I go back to smoking analogs. Id just use nicotine gum or Snus for my nicotine fix well vaping to satisfy my hand and mouth fixation.

and by the way everyone I have been analog free for 13 days, 19 hours, and 4 minutes!!!!
