it may be a case where when customs sieze items they are gone, but from what I know checking packages is a random thing. They will pick a package randomly all others just go through, but dont quote me on this lol
Anybody else making plans to stockpile e-juice?

worse case if you can no longer get pre-made juice, make your own. I have seen youtube videos about soaking snus pouches in PG to extract the nicotine. I don't have any idea how effective or strong that would be, but as long as you can get tobacco, you can make juice. I know it kind of defeats the purpose, if you have to buy the tobacco, but I guess if you still want to vape, and can no longer get juice, that would be an option. I was wondering about shelf life of the concentrated plain nic juice too, we have a couple of bottles of it now, and have not needed to get into it yet.
I wouldn't stock pile juice, especially pre-made, it's all going to go bad on you, I've done it and it's a big waste of money in my opinion. Most premixed juice starts tasting not as good after about 8 months or so and is going bad between 8 months and 1 year from my experience. I wouldn't buy into this 2yr thing that some say it will last, IT DOESN'T therefor total waste of cash. Your much better off buying what you need for now, your pretty much always going to be able to buy liquid Nicotine and flavorings, and PG/VG in my opinion and mix your own. I wouldn't let this talk about bans scare you to much for right now, even if someday it happens you have plenty of time to buy 100mg or 50mg Nic which will last you longer than pre-made juices. When you see some of the bigger Nic sellers put out word that they wont be selling it, like, Box Elder, Levy from extemevaping.com who will always have it, then I would start to worry, as for now don't panic and don't waste your money stockpiling on stuff that is going to be bad on you in 8-12 months from now.!!!! Been there done that, total waste of cash, why do you think you see juice companies having sales on Nic at half or even a third of the price of what it cost ? simple, they want to re-up and buy fresh, get rid of juice past 90 days old. I'm doing the same thing and saving tons of money by doing it this way, I like my Nic fresh, no older then 90 days, so I buy 250ml's of 60mg Nic which I use to do my DIY with every 90days, it's your best bet.!!! Don't fall for all this crap you hear out there it's purely a marketing scam in my opinion to get people to buy more juice, don't fall for it.!!!
I've got to agree with you, mwa. I only keep about a 3 month supply and about 1/3 of that is somewhere in the steeping process. Hard sometimes especially when some of my favorites go on sale but I've recently thrown out some juice that was 1 year old. No matter what I tried just could not get it to taste right so I could use it... including adding some very stronger flavors.
I wouldn't stockpile juice, that can be made (DIY). I would, however, stockpile atomizers or carto's (200+ atties, 400 carto's). The MODS I have will last me a long long time, probably a lot longer than I will last!
I don't intentionally try to stockpile but I too have about 1 years worth of jc Just like Angus, if its something new / different that I think I like I'll buy it.
Gallon of PG, couple quarts of VG, nic juice, flavorings, ammunition. Yup ready to go.
Ammo? What am I shootin'? Lol.
Not stocking up on juice, I have plenty of DIY to make juice. Do not have plenty of atty's or carto's though. Thinking about greenhouseone or eastmall for larger stock just for the now use.
That being said, if I can no longer vape I will sell my stuff or donate. I can always go back to analogs or grow my own tobacco. If it comes to no longer vaping maybe I will just give up nicotine all together, I don't know. I just don't anticipate it happening, and there are other ways of getting nic, so no worries here.
Also, have just a few small bottles (samplers) in a ziploc bag in a closet (apartment living, no where else to put them). The closet smells of e juice, along with all clothes, shoes, blankets, other things in closet. Don't think I have a set up to store aromatic juice that is not so pleasant when all in one place.

I have 500ml/60mg unflavored and about 100ml/36mg unflavored, 200ml/18mg of already mixed various flavors and about 100 different flavorings totaling somewhere in the 1000ml neiborhood. As for PG/VG I buy it as needed locally. I did not acquire this with the intension of stockpiling. I'm just a compulsive buyer. And I always mix flavors for my friends to try.
Not counting my DIY stuff, I have about 2400ml of juice. I usually stock up when there is a good sale at one of my suppliers.
I've got about 170ml so far. Going to continue adding to it over the next couple of weeks with a lot of samplers until I can find an everyday juice. Living in NY, it's probably good that I'm ordering a lot right off the bat.
I believe you're thinking right. As long as we have nic liquid and equipment it'll always be ok to buy PG and Vg plus flavorings. I think it's best to stock up on 100mg e-liquid and buy fresh Pg or VG as time goes by because they can't regulate those or flavorings. As far as stock piling actually e-juice, I'm a bit leary. From what I understand there can be differences in the shelf life of different flavorings depending on what they're made of. I'm buying a couple months worth of the nic each month and am keeping a close watch on what's happening with the government. The minute I think we've lost I'll order as much more as I'll need for 2 years. It's too bad you can't freeze the stuff!
