Haven't you heard about the Comet that is Coming and is projected to Wipe Out all of China's tobacco Crop in 2015?
Anyone else preparing for the end??

Thinking outside the box...I wonder if using a Mason jar filled to the very top then place the jar is a "seal a meal"....vacuum sealed bag then store would eliminate any concern for oxygen getting in?....Too bad the jar couldn't be sealed like it is intended via pressurized steam, my mom has some green beans that I think are 40 years old now, they appear to be good still!
Whether you're a doomsday prepper or not, everyone should have at least a month of food & water per person just in case of a natural disaster or something. If not water itself, then water filters. The Life Straw is a good thing to have in an emergency also.
But I think the OP was referring to the possible FDA actions looming. Of course, the government can't do anything if the people don't go along with it. They like to pretend that they have the power - that's what Marie Antoinette thought...
Thanks for the link, it's interesting. What I don't like about Madvapes is when you start scrolling down the page, the thing at the top pops in and blocks almost half of the screen. That's why I rarely ever go to their website.
I get my nic from myfreedomsmokes.com and it comes in a brown glass bottle. I would not store it in plastic either.
This is Good Advise.
I live in California. And we are Overdue for "The Big One".
Having Bottled Water, Canned Food and a Way to Make Fire is a Must. As well as all the Other things that would go with "What to do if the Power is Out".
Flashlights, Batteries, Wrench to Turn Off the Gas, MED-Kit, etc.

I'm a Californian also, and the only thing I'm stocked up on, and continuing to stock up on is nic, and cartos. I keep 1 to 1-1/2 years supply of nic in the freezer. I guess I figure that if the "big one" hits, I'll be good. I guess I'm so used to earthquakes, I just don't think about it that much, may be sorry some day tho.
I am starting to freeze some nic, worried about the FDA but also what the states could do once there are regulations in the works. Already we've seen bills introduced to ban e-liquid in NY and other states want huge taxes on the equipment. I am getting better at making coils but have a terrible feeling all my batteries will die at the same time. We have 4 evods each using 2 with two still boxed for backup. The itastes MVP and VV/VW are mine, hubby doesn't like the size. Neither of us needs more power, I rarely go much over 4v on my MVP.
I am not interested in unregulated mods but replaceable batteries seem like something that would be good, I am just very nervous about them (I'm type of person, if someone is very late getting home, I start imaging they must have been in a terrible accident or maybe dead). As it is, I stay close charging the stuff I have feeling to see if they are warm every half hour or so while charging. I wish there was something not much bigger than itaste vv/vw with replaceable battery . My husband and I are perfectly happy with our evods, just trying to plan purchases for the next few years of use without buying stuff that will go bad sitting around. Any suggestions for longer term storage of backups and what type would be best? I'm not talking 10 years but maybe 2 to 4 years. Also, what state should a battery be in to store for a year or so, discharged, full or as they came from the retailer? I have read about battery safety, DIY, rebuilding coils to the point I feel like my brain could use a de-frag; who says an old dog can't learn new tricks!
I haven't purchased a lot knowing new improved items are released but do want to know what we could store and how best to do that. I watch legislation carefully in case we have nothing but the crumby look-alike e-cigs forced on us again, if that happened, I think all the good stuff would disappear quickly.

I would at Least throw a Case or Two of Bottled Water in the Garage. Maybe a Few Slim Jims and a Roll of Paper Towels also.

Hi DonnaLee. I'm not an expert on batteries and stuff, but I've been learning some and share your concerns. I'm looking around right now to get some solar panels w/battery backup and inverters so that even if I lose power I can still charge my batteries and have some power for other things.
There's an old rule of thumb: You can survive:
- Three minutes without air
- Three days without water
- Three weeks without food
- Three hours without nicotine
About 3.6V is best. But rechargeable lithium batteries will lose ~10% of capacity per year even if you store them under optimal conditions. This means if you're prepping for the long haul, you will need replacement batteries eventually.

As a true nic fiend, I would add:
- Three minutes without air
- Three days without water
- Three weeks without food
... and I prioritize my "preparations" accordingly.
- Three hours without nicotine
Yeah... Water is Kinda Essential. And Not Just for drinking.
When I'm Kicking Back on the Patio admiring the Smoking Rubble that used to be my House after the 9.0 Hits, it will be Nice to Have a Wet Towel to Mop my brow.
I have a mini zMax... its actually a little smaller than a itaste VV V3.0 but heavier and a little larger. It takes 18350 batteries. Here a very bad picture so get the idea:
Left is an itaste vv v3.0 with a protank 3 mini and on the right a zMax mini with an aerotank mini. Aerotank and protank are the same height so the diference are the mods.
As they come from the retailer is fine, if you already charged/cycled them, then at 50-60% is a good figure. Never store discharged nor fully charged (long term storage). Some people recommend a full discarge/charge once a year (or every 6 months). They won't last forever though even if kept in prestine conditions but I wouldn't worry with batteries... no reason to ban or tax batteries that are used in thousand of different applications.

That price is not only not in the same ballpark, I'm not sure it's even the same SPORT.

Hmm, well I can certainly agree that there is a huge price difference between $14.99 and $75, lol but I cannot agree with your assessment that these two products are not in the same ballpark and I have to call foul ball. Your comparing the price of 115ml to the price of 500ml (the price of 115 ballpark hotdogs to 500 ballpark hotdogs). Granted when you actually do the math per ml, the Nude Nicotine is a tad bit more expensive. Spending $75 on EXC will actually give you an extra 75ml compared to spending $75 on Nude. That is not really out of the ballpark at all, especially when you take into consideration what zoiDman was trying to point out. The Nude Extended Life Nicotine comes in a far superior container not to mention it is also topped of with Argon gas. The Argon gas in case you are curious is heavier than oxygen so when you top off the bottle with Argon gas you remove the ability of oxygen to degrade the nicotine you are setting aside for long term storage. In all actuality, the Nude Extended Life is an amazing deal that is practically equally comparable in price per ml that you are paying for EXC. You certainly can't go wrong buying either or, as both are top tier nicotine's but for the long term storage/stockpile inclined. Nude Extended Life should be the only option to consider.
Agreed. If you've got something that accepts a standard-sized cylindrical battery, then being able to replace the batteries is a non-worry (when it comes to regulations and taxes). That's one reason why mods based around 18650, 18490/18500 or even 18350 batteries are so popular. Trouble those 18mm diameter batteries require a mod that's bigger in girth than some people would like. Personally, I'm just fine with 18650 size mods, but I bet there's a market for svelte little regulated mod that uses a 14500, which is about the size of an AA.
