So happy to see that VTA filed a lawsuit against the NY mess. Yay, here is hoping for good results.
I went to the post office today to pif a few flavors of ejuice out,,Mike is the main postal worker for years,,, real nice and smart,,, he asks what I'm shipping I tell him soap samples,, he says ok its eliquid soap. Smiles and moves along with the process. He says have you gotten everything you need from China? Yeah everything I need I have but little things pop up that get my attention. Well yesterday he says his boss is talking & expects a sudden halt to all chinese mail.. he said there is something in the news a week or so ago,,, but this is dif. Told him my last package is due Friday.
Oh dear this is not good! Hurry up boat!
I'll worry about the bottles later. Just ordered 6L of 100 mg/ml. That puts me at enough nic to last me to about 92 years old. And my Dad has 4L of nic at his house, though it's STILL not in his freezer.
Wow that's all it takes to put me into a spending frenzy. Pulled the trigger on those 6L the moment I read this. Now I'm starting to wonder if I should order those ~96 boxes of coils.

All the vendors are at least seeing a big bump in sales for now. It might help them better afford to deal with what's ahead while lowering the inventory they have to liquidate.
This all remains ridiculuous and harmful.

OH! You just reminded me that my Mom has all kinds of vape things at her house that I bought her 7 years ago when I started vaping. She didn’t like vaping and still smokes. I think they were egos though but still. I need to ask her if she still has everything and I’ll take it off her hands.
It would be a good back up for me at least.
I have done the calculation for the amount of flavors I need for 2years,,(@10% @ 30mls/day) I will go ahead and buy it this week. Yesterday I started adapting myself to 5%flavoring instead of 10%,,, that went better than I expected... So that would put me at 4 years of flavoring,,, and even more if I can bring down my daily consumption of finished eliquid. I can vape zero flavor,, but my goal is to get myself down to about 2-3%,,, or maybe just a single flavor instead of the 6 flavor recipe I have now. Save the flavor vaping for chilling at home,,, no flavor out in public to avoid attention
Most of the time when I go out now I don't bring a PV with me anymore. I bring a little child-safe, locking, travel-sized tylenol bottle with DIY altoids nicotine mints in it. No one knows what they are, and I think it's funny. I figure I'm either being seen to be eating a mint, or popping a pill. Crazy that pill popping is a more socially acceptable behavior than vaping nicotine, but it seems that is the case now.
I'm vacillating between feelings on all this right now..
I'm very content with what I have now in my stash for my husband and i.. It's not extravagant, but it's sufficient for our needs..
Yet the way my life has gone, one of two things will happen next..absolutely nothing will happen and I will own all this for no real reason other than I like it and I vape, Or, I'm about to die and will thus have no need for any of it... lol.
That's the Murphy's law of my life.. lol.
If 2020 comes and makes vaping the way we have come to know and love it extinct, and I don't die then God really really just gave me the gift of having the time I needed to get what I needed.
So.. If 2020 comes and vaping as we know it becomes extinct overnight, watch for my obit.. or thank God... one of the two - or both!
haha
My mom has been on the nicotine lozenge for coming on 6 years now. Tried to get her to vape but she says shes "allergic" to it.
Do you mind sharing how you make your mints? At first I imagined you in the kitchen making candy with nic,,, but then i wondered if you were soaking hard mints in nic.
Has anyone ever used Vape Sourcing before? They're having a 30-70% clearance sale and I'm seeing a bunch of really good prices. But I've never ordered from them before, so a little leery.
I did, once.. I think it was 2 or 3 months before I actually got my purchase..
By the end I wished I had sprung the extra dollars for a seller that could actually get the product to me..
Fasttech is 100x faster, if that tells you anything..
I use a needle-tipped plastic 50mL bottle to dispense my nicotine for mixing. I counted the drops it takes to reach 1 mL of liquid by weight on my scale. In my case it was 66 drops per mL. It will vary based on what bottle, tip, and which base your nicotine is suspended in (eg. vegetable glycerine forms a larger drop than propylene glycol).
I'm using 100 mg PG nicotine. I divided 100 by 66 and it came out to 1.1515~ mg per drop on average. I'm sure there is some variation, but it doesn't matter much to me.
I open an altoids tin and spread the mints out in a tupperware container flat. Then I put one drop on each mint. Let it sit out overnight to fully absorb the nicotine (even though it might not be necessary, the nicotine solution looks mostly absorbed in less than an hour). The next day I put the mints away.
Your drop/mL measurements or nicotine strength may be different, or you might want a different strength of nicotine/mint. I only use one drop and it works good, not sure if more liquid would still absorb. It might be worth diluting your nicotine and trying it a lower strength, then working up from there in small increments.
The mints takes some getting used to, try not to chew them or suck on them, it works best for me to leave them under my tongue. Swallowing saliva that has too much nic in it makes me hiccup, and is a little harsh. After I got the use down right, they work great for me.
Never leave them where anyone, especially children, can access them, and always put them in a child safe container. I like the one I use because it looks ugly, very unnatractive, and is old and worn out, and it has a child lock cap on it. Also it's waterproof and small enough for me to keep in my pocket.
As always, try at your own risk, just my opinion, be safe, etc.

Kinda freaked out with @Baditude 's post.
In the past week I've ordered:
A freezer
6L of nicotine
2 more Geekvape Solo kits (I got my camo today not on sale)
6 Steam Crave Aromamizer RTAs
4 Top Tank Clones
An Aegis Legend
22 boxes of Top Tank OCC coils
3 boxes of TFV12 coils
20 boxes of Cerberus mesh coils
2 different Geekvape Zeus RTAs
Add that to my 2016 stash still sitting at my Mom and Dad's. Gonna have Dad ship me my coil building box so I can get started back up with builds and hopefully keep the coils just for walking around.
Still don't feel stocked up but if they hit the light switch tomorrow I'd be fine for 40-50 years.
Could use some more dual battery mods. We'll see how things shake out here and maybe I'll actually start waiting for some codes again.
