I looked through their flash sale, sale, and clearance sections and nothing caught my eye... :( Then I remembered they had ultrasonic cleaners and I had planned on getting one in the future and I struck out there too as they are all sold out. I might have to suck it up and just buy it... it's still a good deal either way.
This is similar to the cleaner I have, It works very well on about 20 minute setting.

I went ahead and got a Geekvape Blade from element vape. I had been watching it and just went ahead and got it. Now I have an even number of 20700 21700 mods. Stuff is getting sold out so fast, get it while you can :) You are being redirected...

Yep, there's no question that the effective capacity of the batteries drops at low temperatures, but there's no implication that those temperatures do any lasting damage to them. I.e. the cars' range comes back to normal at more normal temperatures.

Preparing is good, but the sky hasn't fallen (perhaps it's falling, but at government speed

)
That's the one saving grace; that statute and regulatory laws have long, drawn-out processes that they must go through.

The exception of course is the "emergency declarations" that have been issued at the state level. E.g. if a person lives in Massachusetts, they're gonna have a bad time stocking up now.

I eat once a day,, seldom any junk food,, I move a lot,, walking ,biking, yard.

I use bio hacks to get myself back inline when needed. Fasting often after eating a lot,, for me its mentally easier to fast for a few days than diet those days.

95% of the time I am less than 20 grams of carbs,,keto'ish. I try to keep my body always fat adapted,,, when you are fat adapted ,, you don't struggle much with hunger,, so fasting is easier as your body just burns fat waiting for the next meal. When I am eating normally I mostly eat meats only with as much fat as I can get,,, real butter no margerine. Olive oil over Crisco,, real cream,, etc,, cheese, eggs,, fav current snack is Pepperoni's in microwave,,
Is fat adapting part of a particular diet plan? I need to try this!!

Well, the Luna is pretty disappointing as far as pretty. :( I figured it wouldn't look like the picture, but it REALLY doesn't. Sort of kind of purple-ish, but the parts that aren't are a mix of red, blue and yellow. I'm sure it vapes fine. The perils of online buying!

I foresee nic being smuggled into the country. Think about it, 750 ml of pure nic would avoid over $20,000 in taxes. Why did I choose 750ml? Because that's a standard size for a bottle of liquor, and no customs agent give a single bottle of liquor a second glance or thought if you declare it with a nominal value on your form 6059B declaration when you re-enter the country. Buy a bottle of some local liquor while overseas. Drink it, or dump it down the drain. Fill bottle with nic and bring it back. Prof
Except that you won't find much cheaper nicotine overseas if this ridiculous tax is applied in the US. Manufacturers will raise prices, other countries will tax nicotine once they see how much cash this can generate. It's only a matter of time.
It's hard to believe this will pass. Might be the highest ever tax in history percentage wise.

Spend 2 or 3 weeks keeping your carbs below 20 grams per day,,, and most of those grams need to be eaten at the same time,, hence the eating once a day. ,, If the once a day is hard at first,, lock yourself into a time zone,,, eat first meal at 0800 of bacon and eggs but no toast,, then your last meal at 4pm,,, adjust clock as needed..

Then try to either give up the first meal or change the second meal to 0 carbs ,,, and zero carbs every day all day. I go most days zero carbs,,, but some days have small carbs. Your body is transition to fat burning instead of sugar/carbs,,, ( its ok for most people,, as we all started out eating meat only until the farmer was created by those who didn't want to travel anymore)

Basically I have talked you slowly into a carnivore lifestyle..With carnivore and low carb. You don count calories,, ie. I am allowed up to 4lbs of meat per day,,, but 1 lb suites me fine,, fills me up to no hunger. I will pan fry up a bag of shrimp in real butter & be very happy. Or I may cook a tube of charizo/ jimmy Dean sausage with 6 eggs scrambled topped with cheese, sour cream green sauce in a bowl or a low carb tortilla ( this one tends to feed me for 2 days,, 2nd day is microwave)

House ways and means passed the bill 5 days ago.

I see nothing on CASAA or in a search indicating the full House has done anything with it.

The Bill would be up for amendments when it gets scheduled for consideration.

The Bill would then have to have something passed by the Senate.

Any differences would have to be resolved between House and Senate.

The President would have to sign it.

House and Senate are hardly in "play nice" mode. Nor is the President with Congress, overall. There's external politics going on that kind of has their attention.

As written, best I can tell, effectivity would not be until 90 days after all of the above occurs.

I don't look at this as time to freak out.
Doesn't look like an eminent threat.
The scary thing about all this is that republicans and democrats seem to disagree on everything except vaping policy. Kinda makes all advocacy efforts ineffective.

Yes @Rossum I agree about the tax which is why I have about 17 liters in my freezer and one open I am using. I do not regret a single penny.

Me and the husband used to play "beat the tax" whenever we could with cigarettes, (injector machines, loose tobacco is taxed differently, and native reservations.) BTW, DIY store, Native Reservations are exempt from most Federal and many state taxes.

I agree about smuggling in the Vodka but not with the pure nic COME ON Rossum. They let you bring more than one bottle drop the percentage a bit. I don't want to die.

I went ahead with the Armor Prime buy in a similar vein.

It filled a gap (21700), at my weight target and with a plenty good enough price point. I wanted something in that battery format, not a "quasi hybrid" direct-contact 510, side fire, preferred closer to a mech

Welcome to the world of hidden taxes!
Lets try nic gum (supper easy to figure).
On Ebay today, 4mg per piece, 384 pcs. per box, cost 62.50.
So 16.3 cents ea. for 4mg of nic or 1536mg per box = 4.07 cents per mg= 4069.00 per Ltr!
Similar markups on cigs and alcohol, just harder to find the base costs.
Yes the tax will pass and deeming will fade away (my guess:confused:)

Totally possible! Would be sad though.
There was no need to play all these games. They could've enacted the tax (despite the fact that it is outrageously high) without causing all this anxiety and confusion.
But hey, there is a bright side to everything. The last 2 months were tiring, but I learned a lot. And bought a lot lol. It's like I grew 5 years in my "vaping career". I doubt I would've learned this fast without the pressure. Many are probably like me.
