Are you done stocking up?

[JCinFLA]

Technically it is not a law yet... so I think they will hold out.

I didn't see any mention about it even being proposed as a law, in the article. I did see these statements, which seem like requests only, to me.

"China issued its starkest warning yet over electronic cigarettes, calling on the industry on Friday to stop selling and advertising the products online.

Citing health concerns for minors, a Chinese regulator and the state tobacco monopoly jointly urged manufacturers and sellers to shut down websites related to the marketing and sale of e-cigarettes, in what could amount to an effective ban."

Even if/when Chinese companies quit selling and advertising vaping items online, vendors in the US and elsewhere can still buy and get them from China for resale online...as they've been doing for years. They don't buy their stock in quantity online. They place orders directly from their Chinese suppliers. There was no mention of requesting or urging the stopping of that kind of sales. Just my though.

Of course, the above will likely change for US vendors come May. But, that would be because of the FDA garbage.

Yeah, my wife doesn't complain. She's glad I don't stink. Or cough. And that I'm better in bed.

But that doesn't mean she understands me vaping. She quit cold turkey after my mother died of lung cancer, almost 20 years ago, so she always wondered why I didn't. I've never spent that much. But I'm going to have to tell her this weekend to expect some new charges on the card, and that they're not fraud. And I'll tell her, as much as she can understand it, why.

Thankfully, it won't take much more to get me set. Another $50 or so in nic. Maybe another couple hundred or so in more atties & mods. It'll make me comfortable for the next 20+ years. Maybe that won't be long enough, but if all my stock goes to hell, well....I was gonna quit anyway. Never intended to vape long. I'll take it as a sign, and just quit. Hell, I might decide to quit as soon as FT & others get me all my stuff. Been kicking it around anyway, but I damn sure don't want to quit because "they" made me.

I’ve thought a lot about if I decided to quit. I think I could find someone to buy all my stuff in one bundle for the right price. I quit this spring for two weeks. I wanted to be done so bad but I started back. I don’t think it’s the nic but just the hand to mouth.

I don't think I could quit vaping anymore than I could quit smoking. Its very much a hand to mouth thing for me an oral fixation I suppose. True story my mother took me away from the breast to bottle feed me and it didnt go well I was allergic to formula and it took months to find one that I could tolerate and she couldnt go back. Its possibly preverbal trauma. LOL Ive tried therapy, hypnosis, pills, lozenges, patches, gum, lollipops and pacifiers even everything, only vaping got me off the smokes. At least its better. Im down to 3 mg nic and I am considering going lower maybe to 0 to test out this theory.

Remember also that with the flavor ban reportedly coming down next week at the national level many vendors will not be able to stay in business.

How is your doggy friend doing?

He is good and vet knocked 200 off the bill. Thanks for asking.

There will be a federal lawsuit with an injunction quickly watch.

 

[Terri McVeety]

I have never signed for vape gear/any supplies including nicotine in Texas,,, it must be a vender thing

Me too, only ejuice.com and vapertek

 

[Myrany]

There will be a federal lawsuit with an injunction quickly watch.

Assuming we get the injunction. We might or might not.

I might see ordering some more of the lemon killer kustard. I'm still enjoying that as my change-up vape, cut with a bit of the plain.

IMO, if that ban actually holds up against lawsuits...it'll definitely hurt hometown vape shops and the online vendors whose only or main items for sale ARE eliquids. Many are likely to close up shop because of it.

But, vendors who focus on and sell mostly lots of mods, tanks, RBAs, coils, replacement parts, batteries, etc....will continue to do well until May. They'll keep ordering & selling everything they can from Chinese suppliers, for as long as they can. I'm thinking of US vendors like VapeNW, Eight Vape, KangerWholesaleUSA, My Freedom Smokes, Ejuices, Ecig City, Element Vape, VaporDNA, etc. Popular overseas vendors like Creme de Vape, JAC Vapour, and others likely will, too, IMO.

Until they ban the USPS from shipping vape gear as I read in another thread there is a house bill for

i have the recipe for the original killer kustard so I’m going to make it tomorrow. It intrigues me and I think I’ll like it.

 

[bnrkwest]

I don't want to quit, hubby always says just quit, FDA is saying just use approved cessation products. I don't want to quit vaping, they are my dessert vape, those things I can't eat but can vape. No one seems to get it. So stocked I am

I’ve bought from every single one of those US vendors.

I was looking through the trial size flavors that I have. I thought they were all empty. Seems that at some point I got a whole bunch of new ones. I have a vanilla custard in there. Not sure what to do with it maybe add it to the ripe strawberry that I found I dont know.

 

[CaveFurby]

Couldn't talk you into sharing that recipe with us, could I?

You and me both.

105 pounds gone with 45 to go. I SOOOOOOO am not screwing up now!

Could you point me to it? The lemon kk should be easy as long as I have the base - it's basically adding a strong straight lemon on top.

Yep. Except I hear hand to mouth all the time. For me, getting over nic only takes a couple of days. Done it a bunch of times. But I just feel like my brain is programmed to feel that inhale, the throat hit, over and over. After 40+ years of smoking, a few years of vaping, that's what it's gotten. Millions of times. For me, that's the hardest part. The hand/mouth & ritual is part of it, but the inhale/throat hit is the main thing for me.

I do believe that vaping has a somewhat lesser hold on me than smoking did, though. And although it wouldn't be easy, it'd be easier than going straight from smoking to nothing.
