I walked into heartland vapes yesterday to buy nicotine.. Sadly they have started lay-offs. Vape hate is impacting them
I'm confused. I've been expecting a buying panic for nic and not noticing it so far. Nothing restricts a business like Heartland from shipping their product, for now. How can they not be busier than usual because of vapers finally getting serious about stocking up?

In the meantime I'm close to pulling the trigger on an FT order. I'm still shopping for MTL squonk atomizers. Anyone have favorites that FT is carrying right now?

Does anyone have an Innokin isub tank? Are these coils compatible with the Zenith?
Someone probably already answered, but no. I found out the hard way... tried to put an isub coil in a zenith one a.m pre-coffee :facepalm:.

Take a look at the Hadaly clone I got the SXK ones from Fasttech. Cheap and easy to restrict down to MTL. Easy to build single coil setup with excellent flavor (to restrict it turn the cap to partially block sirflow) Comes with a squonk pin but you will have to install it
$11.58 SXK Hadaly Styled RDA Rebuildable Dripping Atomizer - stainless steel / 22mm diameter at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

    Somewhere between here and there
    They're bottles of all the flavorings you would need to make juice except for the nic, vg and pg. They are super concentrated flavors. Instead of having to add several flavors to make a single juice, you just add the one shot, plus the vg, pg and nic. They are made by several different manufacturers, including One Stop DIY Shop, Molinberry, Wonder Flavors, and Chef's Flavors. I've bought some from Gremlin DIY (Wonder Flavours), Liquid Barn Tastemaker Collection - The Best eJuice One Shot concentrates!, One Stop DIY Shop (10 ml (Sample Size)) ( 10 ml (Sample Size)), Wizard Labs ( (One Shot Concentrates) and Bull City Flavors, (Concentrated Flavoring - Brands - Molinberry - Bull City Flavors). I haven't bought any from Chef's Flavors, but they look fantastic. I'll have to try them soon.

    Chefs has a mind boggling amount of one shots to choose from. I’ve tried four so far. Of those, rhubarb custard is my favorite.

    Thanks. Based on Rossums findings and the fact that I want to be able to see my nic at a glace, I decided on one thing for sure - I'm gong with clear bottles.
    That will work,... just throw a sock over it for padding, and darkness.

    stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
    Okay, that decided me. I've been waffling over whether to buy one more liter, especially right now before Christmas. I could probably stretch what I have to last. But this sounds like Heartland sees the writing on the wall and may not be in business much longer. Maybe this is a going out of business sale? I don't know. But I just ordered that liter. Better safe than sorry.
    Fwiw.. Heartland vaped is not some small hole in the wall as I expected..they have a rather large warehouse. I saw quite a few employees when I was there.. We chatted..they mentioned they had to lay off people.. My guesstimate is they now have 15+/- employees.. But vape hate is impacting them

    Freezer jars would be best for something that is going to expand when frozen. Nic does not freeze solid, so it's not a concern. The regular jars work just fine.
    Agreed.. I bought the freezer jars only because they were available for nearly the same price and for me it was practical because as they empty I gain a freezer safe jar.

    Think about many vape shops who made their own ejuice suddenly having to stop because of local lawmakers/governors.. That likely cuts into their wholesale biz... I wouldn't doubt it also makes other vape shops recalculate how much nicotine they want to keep on site as they have to rethink their own government views.

    Question,what do you use to take away the "harshness" while vaping Unflavored NIC . . . ;)
    To get rid of the "bite/harshness" in your juice, you need to change the PH some.
    This is what I have used for years, it's cheap, and last for forever.
    In the First Aid section of the pharmacy, pick up some .9% Saline (Wound Wash/Flush).
    It's used to clean/flush out open wounds .. safe for a baby.
    It's pure sterile water with .9% saline solution, and comes in a spray can.
    It comes out of the can in a stream that is easy to direct into a dripper bottle.

    I add about 1 drop per 2ml. to my juice. It can vary.
    It brings out the flavor (just like salt does in cooking), ... it smooth's out the harshness (maybe the bitterness you pick up on), .. and blends the flavors together.
    It works especially good with fruits and chocolates.
    You will not taste any salt, as it's super mild.
    It will "brighten" the flavor of the fruit, but I find it doesn't help banana :p

    There is also a saline solution you spray/inhale up your nose ..but that's the wrong one.
    It has added ingredients.

    You want the one without anything in it except the .09 saline and water, that is used to clean wounds.
    Have fun experimenting.

    They supply commercial mixers. With PMTAs being due just 5 months away, I'm sure commercial mixers that don't plan to submit PMTAs are winding down production.

    I've been mixing for most of the years I've been vaping. I started with Cupacino by Capella. In those days there were flavor scare stories so I experimented with the minimum flavoring and found 1% was sufficient and I found, at that low level, there is no palate fatigue so I only vape that mix. Makes vape life a lot simpler. I consume 200 ml per month so mix every 1-2 months. Another nice thing is my cost of ingredients is 1 cent per ml, about $25 a year.

    It's still hard to understand how the nic suppliers aren't busy. Are most vapers really that helpless? But I will say conversations with co-workers about mixing and stockpiling were a waste of breath. Haven't been working for a while so don't know what I'd hear today, in Michigan.

    It's now possible to buy marijuana products for recreational use in Michigan as of a couple weeks ago but there are only a couple of shops open for that and they are in one city. It's interesting to listen to customers saying how nice it is to be able to buy legally.

    Yup. Before deeming regulation reared it's ugly head, heartland also used to bottle/label "house" juices for stores, online and B&M. Imagine the amount of biz they lost over that.
