Are you done stocking up?

I’m not sure why you want to belabor this.

I'm not "belaboring" anything. I'm asking questions out of curiosity as someone whose not a veteran like you or most others participating in this thread. I'm what ya call a "noob" to buying/using nic base.

I had bought from HL, and had my nic thrown - I mean literally chucked into the yard, damaging the box- over the fence by Fed Ex one time, and left outside the fence 4’ from the damn road the next time. Not cool.

I agree. FedEx ground/home can be really bad in my area, too. Heartland seems to use UPS now when you select free shipping.

Delivery seems to vary based on the local delivery staff more than anything. I've seen some people swear by FedEx, that their local UPS deliveries are bad; I've also seen the opposite reported (UPS good, FedEx bad).

Where we are, USPS/UPS/FedEx are all good with our normal drivers, but USPS with the weekend/backup driver is horrible - packages are regularly reported as delivered when they aren't, or undeliverable (though other packages were delivered that day [emoji3]), or... The only bright side is we haven't had any packages actually lost, they'll show up a day (or two) later.

I agree, it's locality dependent. We've had no issues with either FedEx or UPS here, but USPS - rural contract, not really USPS employees - leave the "attempted delivery" slip without ever attempting - as in watching them toss the slip in the mail box and drive off while we're in the driveway looking at them. Perhaps they can't see 25 feet?

Yep. But with FedEx it also depends on the service because FedEx Home/Ground (at least this was the case 7+ years ago) was a franchise and the drivers who worked for those franchises are paid way less with than real fedex drivers and not the same benefits.

I knew a driver who worked for one of those franchises and was the son of the owner of the franchise. Franchise drivers were paid considerably less for the same job as the drivers employed by Fedex. Fedex threw a heavy load at the franchises with strict time constraints. This causes shortcuts, like box-throwing. Happened to me 2 times that I am aware of.

I can't complain about USPS service in my area either, for the most part. Although there are places where USPS is considered a completely broken, unusable service, even for regular mail.

My local USPS is fantastic. The only issue I have is between where it comes from, to once it gets to town. Stuff from CA makes it directly here. Super fast. Everything due east, west or south goes scenic. It’s like you can’t get here from there lol. Anything that comes from Kentucky takes 10 days. It’s a 3.5 hour drive. Oh well it makes it, in one piece. That’s what’s important.

Yay, the SS Brunhilde MTL from Vapesourcing has shipping info [emoji106] I ordered it back on 22 Nov, but they had to restock. For the price a wait was worth it.

I have been looking for a cheaper Brunhilda to pop up.

 

[Pigs]

I don't own P67s. I have 2 standards, 1 woodvill and 2 low profiles. I could build multiple new REOs with the spare parts I have available to put into the old bodies. REO stuff I have been stocking since 2013 then add in the going out of business sale was a huge boon for me. LOL

You're set for 2 lifetimes.
Also I wonder if some smart person bought the lot from Eric and Cindy after they closed and new old stock might start filtering on to the market some time in the future. They could ask big dollars for new Reos then.

CVDBRUN at vaporl gets it to $24, though there's then shipping.

Last Order sent 10/29 at 5:12 PM via UPS only took 3 days arrived 11/01 at 2:06 PM . . . 2nd HL Order on the 13th at approximately 11:00 PM . . . Got notice it shipped this morning at 5:26 AM . . . Sent via DHL - Free Shipping . . . We'll see how fast it gets here . . . Just Sayin' . . .

OKAY - Just got "My" Heartland Vapes order that was placed 12/13 via UPS Ground (not DHL - as I was first infromed) at 11:07 AM EST this morning . . . That was 2 1/2 days in total from order to delivery . . .

However, this is the first time I have gotten a 3 page "Material Safety Data Sheet - Nicotine-Glycerin Solution" from Heartland Vapes or any company for that matter. . . While there is a lot of information . . . It - Actually has the "Composition/Information in Ingredients" . . . Also , "Handling and Storage" / "Physical and Chemical Properties" . . . AND - Even More Importantly, "First Aid Measures" . . . Very informative, just wish this information was provided a long time ago to consumers . . . Although - It was Not much of a difference from what everyone has been saying here . . . "NICE" ! ! !


Now - A couple of questions for those who are more experienced:

While they do say when it comes to "Storage" - Keep away from heat & fire . . . Keep container tightly closed . . . Keep In a cool, dry, well-ventilated area is sufficient. "For long term storage keep solution in a non-breakable container with an airtight lid. To help prevent oxidation, keep away from heat, light and in contact with as little oxygen as possible."

So - Why are "We" decanting the solution into glass bottles ? (other then to make it easier to handle.)

Also, are there any problems with "Freezing" the Nic-Liquid in the same plastic bottles it came in? Especially for long term storage?

AND - Is it better to just decant and then freeze what you are going to be possibly using in the near future ? Then leave the rest of the Nic-Liquid in your "Stash" for the long term in the original shipping bottles, especially since they are supposedly airtight ?​

Inquiring Minds NEED To Know . . . Just sayin' . . .

If you got the House version, like I do, decant into glass bottles and put in the freezer. If you are about to need one of the smaller bottles soon (within a month or so) it is fine to leave out, but otherwise I'd stuff them all in the freezer.

Glass is used because it's impermeable and doesn't leach (most plastics do, to some extent, particularly if it's long term, years).

Oxygen is what causes oxidation, while heat speeds things up - for long term a mostly full glass bottle (only a small bit of air in it - no harm), in a very cold dark place (a freezer) is the best.

Fill the bottles near full - neither pg nor vg expand when cold.

A lot of us add a bit of tape after the cap is on, a final seal binding the cap to the bottle.

After taking a bottle out of the freezer, give it a day to come up to room temp, then a good shake before using it.

The unbreakable note is "klutz prevention". I'm comfortable handling my single in-use bottle, and am not about to drop bricks onto the bottles in the freezer. The bottles I get from HV are pretty sturdy, I have no problem stacking a couple layers of them in plastic bins in the freezer.

... and mine from the 13th is still in "processing" status, hopefully shipping soon.

They knew you had a shiny new freezer to fill!

Mine from the 11th is still "processing". Waiting until the end of today, then I will email them.

I found pre order at Sourcemore code VBMR pretty cheap. I could not get the code to work at Vaporl.

I cleaned/defroster the freezer today! I have more room for nicotine. Sadly, I need to stop stocking up on meat! It will always be available.

If I go on a baking spree (I have about 12 lbs of real butter in the freezer) I will have room for 2 more liters of nic.

 

[JustWondering1]

Has anyone tried that baby ness mod? I’m really tempted to get a few, been wanting more 21700 single batt mods. That price seems a steal.

I love my Baby Ness mods because they are well made, great looking, fairly light in the hand and tend to not tip over as easily as most of my other mods to do. They aren't great with battery life though and that can be a PITA. I vape fairly low watts -- usually around 14.5 watts -- so the shorter battery life doesn't affect me as much as it would others using more power. I am thinking of getting the 21700 batteries and trying them out.

 

[JustWondering1]

No... Venvii is correct. That is what is on my boxes.

I think it was Envii and then they changed the name to Venvii.

 

[Haktuspit]

Filled up a couple new tanks/coils last night. Using a Cerberus tank with a Geekvape Super Mesh x2 and it's pretty wonderful, always is on the first day. Also filled a new TFV12 tank up last night too, and left it upside down overnight/all day today. Will vape that one when I get home from work.

Just picked up my package of 6 Picos that was delivered Saturday and I have a shipment from eightvape arriving today with another Aspire Breeze 2 kit, coils and juice. Oh yeah and that $15 Smok E-priv!

Good to hear from someone who actually has one.

Possibility it may have had something to do with brand/TM infringement.

Sourcemore and VaporL are both sold out of the SS version anyway which is the only version I can stomach even looking at. I think it's probably God trying to tell me to like sell the one I have that I accidentally ordered that is the Subohm one on the classies first.. Or just not get it. It is So fugly but hear great things about the vape, sigh.
