    yes. I have some of the .3 ohm. They are good but not as good as the .5 ohm imho
    I vape in the exact same range that you do. I stocked up on the .5 ohm Gt Ccells

    I’ve got a fair amount of the .5 also but couldn’t decide if I should buy the .3 while vaprzon has the deal going on. Where are you running the .3 as far as wattage?

    Well...you guys got me. I caved...you broke me down. As a result of following this thread for the last few months, I Bought a couple new mechs today, which I haven’t used regularly since 2011ish. Also picked up 2 rda’s, which I haven’t used regularly in years as well. Been DIY’ing day in and day out for the past 7 or 8 years, so I guess I need to buy nic base tomorrow. God I hope this is all for nothing. I will continue to ghost this thread and probably be convinced to stockpile even further. I can’t believe I’ve sunk to this level of pessimism about the future of something I’ve enjoyed so much for longer than a decade. It’s just so sad...and so silly.

    When you're stocked, it doesn't matter what the Feds or states do, you are covered :) That's the plan, it is sad I agree, but better safe than sorry.

    About TFA Peppermint - An old friend who'd smoked menthol ciggies for 40+ years, decided he wanted to try vaping a peppermint eliquid I'd make for him...to get started with trying vaping. I made a 10mL bottle at only 1% flavoring, and figured it would be easy to work my way up to something he'd like. He went "Whew! That's really strong. Makes my eyes water!" I kept reducing the amount of flavoring in some tiny batches, until it was to his liking. It ended up with using only 3 drops of the TFA Peppermint to make his 30mL bottle of eliquid that he loved. It'll take forever to use the 120mL bottle of flavoring I'd bought, thinking it would take much more to make it for him! :D

    Here is a copy and paste from TFA for peppermint:
    Water soluble.

    A peppermint candy type of flavor.

    Ingredients:Natural & Artificial Flavor, Propylene Glycol, Ethyl

    My guess is it does contain real peppermint oil which is why the ethyl alc was added. I know from email exchanges back in 2010 with Linda, the owner, that ethyl alc is used for that purpose. She is really nice by the way. Peppermint oil is really strong stuff as back in the day I used to use it as a vape flavoring. I am going to toss the 4oz bottle I have as I like FW's Candy Cane much better.

    I finished stocking back in 2016. I don't feel the least bit sad or silly because I've been vaping essentially for free ever since, and I sleep very soundly at night knowing I'll never be tempted to revert to to smoking under any foreseeable circumstance.

    about 30-35 watts and that is a little too warm of a vape for me. They don’t last as long as the .5 for me either. Guessing that is because they run hotter. I will use them when I run out of the .5s I just don’t like them as much. At that price maybe you could get 3 packs to try? You could most likely sell them at some point if it ends up that you don’t like them.

    I'm not feeling sad or silly about the act of stocking up itself, but what it means in the larger sense. I feel sad for those vapers who may not be a part of the "hobbyist" community (the OVERWHELMING SUPER MAJORITY of e-cig users today) and could turn back to traditional cigarettes if e-cigs disappear from the open marketplace. And especially sad for those people who would want to quit smoking in the future, but will not have easy access to e-cigs to use as a harm reduction product. It's just completely silly that one of the greatest harm reduction products that has ever come to market could go out this way....

    Good seeing you again! :)
    I see it as evil rather than silly.
    Totally agree!

    I, too feel very sad that those who are 'thinking' of stopping smoking and don't know what's in store will continue smoking.

    Just a little more info about iVapeSupply:

    $6 Flat Rate Shipping (< 1 lb)
    $9 Flat Rate Shipping (> 1 LBS)

    I've gotten orders that were 9-18lbs. and they were still just $9 S/H, even though they shipped PM in a Large Flat Rate box. So, it's a very good deal if someone's ordering a bunch. By the way...the owner is a very nice guy. He even added some "extras" into a couple of my orders, for me to pass along to people locally, who could definitely use them because of their very limited funds. :)

    I didn't post the Flat Rate shipping charge to deter purchases or to bash the retailer or anyone else for that matter. lol

    Just an FIY for those that want to know. In fact, especially with the coupon code, the shipping is negligible, especially the more you buy.

    I didn't think you did that at all. I posted to just let them know there were 2 different S/H charges, depending on the weight of the order, so they wouldn't be surprised maybe at Checkout. Also, to let them know that even pretty heavy shipments still only cost $9 S/H. The part about him being a nice guy was just letting people know alittle bit about him as a vendor.

    ETA: I fixed it by removing what I quoted from your previous post, which was just..."Shipping is a flat $6 with no free shipping". That way it won't in any way possibly "seem" to be directed at you.

    I wonder if they're liquidating their stock. I looked through their mods and rebuildables, and about 90% are out of stock.

    Yeah, a lot of their clearance items are OOS. Namely everything I'm interested in :D

    He's had the 30% off deal going since at least Nov. 14th, when it was on Clearance stuff only for several weeks. Then he started doing it sitewide. There used to be quite a bit more on the website.
