The phrasing indicates it's sales or shipping to us in NY.

I should post my kanger tanks/coils classy in a couple weeks.

I might order another handful of the larger format squonk bottles (for 2x700 mods) from ft, possibly one more veco plus tank for euc heads. I'll have the hellvape destiny in this month, decide if that's worth picking up another.
Don’t forget to warn me and Hittman when you list it. (I think he was looking for the coils too). I could always pif the tanks.

WOW! Wet Vapes couldn't have made hardly any $ off of those TFV12 Baby Prince tanks I posted about. They were only $6 each, and I ordered 5 for friends, so got Free S/H. They arrived already today, because they shipped them by Priority Mail. With that kind of pricing and super service...I think I'm going to be checking their website often for more sales and clearance things. :)

Remember the good ole days when you would wake up and there would be 20 pages of unread posts on this thread? This morning there was 1 post. :( I think this thread is dying and the question Are you done stocking up has been answered.

I know I am waiting for one last order to come in from fasttech (assuming it gets through before May 12). I keep checking sales but really am not seeing anything I really want or need.

There are rumors of an extension to the May 12 deadline. Nothing concrete yet but there is a possibility of a 120 day extension (see other threads here on ECF).

There are also ongoing issues with the supply chain for vapor gear. China is apparently under a 2nd lockdown.

For me I have finally been forced to spend a fair size chunk of my monthly disposable income on clothing that fits. Having started jogging some (as opposed to all walking), it can be tough to do when your sweat pants are trying to move south and you have to hold them up. It kinda pointed out to me that at least a few outfits just had to be replaced and it wouldn't wait any more. LOL

As for the stay at home and shortages. Still can't get paper towels or TP around here. TP is not a problem. I am starting to feel like a genius for buying that huge box from sam's club several months ago. Paper towel is becoming an issue but even that I can replace with bar towels if necessary. Replacing the bar towels if I need to down the line will not be difficult.

My biggest issue is curbside grocery pickup when the person that is pulling your groceries off the shelf is an idiot. Scene last week: Wal Mart contacts me to tell me they are running behind and will contact me when they have pulled my order so I can come get it. Fine no problem. They contact me and I head to the store. I check in by text. And wait for 2.5 hours. They finally come. I ask politely what the holdup is. Snotty girl says to me "Oh we had to deliver to the people who were on time first. Next time don't be late." I wanted to smack the smirk right off her face. Let's just say I let fly with much creative language on the drive home.

    I didn't know paper towels were still hard to get. I was able to get a 12 roll pack of bounty off of amazon a couple weeks ago. I honestly haven't been to the store much since my wife does most of the shopping so I'm not sure the status of getting TP around here except she was able to get a pack at the store last week. I ordered a pack from Walmart and it took three weeks to arrive. We should be good for a while so I'm not planning on buying any more until we need to.

    As far as stocking up on vape gear goes, I'm done for the most part. I have some coilology premade coils that I like on the way from FT but other than that I don't really have anything coming. I knew I was about done when I gave away 50% and 25% coupon codes instead of using them.

    When I checked Amazon last week for paper towel the only thing I could find were the industrial roll stuff. Like the old Brown paper towels schools use. Yeah no thanks. I'd rather wash bar towels than deal with that stuff which absorbs about nothing.

    To add insult to injury I have read about 2 18-wheelers catching fire with loads of TP and paper towel in the last week. Frustrating.

    This is a very small town. I am hearing the shipments are going to the bigger cities first which means we are getting very little and the local denizens are still in hoarding mode when they actually find anything.

    In central NY things aren't bad for shopping. We skip a place of it looks too crowded, but overall things have been easy after the first crush.

    $20 50 pack of masks and nitrile gloves from Amazon arrived yesterday. We use both of those for camp projects, too.

    On the vaping front I have the Jan sourcemore order, plus two small ones from ft that should ship fairly soon. I'm building up a small cats-and-dogs order for ft, probably send it out in early May.

    This whole TP being valuable like form of currency makes me think of Nuka Cola bottle caps as the currency in Fallout. TP is useful, so it's not a 1:1 comparison, but it's something that got stuck in my head lol. And I'm stocked up, anything I've bought in the last two months has been something I want, not stockpiling. Honestly, I'm glad that craziness is over for me. It was a fun, frantic thing, but I don't miss the panic prep buying.

    FYI:

    Instead of Paper Towels, while very convenient, have people at all considered using what some people used before PT, like a - Dish "Rag" / Bar Towels / Cloth Towels / a "Diaper " / Any "Rag" for that matter . . . Or even getting some "Handy-Wipes"' (there are also inexpensive store brands- they are available at Drug Stores/Hardware/Dollar Store too ) . . . They are all reusable and can be rinsed and/or wash, even sanitized with soap & bleach if need be . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    For what it's worth, Heartlandvapes is having a 10% off sale on their DIY kit and DIY sizes of nicotine solution. No coupon needed. Discount calculated in cart.

    Ends 4/20/2020

    Also, they lifted the limit restriction on their bulk flavorings.

    I think I just got lucky getting the paper towels when I did. I know sams club had none the last couple times I have been there.
    For me Sam's club is a 60-80 mile drive depending on if I go north or south. It's a trip we take every 3-6 months. I can't just pop in and check unfortunately. LOL

    I am actually plotting weather I want to take that trip to try and get half decent produce. What I have been able to get here locally lately has been awful. Might be worth it to preserve the diet.

    I've got a couple of FT orders that are taking an extra-long time to arrive. The amount of vape gear I think I need to be well-stocked keeps expanding so I'll keep stocking up as long as I can. I haven't been doing much purchasing of vape gear lately because I've been focused on buying TP, Paper Towels, 90+ % alcohol and food lately. I suspect this thread will pick back up again whenever things get back to normal again. I also have felt less pressure to buy the vape gear since it looks like the 5/12 Deeming regs may be pushed back and I am in fairly good shape.

    Whenever I buy vape gear again, I'll probably focus on attys and additional spare parts for mods and attys. If I decide to buy more mods, I want to get some of the 21700 mods.

    :thumbs: Ya' did . . . However, given what some others have posted about still not being able to get Paper Towels - I was just trying to be little "humorous" while offering some other options too . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

    Nothing like a pandemic to screw up a pending vaping disaster.
