For example, Kai's Virgin Vapor mentioned that they are going through the PMTA process with a limited run of products. I am thinking at least some businesses are going to shore up their core offerings.
The issue being that going through the PMTA process doesn't mean a product will be approved.

20% off today only at Ejuices.com and at Eliquid.com!
(Just got online & found the emails came at 2:09 my time)​

Spend at least $40 from 11 am PST to 5 pm PST and use the discount code 20FLASH to get 20% off at checkout on either site, or place an order at each one! They frequently have some things at 1 site that the other one is out of. For those who may not know it, Free S/H is a constant bonus from both sites (owned by same company), as long as everything in your order comes from the same location, and even sometimes if it doesn't.

KangerWholesaleUSA.com has the Z-Coils back in stock now, for just $6.10/box (even before any discount) for the 0.8ohm and the 1.6ohm. The 0.5ohm Plexus ones are $9 + change/box. There's a current coupon code for 5% off, too (thanks for info on that from @Uncle). The code is: PEACE. Free S/H kicks in at a $75 or more total order amount. Otherwise, the minimum S/H is $9.99.

They also have a bunch of stuff in their Vape Deals sections (coils, tanks, RTAs, replacement pods, etc.). You might find them worth taking a look at for stocking up, too.

Nearly every city/town is broke now.. Vapers just need to word their Twitter appeals to politicians for the tax golden goose they kicked. Make them believe you want to dismantle the FDA.

Or limit the FDA to prescription and OTC drugs instead of attacking vaping (which is a life saver for smokers).

Tobacco companies have to be disheartened with vaping. It's good that people are kicking the smokes and even better that many are doing that through vaping. It's no wonder that the pharma machine is lobbying against vaping.

The complaint is still that teenagers are vaping. Mail order is one of the drawbacks to controlling teen vaping. I agree that young people should wait until age 21 to make the decision to vape. After all, vaping was the life saver for smokers who tried and failed to quit, as well as those of us who didn't want to quit. Vaping provided a way to satisfy our nic craving without the harm of tobacco cigarettes.

For us, DIY and an adequate hardware and nic base stock will allow us to vape after it's controlled and/or outlawed.

There were some crazy high nicotine tax laws kicking around in Congress (multiple K$ per liter of 100mg) late last year. Coronavirus, the economic crisis,... have put that on the back burner, but I wouldn't be surprised for it to pop up again.

Yep, it's time for all to join the "I got Mine" club with nic base.

I just ordered about 20 bottles of flavored premium juice from cheepejuice.com, to add to my collection for myself, and to buy time. Im thingking of setting up a shipping service for New Yorkers that cant get ejuice.. Im thinking of a fair price to charge for the reshipping services..It would have to be first class priority mail according to weight and size...I will keep an eye on how the ban plays out here in NYC first. Vape on Bros and Sis! Hopefully we can get through this by helping each other. Not by price gauging like the purell and lysol during the begining of the cov outbreak.

This information would likely save you some money if you follow through with your plan.

There is no First Class Priority Mail. First Class Mail and Priority Mail are 2 different classes of USPS mail. First Class Parcel or Package Service...is for packages that weigh no more than 13.5oz. total. It's the least expensive way to send lighterweight packages of things, that don't qualify to be shipped by Media Mail rate...which is only for things like books, educational materials & supplies, CDs, DVDs, etc.

Packages that weigh more than that can be sent Parcel Select (usually slower) or Priority Mail (usually a day or so faster). Often there isn't much difference in their cost though...sometimes just pennies. There are also various types and rates OF Priority Mail shipping. One is based on the total weight of the package and how far it's going. The other is Flat Rate Priority Mail - anything that will fit within the different sizes and shapes of PM Flat Rate boxes and/or the PM Flat Rate bubble envelope, no matter what the weight is...goes for a set postage cost FOR that specific box or bubble envelope.

Also, a USPS supervisor told me something a long time ago, that saved me quite a bit of money when I sold on eBay for years. It's this - If you're shipping a lighter weight package (13.5oz. or less) to someone in your same state...there is no reason to pay the higher Priority Mail cost...when shipping it by First Class package will usually get it there in the same amount of time.

I've decided I'm not conveying ecig stuff for money or for free regardless of laws. I do mix for a brother. He owns his share of the ingredients even though I keep them. There is no other close family I need to be concerned about.

I stashed enough mods and atomizers for 10/20 years several years ago. Then decided the risk of interference with products has come to the point where may be I should buy some vape toys just incase. Now I've got half a dozen more atomizer types and several newer style mods and they are fine but when the moment comes I'm leaving the house with one setup it usually ends up being a Pico mod with a SV rda clone. I use the others mostly at home. I got a few pods and don't use them at all.

I'd be careful with that idea. I haven't read the law carefully but I would wonder if you would get slapped with a fine if you were ever caught shipping anything to NY. Maybe someone else can weigh in on that one.

I was thinking more along the lines of flat rate boxes that fit up to five bottles sent priority with tracking...

May i ask how many that is?
My stocking plan assumed a mod should last 2 years of continuous service and my preferred (simple) rda would do at least as well. I was looking for 10 years so 5 of each. But what if I misjudged and they weren't holding up so well? The stuff is so cheap why not double up, 5 more of the same rda's and 5 more mods but a different style in case there is a design flaw in the first 5. So now it's 10 of each so may be I'll last 20 years if everything works as well or better than expected. I used the same approach with nic, 10/20 years. I have more gear than that because I've bought some toys along the way not related to the stash but they would likely extend the usefulness of the stash. On average I paid $7 each for the rda's and about $30 each for the mods, chump change compared to $3,000 a year to smoke. One of my relapses came after 10 years so I'm never safe. It can't happen again.

    Well my TFV12 coils finally made it to the states, only took about 2-3 months. Was with Vapeyaya if you're wondering.

    My unpaired batteries are only getting more uneven over time. This is today, I think it drains one and then the other. Works just fine with my other batteries, think it's time for a divorce!

    At only $3.99/box though, compared to what they were at every other place...it was worth the wait...no? Was your 2nd batch, wasn't it? :D

    ETA: For others reading the above - I'm not being a smart___ to him. I found those for him a few months ago and he was excited about that price. :D

    Definitely worth it and thanks for the find!. I'm not even sure what batch this would be, this is my 5th and 6th case (10 boxes) of these. Don't think I'm going to put another order in now though, would be cutting it too close to PMTA for me.

    Battery is only getting worse. I'm torn between taking these out forever or keep vaping it just to see what happens.

    *Edit* I posted this and took them out. Not worth it.
