That sounds about right to me. I have about the same amount of nic (to supply two people) and vape the same strength and the calculator told me that it would last over 10 years. I am still contemplating getting another half or whole liter.

Mixing is a first for me after 6 1/2 years of vaping store juice. When my 100mg/ml nic comes in I need to break one liter down to a lower and safer nic level for safety. I guess I could take it to 25mg level and make 4 liters of 25mg and reduce the danger of skin and inhalation exposure. I can keep the other liter at full strength in the freezer and work from the 25mg, cutting it down as needed. Then, I'll have 4 liters of 25mg and one 100mg and the small freezer space gets used up.

I wouldn't have ordered 2 liters if I wasn't concerned about future availability.

I had one order I tried making for squape clones that had a connection error when trying to pay. They told me to try again and it too had the same error so I gave up instead of trying paypal. Just looked at my CC statement and they charged me yet I have no order history in my account on their site. :(

Sent them an email for a refund. After looking at my CC history I have decided I am done buying gear for a while even though I have a few carts loaded up with things I 'want' (yet likely/hopefully don't 'need'). The only other things I plan to buy for the next month or three are DIY gear (more flavors, bottles, etc).

That happened to me weeks back when trying to order some stuff and it not going through, but the monies was put on hold in my account. I just emailed them and told them to take the hold off and it went back into my account after a couple days.

Ack what am i doing?! LOL I just ordered stuff i dont even know what to do with it! I wanted to buy wires,premade to rebuild my aspire nautilus coils and subtank nanos. They say "Pre-Coiled Welded Wires w/ Wicks - NR-R-NR (50-Pack). 33 AWG / 1.8ohm / 4-wick" The wire is Nichrome,can i use these on both nauty and nano coils?
I think you bought them on my recommendation. I know I have been using them on my protank coils for the past couple of years and they work well for me. I run wattage mode on all of my batteries if that makes any difference. I don't think they would work in temp mode but that isn't a problem for me since I don't run any of my batteries, that are capable of using temp, in temp mode. HTH

I did go with what you said,lol. Im so nervous about coiling with wrong wire,gauge,or whatever! I vape around 10 watts so i hope these work for me in the nauty at least. Hope i never have to use them though,but just in case....And THANK YOU!

Nichrome is fine. It's slightly lower resistance per length as kanthal (slightly higher per length than SS). I just picked up a couple spools of nichrome and I think it's working great for me....

I keep my batteries set at about 8 to 10 watts so you should be fine. You are so very welcome :wub:

I don't see a threat to PG or VG. Neither is tied totally to vaping and both have lots of mainstream uses in health and beauty and farm use. The same applies to non-tobacco flavorings, although I like a mild tobacco taste in my vape.
I think your PROBABLY right, but probably isn't good enough for some of us. ;)

It's the nicotine base that could be threatened. I have 2 liters of 100mg/ml nic base in ship mode right now. It's crazy, but every way I figure it my 3mg juice preference will make those two liters of nic last me 27.5 years at 200ml a month vaping. Maybe I've calculated wrong, but I don't think I have.
Back-of-envelope, I come up with 26 years for that. Close enough.

I was reading some of the reviews on the ED site. So many of them mention using their vg and pg for making e-liquid. I hope that won't cause it to be deemed a tobacco product down the road. I ordered 2 gallons of VG just in case.

I wondered about that too as I read through the reviews. :unsure:

I called them about a year or so ago and talked to someone there about this. They said they would check into it. They apparently didn't see it as a problem. I'm hoping it doesn't bite them, or us in the .....
Maybe now that it is coming down to the wire they will remember your call and do what ever they can about it. I am afraid those glowing reviews could end up hurting both them and us down the road.

I wasn't going to stock up on VG or PG originally but now glad I did just because of so much uncertainty. I need some glass bottles to put some of it in fridge for long term storage. Guess I need to shop for bottles! LOL
That's the reason I did too. I wasn't planning on getting more than I needed per month, but things are starting to shake out now that the deem date approaches.

it's all going to bottleneck at Nicotine Base ... will Nicotine even be available?

the FDA will not care about PG/VG or flavourings ... they will only care if you mix them and try to sell it as eJuice without giving them their slice.
I tend to agree with you there, but still that air of uncertainty looms until the dust settles.
