@Oregon Linda ....Surprising isn't the word. I have alot of online vape stores bookmarked, and the only ones I see even mention closing down or the pmta mentioned are Vapers Tek and the Plume Room. There are probably more I'm not aware of. But for the most part, not a word on their sites. ecig Mafia and Vape NW have been selling off their inventory at serious price reductions, but no mention on their sites. Are they afraid of scaring their customers? Pretending nothings going to happen until the last minute? More than likely. Still, as you said, I'm not seeing the mega discounts on juice or hardware that we should be seeing. Maybe it'll take the actual Sept 9th date and a few scare letters from the FDA before we see it. What has made me sad is some of the real small mom and pop sites just go POOF without warning and a "site down for maintainance" page in its place. Sad times.
Just got a very sad email just now from Level Up Vapor about closing on the 21st. A lengthy letter, detailing what the PMTA is about and how it will destroy the industry. This is a juice company that has been very popular on r e d d i t.
Most places sold off most of their inventory in November, December (2019) and January, Febuary of this year. Since then only a couple of the major retailers are getting new stock in. Most are just holding steady with a few items until forced to close.
So lots of them will simply close their doors and walk in Sept. and Nov. when forced, or switch the gear all over to "CBD products" for sale...
ElementVape, and even VaporDNA seems to want to try and stay in, others who are smaller seem like they are holding a wait and see attitude, and can walk if it comes to it.
Same problem, same concerns. I asked the same question in this thread: New mech mod recommendation for SHTF
I ended up getting a Cthulhu Tube Mod which is protected by a MOSFET chip. You can buy the chips separately, so I stocked up on a few of those as well. It's a nice little mod in my opinion. Hopefully with extra chips it will last a long time. The only thing I don't like is that the logo on bottom doesn't line up with firing button up top on all the mods. Kind of hit or miss on that aesthetic. $28.44 Authentic Cthulhu Tube Dual MOSFET Mechanical Mod - 1*18650/18350 at FastTech - Free Shipping
I also got a Serisvape Bathala Mechanical Mod. Haven't received it yet, but it was recommended. It has a hybrid connector, so you have to be careful. Although really you have to be careful with a mech mod anyway. That's a whole separate topic that I am still reviewing throughly before I delve in. $20.59 Authentic Serisvape Bathala Mechanical Mod - 1*18650/20650/20700/21700 / copper at FastTech - Free Shipping
On the thread I linked to, @Izan pointed out the interesting concept of 3d printing a mod. Well beyond my knowledge but I have it on my radar.
Actually I was using a formula that was created by @Bea-FL originally ( maybe she will step in here ) that actually helped me finally become a full-time vaper . . . However I have modified it somewhat - I don't use measurements in the normal sense of the word (%, oz, ml, etc) - I mostly eyeball it on a day to day bases . . .
So depending on the tank - Prism/Zenith/Zlide which are 2 - 4 ml - I'm using usually 3/4 + Unflavored and 1/8 to 1/4 Koolada ( Do almost the same mixing a 30ml bottle ) . . . With a Pod (using 2-3 ml) it's a little more difficult, but very close to the same mixture although it is usually a sidefill. . . And adjust when and if NEEDED . . . Very rarely I do use a couple of drops of "Menthol Crystal Liquid" which will give a stronger result . . .
BTW: Rember to shake and let sit at least a few minutes before vaping . . .
Hope this helps . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Here is another one I never heard of called VapePerfect is going out of business sale with everything 40% off. But it looks like it is all pods and salt nic to me.
The trouble with carrying a Zippo as a non-smoker is that it will dry out in relatively short order, and this will make it ineffective against zombies, whereas quality ammo will still fire reliably many decades after it has been loaded.
I honestly have no idea. I was given it by a nurse friend.
I have some of the pure CBD extract powder and it doesn't work very well, but the 1000mg full spectrum tincture I have is awesome. Problem is it costs a lot, like $60 for a 30ml bottle. I can take 50mg of it and a 1mg melatonin and have a wonderful nights rest.

Well, my Smoant Battlestar squonk mod was delivered today. To bad I'm not at home to receive it. I'm visiting my daughter for her birthday which was actually Wednesday. She's now 20, no longer a teenager and too young to drink. No excuses for silly behavior.
