Perfumers apprentice also have PG and VG and their main clientele has always been food oriented.

Right, same with any non-vape flavor retailers who don't really market themselves are "vape". As long as they are in business you can always order PG and VG from them.

In fact, ordering from flavor vendors may be a better idea so as to help them stay in business. As long as the price is reasonable enough.

Quitting is a good choice. But here's a DIY option that will also resolve. Needs trip to HD and 30 minutes, or so: High Quality DIY Air Purifier "Comparetto Cube" GL
An easy smaller format one could be made with this filter: https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Purifiers-Furnace-Filters-Conditioner/dp/B074MKZNFW


Edit:
Simpler: https://www.amazon.com/Comfort-Zone-Portable-Box-Fan/dp/B010IATVYM

Along with the Cut to size filter.

The better price version of the 16x48 carbon pre filter material: https://www.amazon.com/Carbon-Pre-filter-Honeywell-Filter-CFS/dp/B01KIKYBBK

Tape a piece of the filter across the back and side air inlets.

A long as it's only run on low I wouldn't expect any heat issues.

Alternately build a small frame with 1/2x2, to get increased intake surface area, minimize stress on the motor.

I've got the fan and filter material on the way, will see how it does.

They have that deal on the P26A batts quite often.
Yeah I always forget about that store when I am actually looking for batteries and miss it. This is a first shot at the Molicels for me though I have heard they are decent as a high amp battery. I want them as insurance on my mechs

Sooooo...

making a mechanical mod is relatively simple. Fair bit of info and schematics out there. And if you stocked 510 connectors, not a big deal really.

But anyone got any ideas on how to go about making a homemade RDA?

Not joking.


This guy's on it! Good thing I kept all my dead ego chargers :)

it would have to be a tru apocalypse for me to think either of those were a good idea

Ideas in these vieos, even if the end-product isn't desirable (or safe), serve as a basis to spark ideas for better, more desirable, and safer end products. I'd never use a plastic RDA, but the other ideas for other parts of it can be useful.

Vapers used to be a more creative and inventive bunch. Has that been "bred" out of us in less than a generation's time? :lol:

I remember when start up vendors such as Good prophets made a homemade tank back in the early days of vaping. I bought one and rehomed it years ago.

The possibility of needed to make an atty is WHY I have held on to my ancient divers. Jury rigging a tank to put them in is NOT difficult from a 10 mL dropper bottle and some bits from the hardware store. Going back to that setup would be a big step down from modern gear but it would work. For those not aware divers are a replacement for the carto in a carto tank. We are talking ancient vape history here.

Do y'all think that "filters" still can be obtained from China even after the mail ban takes affect? I think we still will be able to buy mods and attys, even if a few packages get confiscated by customs. I'm hoping anyway.
I suppose it is dependent on how risk adverse you are as to weather or not this is worth trying.

I could easily see a draconian lockdown should deeming be fully enforced. They certainly wrote the right to do that into it. The question is can they pull it off.

Didn't alcohol consumption actually increase during prohibition? Things will just move to a black market. To avoid cigarettes some will be forced to run Tor browsers and take legal and health risks. Ridiculous. This is all about corporate profits and nothing to do with public health or safety. And did I mention that Michael Bloomberg is the spawn of Satan?

What's the shelf life on batteries? Bought some extras just in case.

    I don’t think we will know for sure until it happens but I’m hopeful. I know someone who had two DHL packages that got opened at customs but they were resealed and arrived in good shape with nothing missing. I saw an article the other day where 50k vape pens were seized at customs because they were mislabeled as something else. I don’t think they’ll ever have the manpower to catch much but larger shipments but will probably catch a small amount of individual packages.

    A small wad of saturated cotton in a spoon over a candle, and drawing the vape through a straw would probably work. People will innovate again. In the old days I made pipes for smoking other things out of aluminum foil. Probably the biggest fear is the fear of change.

    People could start saving their Altoids tins, for later use! :D

    @Katya has posted in the past that she has the schematics for turning 1 into a mod. They're likely still easily found online, too.

    I remember the green monsato bottles (which were bad for you) would make a good b o n g , but I digress...
