    UNTIL WE STOP - vape MAIL IS BANNED
    I wish I had better news but we can no longer ship the same vape products after March. I don't know what to say except this sucks..
    use code FREEDOM42WITHIN
    VAPES E-Cigs, E-juice, Wax Vape Pens, Herbal Vaporizers

    Got me checking my TFV12 coil supply. I have 45 boxes and if I go through one about every three weeks that puts me at 7.8 years of being able to vape on my TFV12. I don't think that's going to cut it as I really don't want to build and this whole work from home thing has increased the amount of TFV12 coils I'm going to need seeing as it's my at home mod.

    If everything goes to **** in a hand basket, you can use it to barter for food.

    hmmm, good suggestion. I can include that along w/ my silver coins and bullets to use as 'currency' to get food and goods if'n that should happen.

    Hi everyone!

    I've been panic researching and buying for the last two weeks and feel ok with what I was able to get. Life for me has been hectic so I'm just glad I was able to pull me heard out of my .... and get stocked up for the end of days. Also very glad to have this forum as a resource, which I'm sure will become more important the harder it gets to acquire our necessities. Just like it was back in the days when everything came from China.

    Over the last few years, purely out of simplicity and convenience, I settled on a sub ohm tank (FireLuke Mesh) and an everyday Smok dual battery mod that has carried me through until realizing that it wasn't going to be sustainable without my vape mail.

    Building coils was never easy for me especially with the tiny screws and and small decks to build on. Clumsy sausage fingers and not the greatest up close vision... But things have changed a lot and I feel that I've caught up on so much innovation, in this last two weeks, that I had missed. So many improvements that I think I'll be able to carry on with RDA's and RTA's.

    I was able to get...
    Aegis Max and an Aegis X. Hoping the durability of these holds to be true.
    Vandy Vapes Pulse v2 (thinking an RDA with squonk will fit in nicely at home)
    QP Juggerknot MR (really liking this so ordered extra glass tanks as well as the Juggerknot v2)
    Zeus X RTA and extra glass
    QP Kali v2 RDA
    HellVape Drop Dead RDA
    A bunch of drop in coils for my FireLuke sub ohm tank
    Some 100 mg DIY liquid and flavors to experiment and try to recreate the old PS Riskee Yuice RY4
    Bunch of other vape specific items.. handmade and pre-made coils, cotton bacon, coil tools.

    Still need to get some 21700 batteries and a spool of Kanthal wire for when I can't get more handmade / pre-made coils. Not in a rush since these are used in many other applications. Also running out of space to hide my stockpile... thinking my wife isn't going to be happy with me if she finds out what I've bought and that I'll be mixing my own e-liquid.

    For anything I may have forgotten or that breaks hopefully the BM stores will still be around.

    And I'm sure everyone helping each other on here will continue on. Sourcing replacement screws, o-rings etc. like back in the old days when we didn't have a plethora of other options.

    Yeah, I hope that all comes back to. With AIOs and Pod systems dominating the market in the last few years, sourcing parts to fix stuff to keep it working seems to be a thing of the past. That's fine when the product is something that the government isn't always trying to regulate out of existence/ban, but it's a death sentence for something like vape.

    Even rebuilding isn't as popular as it once was.

    Hope that all comes back.

    It looks like you've done a great job getting ready! The one thing that you might want to make sure of is that you have enough nic going forward to last a few years. I don't know if it will be available at any B&M locations, it isn't around here.

    Agreed, rebuilding will be the only way I see things continuing if vape mail ceases to exist for individuals.

    Thanks! I think I'll be covered for a good while. ;)

    On the Upside if I remember correctly, this forum is run out of the UK so it is not likely to vanish anytime soon. So hopefully the resources here will be around.

    But it depends on advertising revenue and vendor registration revenue ... that could be a game changer if those drop significantly.

    And those of us who support voluntarily. We can only do what we can and hope it is enough.

    Maybe if everyone who is able, becomes a supporting member, we can keep vaping along.

    Anyone got a Lightfire / KangerwholesaleUSA coupon? Honey does not want to be my friend today. If not it's not a huge deal I don't think anyone else is going to beat their $6.21 per 3-pack box of Smok coils price and I'm still going to check out... but with how many?!? o_O

    They very rarely offer coupon codes (per @JCinFLA ). Free shipping for orders over $75.

    What scares me is I am too calm and resigned to this thing happening. I feel like I should be angry or panicked or upset in some way and I just am not. If I feel anything at all its a combo of sad and tired. It's been such a long process.

    Same here. I put in ONE order. I just can't anymore. This has been on the horizon for over 10 years now. It's just exhausting.
