Here’s tropicalbob’s candy:

DIY nicotine candy
A few years ago I considered trying to make hard candy with the same flavors I DIY.

I think it would be a treat if someone received some same flavored candy with their e-juice.

I never followed up on it at that time but note to self: Try it. It might be epic.

    Having some fun with my stockpile today. Dad asks me what we ordered from E-juice Steals so I looked it up, I got (2) Axiom tanks and then an order of 50 packs of 5x Kanger Clapton coils. Long story short that involved me going through all my coils looking for Claptons, we think I ordered them and shipped them to him we just both forgot. BTW they were $1.30 a box after taxes and shipping.

    In other news I found 20 more boxes of Smok Prince TFV12 coils I forgot about and missed during the count. With the 20 on the way I now have 80 and I'm definitely not thinking about ordering more... especially after that expensive sneaker purchase this morning.

    *edit* Make that 10 Axiom tanks, and I have no idea where they are.

    Is it just me, I don't get the same level of craving as when I smoked? Not even close, it's rare I have to wait but it's like night and day, there's something way different imo
    Your body has adjusted to not getting the WTA's present in cigarettes.
    (whole tobacco alkaloids).

    Thanks! What strength did you use if I may ask? :)
    just more normal juice so depends :p back when I vaped 12mg it was 12mg...now it's between 3mg and 1.5mg
    as with vaping, if you plan on using a higher level of nic than you are used to, I would suggest using nic salts so you don't get that peppery taste.

    Depending on how long you've been vaping and not smoking....you are no longer addicted to all of the other additives and crap that are in cigs and it's only the nicotine now so cravings aren't going to be the same....but there are times when you get a nic fit :p

    I recall reading that someone in a act of desperation reverted to putting a few juice drops under the tounge.

    I don't do it in an act of desperation. But I do put 2-3 drops of my eliquid under my tongue about every 2 hours on long flights...when they're like 4 hour or longer ones. Have never had nic cravings while flying, when doing that for about 6 years now.

    Putting it under the tongue, not ON the tongue...and waiting for about 30 seconds before swallowing...allows it to be very readily absorbed. That's why many liquid meds and supplements are labeled "sublingual liquids". You use the dropper that they come with to measure it and squirt or drop it under the tongue, then wait the 30 seconds. My B-12 is a sublingual liquid, and my bloodwork results always show that it's being absorbed very well under my tongue.

    Doesn't that first hit feel so good after you've been a long time without? :sneaky:

    I went out to run a quick errand yesterday and forgot my vape. Just started to freak out then I calmed myself. No biggie, but i sure was happy when I got back :D

    I've been on long car rides with my family where it wasn't my car. I looked forward to bathroom breaks! I was digging in my purse before the car even parked.

    I get mint nicotine losenges from Costco fairly inexpensively.

    https://www.costco.com/kirkland-sig...g.-or-4mg.,-270-pieces.product.100155526.html

    That is what I've used for years back when I was working at a office (never took vape breaks) and carry a bottle of them in all of my coats and have a extra bottle stashed in the car.

    Nicotine withdraw is NOT fun.

    Eleaf EC coils 0.5 ohm. 1 month strong on 2 different coils at 21.5 watts (~36 watts 0.4 second preheat) and no sign of flavor or vapor loss, using clear and fairly sweet liquid at 6mg.

    These coils rock :thumbs:

    Using them in Melo 3 tanks, which is nice because I already stocked tons of glass for Subtank minis and they take the same exact glass size.

    I just made a test purchase from FT. I bought a Dead Rabbit RTA clone and a drip tip. It totaled $12 and some change. Let's see what happens. I have a long wish list of things I would like to buy, but I'm gonna wait for this one first.

    Did you use free epacket or some other shipping option?

    Not the free, but the cheap epacket. Shipping was 0.78. I wanted to see how they handled it. I didn't want to pay $5 for a $12 package.

    That's what I was hoping you did becuase the USPS Expedited is DHL Ecommerce and I have a bad feeling about that right now, although it's my preferred method. My test order will most likely be with Epacket, too.

    Just heard back from the Gearbest vape seller as to why my tracking hasn't moved for 7 days and hasn't left china.

    Was told they had to change the tracking #. I guess they had to reship it because "USPS now require declared weight and actual weight to be same".

    :confused:

    Anyhow, got new tracking and looks like this will go through. On way from Shenzhen to HK. That;s the way it should be. I just want to see "HKG / Shipment departed from airport of origin country" and I'll be happy. Will hopefully show that in the next day or 2, judging from past orders.

    Once I see "ORD / Released from customs: customs cleared.", I'll breath easier. :D


    So the second time Gearbest shipped my order it passed China customs. Next day arrived in HK. Today shows handed over to airline.

    This is DHL Ecommerce using 4px shipping agent as usual for a lot of chinese retailers these days. My biggest fear now is when it reaches USA. A Reddit user claimed today his UPS shipment from china got held in customs. Didn't say from which retailer. I read UPS/FedEx/DHL all have their own dedicated customs facilities and are much more strict.

    Well see.

    Next step in tracking should be HKG / Shipment departed from airport of origin country. Shouldn't be long. Maybe tomorrow judging from past tracking.

    After that, I should see ORD / Released from customs: customs cleared. That's when I'll breath a sigh of relief. :cry:

    Last shipment from GB, from plane ride to customs clearance was just under 24 hours apart.

    I don't care how long it takes to get to my door after that. But typically it's 5-10 days.

    I am waiting to see how ordering goes with FT post mail ban. Right now the ban is not in effect so no reason for FT not to ship it. FT did say they were "watching for the implemented date of the vape mail ban on USPS website" and "will keep monitoring the latest news and communicate with their logistics carrier."
    Which is DHL?
    A true test IMHO will be ordering months post mail ban, if FT still has U.S. shipping options.

    Actually I think it is going to move quickly once the comment period on the rules is done. USPS will move fast on it DHL, UPS and FedEx will move on their announced dates. The question is will they deliver the stuff already in the pipeline as of that date.

    It will be interesting to see how the various orders people placed in the last day or 2 fair since they likely will be already in the pipeline as of end dates.
