Hey guys, been a while. Even missed my vape anniversary. Hope you're all doing well.

Went to mix tonight and realized I'm out of both VG (soon) and flavor (REALLY soon).

I use Capella Cinnamon Danish Swirl V2 and went to order it from their site but they want $25 to ship (4) 5-oz bottles. Last time I ordered from Wizard Labs but they're gone, before that it was Gremlin but they don't carry it anymore. Figured I'd throw a hail mary here before spending $25 shipping at Capella.

Pretty sure JC has me covered on VG from a previous message I just need to dig it up.
Hello!

UncLeJunkLe beat me to it!
Bull City is an authorized reseller for Capella flavors and has CDSV2 in stock.
If you want the same volume, you can get a 16oz and a 4oz for under $60 as well as free shipping with the code FREESHIP.

Bull City free shipping with the code FREESHIP.

I wish I new about that code. I used the other code they have not long ago but free shipping would have been more of a discount. I'll try to remember that for next time.

You can use FREESHIP starting at 49.99 and at 74.99 you can choose the free shipping option with no code needed, so you can apply any other discount code to get to 74.99+.
Bulk category items do not qualify for free shipping if I understand correctly (I haven't gone there... yet)

Also, 50% off category discount applies at checkout, no code needed, as well as Noted flavors discount (10% I think)

    Thanks so much! That helped. I was able to get (3) 4 oz bottles (all they had left) of flavor for $48 shipped from Bull City. They wanted $80 shipping with (4) gallons of VG so I dug up @JCinFLA old email and got (2) gallons of VG from Bulk Apothecary for $47 shipped.

    Will try to be around more and not just when I'm needing something.

    Went to break out a new mod to test atty's on tonight and chickened out and put the brand new mod back. IDK why but I try really hard not to break into my stash. Have barely used any hardware from all that stuff we bought. I actually find it surprising it's all still legal and available for purchase. Even seen some new products on major websites looking around with Dad the other day.

    Tons of new product since the stock up frenzy. 80% of it being pods and possibly mostly disposables. They push those disposables hard and they've really taken off with the....ummm....younger crowd. Before 2023 I rarely saw anyone vape in my area. Now I see lots of young folks with disposables.

    Wild, did they just give up on trying to enforce? Knowing them they'll do a huge sweep at some point.

    Haha I've tried some of his "other" products. Unsure of our current ruleset.

    Nah the FDAs still working on rejecting 99.9% of PMTAs. Takes a while.

    Personally I don't care if the govt starts loving vape tomorrow and lays off. I don't regret stocking up because I personally believe mainstream affordable 510 gear is on the way out and I'm a 510 vaper. Not for legal reasons, rather because the maturing vape market wants compact and convenient gear, like cigarettes. Pods and disposables fit that bill way more than 510 gear does.

    I do regret some purchases I made but fortunately that's only maybe 5% of my purchases and a small fraction of the total expenditure.

    When I started, there was basically just 510 cigalikes. Over time everything got bigger and better. Now it’s almost like it’s going backwards with the pods and disposable stuff.

    They do work better, though. The resistance on early cigalikes was too high to be satisfying enough to use regularly, for me. Certainly not enough to get me to switch. I've had a few. My first one was a 4081 model then 808 (better but still not good enough).

    I did find a decent cigalike a few years ago, but that company is out of business now. Had a small 510 tank with replaceable bottom coil head with cotton wick, auto draw and nice hit. Only 0.7ml though.

    A cigalike isn't as convenient as today's pods and disposables and certainly not as seksi to today's market. But you'll never catch me with a disposable or semi-disposable in my mouth. No closed system for me. I'm too acustomed to my simple, low-flavor juice. Can't stand mega flavor.

    Some of them do taste pretty good, for one or two drags. The young vapors around me all have those overly sweet things. Its like a sport, the sweeter the better.

    Was thinking of buying some (not the sweet ones, just a tobacco one) as a backup in the car, because always when I need it, my now backup Aspire AIO has rank liquid. Last time i stuck a fresh coil with sticky tape on the outside of a clean tank. Break in case of emergency. Maybe a disposables could be a bit easier, nicely packaged, open in case of emergency. Better a bad vape than old rank vape and even more so than a legacy smoke.

    I do promise if I need it in case of emergency, i will put up my hoody and sunglasses.

    Dad and I are not big fans of this pod change, we were just talking about the push to pods. I guess you're right though, I have enough 510 devices and tanks (and maybe coils) to last us both for our lives.
    Yeah, the push of pods (and disposables) is crazy. Convenience is the only lure I see from them. Even so, the type come with their own unresolved issues.

    I'm set on power packs, tanks, and most DIY. I'm currently in the reality deciding if I want to make my coils, but pre-made are sounding like the better way.

    Nothing wrong with that it you have the money to stock up on enough coil heads for however long you intend to vape.

    Pre-made definitely costs more. I've considered looking into buying by the case, that's 400 boxes/5ea. If I could find others who want to save/pitch in up front, the rewards would benefit many.

    Vaping will probably be with me the rest of my life

    Well IIRC you use nautilus coils. Unfortunately those aren't the cheapest but can find good deals. Check Sourcemore.com in china. Price will be a whopping $16 a pack for new customers but once you get 1 order under your belt you get bumped to "bronze" level account where price becomes $7.31/pack. Right now they have 10% off for new customers. If they end up being cheapest after shipping, make a small order just to get bumped to bronze level.

    Also check healthcabin.net. (china)

    Shipping's gonna be the deciding factor obviously.

    Expect 6-8weeks for delivery, cuz Chinese New Year.

    There are others but check those for now.

    If you'd rather buy within USA, $12 at ecigmafia.com.

    Aspire stuff is typically more expensive.

    I'm established at both mentioned. Hence my reasoning to buy a case.

    For a US Seller, they're not "too" bad. I'm also established there.
    Aspire stuff is typically more expensive.
    I've also purchased direct when all others were out of stock. Only when I was dumb and didn't stock up.
