My wife and I are in decent shape. I'm about done with atties. I have enough parts for 20-25 kayfuns with replacements for my replacements. I might add some more v3s and v5s just cuz. I have 10 good drippers and I'm the only one who uses them so I'm good there.

I'm getting close to done on mods. I have 6 picos, 4 VTC minis, and 2 cloupors to share with my wife and a stash of brand new mechs. I'll probably add another 6-8 reg mods. I have some old vamos and zmaxes that I could use if I live longer than I expect.

I've been diy juice for 2 years so I'm pretty good there and aren't all that worried about flavors. I need 1 final big nic buy. Just trying to figure out how much from who. I do feel a lot better than I did a month ago. My mailman must think I'm insane. Lol

Oh, just got a Bellus tank delivered from MVS that I ordered yesterday as it was on sale, and I wanted another single coil for my stash. When I opened it, I realized I had forgotten I bought it just yesterday and wasn't even keeping my eye out for a delivery. Maybe it's time for me to put the credit card away.

Haha I'm in Ohio :). They're laws on vaping aren't that strict honestly

Even if my brother owned the vape shop and told me not to worry ... I would still be stocking up for my own peace of mind.

I got a few more Kayfuns and a Malstrom and did get a Pico to try :) After seeing my vape supply look sort of small after organizing everything, figured a few more things won't hurt :) LOL Still holding off on any big ticket items until things go drastically on sale on like Procyon or Radius for example :) Other wise I feel pretty good on stock even if it doesn't take up much space! LOL

Well, if you have way more than you need, there's not much point in your shopping like that. Me, I have been so frugal all these years, I've only bought just enough to squeak by. If I want to be able to sleep at night, I feel I need to ensure my future will be a non-smoking one. My needs are relatively modest though. I won't be emptying anyone's shelves.
My future will also be a smoke-free one. Have been at this close to 3 yrs and the FDA all up our @$$ is not enough to make me go back to cigarettes but I do see it happening for some people; which is sad but a reality. For those of us who frequent forums, we will be prepared for what comes next yet the average John & Jane Q Public who know nothing about these forums will be the ones I see going back to traditional smoking.

Yes some people I am sure have no idea what is going on. I feel bad for them! I am glad I stocked up for whatever and am set got the long haul. I never was one to have all the latest gadgets so I will be content with what I have stocked. But I did get a few new shiny things I would not have ordinary bought.

I just went by my local smoke shop to pick up a bottle of Tribeca for travel on Monday (they're the only ones who carry it around me). They didn't know the deeming rules even passed, or that Halo was suing the FDA. I asked what their plans were and they pointed to all the tobacco products they otherwise sell such as cigars, and if they have to drop vape stuff, they will still be in business. However, the guy there expressed sympathy for all the real vapes shops that have nothing to fall back on and will likely fold.

I don't understand why businesses that will be impacted by FDA regulations aren't informed. Why isn't there something in place in the government machine to send out such warnings?

The fact that many shops dont have a clue what's going on doesn't surprise me. As I say all the time, it seems those in the know are those who get the news first on forums- outside of this, many people dont know what's going on.

Because govt carefully crafted the deeming and related press releases to keep as many people in the dark as possible. The plan: by the time they know what hit them it will be way too late. It's a form of guerilla warfare.

Well, I intend to find out why such a warning system is not in place and if it's possible to work on doing something about it.
