    Well, I received email from eliquid supplier. I had asked about what happens with regulations and they smiled and avoided it. We all speculated as to why vendors were acting like they had no clue or whatever. The email explained they didn't want to say anything until they had everything in order. They are planning to move forward and stay in business.

    I guess this is encouraging, if suppliers really are working on how to navigate this mess.

    I got this from Good Life Vapor today:

    The Wonderland Collection is a story about the history of vapor industry. We tried to develop something that was truly unique and told our story throughout the years. As many of you know, August 8th is very close and on that day, the market will freeze. By law and according the deeming FDA regulations, no new products will be allowed to be released without a Pre-Market tobacco Application. This application requires documentation that is nearly impossible to obtain by any business within the industry. Within 2 years, you will see 99% of the vapor industry close their doors for good. We ask that you please email, call, and txt your state and federal representatives to let them know how vaping has improved your life.

    A little late, here in my hometown they just started mentioning about deeming regs a couple weeks ago. a local vape shop started asking for people to write their congressmen and sign petitions and come in to the store for further info. Our local shock jock is a vapor and discusses and promotes vaping but has said nothing about the deeming and fda. I even heard him talk 30 minutes ago about a local vape shop that had their last flavor realease party last night and how big of a turnout they had. But not one word about why it was their last flavor release party. What gives ?

    A little late is right. Many businesses seem to now suddenly decide to pull their heads out of the sand.

    I think they might have been thinking their was going to be a diferent outcome were internet sales were going to be banned and we would be stuck paying for overpriced monopolized goods. I have not been in a b&m in over 3 years and I know they are missing our money. Just wondering if maybe they were being hush hush because they didnt want us to affect that, but now they realize their ship si sinkinking they want us onboard with them, well screw em I and most of us are set and we will he;lp others through this if they want it.

    I still say they were all aware but playing it quiet so as not to disrupt sales from the average person coming into their shop or buying online who didn't know about the regs. Trying to get as much as they could while they could.

    I had the same thoughts. I vape not to smoke. The money I have spent on stocking up is a sunk cost. I do want to quit vaping but it will be on my terms and timeline. It might be 5 years or it might be 25. I don't care either way. I have prepared myself for as many possible outcomes as I can. Can't prepare for everything.

    Yep, what he said...

    This....

    $8.85 Nemesis Styled Stainless Steel Mechanical Mod (Nemesis, SS, Silver - C) at m.FastTech.com

    I have an authentic Nemesis that cost 15x more and this mod is excellent for under $9. Not as good as the authentic, but who cares? I liked mine so much, I ordered 2 more.

    Quality mod for stupid cheap

    Thanks for the tip, BreSha6869!

    Just for grins, and to be a guinea pig, I ordered five of these from FasTech on Friday, August 5th. No way will they ship before the 8th. If Customs seizes them, I won't be out much.

    I'll let this thread know what happens.

    Vape Mail Call! I got my Coil Master Tab and Zephyrus that hubby ordered for me. From FT, I got some Unicorn kinda bottles, couple packs of screws, brush set (already have some- great for cleaning cool coils and washing tanks), 2- 50m spools of wire, Knight mech clone, magnets for my nemesis and mini screwdrivers. I really like them..they are easier to hold than the tiny blue ones. Good for on-the-go coiling kits.

    What did you get today?

    I'm sure I will! Still stewing over that piece-a-junk Geek Vape tab. :grr:

    I never had the Geek Vape so can't comment (sounds like you didn't like it:)) but the Coilmaster 521 has been great. Really makes building, burning, and wicking go nice and fast.
