Although tobacco is regulated in Nevada Revised Statutes by Chapters 202 (“Crimes Against Public Health and Safety”) and 370 (“Tobacco: Licenses and Taxes; Supervision of Manufacturers and Wholesale Dealers”), the Nevada Legislature clarified, with the passage of Senate Bill 79 (Chapter 435, Statutes of Nevada) during the 2015 Session, that certain alternative nicotine products and vapor products are not to be regulated and taxed in Nevada as other tobacco products. Senate Bill 79 redefines “other tobacco products” to exclude alternative nicotine or vapor products, clarifying that these products are not subject to tobacco taxes.

That's rude. I think your neighbor should go to the post office for you.
I just watched a u-tube video that showed how to rebuild Nautilus BVC coils. Interesting except the guy just had music playing and didn't utter a sound. I need to know what type of wire was used? It looked very small so I assumed it was a micro coil build? Where would I purchase that hand held torch? Are some better than others. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Things like small hand-held torches you can also get from places like Lowe's or Home Depot, Wal-Mart or Tractor Supply..

If you have a gas cook top skip buying a torch.You can pass a length of wire through the open flame to anneal it. Hold it with pliers on one end to pass it through. I use some thin wire on a couple of atomizers sometimes and have always done it this way to stiffen the wire rather than buying a torch.
I remember when Marlboro cigarettes went up to 13.00 a carton, at that time I said if they hike the price again I swear I'll quit smoking.. lol.. I didn't quit until they were about 50.00 a carton.
I wonder when those guys up there finally figure out how to quit. I can't imagine spending that much.
I don't know about that. The whole southeast is blanketed - I see a lot of rainy days in the forecast...
The last cigarette I smoked was from my out of state stash. The prices in NY are craaaayzeee.
Ok, found it. From China...
seems like you'd need a little person and a tiny screw driver.
OMG, a caller just mentioned the unmentionable
I strongly strongly strongly advise against these unless you have the hands of a surgeon and microscopic vision. These are not for the faint of heart and nearly impossible to coil/wick.
I know of 1-2 ECFers that are using them and at least a dozen that either gave them away or beat them to death with a hammer!
Just read this in epic times. So what, a carton of cigarettes is 200 smokes and you would pay $87 on top of the price of the cigs in NY but only $3.40 more in Missouri. I don't understand this. Everywhere in our little island are round about £10 for 20 benson & hedges
Missouri $3.40
New York $87.00
Since 2002, 47 states, Washington DC, and several U.S. territories have increased their cigarette tax rates more than 120 times. The states in bold below have not increased their tax for at least 10 years (since 2006 or earlier).
Currently, 32 states and DC have cigarette tax rates of $1.00 per pack or higher; 15 states and DC have cigarette tax rates of $2.00 per pack or higher; eight states have cigarette tax rates of $3.00 per pack or higher; and one state (New York) has a cigarette tax rate more than $4.00 per pack.
And least you think the rise in price of cigarettes is due to greedy corporations raising their prices, just the opposite is true. In January 2003, Philip Morris instituted a 65-cent per pack price cut for four of its major brands, to replace its retail-level discounting and fight sales losses to discount brands, and R.J. Reynolds followed suit.
Overall All States' Average: $32.20 per carton
Major Tobacco States' Average: $9.70 per carton ("Tobacco states" are KY, VA, NC, SC, GA, and TN)
Other States' Average: $35.2 per carton
Missouri $3.40
New York $87.00

I use these and the v1 versions of them. I agree they are NOT for the faint of heart - simply rebuilding the old BDC heads is much simpler and easier.
While both the v1 and v2's are a royal PITA to put together, the v1's can be wicked with Silica rope and depending on what you vape can last months before needing to be cleaned/rewicked. The v2's can't be wicked with rope. (or at least I have not figured out a way to do it.)
The v2's built with a vert coil they are kinda a PITA to wick/rewick. Built with a horz coil wicking is easier. I bought a package of 10 so built up a few at a time. They can extend the use of Nautilus tanks beyond using factory (authentic or Chinese clone) coils.
Did someone say this thread would be slowing down now? Since I went to bed at 9:30 pm PST last nite, and got on ecf at 5:30 am this morning, I had 4 pages to catch up on. So much for slowing down, eh?
Are you comparing carton price and pack price? If you pay 10 L's (US keyboard) for a pack, that would be 100L's for a carton of 10 packs. I never really broke out the prices for the smokes/tax/more tax, etc. When I quit, a carton was $58.50 including the 7.5% sales tax or $5.85 per pack. My ciggy store didn't break out the sales tax, and just had a total including tax price for the smokes.
A few years before I quit, my state technically raised the tax on smokes by starting to charge sales tax when it had not been charged prior to that. Sin taxes are often a good target because the non-sinners are more likely to support taxing the other guy.
In NY, I can't remember the last time (before vaping) that I bought a whole carton given the high prices due to taxation. However when I traveled somewhere with reasonable prices, my luggage was packed with more than just my dirty clothes on my return.
So now that my stock pile is complete my plan is a mission of maintaining. On the 7th the day before deeming I had an ego tank I use stop threading on my battery (almost a year old so got good use of it) and decided to take one out of my stock and replace with two. This will be my mindset going forward. As I need to replace items I plan on purchasing double to continue stocking for as long as I can.
When I quit, cigs here were $8.50/pack $80/carton. They are up over $9 a pack now. No matter how much I spend on stockpiling, I've still saved a ton of money by switching to vaping! I figure I spent at least $5,000 a year on smokes! 
@Eskie I used to do the same thing. Especially when traveling down South.
I think I'm pretty well done with stockpiling. I may order another liter of nic between now and the end of the year. And will probably continue to pick up odds and ends. I think I'm set for mods. For toppers, I have been trying a ton, but the three that are keepers/stockpilers are the Derringer RDA, Kayfun Mini V3 RTA, and the Nectar RDTA (the one with 4.5 ml capacity).

I feel the same. From this point forward my purchasing will be at a rate similar to stocking prior to the regs release, and not the "order a lot for the vapocalypse" type buying. It looks like for at least the nest several months I'll still be able to buy both hardware and juice without too much of a headache.
