I just drove 17 hours from Fl to Wv. Was too tired to sleep. Had to wind down from road tension.

Don't worry about the number of posts anyone has, just have fun and exchange info. The pool of knowledge here at ecf is surpassed by none and the members here are the best there is. Please don't view the number of posts anyone(including yourself) has. It is not a competition. LOL.
:)
Of course it is. I wanna win! ;-)

So what is the deal with this regulation thing? Like are all the mods, tanks, coils, etc. available right now going to be kiboshed completely or just kept under watch?
If Congress doesnt stop the FDA deeming regulations, and assorted court Cases against the FDA fails 99% of all vaping products will be banned in 35 months of less

If vaping is important to you take $500-750 and buy nicotine base, RDAs or RTAs a few backup mods, and learn how to DIY Ejuice and rebuild.

Several companies that build attys, mods, and made ejuice have already went out of business. They don't see any point of spending $ millions to pass the PMTA process when the FDA has only had one product pass the PMTA in 3-4 years.

I had hoped that congress would stop the FDA with HR2058 or THR Cole Bishop ammendment but tge congress and Senators are pretty much gutless.

I have been a Survivalist for 43 so hoping for the best but prepping for the worst comes natural.

I guess I must be stocked up. None of the sales are even tempting me :D I looked at those $5.00 Kanger evod kits (2-650mAh batteries, a 5 pk of coils, 2 evods and a charger) and considered picking up a few of them in case I met someone that could use them but since I don't get out much I feel sure that isn't going to happen so I passed on them. I thought about getting some more Vanilla custard from Bull City but I already have 270mls of it. I can't think of a single thing I need and at this point nothing else I even want. It feels good to be well stocked but is a bit sad too :(

I concur. It's why I've also been buying lots and lots of juices lately.. I've stocked up to almost 6 months worth of my favorite bulk premiums and lots of 30ml top shelfs..
You should really learn to DIY. It is really much more cost effective and you know exactly what you are vaping because you make it yourself. It is not hard at all. Just a small learning curve. And plenty of members to help if you get stuck. Head on over to ecf's DIY thread and read.

THIS

I can't wait for my over-priced store bought juice to be gone so I can hopefully forget how much money I wasted on premium non-diy juice. The clones I am making of the stuff I used to vape are every bit as good, even if they aren't an exact 1:1 match for flavor.

Ah luckily I haven't ran into this yet. How do you like the pico? I'm considering it to replace my eLeaf 40W TC.
The Pico is my go to mod. I like it better than the Joyetech eVic VTC Mini.

1. The battery goes in poxitve Post down with vent holes on the bottom. It it vents the gasses will be directed away from your face.

2. Fires 1-75 watts on 1 18650.

3. Does power mode or TC.

4. Tge main reason I LOVE IT is sincs the bottom of tge atty is 10-11 mm below the end of the battery it is pocket Friendly.

There is one caveat of the Pico. If you lime 24 mm and larger diameter attys you will not be able to use them on the Pico. The largest diameter Atty you can use on the Pico is 23 mm.

You are so bad :evil: Just placed my very last order!! at OSDIY. I am done, I tell ya.

Finally finished organizing/labeling. Fit it into 2 big plastic tubs, 2 stand up cabinets and about 7 smaller containers, not counting the 4 gals of pg/vg.
Good job!!! Hubby is going to build me a cupboard, can't wait as my stock is mostly boxed but not all stored away yet :)

Same for me.

Kinda hard to go TC when i have

450 feet 26 gauge Kanthal
90 feet 25 gauge Kanthal
75 feet 28 gauge Kanthal

I think i have enough Kanthal to last about 3 lifetimes. ;-)

Glad DIY Ejuice is working so well for you.

Absolutely man. Wire is so dirt cheap. You save so much building your own coils and also you know exactly the quality of metals and wick your coil is using. I know those who don't have the time or struggle with those things can always buy coils, like my mom, whom I got to start vaping instead of smoking not too long ago.

Good for you! But if something catches your fancy you may get the shopping bug :) I too am pretty much done, have plenty of everything, I am now content to make new juices and play with flavors :) But if I see something I want to try, I get it :)

Darn!
I did stock up to some degree and hesitated to do more. I guess I am too positive that it will turn out alright. What I have is good for at least 2 years both for hardware and juice and I kept on thinking it is a long time until then. I feel like it was yesterday I started subohm 2 years ago so it might as well be tomorrow when my stash is out.
Back to shopping........
I have stockpiled for 5-7 years.

Others here ARE prepping for 30+ years.

Only prep items that tge deeming regulations will take off the market.

No need to prep

VG
PG
18650 batteries
Cotton or Rayon for wicking

Prep the following.
Get backups of backups of mods with replaceable batteries, RDAs or RTAs. Don't prep tanks that only use premade coils. When the FDA bans them from the market the coil heads will go bye bye too.
Prep nicotine base, flavors, and possibly resistance wire.

I have
8 18650 battery mods
3 Kayfuns
3 Silverplay Nano
1 Hurricane Jr.
5 mods I use that uses premade coil heads, and 50 spare coil heads. I may get more while i can.

Also, good to keep in mind how many years you think you might want to vape. I am older so don't really need this much stuff but hey, I will (hopefully) NEVER have to give one penny to anyone connected to making this mess happen. In my case, my state will probably tax the crap out of anything still on the market and I don't want to give them one dime after our legislators were so pro FDA deeming regs.
Exactly what i say. Make those Bureaucrats irrelevant.
 
LOL!!! :lol: :lol:
NO WAY IN HELL do I ever try to catch up being that many pages behind. Normally I'll jump straight to the last page. There's enough quoting going on that I feel I'll get most of what's been discussed in my absence.

I try to read every post in threads. I've only been around one year and I'm learning from everyone. Still developing quite a bit of knowledge.

I also try to remember to give everyone a "LIKE" especially if they put a lot of thought and effort in to their message. Lots of nice people here! :wub:

Well I already consider all of us winners. Hey, we beat them as long as we prepare and stock up.
:)
If that is true then I have succeeded.

Joined ECF 14 months ago and been warning vapers to prep just in case almost since day 1.
