House juices aside, most B&Ms/online vendors wouldn't fall into these categories. Would they? If all they do is sell an already packaged product, it would be similar to any gas station selling actual tobacco products. Provape, Volcano, and Vaporshark are screwed. At least in the near-term. I would imagine that some kind of trade negotiation/tariffs would be placed on foreign imports. Hopefully they won't be outright banned until big brother deems them safe. I've put on my tinfoil hat and bought a few new mods, tanks, DIY supplies, etc. Should be good for a while. Still looking for a tube mod just for giggles.

Yes, mixing and selling e-juice is the big one to make our vendors a manufacturer. And as you said, those companies making and selling mods (ect, Provape) will need to file their paperwork. Technically if they purchase factory coils in packages of 5 from China (as many of them do) and take them apart to sell as singles (as many do) that also would make them a manufacturer. As long as whatever finished product they purchase (from US or Imported) they turn around and sell "exactly" as they bought it they don't have to file as a manufacturer.

Just wanted to say thank you JC, I took the plunge into DIY juice. I needed the push!

You're welcome! A discount IS a nice added incentive, isn't it? :)

When you get your DIY "stuff", if you have questions, need recommendations, etc....there are many to help you here on the ECF. The DIY E-Liquid forum has a bunch of info in the stickies (discussions at the top of page 1), and many members regularly visit that forum to help each other with individual DIY questions, too. You're hopefully going to love DIY! I know I sure do, and I wish I hadn't waited a couple years to start it myself.

    Recovery going great but after an traumatic event I'm working my way back here and learning new things is a pain in the ...... learning to ask for help instead of trying to do everything on my own.

    So... How the hell do you get this Therion into Nickel mode? Going to suck down some HHV in my toptank kit until someone figures it out.

    Shouts to ... ugh San Fran dude that put me onto Therions. Dad and I working on looking forward and we both haven't had time to look at these. Thanks folks!

    Hope everyone is having a wonderful day!

    *edit* I've learned I wasn't always purposely breaking the rules... sometimes I just forget. Didn't even remember that there was a filter. Thanks to admins for keeping me around and cleaning up my messes!

    Lots of good reviews if you do MTL and want a rebuildable. I will probably grab a few for the vape stash for the others in my house that do MTL so I have something rebuildable for them if we can't buy replacement coils in the future for the tanks they use now.

    Congrats on getting into DIY.

    What do you think so far?

    One word of advice when making new recipes make tiny batches better to toss 5 ml than larger batches.

    Another record all your recipes ans Mark the failed recipes with fail so you have a record of what does and DOESNT work.


    What do I think so far? Wowzer I'm in over my head! New skill to learn, I want to at least be able to continue vaping. I've found a few good sites that are educational. It will be awhile before I do any blending, but I'll be ready. Thank you for asking.

    No worries.It is actually a lot easier than it sounds,once you get started you will have good juice going in no time.The easiest way to start out is to find a few recipes that sound good,and get the flavors needed for those recipes,then before you know it,you will end up with so much juice you won't know what to do with it all haha.

    Thanks b.m. for the pep talk! I found a recipe forum with a stellar calculator, looking for clones for my faves. I have a huge stash of juice, but use just 3 as adv, picky picky me.

    Well, I've got 2 ideas:

    (1) You could drive it down here and leave it, since I live on 10 acres. Plenty of room for it here! But, it would be much much closer to put it on b.m.'s property...since he's in Ohio and so is BA!

    (2) Buy it as part of a Co-op deal with ECF members, then you and about 9 friends could bottle it up for us and send it on! Shouldn't take you too long to do that...10 people with 45,000 lbs of it = only 4,500 lbs per person = just 450 1-gallon jugs for each person to bottle. Piece of cake I'd think! :D

    That works out to only ~ $3.85/10lb. jug of it! I'll take 4 of them...delivered to me in FL of course. :banana:

    Appreciate all the storage offers! The question is, if I put a few of those 55 gallon drums of nic from Heartland behind the tanker truck, do you think I'll have a hard time proving to the FDA inspector it really IS just for personal use? I mean, I do vape a fair amount, and as I expect to live at least another 350 to 400 years, it turns to to be sorta reasonable it's all for personal consumption, right?:lol::lol:

    Yeah,that's it,i was thinking of how much fuel it would save since their close to me,yeah that's it,and if a few gallons dissapear over time,it evaporated,i swear haha. I can only wish i had 10 acres,but i'm sure i could squeeze it back there somewhere haha.

    Depends on IF the FDA inspector is a vaper, too...I'd think! Or...how opposed he/she might be to alittle extra cash in their stocking! :)

    Come to think of it, I wonder if anyone working for the FDA is a vaper? Their job would particularly stink for them, now and longterm, if all their garbage goes through, wouldn't it?

    I don't know if it's a real Genny. The deck is in the middle of the tank, and there is juice above the chamber too. I still don't get how that column of liquid doesn't push down and flood the chamber, but I guess that's what the wick is for. Still, it is a unique design.

    Yeah, but after the tanker truck and the drums of nic, I'll probably have to watch my spending and bribe money habits for a little while.

    If the FDA destroys vaping in America, the livestock farmers in colder climates will be the master vape juice bootleggers as big farms go thru mucho VG in the winter. Not unheard of to have dozens of barrels on hand. What's a bunch of gallons of nic? ;)
