But those include anything that have the word istick in them, including silicone sleeves, or charging cords, or those bending adapters, etc. They're "nailing" people's listings that are actually for the mods and tanks mainly so far. Same thing with KangerTech, Innokin, etc. Many sellers aren't even putting name brands in their listing titles or descriptions any more because of it. They'll say they're "authentic" within the listing, but still won't say the brand...since eBay's spiders also search by descriptions, too.
I see zero hard evidence that Apple, Google, or ebay are restricting vape apps or products or that they are seriously considering it. Either stuff starts disappearing from their sites or they make a public announcement. Otherwise, it's nothing but vapor.

Sorry, but i got an email from the owners of ecf themselves that was sent out to all members of ecf. Look in your spam folder, it's where I found mine. Believe it or not....

I didn't say anything about what is or is not being done by Appl or Google. My post was about vaping products on eBay. You can believe what you want, (as we all can), but eBay is well-known for removing listings at their own discretion, for any reason THEY deem worthy. I also have friends who still sell on eBay who have experienced the same thing with their vaping related listings...as Two_Bears has with some of his.

I was an eBay seller myself from 2000-2010, and a buyer for years before that. I've personally experienced the way they pick and choose what listings to remove, and the reasons they give when they do it.
 
You don't say what mg your nic base is, but IF it's 100mg/mL nic...To make eliquid at 3mg nic...it only takes 1.5mL of your nic base for each 50mL of eliquid you make. So, your 900mL is enough to make 600 50mL bottles of eliquid at 3mg nic. That's a bunch! So, let's say you vape 50mL per week. Those 600 bottles will last you 11.53 years! Of course, if you vape more than 50mL/week, that'll cut it down accordingly.
Yep, my base is 100mg/mL, and to be honest I've only used 1ml per 30ml of juice in the last few batches I've mixed. :)

    Ran out of money and am not currently working so I guess I'm done.

    Don't cry for me, I have enough mods/tanks/nic to last 30 years. :thumb:

    Is nice to keep seeing new products on websites though, that one fell all the way through the cracks.

    They pulled all of my listings that were vape related with a warning if i relisted those items items my acct would be yanked. I was a top seller on eBay with 16 year old acct.

    Did they send a written warning that you can show? Did they give reasons? 10's of thousands of vape related items are listed on ebay at this moment.

    I think I am all set but a tiny voice in the back of my mind keeps trying to tell me to pick up a couple more liters of 100mg/ml nicotine. It is also telling me that it is possible that those that are out to protect us :facepalm: will start requiring pg/vg manufacturers to add something that would make it taste bitter thus making it unvapeable. It is telling me to get some more ordered since I don't trust any of them any farther that I can throw them. I am pretty well set as far as battery holders and e-liquid holders.
    I'd be happy to stock up, but even in the best conditions, won't this stuff last only a couple years anyway? I didn't realise the situation was getting so dire over there, I am really starting to believe it's loss of tax dollars on cancer sticks.. purely political nothing more. Anyway, any tips to keeping stuff last a decade if possible would be awesome, i'd then stock up like crazy.

    I wonder if you already have it if that'll go away too?

    I have an eLiquid calculator on my iPhone that is no longer available in the App Store. Apple pulled all eJuice calculators.

    Sometimes I get a prompt that says the app could slow down my phone and needs to be updated by the developer ... nice try Apple.

    It's been working fine since day one.

    i have heard of this over the years with ebay,, quite random. (probably someone hitting the quota who works for ebay in counterfeit dept.) dont worry,, i am not going to demand you prove it happened. :)

    It appears nic concentrate, stored optimally might last indefinitely. A forum participant has a 7 year old bottle in the freezer and says it is still fine. My favorite atomizer is a reletively simple rda that cost me $7 each. I figure 10 of those should last 10 or 20 years even if I'm replacing some generic parts along the way. It gets more complicated with mods. I prefer temp control so that means regulated devices with oled screens that might expire in 10 years even sitting on a shelf. The 510 threading might wear out. How many clicks can the fire button take? I'm betting the screens are generic and will still be available in 10 years and the same for fire buttons that a competent electronics repair person could replace. There are no garrantees but I'm confident that for less money than I used to spend to smoke for 3 months ($650) I have the critical items for 10 years and may be 20. Even if Trump or the courts or congress come to the rescue I'll never trust government to let me vape in peace. I'm going to have some supplies no matter what.

    I'll add that as the August 2018 date approaches, if the bans appear to be ever more likely I might increase my stockpile. I won't know until more happens. But what I have now seems prudent based on the current status of things.

    Glass bottles, minimal head space, in your freezer. Seems to keep indefinitely that way, There are reports from people who've stored it that way for almost 7 years who say it's indistinguishable from new. I can personally vouch for 3 years.

    This. If nothing else, they will impose draconian taxes at the state & local level. This has already started in some states; my home state of PA being just one example. It's a very nice feeling knowing that they will never get a penny from me in those taxes.
