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.
No. They just sent an internal eBay message.

Would have to have a screen shot app otba second device to take a photo. I have neither. My computer is an iPhone.

If you don't want to believe me don't believe me. I don't give a ____ either way. I'm just telling you what happened.

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.
You only need to stock up a few things

Nicotine. People stire nic in freezer and some ECF members are vaping 6 year old nicotine.

Rebuildable attys. Those will be good for years

Mods. Provari and mech's will be good for 5+years.

I would stock up flavors you like.


These have NO need to prep

Resistance wire is used in hair dryers, clothes dryers.

VG used in hand lotion, Wine industry in airlocks and non fermentable sweetener, as a preservative in tinctures, making soap, and much more.

PG. Used in flavor extracts, animal safe antifreeze, in ice cream to prevent ice cream from freezing solid and much more.

18650 batteries. Used in flash lightde battery packs got cordless tools etc.

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. :)
Just about everything i sold was a clone abd clearly identified as such.

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.
Exactly. That is why i say prep so you can make the Bureaucrats irrelevant.

It doesn't hurt to have stocks of any of this stuff, especially when your home state thinks you should pay a 40% tax on anything that you buy that you intend to use for vaping. Now I wouldn't miss any meals if I had to pay a 40% tax on PG, VG, or resistance wire, but it just warms my insides to know I'll never have to pay it. :)

That's the one thing I haven't stocked up on due to shelf-life issues. Li-Ion batteries lose capacity every year even when not cycled at all and stored at an optimal charge level.

I've updated IOS several times ... even setup a new iPhone from iTunes and the app is still there.

I don't use the cloud for anything though ... maybe they steal it back if you backup via iCloud.

How I store my Nicotine I bought and stored enough to last the rest of my life with some left over and expect the first bottle purchased and stored to be as good as the last. It really is ALL about the lost revenues. After reading my blog on storing my nic you may want to take a moment to read my thoughts on exactly WHY all of this is happening.

I saw a post from lighting vapes on another form saying their wire was pulled from Amazon. I didn't research it further. Geesh. I thought wire would be safe.

I got an email from LV saying that

It's that lovely little line in the FDA Deeming Regs about "Intended Purposes"


That wire is now a "Nicotine Product" "Tobacco Product"


smh...

Does that mean we should add wire to our stockpiling efforts?
I did and will be buying more this summer. regular round wire is cheap so I have lots of that stashed for later while I use up my clapton reels I bought, and will be getting more of each. The price will likely never go down (only up) and it's not like it will ever go bad.

With that line of thinking any product on the market could be considered this way. It's sad they are so ridiculous

Totally agree :cry:

It's always better to be safe than sorry

My thoughts too



and before someone jumps all over me - I meant Tobacco Product, not Nicotine Product

I'm a little perplexed. I thought wire, like batteries and pg&vg had alternate uses. How do they know what a person is buying it for?!
easy to make that assumption when the company selling it has the word vape in their business name
