Well, in PA it's simple: If you're the "importer" (even as a consumer), then the price you paid is considered the "wholesale" price, and you get to pay 40% of that. Whether CA or other states are going to handle it in a similar manner, I do not know.
Now THAT'S my kind of DIY! I'm always looking for interesting ways to utilize my doTERRA Essential Oils, and making household stuff is fabulous.

Amazon.com: Questions And Answers: How long does glycerin keep? Is there an expiration date? Thanks!
My sister lives in Oregon. She used to order her smokes online. She did it for lots of years. One day she received a sales tax bill. It was several hundred dollars. Fortunately they allowed her to make payments on it. The tax man will find a way
Funnily enuf, DPL and I were just discussing this, and comparing notes on just how much we had to pay in taxes for online cig purchases (years ago). Between us, we enriched the states some $$$$.00!
From where, Two_B? Do you by chance have a link to this?
I've probably written this before but may be it's worth writing again. Let's say I'm in PA and decide to buy my 10-20 year stockpile all in one go and pay the tax. So 5 liters of 100 mg nic, 10 mods andd 10 atomizers total cost $650 + $260 tax = $910. The $260 is a trivial amount over the 10-20 years I expect the supplies to last.
If shops mix their own then the tax is only on the cost of raw materials which is so trivial it's like no tax at all. My DIY is 1.2 cents per ml. What's the tax on that? lol
Buy some nic and put it in the freezer. It's sort of like buying gold for $35 an ounce. Actually that's exactly what it is.
True. But understand for some of us, it's the principle of the thing. They got more than enough in "sin taxes" from me when I was smoking. They will not get one red cent in such taxes from me for vaping.
What killed a lot of shops was the 40% floor tax on their entire inventory. Yes, for the shops that mix their own, the ongoing 40% on the cost of ingredients is no big deal. The question is, how long will they be able to continue mixing their own? The FDA cometh...
Then I'm gonna be rich.
Make way for gas tax, mileage tax and extra tolling.

Yeah, I know -- don't get me started. Most of my driving is between PA and FL and I've learned to fuel up in VA and SC.

Am I done stocking up? Never!
If I weren't so broke, I'ld still be buying. But, I intend to. I surely do.

I agree with you. The PA tax is about as well motivated as the Indiana tax.True. But understand for some of us, it's the principle of the thing. They got more than enough in "sin taxes" from me when I was smoking. They will not get one red cent in such taxes from me for vaping.

I am still stockpiling! All of the great sales since Black Friday, Cyber Monday, XMas,New Year and CNY have made it too easy to grab some more and pay less- Just when I thought I was done, those sales drew me back in!
Ive actually converted a few Amish Smokers here in Pa DP, they are well stocked with batteries,generators etc.............yeah Bek, PA is out of controll..............It's enough to make a man want to "Go Amish".
Wait! No vaping? Oh, man - THAT won't work.
I checked Amazon and lighting vapes still has all sorts of wire listed. Weird since they sent an email saying they were pulling the listings...
