I'm all for careful preparation and having various supplies on hand. I have a bunch of mods and tanks now that were shopping spree justified by these regulations. But the truth is, in all of this, the one bottleneck is the nicotine. Control that, and that's the end of vaping for smoking cessation for the vast majority of vapers. But so long a nicotine remains available, all you absolutely need is a battery and some resistance wire, and those aren't going anywhere regardless of what's a "tobacco product" and what's not.

Based on what I've been reading around here, in the short term I'm more concerned with States' actions than the FDA. Just look at Indiana. They're shut down in a corrupt aggressive manner that pales in comparison to the FDA at the moment. I've read about issues possible in NM, and you know CA will be in on it. Fighting this state by state will be even more difficult, as no one (OK, maybe BT, but even they're screwed in IN now) will have the resources for 50 state lawsuits vs. one Federal lawsuit.

I'm kinda done with my hardware for now (OK, I sill have my eye on one or two more tanks), but my main approach going forward is to keep filling the freezer with nic, while still having enough room for maybe a 1/2 a shelf for frozen food. I'll get some flavorings along the way to experiment with, but even there, I doubt they will all be gone although probably relabeled "Not for use with vaping :D"

    My first DIY attempt turned out very well. 70/30(VG/PG), 18mg nic and a Strawberry and Banana mix. Shake daily and age for a week. It was good the first day and much better the seventh. Looking forward to my next attempt at a dessert flavor.

    Banana-FW (Size: 10ml)...

    Vouch. Tasty candy Banana on it's own. Try 18% in 60VG or 20% in 70VG
    I use it 10% in Max VG with 3mg (VG nic) & 5% saline for inhalation.
    I'm PG intolerant over ~10% and I'm used to 1/2 flavor now.

    Thanks guys/gals, could not do it without the help of all of you on ECF! This has been one heck of a ride, and I'll stick with you till they pull the plug on everything. :thumb:

    Well, I finally finished getting the NIC. It is a bit of a relief. In my opinion the first and foremost priority. I have MFS and NicSelect from Nicotine River (coupon RECIPESHOTS got me %10 off). I've been ordering and trying different RDAs, RDTAs, squonks, and mods to see what I'll decide on for stockpiling. the problem is, I keep changing my mind!

    That is the reason I chose to stock up on a variety of atomizers, I enjoy changing it up a bit. Tanks, genesis atties, bottom feeders, drippers, it's all good.

    Not even kind of. But I did get some new toys today. Griffin tank and a coiling kit. Needed an RTA, and I've been looking at one of these coiling set ups for ages. Now that I have one.....holy tacos, why have I been wrapping by hand for so long?!!!!!! This is so much easier.

    Still need hecka nicotine base, another regulated mod that accepts replaceable batteries, and a mech with some extra parts.

    Live my Griffin. I have it on my Procyon. 0.48 ohms at 35w w/ a kiwi/strawberry. Really Vapes well and is easy to wick. I'll probably pick up 2 more. lol. Will also probably pick up 2 more Herakles RTAs. They're good for higher wattages. Tons of airflow!

    Yeah I'm loving it so far. The deck is pretty big. I can pretty much do whatever I want. Took me a quick minute to figure out how to wick it properly. But now that I got it all is good. Had a bit of an upper hand with the learning curve though. Old school Kayfun user. This bad boy is definitely easier to work with.

    I have to buy 2 new tires for the van. There goes my shopping spree.

    I'm so glad I already stocked up on nic, enough until I'm 80+.

    I have to choose a brake job over more nic right now, but there's still time if I decide to go for more!
