I just jumped in here and saw your post and read a couple pages ahead and didn't see a response so...
What you said is true. There are 4 permit holders (mfg) that make juice and the remaining shops that haven't closed HAVE to buy their juice from these 4 manufacturer's. We can't buy online or receive juice from outside of Indiana. It was just announced that we can cross the state's border and buy juice and bring it back legally but if caught with it we'd have to prove in court that we purchased it out of state. Can anybody say monopoly? :grr:

That whole deal just makes me sick to my stomach :glare: I would be buying mine out of state and switching it into some empty cravinvapes bottles, seriously. I hope every day that they will win the legal battles against this horrible mess of a government and as for that security company... there is a special place in hell for people like that.

You get the picture.

I DIY so this new law doesn't really effect me that much but it still pisses me off. :-x What will they do next is what has me worried. I'm sure glad I don't live in Utah. :mad:

i have committed to storing the dead & broken mods when it happens just for their parts. body shells may become squonkers/other stuff. all of the buttons have the potential to be replacement buttons on another mod. ditto glass/chimneys/orings,, every bit of the dead mod --big leap for this minimalist.

I swiped my old card at a gas pump a few months back and got a notification on my phone for the transaction. 2 minutes later I got a transaction notification for a large purchase in a different state... That was likely a coincidence and it had been skimmed at an earlier date/time but I haven't swiped a card since.
my bank notified me as soon as they saw a $75 transaction in a bad part of town,,i have never been over there much less shopped there. that was like 3 years ago. now they contact me every now and then about my vape/china shopping,,,, and road trips. i dont mind,, although i do drop by the bank before road trips now to have my account flagged dif'ly while on the road.

We (my wife and I) rarely spend more than $400 in cash per year. Mostly during trips. CCs are too convenient. I even do not have space in my wallet for cash.
i keep cash stashed in my car,,places you may need a tool to get to.......years ago i always had a grand in the trunk.......emergency money/mad money for a good deal,,whatever money

I front pocket carry my minimal wallets (aluminum or titanium RFID wallets) but I generally keep 100 - 500 in cash on me at all times in case I need it (like when a store doesn't have a card chip reader that works).

Here is the current wallet I have been carrying for the past couple years -http://obstructures.org/shop/

It has silicone rings that I can slip some cash in. Actually due to hit the ATM.

The other thing in the background goes in the weak side pocket to protect what's in the strong side pocket next to the full size Glock. ;)

I have one of these titanium wallets from eoscases on it's way to me and can't wait. It doesn't have the same type of o rings so the cash will just be loose in my pocket or slipped in the center of the wallet with the cards:

It looks like I have a few more things to get after all. My wife still prefers slim tube styles so I am hunting down smaller VV tubes. Those, a few more things I like getting blown out and maybe another liter or so and we'lI be set. Watch out clearances, here I come!

Except for one mod that was PIF'd to me - I have multiples of the same mod (only two versions) - same with tanks - I can cannibalize down the road if necessary if my spare parts are not enough... :)

That is such a strange law to me. I fail to see how crossing state lines to purchase would be much different than an online sale. It sucks that you all have to deal with that.

I have a similar mindset on storing dead mods or at least there components when I have one die. Also don't discount the chips on dead mods, a regulated mod could die because of wiring so unless you've tested the chip it might still be good. Then again I'm the odd duck who went with only a few mods and stocked extra chips and 510s.

I front pocket carry my minimal wallets (aluminum or titanium RFID wallets) but I generally keep 100 - 500 in cash on me at all times in case I need it (like when a store doesn't have a card chip reader that works).

Carrying that much cash would actually freak me out more than the possibility of my card being fraudulently used. After having about $300 stolen on a trip a couple of years ago I carry minimum amounts of cash. Even though it can be a hassle getting money back from the banks so far I've always got it back and in only one case did I catch it before the bank did. The cash was gone for good, but to each their own.
