Are you done stocking up?

[Semiretired]

Good question! I would hate to see them close, but have not heard of them submitting any devices for approval.

There has been enough said here and there that they cannot afford it, but if they are not selling in the U.S. do they have to comply??? I do not know if there is such a loophole, but it would be good to see if a company that put so much heart into their business could survive...

I think they would still need a tobacco products manufacturer license in WA and pay tax on those products, not sure what laws are in place for selling tobacco products out of the country??

I really hope everyone is pushing all of the people around them to push their representatives to add their names to 2058 and Bishop-Cole (www.august8th.org) while stocking up. We got my House Representative to add his name just last week.

I've even sunken so low as to asking for support from Facebook friends list and changing my profile pic to the same one I have here. Fights not over!

I love my Provari 2.5 ( I don't sub-ohm) but can't bring myself to pay for a Radius at the current pricing. I did get a couple of Eleaf Picos in case my tastes change in the future and they are great and for cheap money. I can't attest to the longevity of the Pico tho.

Knowing that the Provari 2.5s were SO much money when they came out, I just can't bring myself to pay $200 for a Radius only to watch the price plummet later on .... if Provape is still in business long enough to drop the prices that is.

Provari 2.5s are $49.95 at Provape right now, and they seem to have quite a few color options available.

I found this: https://www.ttb.gov/tobacco/manufacturer_products.shtml I guess this is the first process. Then they need a permit to warehouse tobacco products for export. Seems pretty much forms forms forms LOL

Simple way to tell the difference when you take it apart: Sophia V1 had a ceramic cup for the coil, the Sophia V2 doesn't.

Thanks for that. Didn't know.

Shall we all send this to FDA??

Got my Griffin 25 hitting and wicking so good by the way, really impressed. I would however feel a lot better about my stock right now if I could get the Kangetech Subohm RBA to wick properly, it's the only thing I have duplicates of and I have 4 with the two toptank kits on the way! I'll be attempting again tonight with even less cotton.

The only thing I should buy is another liter of nic. I have 3 liters. Ive worked myself down to 1 and 3 mg.

Im even making some at 0 and purposely dont label the zeros. Im hoping to only have nic on my NET DIY cigars and tobaccos. I drip those and dont use as much. I drip my NETs as a relaxing time so I dont go through them as much as my usual ADV of mint and light fruits.

I have enough RTAs and RDAs along with spare parts. I have more than enough mechs and spare bits, though I know that some will not need parts changed out for a few years, so probably have too many bits?

I have 3 reg devices, 2 Provari ( a 2.5 mini and a P3 stealth ) I feel pretty confident that these will out last the one fancy box mod I have, though it is a simple and well made device.

I figure if the pretty wood box fails I could have it converted to a mech.

I do still the urge to get a couple more RTAs, Kayfun mini V3.

I am very tempted to get one of the rebuildable cartos, like the Sophia V2? ( thats the one that doesnt need R-NR?)

Its hard not to go nuts and spend, spend , spend.

I did get one mod I used to have but sold and missed, even if it was not the best performer. Now that I have it, I worry about spare bits and pieces as the ELA is no longer made, not for a couple years now.


Im assuming that batteries , cotton, wire and PG, VG will not be hard to get, but Im sure there will be some re-sellers that will take advantage and hike the prices up, just because they can.

Nic is something that worries me, but again, if it does get hard to get , im weaning myself off so I wont freak out, I love the act of vaping and the gear so , I will always vape, nic'd or not.

I need to go thru my gear and get the info on the orings so I can stock up and maybe some insulators, and maybe.....

Figures - I guess I was just thinking out loud...

Sounds like you have a good handle on it! When I went looking for Sophia all I could find was a site in UK and Greece that sold them, I found one on Ebay, but keep searching one may pop up

 

[anavidfan]

Speaking of O-Rings.... I know these get dry with use and in the baggies.

Is there anything we can do to keep them most and flexible? Vaseline ok? I know there are some kosher/ FDA approved lubes . I suppose I could cover them with the lube and put them in the little bags so they dont just dry up and crack the day I need them.

I think someone mentioned PG/VG to keep them moist.

is the one you found on ebay from Greece?

One website I shopped last night has this as their banner:

Portable vaporizers and vaporizer pens designed for use in aromatherapy and respiratory relief.

Good try, but I'm pretty sure that will not keep them clear of FDA deeming...

 

[mostlyclassics]

I'm well stocked up for vapemageddon, but it occurs to me that the weak point in my stash is the electronics in my ProVaris. I know they seem like they'll last until Gabriel blows the Last Trumpet, but still . . . electronics can go wonky, especially with time.

If the ProVaris call it a life, then I'm down to mech mods. And the only mech mods I have are a couple of REOS, plus some replacement parts. I know they're bullet-proof, but I'm not fond of their form.

So, I'm looking for a bunch of good mech mods. Here's what I'd like:

1. Totally mech with NO electronics. (This rules out that snazzy Aspire CF, for instance.)

2. Tubular shape with fire button on side.

3. Takes 18650 batteries.

4. Happily takes Aspire Nautilus tanks.

5. Uses some sort of replaceable fire button that I can maybe install myself. (I'm fairly handy, to the point of rebuilding Vision Vivi Nova heads, and probably Aspire Nautilus heads.)

6. Isn't as expensive as a REO. I plan on buying a bunch of these, and my exchequer is a tad depleted at this point.)

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Viper Vapes has a 20% off sale code julyvip
I didn't look closely, so not sure what is on sale.

thx, tried ordering some squape clones for my house mate for if/when the naut coils are gone but keep getting connection error processing payment. probably a good thing, spent too much on vape the past week.

Got my Griffin 25 hitting and wicking so good by the way, really impressed.

I love my griffin 22 and pulled my 25 out of the box to wick/try next now that I have some triple 18650 mods that will fit/push it.

I'm not sure, said Sophia with Greek letters, maybe a clone??? Not sure! Guess I will find out once it arrives LOL

 

[ColoKaren]

I pulled my last two carto tanks (IBTanked) out of the vapocalypse box to show off on my nearly new Radii. I'd still use these as daily drivers if Ikenvape could still supply those magical Nitro fillerless cartos. Nothing else is worth my time and money.

#6 - Are you saying you do plan on buying a bunch of Reos?

If not, and please do not take this as me being a FanGirl...

I never used a mech, I've been vaping almost 4 years, I'm mostly ONLY used the ProVari mini's with extension caps. I was scared to death to get a mech. I went with a Reo (June of this year). The support here from the Reo owners is PRICELESS!! Truly nice peoplle, and soooo helpful!!
It's a rock solid mod, and a GREAT vape (RM2 atty) I can't speak for sub ohm, I don't.

Had I tried a Reo long ago, my doomsday stash would look much different that it does today, and I would have spent far less than I did...far less.
I just bought my 2nd Reo last weekend.
Oh, and I didn't like it at first...learning curve. After the first few days, it all clicked, and now my regulated mod hasn't been seeing much action.
