I wonder if buying tanks and mods right now is not such a good idea. Az will probably tax the hell out of this stuff so for us in states that will take major advantage of situation should buy now. But those of you in more lenient states might want to hold back for now on hardware maybe. As nicotine becomes majorly expensive, I predict as expensive as cigs, people will probably go back to smoking or quit and the vendor will be left with all this hardware in the two years that are coming up, and want to unload it all before its too late. This is a definate possibility.Just thinkin out loud.

Or, the FDA will surprise us with a restriction on shipping anything that hasn't passed muster with their testing and approval process. I haven't seen that clause anywhere, but they are sneaky folks. Technically, we are supposed to be able to buy and the vendors are supposed to be able to continue selling anything that was already on the market on or before 8-8-16.

    Brett just reopened shop. He calls it Stone Mountain Drip Tips now. Do we trust him?
    I don't know what to think/say about that. I love his drip tips and have a ton of them. He is terrible at CS though. We were friends for a long time but he irritated me one time too many and I stopped following him long before he closed up shop.

    I read on a forum discussing customs seizures this year that packages shipped by Singapore Post may be the most at risk and that China Post may be safer. Also they pointed out that Fasttech has an option for discreet packaging (I don't recall seeing it when I placed my order) and recommend having any mods ship separately from everything else. Note, I do not know which countries those posting are in.

    I finally decided that it was time to stock up on nic and start to DIY from the bottom up. I bit the bullet and ordered two liters of 100mg/ml nic in 75pg/25vg from MyFreedomSmokes for $50 a liter. Along with that I ordered some FlavorArt flavorings and some mixing hardware.

    At my 3mg/ml nic strength that should make 66 liters of juice. Am I correct in thinking that 66 liters vaping at 200ml a month should last me for 27.5 years?

    200ml * 12 = 2400 ml a year
    66,000 ml / 2400 ml = 27.5 years?

    I may have over ordered on nic!

    Sounds like its to late for me to place an order from fastech? :cry:

    I hope not. I have one order left, some spare Kayfun tank sections. I was going to do that today. I was worried anyway because I never used FT before. Anyone got any thoughts on whether this is safe?

    Well that's not going to fair well with the "everything will be available for two years" crowd.
    We tried to warn those who were so confident "Nothing is wrong"

    I know Bureaucrats. Their word us NO good.

    Prep or repent a bad decision.

    Now that's something I can see a court reversing. You can't publish explicit rules about products allowed to be marketed for the next two years and then shut it down. They're violating their own guidelines as would the customs service if they would be unlawfully enforcing a ban on products already deemed marketable by the FDA.

    I placed my final stocking up order from FT yesterday morning (a few Pico skins, some cheap drip tips, etc.). During the Checkout process there WAS an option of choosing "Discreet Packaging", but I didn't choose it. I'd never seen that option before!

    Got the email this AM that it's already been shipped!

    between here and there
    The FDA has already sent letters out to the various shipping agencies. It's coming and it's coming fast.
    Do you know when the letters were sent? I have a couple packages still in China since the 21 of July with the messages Origin Post is Preparing Shipment or has passed through facility.
    These have taken the longest of all of my orders to process.
