stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
From Essential Depot's e-mail:
"The upcoming Feb 2017 Federal E-Cig Regulations have caused a spike in sales to the 5000+ vape Shops we supply. The associated demand spike across the industry has caused VG and PG prices to go up significantly. Our manufacturer and supplier is giving us one more week to purchase at our current price. Please help keep your price as low as possible by ordering at the current price before August 1st."
meantime,, the hole in this story is that many vape shops that make ejuice are actually closing. VG prices also correlate a bit with oil prices. (there is a world wide glut of oil).

I am sure there is a spike in VG/PG in the DIY sector,, but not so much in the commercial sector.

For me, ordering the 1 gallon each from Amazon would cost $46.78($9.00 shipping, and tax). So for $15.62 more, I got 2 more gallons ordering from ED.

Yes, starting to lean back that way myself I think. Ugg, too much stress on all this. Did I say I wasn't buying any mods/tanks? I already got a couple carts loaded up with 3 or 4 hundred bucks worth of stuff again. :blink:

    ED pg/vg cube is 39.00 plus 19.50 for shipping, not quite 60. If you live closer to them (FL I believe), you can look under shipping options and it may be cheaper than the 19.50. I can't imagine anyone paying more than 19.50 since it goes by weight and distance and I am about as far from FL as you can get and stay in the US. :lol:

    I am in CT and the shipping for a cube was $23! :eek:

    Ok, carto vapers, I need help! I was placing an order with DFW and got a couple of these IBTanked tanks:
    IBTanked random color

    The tanks measure about 45mm tall.

    Would these fit it? Big Daddy XL Smoktech Single Coil 1.7 ohm Cartomizers - $0.75 : Big Daddy Vapor Am I looking for XL cartos? I don't need flanged, right? So confused. :confused:

    I wish I could have done more research, but I was trying to grab them and get an order placed. When I went to YouTube, all the IBTanked tanks have names.
    That looks right, flanged is better, but you can use those, just be careful swapping or refilling.
    Those in that link are not punched, you will need a carto punch if you don't have one.

    Actually, that size is the "half-ling" tank.
    You don't want an XL for that size, although it may technically work, the carto won't be flush with the tank.

    Same for me in MI but still pretty cheap for ~4 yrs worth of juice for the nic. I already have 2 yrs worth.... what is the shelf life on this stuff? Same as nic if tossed in the freezer?

    I may be missing something but I have that tank from DFW and it is huge. You need the xl cartos or it won't go to the top of the tank.

    I probably should do prime but I don't. Maybe I will now as I have been using it more lately and wouldn't mind seeing some of their tv/movie shows they have that netflix doesn't.

    Actually looking at my checkout page it says the vg/pg isn't free prime shipping eligible.
    You should be able to sign up for a 30-day free trial with Prime. If you decide you don't want to continue after the 30 day trial, it's easy to opt out with no cost.

    Oh, also, has anyone ordered recently from Big Daddy Vapors? How are their shipping charges? I can't see an estimated shipping cost without "checkout."
    Yes they ship pretty fast and I think I had a first class option for postage
