Are you done stocking up?

I don't think it will be very easy to brush us under the rug. They will lose because they're lying greedy snakes.

To those horrible anti vape people out there that think they're such experts- do they realize that vapers are ex smokers? Do they know they and their children will have a choice in the future? tobacco or vaping products? Or do they just want their kids to smoke cigarettes.

Lots of uses for the batteries we use.
There have been no batteries developed only for vaping. (unfortunately)
Lot's of info about batteries here:
How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries - Battery University

perhaps its a good thing that batteries were never developed for vaping alone. we have seen drastic improvements in batteries and as of yet a complete and total ban will be impossible for them. had there been a battery that was only for vaping it would be on the list of banned items.

No remorse whatsoever. I have very little money and can happily vape the rest of my life for virtually nothing.

A lot of the sales are just the usual sales. But, some of them are companies dumping old stock that they don't want anymore.

I just bought 250 spare coils for my Vision Victory clearos for just $25. Why so cheap? Because the Vision Victory never got very popular and is old stuff they don't want anymore. As a matter of fact, I've only found one vendor, one single vendor, that even still carries the Vision Victory, Heaven Gifts. They're only a dollar each and come with 3 coils included, a needle-tip bottle, the clearo, and an adorable little reusable plastic box.

Gotta love clearance sections!

I remember Provape had those on clearance for a long time. So where did you get your awesome deal? lol

before "kids" picked up vaping they were picking up cigarettes. cigarettes, at least in allot of ways were being replaced by vaping. they dont want something rocking the boat. i picked up cigarettes when i was 17. that was around 1998, guess what we already knew cigarettes were extremely unhealthy but i picked them up anyways. you are young and stupid. you dont think you will get addicted. you arent thinking about that hospital bed 30 or more years later where your are hooked up to oxygen. given the two choices that kids are going to pick up something, i would much rather them take up vaping then something that WILL make them sick at best.

They don't want their kids to do either one as they see them as the same, a dependence/habit. The only thing that may change an individual's mindset is if their child/loved one does start smoking and has health consequences as a result.

You got it. Provape. They had them on special for some time. But, last time I looked, they had dropped the price even more, down to 50 cents for a 5-pack!

do gooders that don't think realistically. kids have been picking up cigarettes for decades not going to stop. there is also research that has shown up the last few years about some benefits of nicotine when you remove the smoke from the nicotine.

i think that's perhaps why i consume nicotine. i feel like when i dont vape or smoke my head gets cloudy and i cant think. i have always suffered from memory loss, suffer from depression, and i have slight learning disabilities. i think nicotine helps me with some of those things, but dont tell that to people that just see it purely as a dependence.

as far as products that are obsolete in the world of vaping, yup they are dirt cheap. when i product either runs its course or never catches on, once the demand is gone the product has no retail market value.

i have a box of older red IMR 18650's brand new. i probably have 15 of them left. they really arent worth much but they have seen some use the 3 battery mods because if you are only vaping at 50W and you have 3 batteries in the circuit the current drain per battery goes down. i would never suggest using those same batteries in a mod running 200W

great article mitch zeller ought to serious read and re-read.

had there been a battery that was only for vaping it would be on the list of banned items.

Or classified a tobacco product!

 

[bnrkwest]

lol,, i plan to buy whatever next year,, about 5 years worth

Well for my Golden Years I have a bunch Cartos and Carto tanks, Smok Vivi's and coils, CE16's and coils and a Titanium P3 Provari for light weight and an ego adaptor for it. I am going to keep my T18's and coils for later use along with the Nautilus and Kabuki's too. I am going to just rebuildables now until I can no longer build I am set LOL

 

[bnrkwest]

i have a total of 12 spare mods AND 1 good working provari

how am i doing. i should be close to being caught up, and the expensive stuff should be just about covered. i think i need to buy some more RTDA tanks, spare parts, a used freezer, and glass bottles. total damage less then $2k. DONE enough to survive decades into a ban. even if stuff doesnt get banned i shouldnt have to buy too much more if i take good care of my stuff.

You are getting there for sure!

Interesting... I figured they could deal with the market after regulations

Maybe not.

Sounds like they had other issues and probably the whole fda mess just
put them over. I was really surprised though I thought they would sail
on through unscathed in it all.

You need more RDTA for sure IMO.

what is the best way to store my batteries long term?

use them in rotation. I have 45 batteries in rotation for 10 or so 1, 2 and 3 battery mods I use daily. I have no batteries in long term storage as I feel confident I will be able to buy more in a few years when those in rotation no longer hold a good charge.

for all intense purposes, njoy was one of the first on the market. in fact it was the very first product i ever tried, at the time it was the only product. they never progressed beyond the "cig-a-like". the current CEO is a former Pfizer ceo. i really thought they would have survived, after all their product type is poster child of FDA. disposeable closed type system with a tiny battery and tiny atomizer system and the CEO is a pharma guy. i really thought they would have been the last standing. their products might not be something we would consume but dont forget at one time they were on our side, they sued and won against the FDA.

i hope this fate does not befall the greats. provape, kanger, innokin, joytech, ect ect. the people that should be allowed to bow out, rj rynolds, phillip morris, lorrilard, ect. anyone involved in big tobacco should be dying a death of obsolesce, like a 40 year smoker hacking up a lung on its death bed of bankruptcy, but no this is america where we support and prop up morally bankrupt organizations responsible for the death of literally millions of people. same for big pharma, and the FDA itself. we allow the morally bankrupt continue survive, grow, and become larger.

 

[Two_Bears]

I wouldn't feel remorse cause I didn't buy anything that I wouldn't have used anyway.

Exactly.

I said many times "This is prepping not hoarding."

With my messed up left hand and mg poor eyesight i may only be able to do this 5-7 years, abd stocked a MTL device with premade coils for when i can't see to build or my hand will not let me build.

So i prepped for 5-7 years

Interesting - they make one of the current items on the market that closely resemble 2007 products...
