    Somewhere between here and there
    Evidently they think that regular cigarettes are not being purchased by kids since there is no mention of cracking down on teen smoking. They did mention cigars but I don't know any kids that smoke cigars nor have I seen any. I have been optimistic as there has been a talk of banning since I've been on the forum for the last ten years and it hadn't happened. I am now seriously concerned what the market is going to turn into. I am glad that I have enough of everything on hand to last for 20-30 years at least but feel bad for those that are just starting to make the switch or those in the future that might have made the switch. Will it turn into only closed systems with replaceable cartridges? We shall see.

    So...any ideas on how a 120ml. hard plastic (chubby Gorilla) bottle with nicotine 6mg. or WTA 18mg. in 70VG/30PG...would fare in a freezer???

    ..

    Gerrymi,

    I have some 60 mg nic (PG based) in original 120 ml plastic bottles from Wizard Labs in the dedicated freezer that I bought back in 2012. Pulled one out and it looks clear and smells good. Then the vape test - diluted down to 5mg and vaped it and I don't see/feel any problems with that.

    All my other nic is stored in a glass.

    I should probably re figure my nic stash and possibly get some more. Then I'm thinking that this is the wrong time of year, as here in So Cal it does get hot, many 100+ days. I have ordered nic in the summer before tho and haven't had any problems, but I could wait another 3 months or so. :unsure:

    Enough until you are dead and assume you will live a long time, is my motto.

    I am so done with black markets got my darn fill of them in my youth. I'm SO OVER the slight excitement when you obtain something illegal at a vastly inflated price because of the DANGER.

    I'm sure I could do it, I have gotten things into this country that, like, I should never have, but it's just a PITA. I would have gotten a Russian Second Wife, but I couldn't find one ugly enough....LOL

    safe distance from a black hole
    there's also the possibility of reducing nic for the last liter.
    i'm at 12, DTL which is more than most people.
    but, if they can do 3, so can i.
    I started calculating nic supply when I was using about 8 or 9mg. Where Im at today is 2mg to 3.5mg. So Im over double what I need for nic.
    I could probably be happy at 2mg but prefer 3mg. At this stage I dont feel any need or want to go any lower, but that change could happen naturally as I go along.
    TBH I think it would be funny to end up not vaping if thats where I ended up. I have a lot of rta's, tanks and mods, wire, cotton and rayon, and a lot of nic. Im too financially, emotionally and mentally invested to not vape.:rolleyes:

    You could use the calculator that was posted on this thread to figure out how long your stash might last.

    Figuring that 120 ml lasts the wife and I about 2 months, I figure we have about a 6 year supply. I'm 72, and she is 74, so.....??

    you could at least wait for a sale.
    i got 17 per cent off plus free shipping. i bet there will be the same on labor day.
    what is a reasonable nic stash?

    Who really knows what is reasonable. :unsure:

    So how much nic do you think is a reasonable supply just for you? Asking that because you are closer to my age of 71.

    i suspect that we will weather this storm. but, the govt will sooner or later realize that we are buying nic, not just juice.
    they will then hit us with a whopping sin tax.
    after all, people who have a vice are evil n should be punished.
    that will give congress a warm feeling.

    I'd say for me(us) the 5-6 years is good. we vape at 6mg, and could cut it down if necessary. I figure that when we get closer to running out, that we could go to 0 nic, or quit. I also figure that if in time the govt., makes nic harder to get, we will have time to reconsider ordering more. I doubt that it would happen overnight. Of course as time goes on, nic will become more expensive, as everything does, so there is that.
    So for now, I consider us pretty well set.

    I vape at 6mg also. I find 0 nic will not work for me. The taste just seems to be flat. I figure I have 14-15 years worth. I'm undecided if I should get another litre or not. I'd rather have more than enough than not enough.
