Are you done stocking up?

I wish I had seven more squid 3s. LOL I was skeptical at first but I LOVE my squid. I have another one coming. I LOVE the vape, I LOVE how it feels in my hand I ADORE how heavy it is but I also love my other vapes so IDK. I am retiring setups now I really can't have any more active setups, but man I really love it a lot. I am glad I have the Flower of Life one coming,

Also a useful weapon the Squid.

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:
I doubt much will change until next spring. If I didn't already have enough, I'd wait for cooler weather myself, and then buy enough to be sure that you'll never run out.

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.
And that alone is a good reason to stock up. If nic base were taxed at rates "equivalent" to cigarettes, it would cost thousands of dollars per liter. But it's really quite difficult (some would say it's downright unconstitutional) to tax personal property you already own.

I suspect that, sooner or later, the Authorities will put a limit on the quantity and strength of nic concentrate allowed to be sold/purchased (without a Manufacturing license). The days of buying liters of 100mg/l for personal use will go away. For that matter, the ability to buy a device that can use it will probably go away too. I think the future (post regulation enforcement) will be limited to pods.

But then again, my Crystal Ball is cracked........

I thought I was done stocking up, but then I discovered I really love the Etna RDA and that they stopped making them. So buying as much as I can afford atm. :rolleyes:

Not sure where things are going here, either. It's been a max of 20mg/ml, which is ridiculous. You can still buy stronger if you have a business licence, but are not allowed to sell it. And since the 1st of July, refills are supposed to be 10ml max. But I guess that still allows for 10ml aroma concentrates and they can't possibly regulate that for VG & PG, that would mean soapmakers and horse people couldn't buy the necessary amounts they need for their needs. But it's so so sad.

I don't think our personal nic stashes will ever be considered to be worth going after. I'd be surprised of one in a thousand people who vape has bothered to stock up, and it's not like those who have will be out there selling nic to high-school kids.

What does it take to get a business license? Does it have to be a legit business?

I'm not sure yet. I'm in the process of figuring that out, because I'm actually starting my own business. Which has nothing to do with vaping, but that doesn't matter. It might not even be a license, but could be a chamber of commerce registry or something.

Back in the 80's I was a software contractor. I bought an off the shelf company to hire myself out through, judging by its name it had been a shipping company originally. I think it cost 180 pounds. Sure it costs more now but compared to buying 20mg nic in tiny bottles it would be worth it.

I'm interested because I might be moving back to the UK and I won't be able to take my nic with me.

@englishmick I didn’t even know they pulled the same shenanigans in the UK. I know in Germany it’s still available, but they won’t sell to countries that don’t allow it. And plus, the rules for having a business might be different in the UK. But worth looking into for sure.

104_0098.JPG 104_0099.JPG 104_0100.JPG The wife and I went to our favorite shop yesterday, the only one we go to, and only maybe once a year. We always pick up a mod for each of us, and stand around and bs a bit.
I got the Asmodus Ultroner Luna, a mech, with a mofset squonker paired at the moment with a Beserker MTL RDA with a BF pin, an excellent combination. I have a Vapefly Galaxies MTL squonk RDTA coming that will go on it. I will be retiring an older mod for future use when needed.
