    Vapor Range coupons to try:

    JULYTHE4th - 20% off, one use only
    BYEBYESUN - 15% off
    HOLIDAY10PERCENT - 10% off

    Just came back from a quick 'google tour'.

    Dimensions: 76mm x 25mm x 40mm .... well that sure puts the Colossal on my short list. But, hmmm? The web pictures I looked at make it look like a real shiny smooth finish. Does it grip good in the hand, not all slip-slidey, is it?

    I've got the gunmetal chrome version and the pink ;)

    it's not slippery at all, the grooves in the back panel give you some grip.

    Those of us that prepped ahead of the 2016 deeming that SHOULD have shut down the industry faced far more ridicule than folks are now. We were virtually laughed off ECF. This time anyone that is laughing is either secretly stashing and not talking about it or likely in for a rude awakening.

    There will in the best possible outcome be a very long time where gear and liquids will be very hard if not impossible to get. How long that time is no one can predict.

    I personally work on the prepare for the worst and hope for the best principle. It is just prudent.

    As for submitting to the FDA and hoping for a year. VERY FEW companies outside of BT have a prayer of doing that. ALso consider it took the FDA 2 years to approve the iqos. So if you get 1 years grace for submitting and it takes the FDA 2 or more what happens? You are still off the market for a period of perhaps years.

    Yes, I remember being laughed at back in 2015/2016. But I stocked up so well back then that I didn't need to buy much this time. Just a little bit more nic. And a few 20700 mods. Anything else I've bought was just because I wanted it.

    One thing I remember about back then, though, was that the clearance and sales prices were much better. Good mods for under $10. Mechs for under $5. RTAs for $5. Now I look in the clearance sections and just shake my head. Taking $5 off the price isn't clearance.

    Hey y’all. Can I fly with my MVP5? It’s 5200 mah.

    Well - I never had a problem going through TSA with mine . . . For over 9 years carried 2 Cool Fire Style Mods, 2 cig-a-likes w/cartos, and 2 eGo style batteries, with 3 - 30ml bottle of E-liquid, USB charging cable, etc. all in a case and in my carry on . . . Only once, did the agent ever question what I had and wanted to see everything . . . However, I would strongly suggest, making sure that Ya' have everything SHUT OFF, even the one You might be stealth vaping in the lavatory while waiting to board the plane - before putting your carry on in the overhead bin or under the seat in front of you . . . IMHO - People didn't and that's why some e-cig's exploded in the overhead and why e-cig's are banned in checked baggage . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

    2016 was vapocalypse basic training, now we're prepared because of the dry run. It kind of did us a favor, I'm much less panicked now than I was back then.

    I love my scale but truthfully, I got by for years with nothing more than nic, pg, vg a couple of droppers and washed out bottles from previous juice.
    I still don't use a scale to mix. I have a cheap 10 mL graduated cylinder I got off amazon and use that for flavorings and nic. I eyeball the PG and VG since I am not fussy about 50/50 or 53/47. ;)

    I mix in twist spout condiment bottles 250 mL at a time.

    I also still have a huge bag of washed out liquid bottles from years past.

    My wife just took an American Airlines flight yesterday. She checked ahead of time and was told as long as 'their' on your person or carry-on bags it's OK ... just not in her checked luggage.

    I had zero interest n getting a Colossus and you all had to keep talking about them. I love green and while trying to see if the code still worked, one jumped in my cart. Geez

    I guess for 23.99 and free shipping, it is a good deal.

    It's just a colossal kind of Colossus night. Not quite as good as the Night of the Vixen but still a good night.

    We all seriously enable each other like its a communicable disease. I think we need a professional to come in here to moderate.

    My guess is they won't enforce against anyone who has filed a credible PMTA, even it it takes them longer than a year to evaluate it, which it most likely will.

    But I'm skeptical that anyone with anything we want will be filing a credible PMTA.

    Yep I agree on very few if any filing on the sorts of devices we like. Back in 2016 I had hopes that the bigger companies like Kanger might try but as thing have played out I just don't see how anything but a proprietary pod device in tobacco flavor can pass.

    I won't speak for anyone else but I will NOT vape tobacco flavor. If it means I never vape outside my house again so be it.

    I don't care for tobacco flavors either, but my ADV, and thus my outside the house vape has been unflavored for roughly four years now.

    Still, if they ban flavors, I swear I'll mix up some of the smelliest fruit and bakery flavors I can come up with just to mess with 'em.

    What are you gonna do, arrest me for vaping mango?
