With TFA's I would try 1% to 5%.

About TFA Peppermint - An old friend who'd smoked menthol ciggies for 40+ years, decided he wanted to try vaping a peppermint eliquid I'd make for him...to get started with trying vaping. I made a 10mL bottle at only 1% flavoring, and figured it would be easy to work my way up to something he'd like. He went "Whew! That's really strong. Makes my eyes water!" I kept reducing the amount of flavoring in some tiny batches, until it was to his liking. It ended up with using only 3 drops of the TFA Peppermint to make his 30mL bottle of eliquid that he loved. It'll take forever to use the 120mL bottle of flavoring I'd bought, thinking it would take much more to make it for him! :D

Back when I used to use flavors i dabbled in menthol and was really impressed. I always felt that a menthol smoker would have an easier time transitioning to vaping. The throat hit was almost the same.... I do not really think of menthol as an actual "flavor" though. I never tried mint.

I wrote to Hearland about nic availability after May.

We fully expect to be shipping nicotine for mixing end users like you after May J
Now the only thing standing in the way are the new laws implemented by the states.
There are states already working on laws to stop your buying/shipping vape related products over the net.
Some of the company's already have stopped shipping to certain states due to their new laws.
Just because they are willing to sell to you, does not mean you can buy it, or get it, unfortunately/

Then there's the "tax" talk, which could make it unaffordable to many.....
Sorry about all the negativity, but ....

I wrote to Hearland about nic availability after May. I cannot say what's below will turn out to be true but I'm sure it's what Heartland believes today. Regardless of their apparent optimism I have zero regrets about my stockpile.

To: Heartland
Comment: I have heard Heartland may have submitted PMTA's. If you can say, does that include 100mg nic for mixing? Will I be able to buy that product from you after May.

Hello there! I have spoken to my bosses (the owners) and we are not sure at this point if we will be doing PMTA's, but nicotine is for further manufacturing so would not need PMTA

Thanks for responding. I want to be sure about your answer. Does Heartand expect to be shipping nic for mixing to end users like me after May? Thanks for your attention.

I am hesitant in fully believing that... But you would think they have done their homework by now. I dunno... we will see soon though.

Yeah,i know Vaporl does but they are based in China and have a U.S. wharehouse,but i've never seen MyVaporStore take paypal,did they just start taking it?A while back when i ordered from them it was credit card only.

Wish they did. I included them as a Paypal member in a recent post, but I was wrong! I do use Paypal for most of the things I buy. MFS is close to me and I tend to get my stuff in a couple of days or at least quicker than ordering from vendors from Western U.S. or China, but I do have to expose my CC # to do so.

I always use Paypal with Fasttech and other China vendors.

I agree with all of what you say never the less this is the first time I'm aware of where a lowly consumer like me asked a nic supplier directly about supply after May and got an answer which I am now sharing. May be more of the suppliers should be asked the same question.

I wouldn't rely on one vendor's (or any vendor's for that matter) interpretation. The language in deeming is written so unclear with regard to nic that all the federal goverment/FDA have to do is say it's within their purview to treat it as needing pmta, and that's what they'll do if they want. Then it'll be up to lawyers to challenge it. If they shut one vendor down, most/all will bail rather than face penalties, until it's decided in court.

But I don't believe it will be high enough on the enforcement priorities they listed to go after it immediately. That wouldn't get them the press that shutting down "kid friendly" products would. And you're right, states can act a lot quicker right now, then it wouldn't matter in those states what Feds do about nic.

My$2/100, anyway. I'm rooting for all vapers & freedom, but have my nic taken care of. Because nobody can know what'll happen.

FYI: Personally - NOPE - NA DA - Didn't Happen . . . Well For "Me" . . . Took over 9 years to finally find the "Right" Menthol combination to get the Flavor/Taste/TH that I was looking for - Thanks to @Bea-FL :wub: . . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

    Has anyone tried the .3 ohm Gt ccell coils yet? I was thinking about getting some from vaprzon but wasn’t sure if I’d like them. I usually run most tanks around 22-26 watts and didn’t know if they would work well in that range.

    Note: vaprzon buy 2 get 1 free on coil packs is still going, code HAWK

    The gt ccell 2 target watts are the next bump up from the ccell, nominally 35 - 40w. I kind of suspect they'd be a little under-powered at your desired watts.

    If you like the gt ccell 0.5 ohm, and have Veco or other EUC-compatible tank, you might want to try the EUC ceramic 0.5 ohm: VAPORESSO TAROT NANO KIT Coils: Vaporesso EUC Universal Coil Ceramic - 0.5Ω SS316L (5-pack)

    I was happy with the EUC ceramic 0.5 that I tested, am planning to pick up several more packs of them. Good flavor, very similar to the gt ccell. I experienced zero issues with it. With the vaprzon sale it brings their cost down to $1.20/head.

    (If you want to try a ccell 2, pm me - happy to send one. I've got a lot of them. Same for the EUC 0.5 ceramic - I've got some already, will pick up 9 packs on this sale.)

    I wonder how long that code will be good. I don’t know if I have time to get one to try before it ends.

    Your call. I wouldn't have ordered 9 more packs (min order that reaches free shipping) if I wasn't happy with the EUC.

    I could send you one of each to try, you could then pick them up next sale if you like them, though that 33% off is at the very good end for sales.

    I think I’ve got those (and several kinds of euc) but haven’t tried any of them yet.

    yes. I have some of the .3 ohm. They are good but not as good as the .5 ohm imho
    I vape in the exact same range that you do. I stocked up on the .5 ohm Gt Ccells
