Thank you friend. This is great news. Missed a lot of work. Now I’ll be able to get more nic in a month or two.
I thought i was done buying nic,but i agree,since it got extended,i think i'll grab a bit more before then just to make sure i have enough,and to replenish what i use between now and then.

Turns out smokers are 4 x less likely to to be hospitalized with the virus and the nicotine is probably the reason. Nic attaches to the same cell receptor used by the virus and crowds it out. Next will come studies with nic patches to see if they work like smoking I figure the moment the public decides nicotine is protective the NRT's will disappear faster than TP and may be nic for vaping will disappear shortly after that. Ramping up demand 100x or more could not be done in weeks or months. Having said all that there's no garrantee it's going to happen.

It may turn out never smokers don't need the same dose as a smokers. May be it only makes sense for high risk people or may be it's sufficient to wait for symptoms because if you're asymptomatic why bother with the nic. If nicotine is proven protective governments might control the supply to insure it's avaiable as medicine.

I'm keeping up with the papers related to this. I cannot wait for the studies. I won't hold my breathe but I do believe its very plausible. When I go back to work I'm upping my nicotine level while working.

Hope they can replenish their stock soon then Uncle, as all of their affordable 100mg in one litre size is out of stock, except for the Ultra Premium and the CNT. Looks like last minute panic buying... I'll bet from folks who never took this whole thing seriously before.

    I'm glad I bought the mini freezer and stocked up over time. I mix a lot of samples of new flavors and recipes and end up dumping a fair amount. I should probably pick up an extra liter just to make up for waste.

    Only thing at home needed for future of lifetime vaping would be Cotton to re wick clrs a brunhilde tank which works excellent and does not leak and a zenith coilhead which now has a re-build able horizontal coil installed and will make a few more for the future.

    I was looking online for nicotine patches and stock is low, so people maybe grabbing them up. I was thinking we could make our own patch from our stock :)

    Yup, just a few drops of your preferred nic % dripped onto a band-aid should work :)

    Or, just vape, and keep the possibly beneficial effect of PG.

    Sadly, the article doesn't say what dose patches are being used...

    So I wonder what the recommended mg of nic is to fight off covid-19
    The answer has been in plain sight, handed down to us so many years ago...

    This is a little disturbing, All of Heartlands salt nic, and 48 and even 36 mg nic is sold out. Really glad forfthose here who saw this coming.

    This happened last month, too. Supposedly the reason for it is because most, if not all, nic base is produced overseas so shipments are taking a lot longer and retailers are going out of stock in between shipments.

    Although, everything I "Want" or NEED right now is in stock . . . Maybe - Just Maybe - They will be all stocked up with all their other products by then . . .

    BTW: I did notice a lot of the "shortages" a few weeks ago (even posted about it) and then all of a sudden they were restocked with the products I wanted . . . That's when I contacted them about the possibility of an Easter Sale and how I found out that the only sale they were planning was for Memorial Day Weekend . . . So - With that said - I expect that no one will "STEAL" anything I either "Want"/"NEED" before then . . . :-x
