I've had mail from the usa sitting in California waiting for outgoing flights since the 22nd, I think. It's not just China, it's everywhere.
I would suppose that's because there are very few long distance flights to put the mail on.

Here's my new Alchemist CarbonX (carbon fiber/ABS 3D printed).

The internals are sterling silver, and it has a modmaker silver 510.

The topper is a Vapefly Galaxies MTL.

It should. Nic base in PG has a density very close to that of water. Nic base in VG has a density about 1.2 times higher than water. Wax will be less dense.

My worry would be just how miscible the molten wax is with PG or VG. It won't mix with water at all, but PG and VG are both alcohols....
One surefire way to find out. Get a small amount of beeswax from a craft store and try it out on a small bottle.

Or use Food-Grade Quality Paraffin Wax (which should be available in many Grocery & Health Food stores) like they do for canning food products . . . Just a thought . . . :rolleyes:

We need a rapid way to test the hypothesis that nicotine is protective against covid.

I read the initial comparison about % of smokers getting COVID- but was there anything isolating NIC as the probable reason. Might it also be one or more of the other 1000s of chemicals in cigs?

River Supply (a.k.a. Nicotine River) is taking orders again after a covid shutdown. I ordered another half liter of 100 mg base and a couple flavors that were on clearance.

One flavor that I wouldn't have bought at regular price is mixed nuts. Never had a nut flavored vape before. I'm wondering if it would be good straight or mixed with another flavor. Might be a good accent for a tobacco flavor, or it might be good with caramel popcorn (cracker jacks), or maybe caramel..... I've been adding unflavored juice to an rta and then adding a few drops of various flavors to see how they work. If it's not so good, just keep adding unflavored until the flavor is gone. Actually some flavors are better when they're just a hint, instead of in your face. Sorry for rambling.

I just saw an article that U.K. Is doing a study using nicotine patches to fight Covid. Should be interesting:)

I still haven't ordered anything lately. I have been working thru some of the juice I ordered awhile back, been adding more PG to it since I don't like high VG. Pretty tasty even diluted, but thankfully I like my DIY the best :)
Hope everyone is doing well!

Is it the FA nut mix? It’s good with tobaccos. I use it with bakeries I want a nutty background to.

So, not too late to stock up on nic? I thought the deadline had come and gone, but then I'm not too bright.
Nah, it's just that a recent change occurred - Covid-19 caused the FDA to push the Deeming date until September. You're good to go!

So far a group in the UK and another in France say they intend to do clinical trials on nic patches. I wonder, why only 2? And their pace seems leisurely. If nic patches perform as well as smoking it's a game changer.

Random PIF time. This is a new Vaporesso Xtra pod kit, with an extra pair of 1.2 ohm pods.

I won it, don't have a particular use for it (I use their Renova Zero for my small setup), it's available to anyone in the US.

    Why wait? I sometimes have a cup after dinner.

    For sure, although some people can't have caffeine in the evening as it interrupts their sleep cycle.
    I would be bouncing off the walls if I had coffee after noon-ish. I use to be able to drink coffee 24/24 but not anymore. I can still smell the coffee in my kitchen. :)
