Deeming Regulations have been released!!!!

I'm about to order some pre-mixed nicotine and some of the stronger stuff you all recommend for mixing - It is sold as:
Nicotine Base 100mg/mL ❄ USP Pharma
and it costs 1L for 75.00 and less for smaller amounts.
Is that a good price? Anyone have it for a lot less?

I just took out a 30ml glass bottle of FW Butterscotch flavoring I put in there in 2016. It looked the same as new and taste much better then the same flavoring I had in my kitchen vape drawer. I have also kept some of my HS tobaccos in the freezer also with no noticeable difference.
I suspect not all flavorings would benefit from freezer storage but the ones I use in my ADVs have done well.

Good to know that freezing works for you - Did you change to glass bottles, like many here recommend?

Now a question to all:

Everyone says use glass bottles - But aren't these plastic, or whatever they are made of, containers that vape juice come in specifically designed to be resistant to leaching from the plastic or juice? Aren't they a chemically resistant material?

So do you really have to switch to glass for storage?

Yes personally I transferred all my eliquids to amber glass bottles both nic base and premixed flavored, wrap the bottles well, bag them and stick them in ammo cases for freezing in a chest freezer.
All plastics are permeable, at different degrees, to small molecules like gases, water vapour, and organic vapour and to other low molecular weight compounds like aromas, flavors. Leaching possibilities is just one reason plastic is not a great storage solution IMHO.

I have the Opus BT-C3100 as well. It's good at reading voltage and capacity. So I can pop in a new battery to get a baseline reading and then monitor the capacity change over time, or I can determine if the battery is not charging up to 4.2 volts at some point or has gone to 2.5 volts or below.

The internal resistance feature of the BT-C3100 is essentially useless I have found. I put in the same battery 10 times and get 10 different readings.

I have a drawer full of chargers I've bought over the years. My favorite is the Miboxer C4. Most chargers are fine for lithium cells, but the Miboxer gives repeatable internal resistance values. Whether it's completely accurate is one thing, but repeatability at least gives a sense of valid comparison. The Miboxer does give me repeatable readings of IR that I can use for comparison to determine cell condition.

I have the BT-C3100 and it's a good charger, but its IR numbers are all over the place. They aren't repeatable, even with the same cell. My experience is the same as yours, CAAB.

Heartlandvapes price for a liter is $44.99 and shipping is free for orders totaling $50 or more. There's a code for 5% off which I can'i recall at the moment. They also sell glass bottles and polycone caps.
Nicotine Solution - 100mg Liter

River Supply sells 250mg per ml nicotine for more compact storage. A half liter at $59.99 would yield one and a quarter liters when diluted to 100mg per ml strength. They also offer free shipping for orders of $50 and over.
DIY PurNic™ Nicotine 250mg*

See my blog post here if you want to compare nic prices.

THANKS!!!

Still though considerably more expensive, Nude Nicotine has just the pre-mixture I want and I don't need that much of the 100% and they have small sizes of that - so I'll probably go with them for now.

One more question - I've stocked up on pen style integrated battery devices with integrated batteries.
I know storage life is limited on those because of the batteries, so can you recommend a pod/mod that has a replaceable battery??? I like pen style that feels like a small cigar in my hand.

I would think freezing would potentially separate water from the other components while refrigeration would not. In college, ice cold beer was fine but once frozen (on the windowsill), not so much.

I went to scientific shows ever year and after setting things up someone got warm beer. Well we had lots of liquid nitrogen and no ice. Poured that on the beer and the beer froze instantly. Then tried pouring water in first and then poured in the nitrogen. Perfect. Instant cold beer.

I'm sorry, what were we talking about again?

What’s Behind Michael Bloomberg’s Vaping-phobia?

What’s Behind Michael Bloomberg’s Vaping-phobia?

From that same article:

".........
In defense of the public?

Hale is a product that, like vaping, is presented as a healthier alternative to smoking. However, unlike vaping and other harm reduction products, Hale aims to completely eliminate the use of nicotine no matter what vehicle is used to consume it.

This, in principle, may be a laudable goal. Even taking into account that what is harmful in traditional cigarettes is not the nicotine itself but the harmful substances found in the tar combined with carbon monoxide.

The problem lies in the fact that one of the investors in the company is none other than Michael Bloomberg himself.......

Could it be that the attempts to ban vaping and the disinformation campaigns driven by the American billionaire are aimed at creating a favorable environment only for his own product?"

And there seems to be no end or limit for Bloomberg's 'control freak' agenda:

Why should we have to give up vaping and go back to much more dangerous smoking because one billionaire 'control freak' thinks he has the right to play god ????

Bloomberg is not only a menace in this country
- His ill will is a Worldwide problem
- Yet he has the audacity to call himself a philanthropist !?!?

It seems the vape mail ordeal drew attention away from PMTA/Deeming regs.

Anyone tried the RJ Reynolds Vuse Alto yet?

I actually hear they aren't bad...if you like tobacco flavors

 

[Rossum]

I actually hear they aren't bad.

That may very well be. Halo Tritons weren't "that bad" either; they got me from 40+ a day down to 1 a day in a matter of four or five days back at the end of 2013. But I wouldn't go back to them, nor am I interested in trying some sealed pod system from BT, especially now that it's only available in tobacco and menthol flavors, neither of which have any appeal to me at all.

FWIW, I did try Juul when it came out in 2015, mostly out of curiosity about the (then unique) nic-salt liquid, and quickly decided it wasn't for me.

All that said, I hope some products like Vuse Alto and even Juul get PMTA approval and remain available as an alternative to combustibles. Better them than nothing at all for people who haven't arranged their affairs in a manner that makes things like Deeming Regs and shipping bans irrelevant.
