Hi fellow vapers,

I'm an old guy at the new block. Was vaping actively back in 2013 when the vape community in our red dot is definitely not as big as it is now and vaping is really a very discreet thing back then.

An era where Mech mods are still the coolest and the Provari still reigns the world until Hana Mod came out.

An era where coils are simple wires done in multiples.

An era where the only vape related reviews you will find on Youtube are from the west.

An era where Five Pawns is the best juice to laid hands on and Jade Tiger is the cheapest yet most flavourful experience.

Was posted out for 2 years to a place where analogs are not as restricted and not as costly hence becoming the more convenient option as opposed to vaping.

As I'm back, I will like to get back to vaping but I realise that my PVs are all in ancient texts. Got to source for supplies soon but seems like everything I see is Alien.

Can anyone update on the latest trends in terms of PVs and Coiling Methods? Will free to post any pictures too!

Somewhere out there
Welcome back! I hope you are reading up on the FDA regs coming down. Most all of us are stocking up on the basics:
Several mods, regulated (like Provari) unregulated ( like Reo or Nemesus etc)
Rebuildable RBA's / RTA's
Nic base for DIY juice

On 8-8-16 all vape products become tobacco products according to FDA. It gets more complicated by state laws but we don't know how bad it will actually be, so stock up while you can.

Wah does this mean we will look at a more expensive price for all our vaping needs? :(

Well, price wise definitely gets more costly. But what doesn't in our red dot?

North might be a good option due to the exchange rates but I realised it's also not like how it used to be back then. I remember there's a shopping centre, you're able to find vape vendors on almost every level of the building. Seems like a different case now...

Get a few liters of 100mg nic juice in PG base stored in your freezer, some dedicated RTA's like a kayfun v5 and some RDA'S. Get a few quality mech mods, I'd really recommend parallel over the basic tube. Those would be on my immediate list, Aug 8th is coming up fast and we're all going to get screwed.

Thanks for the advice! Did read about what's coming up on 8th Aug, but I believe the vape community will be able to pull through somehow, one way or another.

But sad to say, even 1mg of nic juice is not obtainable from where I am. We're screwed right from the beginning..

Why stash PG juice in the freezer? It won't go bad in refrigerated, right?

100mg nic in PG base in your freezer why?

1. PG longer lifespan than VG and base unlike flavored will not be affected by freezing
2. Freezer, dark and cold to preserve the nic from going bad
3. Aug 8th FDA when the comes down you will have nic you can spike 0mg juice or make your own juice (which is very easy)

A lot of States like Indiana, Utah, New Jersey, California, etc are already coming down hard with massive tax's and/or excessive restrictions or just out right banning. Expect much more in the very near future.

Nic goes bad if left unrefrigerated? Over how long?
What about steeping then?

Light, air and heat will degrade nicotine and kept this way can last for decades. So store "base" not flavored in the freezer, the flavorings don't act well to freezing.

So as I stated above you will easily be able to get pg, vg and flavorings. But it's the nic that is targeted.

Can't get it online? You outside the U.S.?
