How are you preparing for the vapocalypse?

The government may not kick in your door for your nicotine stash.
It's a lot easier just to prevent you from getting one.

Online gambling has been severely crippled.
Online poker too, although that is a game of skill, not chance.

They block your access and ability to pay through a number of tactics.
There are often workarounds for the highly dedicated though.

But smokers who have not switched?
The last thing they need is more impediments to getting there.

Was actually thinking along these lines yesterday....only after my 510 threading stripped out on my MVP 2.0. I'm on a tight budget right now and just had ordered some juices from PVLiquids and some Virus from Nicoticket....yet, now i'll have to figure out how to vape em now since i can't use my nautilus mini on my MVP....*panic look*

So i was looking around my place for items i could sell so i could stock up on Vape Gear, juices, DIY stuff (just in case), etc! ha Oh...and yes, LOTSA bottles of The Virus and other fav juices!!

Wondering if the banks will give loans for Vape Gear?!!

So yeah....since my MVP broke only after two months....i realized just how bad i need to get serious about stocking up! Mainly for any future vape regulations that we could be facing!

Tell that to a guy with pocket aces who pushes all in only to have his opponent call with pocket 6's and flop a set.

I am not preparing I am prepared.

Think about what you are saying.

The Government is going to stop is from getting our hands on NICOTINE?
So they are banning tobacco? Cigarettes?
Really?
Come on, now.

no, he's saying BG is going to prevent you from buying nicotine base that you can mix with VG and vape.

pouches of tobacco and cigarettes will always be available.

The skill in poker comes from playing properly over the long haul.
And that means folding a losing hand rather than chasing it.

If you can read people, that is an added skill that can take you over the top.

But on a hand-by-hand basis, generally anything can happen.
And often does.

I agree. They really aren't going to care about a handful of people like us with a few bottles in our freezer. We are a tiny part of what they are trying to achieve. We won't even make a dent in the money train they are trying to preserve.

But smokers who have not switched?

That's our problem. I've just passed the 6 month mark, if I had left it another year to quit smoking the option might not be there. We don't have to fight this one for ourselves, we are all set up. We have to fight it for all the vapers who haven't stocked up, and all the current and future smokers. It's a worthy cause.

Our 'Government' can't stop millions of illegal aliens from getting into this country. Just how do you suppose they're gonna stop e-cigs?

I've got almost everything I need. Thinking about it a lot has caused me to conclude that the power supply is the weak link. I could be sitting there with gallons of juice and a box full of tanks and the threads on my last mod strip out, or the chip dies. Right now I'm trying to figure out what's good on the mech mod side. Seems like they would be easier to maintain long term. All the parts should be serviceable. But there are so many mech mods. Lot of research to do there. And I can't do it by buying lots of them and figuring it out the hard way. Too much money and too little time.

OMG!! What kind of Communist state are you living in? Isn't this the same state that allows "assisted suicide"? Of course they won't loose too much tax revenue by eliminating a few old people.

They could stop illegal immigration tomorrow if they wanted too. But too many industries depend on immigrants. Like big agriculture. And those industries contribute mightily to both political gangs so it won't happen. And by the way every other developed country has a shrinking population and declining birth rate. Who's going to pay for my retirement if we don't have a steady supply of younger workers?

Vaping doesn't own enough politicians. That's the difference.

They can't because they don't want to stop immigration (it's intentional). As for e-cigs, they want to put a stop to that, and likely will.

With the growing plethora of issues our governments have to "reign in" like...
immigration
drug abuse
gun crime
jobs
health care/costs
rising interest rates
terrorism
human trafficking
child porn
online/internet fraud/theft/bullying
debt
addicted zombies eating brains
contraband tobacco/booze/prescription drugs
childhood obesity
growing poverty levels
roads
services
etc.

It just seems a little far fetched to think that anything they decide to do to "reign in" folks using
liquid nicotine to help them quit smoking, would reach the same high levels of success they've
had dealing with "real" issues. Not very effective doing anything, right! Don't worry be happy.

Keep writing and advocating and educating as much as we can, whats the worst case scenario
gonna be? REALLY?

A few less new converts?
Peoples lives in the balance? Hows their record on that one in other areas?

Cheers

So, you are relying on folks in this country illegally to finance your retirement? Good luck with that. The reason that agri and big business want them is cheap labor. Since our 'representatives' in Washington have shipped all of the jobs overseas (cheap labor). So how many More million will be required to ensure your retirement. Reality, they are here for the Freebys, education, welfare, medical care, etc.

Let's tone down the political talk a bit. Yes, there is politics involved in this fight, but the thread is starting to stray into other areas of the political arena.

Reign it back to the topic please.

Thanks!

thats why I bought a bunch of Provaris ... couple of new, couple of used, couple of blems ... threw used authentic Kayfuns on them all, also bought KFL replacement part kits for them all.

these things are probably going to last a freakish long time

exactly...well put. If anything does happen...it isn't going to be overnight

It is black leaf. I'll never attempt to vape it though. Got it from my neighbor. He had lots of it. Maybe I should explain that I live 15 miles from town. My neighbors are ranchers and farmers. Dynamite is very common out here, lot of people have it for blowing stumps and stuff like that. Can't buy it without a permit but that's easy to get out here, So I suppose getting insecticide would not be a problem. We don't farm or ranch except the wife grows veggies and stuff like that.
