I am expecting my second whole order since I started vaping, and now it might be all over for me before I get used to it. Does anyone know how long we all have to wait before this FDA thing sorts itself out?

I have ordered some replacement parts, more e-liquid, and more PVs....should I just hold on using these until we see what happens, or try to get as much as we can as fast as we can (hoarding)?


I've ordered a 55 gallon drum that I plan to fill with juice and bury in my backyard. I'm now having a difficult time deciding whether to go with a manual pump to fill my 3 ml. bottles from it, or an electric.

If they target the Chinese PV suppliers like EastMall, Ruyan Direct, Janty, etc and stop every package coming from that company regardless of what the label says, then they can make it much more difficult and costly to get supplies.

True.

I wonder how many times a company over there can change their name, and how often? :cool:

Addresses can be changed too. :)

LOL that was funny... My personal thoughts on this subject is that (assuming worst case scenario) suppliers wouldn't be allowed to (legally) sell of their stock right? That means nothing that goes through "the system" but why wouldn't they want to off what they have if you have cash in hand to help them unload it so they don't lose money by having to throw it all out?

My personal plan is, IF the FDA shuts it all down, to get a few hundred dollars in cold hard cash, contact a local vendor and offer to take it off their hands. I can't fathom why they'd decline the offer. As close knit as the e-cig community seems to be I have a hard time believing they'd have any sort of problem.

LOL on that note.. just as a funny thing, I had a dream last night that e-cigs were illegal and it became an underground community and people were doing e-cig deals like they do crack deals :p .. even if it comes to that I want it to be known I'm game!

I did...I swear I did my homework and watched every second of it, even wound it back a few times...and thanks so much for making it...it was amazingly helpful, but I think some of this stuff has to be hands on for me. :p Must be a blonde thing lol...


I hear ya... I guess you won't know how much juice and how many attys til you see what YOU personally use. I dunno... best of luck tho! And start Vapers Clubs in your areas people!!! We need to start organizing FAST before it truly goes federal!

Trapped within my imagination
If this helps any newbies who are wanting to eventually ween off of nic and or have no idea how much liquid to stock up on...

A while back I read a very inspiring post by a gentleman named Jeremy James ( thread called- My E-smoking Experience)..Definitely worth a search for the thread...

He was a 3 pck a day smoker and had successfully tapered himself down on nic strengths by starting out using about 60 ml of 24 mgs ( average e-cig user uses 2 ml's a day...60 ml would roughly be a months worth of juice, give or take)..Then he dropped to 60 ml's of 18 mg and so on...He said doing it this way was slow and painless..That'll give you a general Ideal how much to stock to eventually quit...after that you can make DIY no nic if you want to continue vaping...If you have no intention of giving up the nic....Grab your credit care! lol.

And as everyone has said..Stock pile your atomizers ( they last on the "average" of 2 weeks to two months each- toss in a few more for the ones that mess with your head and only last 3 days lol)...You can always buy mods later....

Peace, Love and Vapor...Ivy

FDA Bans & Customs Seizures are all Rumors. No one is having trouble getting parts, and supplies as of yet. If you wait untill things get "sorted out" you'll be old & grey. (like me)

Sorry Jim but I have had a package that was stuck at customs for over a week, this weekend I received a letter stating goods would be siezed.

I had 500ml of liquid and 10 full kits that were sent to me...checking with the supplier to try and get a refund or try again.

Right Here, Right Now!
Ordering things from China is always risky, but when I used to have an eBay biz I would order from their all the time and have things held for weeks with my larger orders, but when it was something small the longest time I ever waited was 3 days at customs...It is even easier to get items shipped by sea. If these are outlawed I guarantee that people will be able to talk the manufacturers in China into making the boxes so they don't say anything about being e-cigs of PV's. I have a small stock going right now, but I really don't want to go crazy quite yet.
