Indonesia bans palm oil exports

Hope this is temporary and doesn't affect our access to cheap palm-based VG.
Indonesia accounts for more than half of the global palm oil supply.

I read about this just this morning. Although I may have enough it is always good to have more than we need to help when something like this happens. I just placed an order for a backup gallon of it.

I was kinda regretting buying 2 gallons each of VG & PG back in a panic in early 2020 when prices were going up at a lot of places. Now I don't regret it at all. I'm still good with what I have for maybe 3-4 years. By the time it's done the world will likely be in utter shambles and the last thing on my mind will be vaping as I will desperately looking for something to eat that I can afford.

I expect some good grub will be around if you know where to look.

I use 1/3 VG in my mixes and we go through about a gallon of liquid a year, so I'm good too.

I don't expect VG to become unavailable and the price has already jumped up up from $14 two years ago to $34 today on Amazon. It could be we are reacting too late or the price might jump up some more. I think it is the former, that we are already seeing the affects, and unless other sources of palm oil dry up, there won't be any sudden huge jumps in price or unavailability of VG. Just my opinion.

I keep my stash of VG & PG in glass mason jars in my vape fridge. Hoping the VG will maintain "freshness" for the duration of it's life outside of my lungs. When I bought it I was in a panic and just bought 2 gals of each without calculating how long they would last me. At heartland's prices for VG and PG at the time, it was easy to buy it without even thinking about it. IIRC, I paid $11/gal for the VG and $13/gal for the VG.

Have you vaped Soy-based VG?
I've never tried it.
Wondering if it tastes the same.

I've never Vaped palm based

Suppliers here used to list palm oil free, until they all did and it became apparent that nobody sells palm so no extra sales adding palm free stickers

It should. If you get the right grade of VG, it's something like 99.7% pure and most of the remaining 0.3% is water, so the source shouldn't make any difference. Of course, there's always the difference between 'should' and 'is'.
