I’ve always ran my biips on blue.

Chain vaped a Biip this morning with coffee .. I'd call it one of the best things I ever spent $6 clams on ..

When I mixed my new liquid batch Sunday, I upped the nic to about 12mg from my usual 6-8mg ..

Glad you like them so much.

Well, they are a fairly elegant device, that, so far, seem to work quite well .. what's not to like .. ??

And, they were cheap .. or, let's say, inexpensive ..

You definitely got an excellent deal.

My stock of Z coils is .8 and 1.6.

My range of Z's goes from 1.6 to 2.something (the very early ones)

Thought they dropped that tax after awhile. Only came across one place that added it shortly after it came out, but I can easily go a year in between orders of vape stuff.

Still there 40% of wholesale price is chargered to the vendors who pass it off to the buyer. So I was charged $4.80 PA tax on a purchase of 2 Z-biips for $12. Lightfire charged me 40% of retail not wholesale. I guess if the start calculating it on wholesale it will give away their profit margins because you could work the math backwards and figure out the wholesale priced based on the tax that was charged (give it was based on wholesale cost).


From PA Website,
The tax rate for e-cigarettes is 40 percent of the purchase price from the wholesaler on the following:

• Electronic cigarettes — defined as an electronic oral device, such as one composed of a heating element and battery, electronic circuit or both. An electronic cigarette provides a vapor of nicotine or any other substance, and the use or inhalation of an electronic cigarette simulates smoking. Electronic cigarettes are subject to be taxable regardless of whether the devices are manufactured, distributed, marketed or sold as an e-cigarette, e-cigar, e-pipe or under any other product, name or description. These devices are taxable when sold with or without the liquid or substance.
• Any liquid or substance sold for use in an electronic cigarette, regardless of whether the liquid or substance contains nicotine.
• E-cigarette devices sold in complete kits that include any liquid or substance for use in the electronic cigarette, regardless of whether the liquid or substance contains nicotine.

Example: If the retailer purchased e-cigarette liquid for $10, the retailer would pay tax of $4.

I would have to guess, but I would think that those Zbiip's at $6.00 are under dealer cost, which is generally around 50% of retail ..

That PA 40% is quite a hit ..

 

[Uncle Willie]

I found a couple sealed Kanger Protank 2's in my stuff when I was organizing a couple weeks ago .. are they worth listing in the classified section .. ??

 

[DavidOck]

Couldn't hurt, although I'm a bit skeptical about how well they'd go. But maybe?

A lot of folks still like the old stuff.

Yep ... it wiped out the majority of vape shops in the state before the deeming came along. And to make matters worse ... it was retroactive. Which meant the vendors had to pay the tax on everything that had in stock, not just future sales.

That just downright sucks pondwater.

 

[Anise]

Good morning everyone!

 

[FranC]

Good morning to the young at heart

 

[Diver9543]

Good Morning all. I hope everyone has a good day.

 

[oldbroad]

And here's Good Morning no. 4!!

BUT... the sky looks like this for about three/four days now

 

[DavidOck]

Morning, misfits.

Lawn mower is waiting. Thankfully the latest round of storms didn't bring down a lot of branches, and no trees this time.

 

[Janet H]

Good morning. Pretty overcast, but going to 65 with rain this afternoon. There's storms coming our way, but at least will clear out in time for the weekend. Let the egg hunts proceed!!

My dog caught a hare in the yard pre dawn so I had to clean that up. Yuck! She is crated for most of the day today, bad dog.

Well, at least she's beautiful! She's just doing what dogs do. It's funny, we get alerts on our phones if something happens in the neighborhood. Early this morning we got one that there was a fox spotted. Some people get freaked out about it and I'm not quite sure why. Wonder what they would have thought if they'd seen the raccoon on our deck last night. Some of our neighbors don't like the deer either. Maybe they should move back to the city.

I kept looking for a BS emoji, but could not find one, so ::

Based on my personal experience, I don't think moving to the City is going to cure the menagerie issue ..

When I lived in the city in WA, we had all sorts of critters. Their habitat has been taken over for development so where are they going to go.
