Shame you aren't closer to southern IL border. Paducah is only an hour drive and I could get you some juice.
I'm kinda mid state. I'm thinking I should be able to order flavorings still so I'll make my own. I got pretty good at it and I still can. These last couple months, mostly for convenience at work, I've been using disposables. With some really awesome flavors, I have to say. I can probably clone those recipes, or get real close. I'm gonna miss that 50mg kick to the ol tickle spot though.

I don’t see how they CAN make DIY flavors illegal. Or base. Even mods thanks to little soldering heads that fit in a 510 “It’s not a vape mod it’s a batter powered soldering pencil. Honest”. Attys and nic are the only thing that is tough, and a metal lathe can make an atty. there’s probably 3d print stuff. Like ghost guns. Nic base is what will be attacked.

I agree with you but I’ve already encountered battery websites that will only sell batteries to commercial licensed buyers. Who would’ve thought that batteries might be on the frontlines of disappearing too.

Some. both pg and vg produce visible vapor.
Technically true, but a bit misleading. 100% PG hardly produces any visible vapor. Lung inhale and hold for at least two seconds and none at all. Mouth inhale will have a little, plus it does not linger nearly as long as vapor from VG.

That is a little scary. But 18650 is used for flashlights and RC and so forth. Both of those have large active hobby groups behind them. Plus most vapers now use pods and disposables. Seems unlikely to me that they would step on so many other folks just to stick it to the few remaining old time vapers who still use replaceable battery mods.

    This Hellvape Rebirth looks like it was made for my VandyVape Gaur. For a single coil RDA, it really does shine. As far as the vape ban went, it was disposables that are gone. I can still buy my favorite juices down the street and also I can get coils and other hardware. So, all is well in Winchester Ky. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I'm gonna miss some of those disposables, the RAZ brand has some really awesome flavors. The last one I was able to get was frozen banana. It tastes like banana pudding and not candy like laffytaffy. Just a touch of ice to make it interesting. Best banana flavor vape I've ever used. Gonna have to do some research for banana flavorings, I'll mix me up a batch once I determine which banana they used in those. Carry on!!

    The “Laffy taffy” flavor is cavendish banana. They’ve been gone since the 60’s. There are thousands of varieties of banana. Some not edible, some edible but not sweet (plantain) cavendish was a cloned cultivar, just as the current one is. It may disappear too, in which case “banana” will change again. The “banana pudding” is just the flavor of a specific cultivar. Non-cloned bananas have seeds btw. They’re blocky and cube like. I didn’t even know that till recently. I’d never seen a non-cloned banana.

    It's good to have several spares of everything. Until you don't. Two things just happened this morning, all before 430 because I sleep like crap these days. I knocked my vape off the nightstand and the glass shattered. Finding a glass for a fireluke 2 might be a tall order. No worries I have several other atomizers, including the latest. The second thing was I found the limitation to what would otherwise be a decent RDA, single coil and wick doesn't hold much juice. I tasted the dry cotton when I was expecting grapefruit and pineapple. My poor ol fireluke, it's been my daily for 6 years. I might get lucky and find a glass for it.

    I'm not sure if this company has what you need, but it would be worth a look. When I ordered from them a year or so ago, shipping took about 10 days.

    Not sure what version of the Firefluke you need? But here's one for a Version 2.

    That stuff can be hand blown from Pyrex tube. It’s not whether or not it is available. It’s whether it’s within budget
