Kent said when they are done he will publish all of their recipes with instructions. can't get better customer service than that.

I feel bad for all losing their advs. it's a sad day in vapeland
Publishing their recipes is a great idea; I hope I can find them when he does.

I love the Custard's Last Stand and Crème Brulee. :wub:

I ordered more Wakonda and there is very little left in stock! I did order as much NT as my CC could handle but I hope they have another 50% off sale again when I have more $.
Fingers crossed! I am absolutely loving the Pumpkin Spice Cheesecake right now and will get more for next fall! A sealed bottle should be good for approximately 2 years!

Totallywiked as announced their intent to close in the summer of 2018
due to regulatory constrictions.

The FDA said it would take action against vendors they felt were
not applying or,not applying in good faith to meet the new regulatory requirements
I assume before the August 2018 date.

Hopefully things will shake out more in our favor. In the meantime it
will be interesting to see how the FDA reacts to what will certainly be
many of these type of announcements.

The -vast majority- of juice manufacturers will be closing down, it's not a matter of if, but when. I expect to see many closure announcements in 2017. Some juice manufacturers are planning to milk the market through the end of 2018 before "bailing out" at the last possible moment, however the FDA has been threatening to take legal action against those who do. In any case it won't be long before the only retail juice that'll be available will be those offered by major corporations (like big tobacco). With very little market competition and the extreme high overhead cost of FDA approval/compliance, juice prices will rise significantly. Then of course there's the coming state tobacco taxes (on these newly deemed "tobacco products") which will be added on top of that. In the aftermath I suspect we could see retail juice prices at or above the $1.50 per ml mark in PA where there's already a 40% tax in place with many other states rushing to follow suit.

.....In the meantime it
will be interesting to see how the FDA reacts to what will certainly be
many of these type of announcements.

They'll be grinning ear to ear as will the members of congress who pressured them to take action against us in the first place. Declining tobacco sales will stabilize, the "right" people will be getting the lion's share of profits and state tobacco tax revenues will soon recover from their recent losses, all will be right in their world.

With a freezer full of liquid nic and several years experience making NETs none of this will impact me personally but it will devastate the future of vaping and specifically those who currently smoke who might have been able to quit through vaping.

I have nic in the freezer but have never tried my hand at diy yet and I love the NET juices. I only buy from three vendors and if they all go out of business I have no choice but to try mixing my own!
I only bought four liters of nic and hopefully it will be enough!
If Clark does share the recipes it will help!

I came across a post in one of the many sites I scrolled through today, can't recall where now, that Trump enjoyed vaping. If it is true there may be hope yet??????
http://www.heavengifts.com/guide/donald-trump-caught-vaping.html

"Donald has never smoked cigarettes, drank alcohol or taken drugs. However, he seems to enjoy vaping. “I love vaping 0 mg Unicorn milk e-juice” he confessed after his meeting with the Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus.

The candidate whipped out his vape gear; an Aspire K4vape pen with a Cleito Subohm tank, during a short interlude during the meeting. Trump was snapped outside having a cheeky vape. “Obama can’t blow big clouds like me”, he said to the journalist that caught him on camera."

Bruce, you haven't visited the nicoticket forum have you? Kent specifically stated that it's impossible to attract and retain talent in an industry that has no future, due to the regulations. He had stated earlier that he was going to try to hang in there until Aug 2018 but he's lost his people, the people who kept Nicoticket going.

Very sad! I can honestly say that without Nicoticket, I would probably have gone back to cigs by now... Some of the best customer service I have ever seen.
On a related topic, does anyone know of any juices that are close to Wakonda or the Virus? I need these in my life :)
I'm certain of the base for the virus. I won't post it here. But you can search my post history and puzzle it out....

That's the headline I came across. Was hoping for a better story and under the circumstances that's not even funny nor cute.

Imo, if you are closing your doors after many years of being a highly successful company & thousands of loyal vapors supported you , releasing the recipes that made you successful is a great farewell & the right thing to do .

Thats the definition of giving back and showing your appreciation to all that made you what you are .
