OH MY GOD... why?

[mark40511]

Hi everyone... I'm so out of the loop becuase I've basically been on rinse/repeat not keeping up with anything in the vaping world and just buying my stuff from the same couple of sites for the last 10 years...I started vaping in 2009 and I still use the Z coils in the Z tank from innokin (it took me a few years to find what I thought was the perfect tank/coils for me so I just stopped looking and have been happy with it hoping they don't stop making them..... I only vape 3 mg nic and stick with one flavor from Ecblend Peach/watermelon/Canteloupe.(My favorite).. I vape heavily... I've noticed over the years how things keep changing and get more annoying with trying to order...I don't mix my own liquid.. I think I still vape the way people vaped probably 6 years or so ago...I just tried to order more liquid from ECblend and I ususally just click "reorder"... Now I notice they have the nixodine stuff...I have no clue about it but the little I've read I don't think I want it...Am I just totally screwed now... can I even buy nicotine to add to the non-nic liquid? Gosh...this is so stupid and frustrating... I knew in the back of my mind that a lot of legislation, gaslighting, lies were going on and I should have kept up with what's going on and prepared more...

i would suggest going to a local vape shop and check out pods and mods

then report back.

You can still buy freebase nicotine, though it's much higher priced than it used to be. You could add some of it to the ECblend non-nic eliquids if you want to keep using them. There are online calculators that can help you determine how much of the nicotine base to add, depending on how many mLs of the eliquid you buy...so you could end up with whatever mg you want it to be.
However, if your favorite is only a simple mix of Peach/watermelon/Canteloupe...you could try to clone it, and likely at least come up with something that's close to it. You'd also need to buy the flavorings and some plain VG and plain PG, too, if you decide to try DIY.

The good news is that ( at least in the UK) that Zenith and Zlide tanks are readily available as are the Z coils,

Some years ago I came to terms with the fact that nothing stays the same for ever, wish it though I might and started stocking up with both Nautilus and Z coils, plus tanks and mods to fire them.

As to juice - well I only use 16 strength Menthol chill, of which I'm buying a litre a month and keeping it in a dedicated freezer.

The choice really is clear, stock up with what you like, or move with the times. This latter may not work for you as it didn't for me.

I was invited to join a group of vapers a few days ago - and all were vaping pod mod type things - been there, did that - they weren't reliable like my own kit and stash so I left after a couple of days.

Making your own liquids is to easy not to do it. AND, it's too cheap!
Instead of spending $6/ml for juice ... 6 cents/ml is a better deal, don't ya think?
Now I mix @ 12mg/ml, so I'll use my fomula to show how easy it is.
Forget all those scales & stuff, you just don't need to get all fancy.
All I use is a glass Pyrex measuring cup.
Go to "nicotine giant . com" for nicotine & flavorings, and make sure they can still ship to your state.
Then "essential depot . com" for PG & VG (1 gallon of each)
So for a 150-200 bucks or so you're all set for about 5 years.
Now to mix my formula (this is so easy)
50ml of 100mg/ml nicotine in PG
150ml PG
200ml VG
_____________
400ml of 50/50 @ 12.4ff mg/ml
now "ff" = fudge factor, I don't care if it's 12.3 or 12.5, because I'm going to dilute it when I add flavoring anyway.
Post COVID, I mix 3ml of flavoring in 30ml base liquid.
