Oh wow... I have issues...

Big Pharma's interest in ecig buisness is all about asset protection.

I work for the Pharmaceutical company that is spending big to eliminate "competition" of their smoking cessation products

It's not about healthcare...it's about money. They would like to eliminate your options.

They have been aggressive in trying to get me to use the Ch----x product.

All of the company sites have gone 100% "tobacco free" zones and in turn heavily promote the product to their known smoking employees. Because of the chemical compounds I work with, I am required to have periodic "health surveillance" check ups. They know they have a captive audience of smokers and really push the "C" product. I know many who have taken them up and have heard the same stories over and over about side effects...they stop taking it as they would rather smoke than deal with said side effects.

The company policy makes no mention of nicotine only tobacco products....so rather than draw any attention, I stealth vape. I know that as soon as they realize that there are people vaping that it will be included in the company "tobacco" policy.

Minnesota already has a 35% tax on e-cigarette liquid/carts that was passed in 2010

Yuck. I never knew this...because I started this year and watched current news.

i just wanted to chime in and remind everyone that there is a health board regulated ban on pvs/liquid with nicotine here in canada, but we're still hanging in there and businesses are growing.
no need to hoard. this beast is so far gone i highly doubt there'd be any way to make everything inaccessible.

I'm with the suggestion you definitely need a few mechanical mods..good solid ones! No wire, no chips, no things that go boing. The VV stuff is okay, but it WILL die and then where will you be? Even the Provari! Also thumbs up on DIY. It's a lot easier than you think (if I could figure it out, so can anyone!) and it's kinda fun! I have worked up my own recipe for menthol that I absolutely LOVE (can't stand the stuff I used to buy now) and is easy to make and inexpensive. Only took me a maybe a week to figure it out and now...I'm a happy camper. Always have juice! I've been working my way down over the past year with the nicotine levels. Gone from 24 to 4 now...and still heading down over the next several months. I hope to get rid of the nicotine thing completely. But NEVER stop vaping!!!

You need to get some glass bottles if you plan to store liquid long term. Plastic can leach and you'll end up vaping it.

Ok... can someone show me a 100% mechanical mod? The only "fail-safe" I can think of is dripping juice on a piece of tin foil and putting a lighter under it... And I really don't think I could resort to that...

Welcome back to vaping, lost. You didn't say how long you have stopped smoking, but stocking up large amounts of any pre-mixed juice is false economy. As mentioned, they have a very finite lifetime compared to unflavored nic.

All good advice, but what I haven't seen mentioned yet, is that if you are new to vaping, stocking up on a large amount of juice is a bad idea because you easily may not like it in the future. Your preferences will change. If you have been recently smoking, your sense of taste is not yet right. What you love now you may easily hate in a few/many months.

Explore DIY, it is orders of magnitude cheaper, and you can always make it like you like it.

For some reason I thought I gave you this link, but here it is again. A fully mechanical mod... the Caravela. Post 296 shows the 3 tube sizes. The 3rd from the left is assembled. The drip tip to the right with the extra pins.

all you do is insert your battery. Bottom button. 510 connection.
