I just received the 2nd half of my fasttech order. The order was for spare kayfun V3 Minis, replacement glass, insulators, and battery wraps. I received the Minis on Monday so the replacement parts were in the package today. The package had clear packing tape all around it so I think it was opened at customs. It was also the first half of the order and was supposed to have arrived last Friday. So it appears, at least for now, that I have all of the supplies that I need to get me set for the vaping apocalypse.
GUys make sure you nic supplies are in order. Now the senate is trying to tax the crap out of it and doubling what the house is going for. Senate side works out to $5000 per Liter of 100 mg/ml

What a ridiculous bill! I doubt it'll make it out of of committee as it stands, much less ever make it to law. Just in case though, I just ordered another liter of nic even though I had just ordered enough for a couple of years. One liter lasts me a while at 10mg/ml.
RiverSupply.com has 1 litres 100mg nic for $50 with free shipping on purchases of $50 or moreWho's got the best price on nic nowadays? I've just converted my nephew and need more nic!
Hearland has a L for $45, but I looked at PurNic™ E-Liquid Nicotine (Thanks @Don29palms 
) and they have higher mg choices for a comparable price. Too bad I didn't know about higher mg nic when I stocked for me and my girls I'd have more room in my freezer.

I have a lifetime supply in the freezer if I continue to mix at 3mg mix strength, but this makes me think I need to order one more bottle just in case. Dang government. Those of us who think the government is protecting BT for the cigarette taxes are probably right.
Another twist that could have a huge impact for many folks. It's way past time for you nicotine addicts to get on the band wagon to get off the stuff. I know... easy to say maybe but that should have been a goal from the start of taking up vaping IMO. That would have been my plan anyway if I had been addicted to it.
This has no affect on my vaping at all as I am not addicted to nic, have never used it in my DIY.
I have no intention of quitting nicotine. I like the effects and have some hopes that it will delay the onset of Alzheimer's and/or Parkinson's. I intend to continue using around 85 mg of nicotine each day, or just over 30,000 mg per year. (This will use up about a liter of my 100 mg/ml stock every three years. I think I'm good for all time.)
EDIT: corrected the math

I've started buying mine from china. I got 2 litres of 200mg/ml at a lowish price........80 Euro from memory. But I did get slapped with a 25 Euro import tax. Still an excellent deal though. It's slightly yellow tinged which may be because of heat in transport but it tastes fine. I live in the France but am English and the laws changed with the TPD which was introduced in 2017 which made strengths above 20mg/ml difficult to find.
There are still some places but I decided to go with China as they we're supplying the strength I needed.
Your taxation law makes things very difficult though cause unless it slipped under the radar you'd get taxed anyway.

For me the choice is take some really nasty drugs to control my Depression and Anxiety disorders with side effects that for me were absolutely debilitating or keep vaping a low level of Nic. Even my Doc agrees the low level of Nic is the lesser evil. She had the great fun of dealing with the drug side effects for me and doesn't want to go back there any more than I do.
It's great you were able to quit nic. Really it is.
Quitting nic just isn't realistically possible for some of us.
Did you know that some with geriatric mental afflictions (Parkinson, Alzheimer, dementia, etc.) are treated with nicotine patches?
Sooo, being 72 y.y., I'll keep nicotining as a prophylactic measure. Regardless, thank you for your concern.
I hope you're channeling the FDA and all other 3 letter people when you call all of us nicotine addicts, and don't truly mean to insult us. Most everyone here is using nic for reasons valid to them . So what business of it is yours or the GOV or anyone else? Some actually choose nic, when they can go no nic, for the benefits that iffy touched on.
Congratulations on not being a nic addict, you're getting off a bit cheaper than the rest of us, but do you drink coffee, caffeinated soda, hot chocolate? Do you use anything regularly that is not a need, but a want? Are you an addict? And I'm stocked up because I'm not letting ANYONE tell me when it's "way past time to get off the stuff". AGAIN, that's not up to you, the GOV, or anyone else.
I continue to use nic because I still work and have to deal with people in my work. I may or may not quit when I retire. It's 100% up to me.

That's some powerful juice. You'd have to learn some serious puff-control before vaping that straight. (I've vaped 100 mg/ml and that was tough enough to avoid over-puffing and getting nic sick.)
Well said. I use nic because of my anxiety and that's between me and my doctor to discuss. NOBODY ELSE! I'll quit if I choose to on my own terms.
When I was still in the Navy, I attended an Article 15 (Captain's Mast) for a guy who was caught with THC in his system during a random urinalysis test. His excuse was that his mom had glaucoma and he didn't want to get it, too. The Captain thought it was a unique excuse but it didn't help the kid.
