You must have ordered from the same place I did. I ordered last month & got out of 5 items. The rest were backordered. Some of that shipped yesterday & the others won't ship till the 13th. About a month after I ordered. Need to order a few more things this month. Then there's the FT order that hasn't shipped..

for fasttech... Go to your order summary and remove ant back ordered items. After about a week, the rest will ship, and you can re-order the back order things if you want.

Not exactly. They are going in for heating the tobacco without burning it. It is supposed to be safer, but with all the extra chemicals they put on the leaves, I'm not certain. Maybe Dr. Vape will have something about it.
They also make e-cigs both pen style and vv/vw box style a side by side with s top fill tank only thing I didn't see was replacement coils.

It really isn't good news. They are Big Tobacco. They just want their $ back that vaping drained away.

I disagree if they get involved puts more money in the fight for vaping. Yes they are in it for the money but I think big pharmacy is our biggest threat.

Nicotine in freezer. Do I need to freeze pg/ vg as well? I know someone told me a simple way to measure, but I don't remember. Do I need to buy measuring stuff? They've got beakers ,flasks ,and syringes. What do I need? I'm at 6 Nic , and like a 75/25 (around about) pg to vg. Seems like overkill to have all those measuring things. I've been saving empty tinted glass eliquid bottles.soap and water wash out?
Glad you've been saving the glass bottles your juice comes in. the more of those you have, the less you have to buy. Jup as someone said, wash em out with soap and water. If you have some PGA (pure grain alcohol) like everclear or a high alcohol content cheap vodka you can give them a quick rinse in that also. It isn't necessary and I usually don't have it on hand, but it helps dry em out good and maybe helps sterilize them a bit.

I ordered them from Academy. I hope they've shipped and I'm just not being told about it. will call the 800 number tomorrow and check the status. I checked out as a guest so don't have tracking info. Someone else ordered the same day a few hours before me and made an acct so will see if they have more info. No reason for them to have not shipped yet. Sorry your stuff is being delayed so badly.

Yes, if they previously held ejuice, soap and water wash is fine. Heck, I don't even use soap, just lots of hot water ;) If you do use soap, DO rinse REALLY REALLY well!

No need to freeze the PG and VG, although keeping cool and dark is good. But you can, if you wish and have space. It won't hurt them. As is the case with the nic, let them come to room temp before opening, to avoid condensation in the bottles. And the VG, if coming from the fridge or freezer, may not even pour at those temps! Gotta warm it up a bit! :lol:

Your "beakers, flasks and syringes" could well be all the measuring stuff you need. Depending on the quantities you're mixing.

Like many, I tend to mix my 100 ml/mg nic down to about my desired strength. (Actually a bit higher, since the flavorings will bring it down a tad more.)

So, for you, say 6 ml of 100 mg nic, 69 ml of PG and 25 ml of VG would give you 100 ml of 6 mg nic in 75/25 PG / VG. But keep in mind that most flavorings are in PG, and, of course, have no nic. So going with, e.g. 7 ml nic, 64 ml PG and 30 ml VG might get you close enough to your desired final mix once those flavorings are added. You'll need to adjust that depending on how much (i.e. what %) flavoring you use. I'm rarely above 10% flavoring on my mixes, vape at 18 and like it around 70/30 PG/VG, and mixing my working stock to 20 mg nic at 65/35 works fine to keep me an ex-smoker :)

Do NOT mix a new flavor in large quantities! While certainly cheaper than ready made, no reason to be wasteful if it's something that you really don't like. Some mix 10 ml test batches, of new flavors. I tend to do that with new single flavors, so I have an idea of how they taste solo. So I have a clue on what to adjust when used in a blend ;) Once past that, I tend to mix new ones in 30 ml batches, since if I'm really determined, I'll wait a day before trying it, and still have enough to let it steep for a while to see if it gets better ;)
Great info. She'd pm'd me and I gave her nearly identical info :D I got 16ml nic, 134 ml pg and 50 ml vg for 200 mls of base and I calculated at 8% nic since I wasn't sure what percentage of flavoring she was mixing at.

You are correct that BP is our biggest threat......but BT getting involved does not put money into the fight for vaping in my opinion. FDA and BT have an agreement which is why we have to prove vaping is beneficial to the public health and BT doesn't! BT getting involved means that they will make cigalike stuff that very few successful vapers have stayed with. That is all that will be available if all this isn't stopped. The success rate I believe will decline from what it is now. I don't believe I'd have been able to stay off cigs if all that had been available were cigalike products. In fact, I know I wouldn't have. I tried a disposable and it was awful, but through ECF I found better equipment and certainly better juice than what will be available from BT.

I had my airflow too low without realizing it....and my watts too high.

Right in the middle of a puff, it crackled and popped a hot bubble of e-liquid in my mouth.

Don't. Even. Go. There. :banana::lol:
I think we've all been there at one time or another. Jup it sucks

I guess I should have added more if you look at the products British american tobacco are making they are more advanced and I'm sure others are looking at more advanced products just makes business sence or maybe just letting hope get in the way of thinking but what I see overseas gives me hope.

well and I didn't check it out. I'm not familiar with them, but so far the 3 main tobacco companies here have been the power players. If they're doing something different that give folks more choice, and have the $ and political pull to compete then that's great.

I had been predicting the first significant snow in the first week of December. People said "Unhuh. That is way too late." We have snow on the ground, fell all day yesterday.
wow.....that's kewl. Not that y'all got a lotta snow, but that you were correct.

It's been raining here since Thursday, & there wrre flood watches all weekend.

Rain here too each day, but just not a whole lot of it. Not sure what the streets are like since I haven't been out in it, any further than the mailbox

Ginny brought home a thing from the guy that owns a evil plant store. It's a little carto tank with you know what kind of oil in it threaded to 510. I don't use the stuff but I tried one puff at 10w wow took my head off for about 2 hours. They sell them at the store for $25. She gets it wholesale since she is like his granny too. If I was to imbibe in it that would be the way to go. Taste like Germany.
we don't really even have it medicinally here. It is for just certain circumstances, but forget what that is. I never liked it when I was a teen/young adult, but have certainly considered it for pain. they don't mind shooting me full of steroids that'll destroy bone, but takes an act of Congress and then some to get pain meds.

Oh, and saw this in an email I did open from 101 vape. Have been deleting most of them. Looks interesting for those who have trouble with how much pressure to apply with coil jigs that have the cap you turn, or maybe those who want twisted coils but don't have a drill
