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.)
Yep.... I handle it very carefully. Each time I need some mixing nic I decant around 50ml direct from the freezer which then gets diluted with 50ml of PG to give me 100ml of 100mg/ml to work with.

It's way past time for you nicotine addicts to get on the band wagon to get off the stuff.

Why?

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

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

https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/BILLS-116s2463is/pdf/BILLS-116s2463is.pdf

This makes me think to purchase more nic just for investment purposes.......I just may do that! :)

Based on our consumption rate, we have enough nic on hand to last until my wife is 100 years old and me 103. And statistically I'll like pass along to another realm before her. So, perhaps she can even sell some down the road to pay off my funeral expenses. :rolleyes:

Who's got the best price on nic nowadays? I've just converted my nephew and need more nic! :rickroll::vapor::banana:

I just ordered some 100mg from Heartland Vapes. Hasn't arrived yet, but maybe I should have waited a bit because it was $57/ltr. I was worried a lot of people would try to stock up and there would be a shortage.

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.

If you don't mind my asking, if you were never addicted to nic and never used it in your DIY, why are you vaping?

Didn't know about the 5%. I'm an idiot.


No "You" are not - I just found out about the code a couple of days ago (I think it is a permanent code - not sure) . . . Matter of fact, I used it today to get 2 more liters of 100 mg NIC (VG this time) and a few bottles & caps to decant a few liters to freeze since I hit the free shipping (price was somewhat reasonable, especially with shipping included - glass bottles weigh a lot if Ya' know what I mean) . . . So I should be set for at least the next 15 years if there is any ban / tax on NIC as the FED GOV is proposing now . . . ;)

BTW: Keep your eyes on this thread:


People are continually updating sales and codes for a number of different "Stuff" and where you can get them too . . . Just know that there are a HUGE number of post, matter of fact pages to read everyday - but it is worth it given what is being shared . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

Hope this information helps . . . :D

    I'll make you feel better - I recently paid 34$ shipped for 12mg-50/50 500ml pre-mixed lol. Not much of a prepper, haha.

    Hey-but ... your time is 'money'. The extra you paid for the pre-mix saves you the time and trouble doing it yourself. :D

    Something is better than nothing. I read about everyone's nic stash, and I have 2L of 100mg here. Get what you can afford, more is better, but some is better than none. I'm good for 8-10 years, I'd like more, but it is what it is.

    With all these sales going on, and all the new gizmos offered, I feel like a newbie......but, actually, I have ENOUGH of everything I need to enjoy vaping until I'm 95. Possibly more, if I don't share what I have. A lot of it is old school, and still works, but admittedly, couldn't resist some of the newer gear such as the Aegis Mini, Solo, Zeniths and a few other goodies. The minifit caught me by accident and have those, too.
    One thing I keep stocking up and can't seem to have enough of is flavors. I'm not sure I'll even have time to test all the recipes I have, but I'm certainly going to give it a try. Good ole RDAs are taking up a lot of room lately in my test area! ;)

    The book cases in the living room are looking more and more like the shelves behind the counter in a B&M vape store. :rolleyes: And even though we've been stocked fine for Nic ... the impending $2800 to $5000 tax on a liter of Nic spurred Janet to buy 3 more liters from Heartland. Yesh! o_O

    LOL.........yeppers, I have intentions of buying two more, a second one for Nancy, a friend who I've been aiding and abetting for the last few years, and one more for myself. Telling my children to take care of these liters and cash em in, if necessary.......I will leave full instructions.

    You just gave me an idea.......about storage.....I do have plenty as I use a walk in closet in one of the back bedrooms that doesn't get used......I took all the clothes out of there and put them in the other bedroom, and put in a 5 drawer bureau(from Wal-Mart) along with a roll around 5 drawer storage thingy.
    I could use another of those 5 drawer units, but realized I have dining room storage that hasn't been used either.....I tell ya, we be goin nuts!:confused:

    I admit I am math-challenged. Could someone explain to me how a tax on a gram of nicotine would apply when we buy our juice by mg/ml? Grams are a measure of weight and mass while milliliters and liters are a measure of volume. I'm quite confused about how it would be applied. I hope I am explaining my confusion correctly. Just color me confused and ignorant.

    100 mg/ml means that in every mL of nic base there is 100 mg of nic. So in 1L there is 1000 mL. so 100 x1000= 100,000 mg in one liter of nic base

    Mg=milligram is also a unit of weight. It is 0.001 gram. You multiply your strength of juice in mg/ml by the number of mls inthe bottle then multiply by 0.001 gives the grams in a bottle. For example a30ml bottle of 24mg/ml has 24 x 30 x 0.001= 0.72 grams. At $50/gram, the tax would be $36. A 1 liter bottle of 100mg/ml has 100 x 1000 x 0.001=100 grams. At $50/gram, the 1 liter bottle's tax is $5000.

    Now it is clear. Thanks for the clarification. Is it apparent I got sympathy "C" in college algebra?
