Random thought to start my day.
I wish I was more surprised about the fact that in the past 24 hours, there have been more posts to the CASAA facebook page than in the past 2 years.

It seems that no one was aware that the deeming regulations were going to happen?
:confused:
I know! Amazing isn't it?

Inquiring minds wanna know how ya did dat please!

I do not use/buy/order/have anything to do with 100mg nic. It's too dangerous. I buy what I'm comfortable with handling and go from there. And whomever reads this besides DebbaDoo, walk a mile in my shoes before you tell me how safe it is, how easy to work with, how much money I'm wasting, etc.

believing that our government would rather I die is a bit hard to accept.
Even though I've seen evidence of it before, it's still hard to deal with! Also that one agency can essentially wipe out an entire industry!

Been talking to other vapers, few of them seem to know what happened and they are reliant on stores for coils and juice. Thanks to this site I have been DIY for juice and coils for over 2 years.
Welcome to the porches!!! Good to see ya. But ya definitely oughta start gittin stocked up!
I've got my reos, two great atties, a couple more pretty good atties. Hope I'm not wrong, but I do believe batts, wire, cotton etc will be available, so workin on getting more nic and glass bottles to put it in. Hope we really will have two years and that prices don't go nuts

I can perfectly understand your situation. Concern about toxicity would be primary with your dialysis.

Can't walk that mile. It'd be easier if you'd just explain it. Is this due to a medical condition?

Sorry, this is a long thread to wade through. I really want to know.

People on dialysis in general are on it because thier organs are not functioning properly to clear toxic substances out of their bodies.

A relatively no big deal spill of 100 mg on the hands for us is potentially deadly to Lulu. Our body would clear it quickly. She could potentially OD.

First, Welcome jambi!! Sit a spell and tell us about yourself. Great group of caring, sharing people here!

Second, yes, so many have no clue what is going on. Still! I see vapers at dog shows and try to say HI! Some are in the know, but most are oblivious.

Third, I think I am pretty well prepared. Lots of toppers, spare parts and mods, both external and internal battery ones. I know the internals will die, however, so I have mulits of externals I like. I, too, will continue to stock as deals are found. With the super high watt/low ohm fad, older models are often blown out at great prices. I am fine with them, they fill my needs. We use what works for us, our vaping style and lifestyle. I was never a "bleeding edge" kind of person and treat my vaping the same.

It may not have looked like it, by my plan is nearly completed.
Janet and I have been prepping for close to 2 years.
Been building my stash for nearly that long as well.
I'm just going to continue gathering until forced to stop.


I have 5 liters of 100 mg/ml nic. That should last about 25 years (until I'm 85). I'll probably end up buying another liter. But, I really shouldn't need it.

I have innumerable mods, combination of mech and regulated. I can't even imagine needing more. But, I'll still probably add a few more over time.

I have lots of RBAs. Still need spare parts. And, a few more back-ups wouldn't hurt.

I would love to have more cartos for my tanks. Although, I do also have some Sophias and Divers too.

I have PT2s (perfect for being discrete in public if it becomes necessary) and lots of replacement coils (which I could also rebuild).

I guess I'm pretty much ready. Close anyway. I'll continue to fill out my collection and add back-ups. I'ld like to buy another liter of nic, send my REO in for repairs, add more Kayfuns, cartos, spare coils, and spare parts for my RBAs. But, if push came to shove, I'm ready enough.

Oh, I've been here awhile. Most of my presence is in the DIY forums. Just popped in because I'm interested to see how all the different cliques, the porchers, tootlers, builders, clouders, heh...buyers, who'd I leave out? ... are responding to all the news. :)

I would never push anyone into 100mg. Get in with whatever level is safe and lets you learn and build your confidence, I started with 24 and worked my way up. Once I had a solid procedure down and started mixing my juice in 750ml batches it made life easier for me. 100 definitely isn't for everyone and deserves respect.

Welcome to the Porches, jambi and doghair! Make yourselves at home!

Sickening, isn't it? I've felt like throwing up ever since I heard the news.

I'm not betting on it. Whatever the Feds do or don't do, local governments have been known to sweep in and change things overnight. Better safe than sorry!
