On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

[Yiana]

My problem is my allergies are worse than they've ever been. As far as humidity, I lived in Atlanta for five years. Talk about humid and my kid got asthma because of how bad the polution is. It was extremely humid a few days ago. Illinois got really humid as well. My husband hates humidity but I feel we are behind friendly lines as opposed to enemy lines so it makes it worth it for me.

Three years ago family tried to pressure me into assisted living. Abd went so far to call adult protective services on me.

That's horrible. I'm sorry.

Gotta say I'm beginning to fill up on vape stuff for the vapocalypse. Bought a .... ton of 12$ kbox's and bought a ton of $10 subtank minis and Nanos from bevapehappy. The best thing about the subtanks is you can build on them. Got plenty on nicotine and diy supplies to last for years and years. Having a lot of fun prepping!

My two subtank minis came in from vape happy today. I only opted for first class mail. It came from NV to TN in three days. They are on top of their shiz. I now have four subtank minis. Unfortunately our final bills came in from the old apt today with less than two weeks to pay. So I'm out of luck till July 3rd when I get paid. I really want two picos but I want another liter of nic too. That way I'm set for 30 years counting the juice I will make my mil.

You may be right. I hope you are but i for one refuse to take that chance.

There will be alot of vape shops, online and b&ms that will go under this fall. At least that is what I predict.

Why sure, we all seem a bit more than a little paranoid. Why stock up now when there might be 2 years to do so?

The thing is, where I live online tobacco product sales are outlawed. How long will it be before the rest of the country/world decides to not ship to my state? I don't know about others but I'm not taking my chances.

Why worry about online sales as there is always B&M's popping up on every corner right? The way I see it, it is the online sales that keep the local B&M's in check. Unbridled competition. Take the competition away and what do YOU think the locals are going to do? Lower their prices? I think not.

Then there's the State and local taxes. Suddenly they have a new tobacco product line to tax. Recall that ~60-90% of the cost of a pack of smokes is taxes and you start getting the idea.

Yeah 08/08/17 we'll likely still be able to get much of what we can get now. However the $64 question is at what cost?

Since I'm able to afford it NOW I'm buying ahead. My guess is that before the Feds/State/Local's are done it might be less expensive to smoke cigarettes.

I'm also hoping I can order stuff by Aug 3rd when I get paid again. Hopefully they won't be out of stock by then.

Whata we need to remember is that they need tobacco licenses and also the store needs to have tobacco zoning.

I use a simple poly kitchen funnel to pour into smaller bottles.

This is what I have been using also. But, for me it is getting harder to hold the 32oz bottles while pouring. RA is not your friend. And I so do not want to make a mess with 100mg/ml.

Here's a question...what about heat sinks? They would save threads on mods?

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

I'm also wondering if they will comply. I know it's federal, but are they going to be able to check the thousands of stores across the US? The stuff we can't talk bout has been legalized in many states even though it is illegal on the federal level. Just some food for thought.

More food for thought...what if USPS starts really cracking down and won't ship anything they think is questionable?
At this point I just do not put my faith in the FDA even doing what they say they will do. I mean --who is to stop them on Aug 9th or so from coming out and say 'opps' we changed our minds and starts changing stuff around. Far fetched, I know...but.. If I have over-reacted and bought too much at least I will have it in hand and not have to worry about it. Peace of mind-----priceless.

In theory, as long as it stayed on the mod until the threads on the female end wore out, I guess.

This is true and what I am worried about.

Just trying to think of more things to make mods last a little longer if perhaps that ends up happening

Dang double post

I've got a few enroute for that exact reason, can't hurt.

That's exactly what I was thinking. They're cheap at fasttech too.

I saw to today something like that but it turns your flat top batteries into button tops. But couldn't you just solder a bead onto a battery instead?

Question about subtank mini v1 rba...is there an easy way to make the juice wells bigger? I'm still going to order a pack of v2 rbas, but was just wondering if I can still use these for max vg.

These just screw into your exisiting 510 connection, no soldering.

That's horrible. I'm sorry.

When one side is causing problems, and me taking the bill by the horns and demonstrated i was logical, rational, and three in some mental gymnastics TK make an impresion.
