Oh I think at a minimum anyone who doesn't do a little stocking up will be cursing the tax man come this fall.
I can't disagree except on your way too soon timing.

Just getting an age verification in place in 6 MONTHS is "overwhelming the system" right now. How and How much to tax juice isn't an easy answer (to me). I think it's still a couple years out for them to finalize the Federal taxing of E-juice. And you can't Tax the Hell out of an industry that you Kill, silly Hoarders.

There is still Plenty of time to buy me a years worth of the excellent economy juice I use today and enough nic for a couple more years before any Big taxes finally hit.

The only people with a really rude awakening coming are the Sky is Falling stockpiling hoarders. Just like it is for Almost Every other the Sky is Falling! Stockpile! Hoard! situation that doesn't come to pass. Of course, they'll never Admit to being wrong, they'll just say Well, I was already going to buy and use it all anyway.

I dont squonk, I have tried it, and I have no further desire to do so again.

Knowing this, what reason could I possibly have to to go into a Bottom Feeder thread and tell them they are "wrong" for squonking? The only reason I can think of that I would ever do such a thing is if I simply wanted to stir up crap for the sport of it.

You never did answer my earlier question, why are you even participating in this thread?

My prediction, three months from now :

Currently available hardware will be about 10 % cheaper than it is now on average. Nicotine, i'm not sure, but roughly the same price as today is my guess.

We'll see.

Stockpiling is mostly a psychological issue though. What price for ease of mind ?

Look for the massive changes early next year.

Wow Bruce! I use to think you where just an obstinate fool, now I believe you just have nothing else to do so you like pokin a stick at the hornets nest to watch the worker bees get excited.

The states will jump on taxing juice and gear, no later than fall, now that the feds say it's all tobacco.

18650's aren't really a stockpile item but I have to give a plug for Illumn. I ordered 4 LG 3000mah HG2's ($5.99ea) on Friday at 2:30pm. They we're at my door this morning (from CA to MD). Two battery cases included. Great company and prices for sure.
Yeah I've got a good stock of batteries that I keep in rotation, I'm not stockpiling them. Other items though that "aren't" at risk is wire and cotton, but I do believe it will be harder to find the premium grades that are Vape specific. I don't have a huge stockpile of items like that but I do have a good backup supply. There's going to be a lot of things drying up, I've got a large stockpile of the essentials and am now going through getting a respectable supply of items that "will" be more difficult to find.

Anything tagged "for Vaping" like Cotton Bacon the FDA deems is a tobacco product, thus subject to the requirement of the $1 million+ extortion.

Because I think I have something positive and important to add.

Obviously.

@OcalaFlGuy

In a field one summer’s day a Grasshopper was hopping about, chirping and singing to its heart’s content. An Ant passed by, bearing along with great toil an ear of corn he was taking to the nest.
“Why not come and chat with me,” said the Grasshopper, “instead of toiling and moiling in that way?”
“I am helping to lay up food for the winter,” said the Ant, “and recommend you to do the same.”
“Why bother about winter?” said the Grasshopper; “we have got plenty of food at present.” But the Ant went on its way and continued its toil. When the winter came the Grasshopper had no food, and found itself dying of hunger, while it saw the ants distributing every day corn and grain from the stores they had collected in the summer. Then the Grasshopper knew:
“IT IS BEST TO PREPARE FOR THE DAYS OF NECESSITY.”

I don't know about next year, but i'm looking forward to September. A lot of really good sales on current hardware, when the Chinese rush out the new stuff in their pipeline to beat the August 8 deadline.
Now that makes me nervous. Key word being "rushing". Quality control is already an issue at times. I fear that many will rush products to market, at the expense of adequate testing.

Yeah that may be an issue, but i'm not looking to buy the new stuff in September ( I will wait til December until feedback is in ), i think really good deals will be available for current stuff.

Cool, we are all waiting for it, as we havent seen it yet......

Most of what we have seen from you is a high and mighty attitude, negativity, attacks, name calling, etc. At this point it wouldn't matter what your message is, nobody cares anymore.

There are others who share your point of view, for example Mazinny, however they contribute their point of view non-judgmentally and are therefor accepted with grace. An opposing point of view is not a problem, being "spoken down" to, "called out" as you termed it, is a problem. At that point communication ceases.

I am sure you are right. I just wish I could predict when the stuff I actually want will go on fire-sale.

You don't squonk!

How unamerican of you :rolleyes:

Actaully I ordered a squonk kit for my Disguiser mod I won. $17 and my Velocity Mini has a squonk pin, so I figured why not. Might even use SS TC mode for the first time.
