On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

[crxess]

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.

You and me. I have 16oz Bottles coming to split all the 1 liters down. Will help, but not a lot. Right hand can hold the funnel, but not easy. Left is good to go for most one handed task.

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.

The boy Scout motto "Be Prepared" makes sense to me even though i never was a boy Scout.

I hear you. But I can't 'like' your post. Not on medical issues.

That is why that pump peaked my interest. Sounds like a winner to me. I am definitely going to give it a go. Here is the link about the pump(with pics)

Have you tried the pumps that u can get for ketchup, sauces,shampoos? They are made for big bottles

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.

Simplest way is a Hobby Grinder and a light touch.

Best way is index and drill side holes. Make it v2 and side wick. Tuck a small portion to catch the Channel feeds.

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.

Earlier this year i sent an orphan RTA to a Friend in The UK. I could not ship it because i said "Its a Tank for an eCig. That ended my attempt to ship the Atty.

I went to another POST OFFICE the same day told this person " Its a Rebuildable Tank Atomizer " this time i did not use the eCig word and the second person did not Leap to the idea i was Shipping one of those dangerous Lithium Ion batteries and everything was OK.

haven't had any postal worker ask for specifics, yet. They usually just ask if its chemical, poison, battery, etc. And I always say no. I never tell them what's in it. Non of their business, I figure.

I told one that it's a flashlight topper. He raised an eyebrow, but shipped it no problem. lol

Would something like these help? Looks like it would be pretty secure.

I hope everyone takes at least 2 hours out of their stockpiling quest to watch this video.

Thank you. I have some small drill bits that can fit on a electric screwdriver type of thing.

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

Saw this useful suggestion a while ago on ECF. Can't link to it because I just cut and pasted the text.

"It can be fixed if you’re a little handy. Buy JB Weld and the 510 tap. Spread a little of the JB on the stripped threads and let it go for at least 24 hours. Then easily tap in new threads. You could also use the JB weld to permanently fix a 510 adapter to it. It may not look as nice but it will work."

This is about saving a mod after the threads have stripped, rather than protecting them. I don't know if JB would work on aluminium.

I've tried using 510 to 510 adapters on mods as thread savers. Problem I had was when I unscrewed the tank the adapter tended to come out of the mod rather than the tank coming out of the adapter. Maybe there is a way of locking the adapter onto the mod semi-permanently. Like using a drop of thread lock. Enough to hold it in place but still removable with a bit of force if necessary.

5-minute epoxy is good for that kind of thing.
Put it on the flat part of the adapter, not the threads.
If you need to remove it, drop it in a pan of water and boil it for a couple of minutes - the epoxy will let go and peel off easily.
I use this for workholding on my metal lathe all the time.

I don't believe this to be true, do you have a reference?

Plastic bottles are oxygen permeable, not good and freezing is recommended for long term storage of nic base.

Probably the same reason you shouldn't be refilling your empty purified water bottles over and over again.

 

[tony46113]

I would not count on too many Chinese mod makers or cloners to be selling as many items as we are use to seeing on the market. Especially if they have to get everything approved by the FDA.

Seriously? The Chinese ship millions and millions of dollars worth of counterfeit goods to the United States each year. They don't care about the FDA.

There used to be a vendor that sold something similar to what you are speaking of for stripped 510 threads. If I think about it long enough, I will remember who they are. I have a friend that was constantly stripping threads and I was constantly sending him to this site.

The federal gov't did not declare war on counterfeit goods. They declared war on vaping. My money says they can and will stop it. Enough to dissuade people from risking it.

Hmm...interesting. Never thought about that happening.

Sorry about my ignorance, but is a JB?
I am pretty handy. I used to work in a machine shop years ago.

There used to be a vendor that sold something similar to what you are speaking of for stripped 510 threads. If I think about it long enough, I will remember who they are. I have a friend that was constantly stripping threads and I was constantly sending him to this site.

I have an old 20w istick that is stripped. Only one I have ever had that did it. I didn't over tighten it or anything. It's an older one. Maybe they had problems with them back then. I kept it because I thought I could eventually fix it. So any information will be extremely helpful to me. It will add another mod to my stockpile.
