I know myself, I'm not the type that would buy off black market...FAR too uptight to do that. :facepalm:
If my vape went away, as in, if I run out of things, I'd really like to say or think that I wouldn't go back to smoking, but I really fear I would.
My DH still smokes, it doesn't bother me, or tempt me in the least, and it really hasn't since day one. I'm one of those lucky ones it didn't/doesn't bother...but, there's prob a carton and a half in the fridge now, if I was out of vape, I'd prob smoke. Sorry/ashamed to say...just being truthful. :blush:
And I can't ask for anything other than that!!!
My point tho was we here in forums are better prepared than those who don't visit forums- whose only knowledge of ecigs came from the B&M they got their setup & juice from.


OAN~ I know people who went back to smoking cigarettes & it had nothing to do with the FDA- they were just too cheap to buy their own stuff. As long as I was supplying everything, they were happily vaping away; once I stopped, so did they.

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
Someone should find a really loooong drip tip cause I ain't putting my face ANYWHERE near that thing.
LOL
LOL... I think we could unscrew the base nut and get our 510 on there. it may end up being safer than the battery unit we use now (idk,, just throwing it out there).. I would like to have a real electrical mod to save my batteries for when I am out of the house. -----although,, it would make me fat and lazy :)

I would buy off the black market for sure, but I am completely stocked for likely over 20 years so no need.

I really don't think I will ever smoke again and I have no desire. I am not "that guy" that plugs his nose and wave his hands when walking by smokers, but it does gross me out. Having said that, I said the same thing a decade ago and went back to smoking after almost 4 years .... free. Smoking is suck a filthy stinky unhealthy thing, but man it is a hard thing to quit.

I'm interested in stocking up but I refuse to take on an end of the world mentality that many have adopted here- that's why I'm in a stockpiling thread.

Quite frankly, if I thought it was End of the World........Why bother? I really do not prescribe to - you can take it with you :D

Thanks. :blush:
Oh, MOST DEFINITELY better prepared. NO doubt!

The woman I work with has said she'll stock up a little, she uses egos, nothing that can be rebuilt, zero interest in DIY or rebuilding. I've offered until I'm just blue in the face to teach her, help her pick out very simple devices, loan her $$ if that's the problem, etc.
She said she knows how she is, she'd buy the stuff and not do it.
So, at this point, I have to Bless it and release it.
Can't save the world, and in your case, can't keep the world supplied!
That's sad, only vaping when you supplied it. :(

Someone posted one that only plugs into a USB cable, as in then plugged into your computer, or I guess a wall outlet with an adapter.
I hadn't ever seen one, but apparently, they did, or do exist.

No, I don't hold my nose or complain either...I smoked for far too long to be "that" person.
I only was ever able to quit for 6 months before. :(

Can you please explain why you think people here on the forums would go back to traditional cigarette smoking? It's not as if we don't have a clue what's going on- it's the outside world that doesn't know what's about to hit them.....those are the people who need the message.

Read what I said --

We've got less than two months now, if you don't prep expect to go back to Tobacco like they want or be happy with cigalikes from big tobacco.

Yup. I smoked for well over 20 years and Zyban helped me quit. Absolutely evil, terrible stuff, but it did make me quit.

Almost 4 years then I got drunk and bummed a smoke from a buddy. Right back at it after that. Crazy.

All vaping supplies will not disappear overnight. Juice, tanks and mods won't be illegal and won't be confiscated. It will just get very expensive to vape as we are currently accustomed to and some things will be hard to find (tanks, coils, mods), some will be easy to find (VG/PG, cotton, wire) and some things may become impossible to find (NIC base).

Everyone is not going to be forced to smoke or use only BT vaping products. Just be expectd to pay a lot more if you didn't stock up before Aug.

It does not all go away in 2 months. That will be sometime during the next 3 years. Somewhat gradual till the first of next year the lots of exits and new state restrictions, etc.

Tell that to the people in the State of Utah, Indiana, etc. where it's happening sooner than that.

Ohhhhh I did read what you said & the 2 post below best say what I was thinking when I asked you why you thought folks would go back to traditional smoking or cigalikes if they don't prep.

As I replied to them -

If you don't think States are just going to leave it alone you're really got a rude awaking coming

And to if they don't go back to cigs or go to cigalikes, well more power to them. But I doubt many will just "quit".

Very similar, it looked like a 6oomah ego with a cord. :)

I have a couple Passthrough somewhere in the back of my Old Vape Drawer.

They Work for the Most Part. But they are kinda like using a Corded Mouse after you have used a Cordless one. And now that Batteries/Mods have pretty much All Day mah amounts, a Passthrough isn't needed so much anymore.

Not sure if it could Handle my .6 Ohm RTA? Might have to dig one out and See if it Does.

Well please don't try your computer as the power source. :unsure: :facepalm:
