On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

[Vandal]

I find it embarrassing and disgusting that such a small percentage of the funds went towards prevention. Less than 500M out of 130B. What a joke.

Some of the ways that some of the states have been spending their tobacco settlement funds...

Transform Tobacco - Where Does the Money Go

Tobacco Settlement Funds Sprinklers, Golf Carts and a Grease Trap

And I believe the tobacco growing states are financially assisting tobacco growers with these funds.

I do not think progress in vaping hardware will disappear. US is not the only market for e-cigs, and Chinese will continue development. And I still hope that there will be no prohibition in US, just higher taxation and, may be, prohibition of online sales (hope Chinese will continue to sell to US anyway).

Since I travel internationally (Asia, etc) - I kind of wonder if we will be allowed to bring them back through customs...

If it all happened 2 years ago ... I would only stockpile ProVaris and Kayfuns.
Fast forward 2 years ... I would still be stocking the exact same ProVaris and Kayfuns.
Once you find safe and reliable that fits exactly to your needs ... stockpile it.
I've actually enjoyed reading about people now stockpiling the way I did 2 years ago.

Exactly. 2 years ago I had a stable of ProVaris & Kayfuns because that suited me then.
I wasn't satisfied but it was dependable and a good vape.
I've been using 70-80W on multi-battery mods for almost a year now and that's my happy place.
3 Boxer Mods, 2 Renegade X, a few IPV's & 8 or so RX200's
I still have about a half dozen ProVaris I can use if all those .... the bed someday.
I won't be satisfied but I will still be able to get a decent vape
I found my happy place pre-8/8/16

Just thought...
Got nic, mods, rta's, rda's and mechs but
I only have the 510 connectors on my various mods
Have ppl also bought 510 connectors on their own, like the fat daddy vapes ones and stuff?

I was wondering about that as well.

I love my kbox mini, but I bought a couple old school zmax and I like those as well. I'm waiting for the kbox mini to really drop down and I will grab a couple of them too. Tennessee has it's head on straight, no ban of any kind of buying tobacco products online and they have cheap as hell cigarette taxes. Compared to illinois they are practically giving them away for free. Our state also has a surplus, so I am going to keep stocking after the 8/8 date. And take advantage of cheaper products. That is the only happy thing I am taking out of all this. I really don't want these fda murderers to win. It is a nightmare we have yet to wake up to.

Isn't that where Molehill is? Or am I wrong? Maybe I need to go on and get that last one I wanted.....

Yes they are in NM. I have one last custom order in before 8-8 from them. I have no idea when things will get bad in NM.

I'm in the UK and it seems to be a super slow transition which is good obviously. I think it will be little by little.

I feel bad for the ones who may miss out but... I feel bad for lots of things. Not being able to have a vape is just another one. I'll just have to make sure that I'm alright now.

Sounds bad I know but I guess there's only so much you can say and ask. I'll obviously verbally defend and promote vaping and I'll still sign when needed...

I guess the only upshot is we'll be some of the lucky few.


Vape on

Hey @Vandal
I think the FD vapes 510 connector will be cool for most mods.
Some drilling and/or awkward fitting may be the result.

The cool looking mechs maybe a little problem.
If it's that important you'll have to buy spares specific to the mod.

Yup. 510 connectors and also 510 adapters. A couple 510 to Ego thrown in just in case!

Excellent point. I hope you kept your receipts.

You could also build (or have someone build for you) a mod from pieces and parts, old and new, if it came down to it.

Has anyone had any problems with the painted Kanger STMs & Suboxes -- Black, White, Red & Blue -- chipping and looking bad after a while? I've heard about problems with the white painted ones. Did Kanger upgrade the product and fix that problem? If not, has anyone had any luck using the mod and tank wraps or decals for them to cover the chipping paint?

I like the way you think!! I hope there will be a way for people with those skills & the desire to make mods for vapers to make themselves known to us!!

Just google Altoids Box Mod! That's only the tip of the iceberg. Where there's a will there's a way.

I have a subox in White. It had a hairline crack the day I got it.
It came on the slow boat from China and was cheap so I'm not that worried. Got its own little space in my box.

BTW I think it's easy for guys with the know how. I mentioned to a machinist friend of mine. No problem he said.
Maybe you know someone good with wood???
I'd have the 510 and battery sled ready for him though.

I bought the connectors that replace a bad connector on a mod, I have one GLV with a wonky connector that needs replaced. I also bought 510 to 510 adapters to save your connections from wear. I also have 808 and ego adapters so I can use whatever on every mod.

 

[Zutankhamun]

Good tips, just hate how the 510-510 connectors look. They make my kayfun and future squape look ridiculously long.

@bnrkwest
BTW thanks for the tips on the bottom of your posts
Now I always go for 4 seconds way from my face first.
Only with mechs though, never with the regs

I don't know, just live on the edge I guess.
