    This is worrisome from our neighboring State
    VERMONT: (UPDATE) Sad day for tobacco harm reduction in state. Governor signs bills denying adults 18-20 access to safer alternatives to smoking and makes it harder for rural adults to get products by banning online sales. A 92% tax is also on his desk.

    Yeah, a friend of mine who lives in Vermont was talking to me about this a while back. Knowing nothing of vaping, she was all for it. She is something of an idiot.
    I'd have to agree

    A fairly draconian law is being considered in Maine right now. And, as I just posted in the shinyitis thread, today I ordered eight 125ml bottles of Nude Armour v1. That, in addition to what's already in my freezer, should be enough to see me out.

    Switching from store bought Nic salts to my much better DIY nic salts has been a huge success in other ways, besides the flavor and savings department. Store bought salts are typically 70% VG, which I've found to gunk up my coils much faster. My juices are 60%+ PG which has seemed to vastly improve my coil and wick life. I've found I'm changing wicks mostly due to flavor changes, and not gunked up coils.

    Yes,I believe I have enough nic also. I really depend on my carto supply and I'm well set there (something like 2 lifetime supplies...LOL).I have 2 Zenith and will be getting a Zlide when I get my last car payment. Given the length of time the coils last I believe I have plenty. I love my egoOne tanks also and the coils can be rewicked a million times.Easy enough to recoil when needed so I have a lifetime supply of those also.For my Kanger subtanks I have 5-6 RBA's and 6 boxes of coils bought a long time ago.I have sevral other tanks. I suppose I should take a good look at what I have sometime soon.

    Somewhere between here and there
    Makes me kind of worried about having all I need but I'm in pretty good shape I think.:)

    If you ever have a problem, you can ship to me and I’ll forward it to you.

    What mg of nicotine do you vape? I vape 3 mgs but my next batch of base will be 1.5.

    This is because my doctor told me I have Long QT Syndrome. Nicotine, caffeine - any stimulus can cause Sudden Death :shock: Also getting too hyped up or startled - I mean really???? I startle at just about everything. My fight or flight hormones are always in full gear. It sux lol!!

    So I’m thinking the 5 liters now will double what I had calculated so unless the allow vaping in the nursing homes by then I should be ok :lol: !!

    Is that online sales of e-liquids or online sales of mods and tanks too? Seems that would be hard to pull off. Also, online sale of nicotine, PG, VG, and flavors will be impossible to ban since there are so many uses for those items that have nothing to do with vaping. IDK These states are losing perspective and need remedial education. JMHO

    I'm at around 9mgs/ml. I find it hard to believe I won't drop that as I get older, because my body will gradually be able to tolerate less and less stimulation, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

    Not so hard to pull off when vendors start refusing to ship to your State.

    Can you please elaborate on the part of nicotine being impossible to ban? How else is nicotine used outside of vaping? This confuses me because of the stockpiling of nicotine that vapers are doing. Thanks.

    It’s used as a pesticide. But, the nic that’s produced for agriculture, to my knowledge, isn’t suitable for vaping. There are probably other uses I’m not aware of. Stockpiling nic guarantees vape quality at a price we can actually afford. If things go South, and we’re still able to buy any, who knows what the cost will be, or even if what’s available is safe for vaping. :2c:
    Pg, vg, and flavors I can’t see them being able to ban. In a pinch now, I can go with my daughter to the bakery supply house and get a fair number of flavors (not as cheap as we can order)

    Thanks for educating me. I agree on the PG, VG and flavors.
