Maybe it was Hit who initially told me about Stixx. Can’t remember.

Anyway, i got a hold of Ty (the owner). He said he has four year old tobacco extracts that are better than when he made them. He just keeps them out at room temperature. Freezing can likely add more years. So this is good news.

    You can keep a good supply then.

    Even with the 20% coupon, that still makes it $68 per liter. To me that's high. I like MFS nic and have a few liters of it on hand but never paid that much for it. To me, their nic isn't premium and heartland sells good nic that I also use for $45 every day. I don't know why MFS decided to raise their nic prices but they have priced themselves out for me. I've heard other people complain about their price increase on nic. I'm sure they are losing out on a fair amount of business. I don't know the situation so maybe their cost went up or something. Some people were blaming greed with the bans going on but I'm pretty sure their price went up before the ban thing.

    I've not been on their site, but saw someone post they put their price up after MI ban was announced and people started grabbing nic, so yes I would blame greed, especially as they are the only ones who have raised their prices by A LOT.

    Indeed. I’ve sampled three of the six extracts so far from Pop’s stash. All three have potential. The Stixx Mixx is another option.

    I think it is interesting that HHV is donating 100% of net proceeds on 10/7 and vapordna is donating 1%.
    They’ve always been good about donating money to the cause.

    Sad if a vape store is taking advantage of vapors to make more money over what is happening, pretty low, I've used them a lot over the years, but sure put me off using them in the future.

    I had a rather naive view of vape shops for a long time thinking they were in the business for reasons beyond just money. I’ve learned I’m wrong. Some are, many are not.

    I agree, a lot are doing to help people and is their passion, MFS just seems fishy on how much they raised the price and the timing too, when no one else has.

    I didn't realize that the two have the same nomenclature. I can see how people who fill orders could get it wrong. The links below are from https://www.18650batterystore.com

    SONY VTC6A 18650 3000mAh 20A Battery - 18650 Battery ...
    Sony | Murata VTC6A 21700 4000mAh 30A Battery ...
    Yes I didn't realize that they make both sizes as vtc6a until I looked today (after I made the grumpy post lol), but the ones I ordered and what is stated on invoice is 21700 size. I said the same to customer service in an email, that I could understand the simple mistake.

    Grr mrg grump....
    Just got a 300$ package from Element Vape. Has my SXmini SL Class mod in it. And was supposed to have 5 vtc6A cells in it, which are 21700s, but had 5 vtc6 (no A) 18650 size cells instead. Very disappointed. I'm sure they will promptly make it right but that will involve shipping the wrong ones back and waiting...
    Making things worse, it was brought to my house yesterday, but required a signature (first time) and was not delivered. So I went out of my way and went to post office twice today since they were kind enough to be closed for lunch the first time I went... I am not a patient person.
    I hope they just let you keep the batteries they sent in error.
