    It would appear I have avoided that. And it does make one wonder if other flavor joints will vanish.
    Cap,TFA,Fa and some others have been around a very long time and I don't think they're going anywhere.

    I think we may lose some our our vendors, but the flavors will still be around. Just need to find new sources, as the vendors who are vape specific may not be able to re-tool...

    Yes, I realize we are most likely to lose most of our vendors if this goes the worse way. Fortunately, I saw this coming long ago. I actually have a lifetime supply of 801 fusion cartos from Ikenvape (my favorite) plus a few others also from Ikenvape. I was able to add to my supply of z coils so I'm set there. Thanks to @NotSoMini I have a lifetime supply of nauti coils that I'm enjoying in my Nauti AIO she also sent and I have a second nauti AIO coming from @NolaMel in pretty purple. I do also have 2 nauti minis that I bought long ago. I feel safe with my supply of tanks. Of course, I do have back-up of wire, cotton, rayon,pre-built coils and more than enough RBA tanks. I think I'm well set but not saying it isn't nice to have something new now and then. Especially when we might not be able to do that much longer.

    Somewhere between here and there
    I'm at the point that I'm not worried about having enough mods, tanks, or nic for myself but worry for the folks that don't know to stock up that will be left out in the cold if things go really bad. At this point I'm just buying stuff for fun. Speaking of which, I got a second Tesla punk 86w in the mail yesterday. Sometimes I miss the old days of tube mods.

    @FranC , I don't know if you're interested or not but eightvape has the podsticks on sale for 4.99. I grabbed two more and honey took off $5 so I got both shipped for around $12

    Agree. And what also concerns me is those who did not prepare will be mooching off those who did. I purchased enough supplies for my own needs, not others. I'm happy to help out friends but I can't save the world.

    That's very true. I've given my wife a couple of pv's trying to get her off the cigs but she hasn't taken to them. My only concern would be if she decided to start vaping full time then I'd probably need more nic on hand. I know I've got plenty of hardware.

    Yeah, that's a tough call. Boils down to the total cost of getting her prepared and if you're willing to chalk it up as a loss if she never switches. How devastating would that be versus not preparing her and then she ultimately depletes your supplies prematurely. IMO, the latter would be more devastating but each of us are understandably different.

    I prepared as best I could. I've told some friends about what's going on and some of them consider this a ploy from vape shops to get us to purchase more product. (insert facepalm). I know, I am embarrassed for them. If things do go extremely terrible for us I figure they'll be the first ones calling to see if I can spare anything.

    I was a DL vaper primarily the whole 5 years I have vaped. I have all kinds of 200 watt DNA devices, and various others that I no longer use now that I mtl vape. I can use them, it's just I prefer the smaller devices I have that can handle the massive 9-11 watts I vape at now. I use the old style Kayfun V4's with the airflow wide open, and I curse this tank daily for the grief it gives me when cleaning, but I love the vape it gives. I hope the 3 I have will be enough to get me through till the end game.

    Speaking of which, @Bronze I know you were into the Kayfun v4's when they came out. Do you know of any RTA that gives that same flavor and vape?

    I plan on doing some mixing today. I just got my BCF order in so I plan on mixing up some LMP and a few other recipes I want to test.

    I am vaping that cream base recipe I found that's suppose to be the one Oneshots uses. It's good at 3 weeks. Due to the ingredients I pretty sure it needs to steep another 3 weeks to show how it ends up. But I like it.

    Skeeb, I never got the V4. I saw no advantage to it so I never got one. Had the original KFL and every Kayfun after the V4 but skipped that one. In fact, I pretty much shut down buying any RTAs after the Kayfuns came out. Got a Genny and some RDAs but Kayfuns stole my heart and I saw no reason to go with anyone else. I think it was the right choice as most atties still compare themselves to Kayfuns. That said, all the Kayfuns rock. The Kayfun Mini V3 came out after the V4. Fantatsic MTL vape. The V5 came out after the KFM3. It was designed to be all things to all people (DTL and MTL). Some did not like that and thought the V5 was a betrayal to MTLers. I disagree. The V5 is most definitely a DTL atty. However, there is an MTL kit you could get with the V5 which were nothing more than air restrictors you shoved in the deck air hole. That did the trick and converted the V5 from DTL to MTL. The V5 is a larger tank like the original KFLs. If you want the V5 to be MTL, then the MTL kit is mandatory. After the V5 came the Prime. What a great atty! The other Kayfuns are arguably as good as the Prime but IMO nothing is better. Just a great flavor, smooth, MTL vape. After the Prime came the Kayfun Lite 2019 Version (nKFL) in both 22mm and 24 mm. Again, a fantastic MTL vape. The KFM3, Prime, and KFL19 are all 2mm capacity (though the 24mm KFL19 is 3.5ish and you can get longmode kits for them as well). All of them deliver a very solid vape and I'd have trouble picking one over the other in terms of flavor and performance. What it boils down to is your style. Top fill (KFM3 and Prime), airflow (internal versus external), compactness. All are small but the KFL19 is thee smallest. Love it for the size. But it is internal airflow adjustment and bottom fill. Got to give to get.

    Thanks Bronze! I'm going to look into the Prime and KFL19, I appreciate the help.

    Thanks, good price but I think 2 podsticks is enough.

    So,random folks. Have you any plans today? I have plans to get my .... in gear and get some mixing done. I’m more of a morning person than anything as far as getting anything done. The more the day goes on the less I feel like it.
    I’m trying to get motivated to do something more fun than housework. We have a cocktail reception tonight which requires three of my very least favorite things.... lots of people (who Himself will know, but I don’t mostly), a cocktail dress (the worst clothing option ever... I own exactly one dress, which I bought for my daughters wedding. So, easy/only choice), and pantyhose (super worst). Maybe mixing will distract me. Right now, I’m just working myself into a panic attack thinking about going tonight.

    Wanted to make sure you didn't get too fond of any rf flavors.
    I thought a Canadian company bought out/was going to carry the line?

    edit... @Terri McVeety beat me to it lol. My understanding is they’ll be adding to the flavors offered in time, as they’re producing it themselves.

    In a nutshell...

    Prime: Top fill, external airflow setting, small, 2ml capacity
    KFL19: Bottom fill, internal airflow, very compact (smaller than the Prime), comes in 22mm (2ml capacity) and 24mm (3.5ml capacity), longmode kit available that increases capacity of both.

    Vape Performance: Tie

    They both have their place.
