Is this what is happening from all sellers of liquid nicotine concentrate?

Sooner or later, most likely. Not everyone has issued an official statement yet, but that's what I'm expecting to happen. Person-to-person sales will still be available from some vendors, like LiquidBarn, at least for a while...

    I'm done. My last batch of nic from NN is on its way to me--shouldn't be long--1hr drive. :)

    I still have two orders from China pending--Sceptre coils from HC (in transit) and my Kroma Z from sourcemore (hopefully they will ship soon)... And I have $12 gift certificate at FT. I'll order some stuff later--maybe more drip tips, bottles, other non-vaping stuff. I'm done.

    I have more stuff than I'll ever need. But better safe. I feel well prepared and yet very sad at the same time.

    Having a great day! My (other) nephew, his wife and 3 year old daughter came to visit. That kid is so sweet and my nephew (unlike his ...... bother that lives here) and his wife are doctors and great people. They just left on their way to visit her parents. We all had a good time. Might actually get some builds done this week-end.

    Sure puffon, here you go

    Cannoli Be One (Final) by Voodoo

    Cinnamon Danish Swirl CAP .60%
    Cream Cheese Icing LA .25%
    Cream Fresh FA 1%
    Funnel Cake CAP .5%
    NY Cheesecake CAP 3%
    Pie Crust TFA .25%
    Shisha Vanilla INW .5%
    Sugar Cookie v1 CAP 3%
    Super Sweet CAP .8%
    Vanilla Custard CAP 3.5%
    Vienna Cream FA 2.5%

    If you don't have Pie Crust TFA do not use Pie Crust FW. The FW version is very yeasty tasting. A better sub would be Apple Pie FA, which is a flaky pie crust flavor that imparts no apple notes whatsoever.

    If you sub apple pie FA up the percentage to .60%

    ETA: It starts becoming vapable around the 10 day mark, and of course gets better as it ages. One tip-- like the original as it sits for a long time the flavor becomes very linear and not as good as it was fresh. I make it in 60ml batches, but I do vape a lot of liquid. Adjust to the amount you vape... If you vape mtl it may be best to make in 20 to 30ml batches.
    Thanks, appreciate it!...:thumbs:

    I have more stuff than I'll ever need. But better safe. I feel well prepared and yet very sad at the same time.

    Looking back I could divide my time into 3 phases. First was buying lots of stuff hoping I could get stocked up before it was too late. Second was having enough but still buying more when it came up really cheap. Third was not buying stuff any more, but still worrying that there might be something I hadn't thought of.

    Luckily for me I had 5 years to stock up and enough time to experiment and figure out what worked best for me. Haven't bought anything for over a year except for some indulgences like a couple of BB's.

    Now it's finally happened. I do feel a bit sad but in a way it's a relief. I feel bad for the people who didn't have enough time to stock up or figure out what worked best for them, or people who might have started vaping in the future but can't. Stuck with cigs or HNB or whatever overpriced pods the tobacco barons bribe the politicians to allow through.

    My only regret is I didn't get to try a bigger variety of gear because I was too preoccupied with stocking up. All my tanks are KFL, Lemo, and STM. I liked them and over time they were going for pennies so I picked up a bunch. Hard to pass on KFLs and Lemos at $5.

    I'm the exact opposite. :lol: I used to buy my vaping stuff in smallest possible quantities, hoping and knowing that the technology will keep improving. I never stockpiled--ever. Until late last year. I'm happy I waited to the last minute to start getting multiples because I'm now stockpiling the latest and, IMHO, best. At least for me. Good 510 mods, Innokin Z and Sceptre line, etc.

    My older stuff, mods and RTAs--still have plenty of that--is all singles. One of each. And 5 boxes each of old cartos, GS, and CLR coils. :facepalm:

    But I still feel very sad that the further improvements of vaping technology may be out of our reach in the future.

    Initially, I bought bought bought because I wanted what everyone was talking about. And then I settled into a place where I knew what I liked and did not have to have something just because. I am just so over the whole mod and tank and changing batteries all the time. Being slightly embarrassed at all the gear I schelp around with, when I am with friends that are not vapers. I do not want to tinker anymore, change coils, dry burn coils or wick things. I do not want to have tweezers and cotton and small scissors everywhere anymore. I just want simple.

    The stm is great! Did you get yourself some of the rba bases for your stm? The Lemo is nice, because you can rebuild directly on it and I personally thought it had good taste. I have never had a kfl, but I remember years ago when I was on the forum heavy, a lot of people loved them! Honestly, I love my stm, Kanger top fill, and ares 2 tanks. Of course I am like you I wonder what is out there currently made that I may never get to try. I personally would like to try a pod system one day, because I think they would come in handy when I am doing outside chores. I think some of them can be rebuilt as well! Which I think is exciting! Lol A part of me (the part that is hopeful when things get tough :) ) hopes that things will not be like this forever :)

    I never even tried the coils that came with the STM's. Just started using the RBA and never looked back.

    Yeah, I get tired of all the fuss too sometimes. I've thought about trying pods. It feels like another rabbit hole though.

    I recall someone(s) expressing concern about Health Cabin.
    My latest order from them went as follows:
    ordered on 2/17; they shipped it on 2/18; departed Shenzhen on 2/20; arrived in Hong Kong same day; arrived at JFK on 2/21 and cleared customs same day (!!); arrived in Avenel NJ on 2/24 (no idea where that is, but NJ is a tiny state and so must have been someone walking from JFK to take that long LOL); arrived in Westborough MA on 2/25; where it sat (or something) for five days.
    But, it was on my front porch this morning. I'm not complaining at all about this sort of weird journey. I'm very happy with HC, and honestly do thank them for
    Sure thing.
    I have 10 Dvarw clones, 4 Ares 2s, 2 Hellvape MDs, 3 2016 Doggystyles, 1 MTL Brunhilde (with 2 on the way), 1 Silverplay RTA, and a few random ones I am forgetting at the moment.

    For mods, I have 5 or 6 Aegis Solos, an Aegis Max, 4 or 5 Asmodus Colossals, a Voopoo Drag, a Voopoo Drag Plus X, a few Swag IIs, and a Vaporesso Forz. Also a Tarot Nano and a Vaporesso Polar. Plus a few other random ones.
    Thanks.
    I'm thinking I should have one or maybe two more mods with a replaceable battery. I have enough mods with built in batts.
    So, for you and any others who want to chime in, what are your favorites.
