I don't even want to make my own coils for my everyday vaping. And I want to be able to buy what I want when I want--and because of another dooming deadline. This so wrong on so many levels. Don't those lawmakers have more pressing matters to attend to? Like the global pandemic, riots, unemployment, just for starters? I'm an adult. Why are they going after vaping again? For 10 years we've been fighting for our right to vape. I'm tired and dispirited.

All I ever wanted was to buy all I needed and to vape the same way I smoked, through convenient purchases.

DIY? If you'd have told me when I started vaping that I'd have to DIY all my own juice, build my own coils and stock up on all I needed for life when I started I likely would have said screw that, and never quit smoking.

But I didn't find out about all this fight with the FDA until I'd been vaping more than a year. Shows you how much I pay attention... lol

I had to fight my husband tooth and nail to DIY our e-juice, he didn't want me to handle nicotine other than to put commercially made ejuice into a tank..

This whole thing for me has been a crash course in vaping self sufficiency brought to me by the FDA...

But you know... it also brought me many gifts I wouldn't have otherwise have had, and that includes vaping self sufficiency and total economic independence... I'll likely need very little again, so it's a blessing in disguise.

Hopefully in time, more good will come out of this from the FDA side, but at least we won't be at their mercy while they figure stuff out.

Don't feel too dejected... or too tired. Consider this a small break in the fight, and rest. We'll make it through this together..

@Katya, the tea juice is a winner. I am enjoying a very excellent Pomegranate Black Tea w/cream vape this morning. It is a super refreshing vape. I love it and you for sharing. (((Hugs))), thank you. Earlier I whipped up a big batch! :D

I have a couple more going. One with FA Rose and another with FLV Sugar Orchid. Still need to make some with other fruits. Ordered FLV Eisai tea and FLV Green Tea. The only white tea I can find is Vape Train's ??? :)

Morning SMT. The pomegranate sounds nice but finding it difficult to see the refreshing side to it with tea and cream.....have you got some W-23 or whatever it's called, in it?

Mark Todd and Vaping with Vic have solid reviews on the Cthulhu Hastur 88W mod. I love the minimalist look. It's kind of like the old Zen mod.
Cthulhu-Hastur-88W-TC-MOD_10_b6152d.jpg

It's a single 18650 mod. Made with 304SS and aviation aluminum. It uses Cthulhu's Atom chip. Color OLED. Wattage, TC (SS, NI, TI, TCR) + bypass. 85% efficiency. Very simple UI.

Specs.

That sounds pretty good. Is that listed on the blog?

Good morning Charlie. :D Sorry, I meant it's a "new and refreshing" vape for me.

You don't put cream in your drinkable tea? I don't, but that is what Kat's recipe called for. It is really good. I can see where adding a touch of WS-23 would add that summer refreshing element I think you are alluding to. I do have WS-23 and will try that in my next go.

It's a fabulous idea. Thank you! :wub:

This is what I have going...
FA Black Tea 2%
FA Vienna Cream 0.5%
FA Pomegranate 0.5%
FLV Cream 0.25%

Because I decided to stay in my MTL lane. I'm happy with my Zlides. I need a few more RTAs just in case. I don't even want to make my own coils for my everyday vaping. And I want to be able to buy what I want when I want--and because of another dooming deadline. This so wrong on so many levels. Don't those lawmakers have more pressing matters to attend to? Like the global pandemic, riots, unemployment, just for starters? I'm an adult. Why are they going after vaping again? For 10 years we've been fighting for our right to vape.

:lol: You'll have to talk to SMT about how to train your stubborn rottie. I don't think that having a conversation with a rottie, in any language, is going to achieve much. :D

You're so sweet! Thanks for your offer. I want to try those more MTL atties first. I have great hopes for the Dvarws and the Tripod. :nun:
I think my af need is just a smidge looser than you. For example, 4 ml zlide is good, 2 ml zlide is almost too tight. If you can’t find an older rta, I can dig in the stash if you want. I know I stuck some almost loose enough af ones in there just in case I run out of ones I love (really unlikely lol). They’re mostly from the last 2-3 years.

:wub: I know. And I appreciate the pep talk--I needed one. It was late at night, the bloody Cloud lost 3 hours of my hard work (don't ask), and I was in a bad mood. :lol:

You're right. But when I think what could have been. So many great inventors, innovation, and talent wiped out by a mere threat of PMTAs. ProVape, Reo's Mods, Evolv. Great local vendors who cared about their customers and about vaping (Nhaler, IkenVape, Cignot)--all gone.

In the meantime, the rest of the world is thriving and developing new technologies. Great mods--S. Korea, China; great RBAs--Russia, Germany, France, Hungary, Poland, Croatia. Best nicotine--Chemnovatic from Poland and CNT from Switzerland. Our businesses are shutting down and vapers are panic buying craploads of god knows what from Shenzhen and praying that their packages arrive on time...

Now I'm done.

Carry on.

My white tea is from Flavor West:
White Tea (FW)

My favorite green is TFA Green Tea, but I haven't tried many others--I was happy with the TFA and stopped searching.
