Oh yes I will be happy :) All these fun things to try out and play with. I was using Cartos and clearo's so this is a whole new ball game for me, don't regret it one bit deeming or not :)
Same here. I'm buying older generation gear, but it's all new to me. I've been using 510 atties all these years. This new stuff will keep me busy (and hopefully happy) for a long time to come.

You folks know that these Chinese companies are going to continue making and selling hardware such as mods and atomizers no matter what happens here in the US ... all this stuff is always going to be available. I don't see a need to be stocking up on any of it (including batteries, cotton, wire, glycerin, etc)

On the other hand ... juice containing nicotine will be a problem. My suggestion is to learn how to DIY your own juice and then stockpile unflavored nicotine base (PG or VG) before it gets hard to find, and/or is taxed very heavily.

If you don't DIY juice, I would be stocking up on retail pre-made juice.

To a certain extent, what you've said is true, Flt Simulation. But as of August 8, 2016, the Deeming Regulation turns all vaping hardware into "tobacco products." Many states have laws prohibiting purchases of tobacco products via the internet. Also, many states have laws about B&M retailing tobacco products without special licenses (i.e., expensive), store locations, and such. And no one knows just when or how BATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms) will start seizing domestic or international shipments, or what Chinese manufacturers' reactions will be to having stuff snatched by the BATF.

You can choose to take your chances. Obviously, you have. Many of the rest of us have chosen to be prudent and stock up for many years (or a lifetime) of vaping supplies.

True, at this point I don't trust Fed or Local or state laws, I am stocking up!

And if they do slip the date or back off it for some reason or some way or another and progress continues for a few more years until it arises again... Will you be happy with the then antiquated gear you stocked up on??? :rolleyes: I know I will have no problem since I have been vaping on the same mod and toppers I bought 4.5 years ago (upgraded due to the deeming), but will most people have that view of gear and patience... o_O
Absolutely, yes!
That made me think and I like even the old gear I still have, I even have cig a like batts and I am one that likes to switch up from one thing to another. Nothing like using cig a like to get appreciation for a newer set up :)
I still have a whole bunch of 510 280 mah batteries and 808 stuff. It's fun to pull out and use for a while. If I really had to, that would be enough. But, only if I absolutely had to.

Nic, absolutely! Devices? I have plenty just in case. You never know when the FDA will start confiscating imported vape stuff like they've done before.

It's gorgeous! Maybe with all my disposable income after stocking up? Probably.

Dammit you made me look! :lol: I have the Monet acrylic heading my way. :p

On another note, does anyone else find the Fasttech July 4 sale code "FREEDOM" to be very ironic?

Oh you will love it!!! I liked that Monet too :) I just asked about another one same style as I got, but different color, so maybe getting another :) Yes the Freedom code is ironic for vape! I have a bunch of o rings in my cart and some replacement glass for the Merlin. Oh some pre made coils to get my feet wet too. Nothing big or costly. They have still not shipped my Nemesis, it is in holding pattern until the 12th, ordered it a couple weeks ago, what is up with that! LOL

I am a bit worried about this, but they really can't yet, can they? Or after 8-8-16?? I think I am done ordering from China on July 4th. I do still have stuff coming in from China tho, hope it arrives before D-date.

I just got my Nemesis from Hoosier. Actually nicer than I expected, with a display box and everything for only $10. Definitely in my prepper shelter. I'm tryingto order some more stuff from FT, but their site is all wonky and won't accept anything for payment other than Bitcoin or PayPal (except the tank I want can't be paid for with Payal). I'll have to keep checking in over the weekend and see if they get it sorted out.

I did add another liter of nic to the stash from Heartland, along with some flavorings, and made my one big addition, an Efusion Duo on sale from VapeNW with the 20% off coupon code. Not a bad haul for now, but I do hope I can get that FT order placed with a normal Visa payment as I've used for all my other orders from them.

I'm waiting on my Fasttech order until Monday. But if you have a CC linked to your PayPal account, couldn't you just use that as a payment method but through PayPal?

I have a Nemmy coming from Hoosier as well. Just couldn't resist it for the stash at that price.

I would, but it won't allow PayPal to be used for the tank I want (PayPal having issues with clones?)

If it's anything Aspire it will not be accepted with PayPal. Forgot the reason something about Aspire complaining about Fasttech or something of that nature.
