Debadoo the way I have been reducing my nicotine, I went from 24 to 20, then did that for 2 months, I just started doing the 16, and I will stay there for another 2 or 3 months before trying the 12, that is another reason I like DIY, I could even try a drop of 2MG if I wanted to, taking it down to 14. :)

KAS

Yeah, once I actually get to where I can do some mixing, I plan to try some around 21, right now I'm trying to mix some 24mg juice and some 18 when I think about it. Sometimes I forget and vape some 18 for awhile then some 24 lol I need to better at remembering to mix them.

I wouldn't have a problem if I never went below 24, except for not being able to afford to stock up on enough nic! lol

I really had to struggle to afford buying all that nicotine, but it will last me a long time, and the proposed tax of $0.08 per MG would have made it unaffordable. After I ordered it all, I found out that the new law, will make DIY a criminal act.:glare:

that's insane!! I've ranted about what Tx is proposing, but I do know and often say that I realize it's very little compared to what a lot of states are doing. I just don't know how businesses are gonna be able to know what they can send to which states if these things pass. Wanna move to Texas???? heck we'll get a buncha bubbas together, and get some folks's heart right about these laws......and become the vape state!!! lol Even Tx aint what it used to be. Years ago when they started trying to put up those cameras that would take a picture of ya when you were speeding and send you a ticket......people found out where they were and went and blew em up!! lol Not that I condone that exactly......but we used to say oh no, you aint doin that in our state! and it had some weight to it.

Our government has started proposing ridiculous bills up here too, that seem very much on the same lines as those in the US. I never thought I would see the day that we would have to break the law to save our own lives.

That said, His Highness and I have dropped from 18 to 2mg in a little over 2 years and plan to go to zero by fall. I do have a litre stored in glass in my freezer but I'm hoping we'll never need it. Any of my attempts at DIY have been abysmal failures, but might just end up tasting great when it's the only juice in town! :laugh:

I am still waiting on more info, about if the new law has passed, or not but it looks like it will, it will most likely shut down all the vape shops in Indiana, I don't know if they will stop shipments to Indiana or not. :(

I didn't read the bill......but saw a thread the other day that said Canada's parliament had passed something.

There are quite a few vendors that sell the concentrate of their premixed Eliquid. That we you don't need a recipe you just add 15% to your own nic/PG/VG
My mentholeucalyptus is like that. I found it in my first week of vaping and I have been buying the concentrate ever since. 3.5years. Mine come from the UK but the US vendors are doing the same. Another of my eliquids is capella Coolmint same deal just add 15% to nic mix and I am done.

It doesn't have to be an original recipe. I have played with what seems like a million versions of a mint and never quite got it. I should just give up. :)

THANKS "Everyone" for the information and links . . . I'm gonna have to think about this some more before I do anything, especially since i do not have any room for storing the "Stuff" and I am not really sure I want to have that much Nicotine just out in the open or that would have to be rebottled too . . . :facepalm:

Agreed with all, AR. No need to apologize/apologise! :D

And J5 said it best. We all have our days. Except for me - I never get cranky. :facepalm:

Can you BELIEVE that ECF might interrupt BB Stalking Saturday here? The NERVE... :?:


Hahahahhaahhahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!




The one I have problems with is The Ausipad.

The-Aus-iPad_zps83ke2sjy.jpg


That's fab, Stud! Krisma, you have one of those, yes?


All the talk of nic stocking made me sigh. I have a slew of it in the freezer as well, but it's for "insurance". I'm truly hoping that as a community of such POWERFUL numbers, we will in fact find our path to continued freedom from smoking.

I'll go "criminal" if need be. Uh huh.

Yup, the bill has passed :( but it could take as much as a year for any regs to be actually written and it looks like our Canadian Vaping Association may have some input, which is a very good thing.

Plus, that bill was provincial not federal, and not all provinces move at the same pace. It looks like Ontario is next. :(

We're up against an immovable object, MONEY. Stand back and look at all these bills. Who's the big winners? Tobacco and government. After it's all said and done many will go back to smoking because it will be cheaper. The only ones that aren't being punished is again tobacco. You can still buy the devices they make. Plus when you're buying either, tobacco or vuse and pvs like that the government gets the taxes they're going to levy. So tobacco and government are both behind all this. Oh sure they're using research that was probably funded by tobacco to get all this done. I'm also sure a few yrs. from now someone will turn over evidence that shows big tobacco was paying them under the table. I figured something like this was going to happen about 5 yrs ago when I saw all the money both were losing because of vaping. Just remember all this next time you vote for someone and vote for the person that will change all this bs not because they're republican or democrat.

+ a bazillion, Stud. Tiz wise to think of relinquishing one's party.

Zactly Stud........this explains a lot of quite well and it's short.



Great and well done. I guess I'm not the only one that believes it. But come election day everyone will be saying I'm not voting republican or I'm not voting democrat instead of saying I'm voting for him or her because of their principals and record and we'll just have a continuation of the same.
