The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

[mightymen]

Were you replacing just the 4 year of PG or do you replace you Nic around the 4 year mark too?

I stocked up during the last scare 2015-2016 out of need. Then it all went away for years and now its back. This was my first attempt at long storage. Like everyone else I wouldn't be stocking up now accept for the rules coming down the pike.

It so happened that all my supplies lasted until now. Still have my five major flavor concentrate left that am using still. Menthol 120ml, Ry4 Double 600 ml, Vanillin 30ml, Commercial tobacco 64 ml and candy cotton 120 ml.

Not worried with concentrates I make my own from tea's with some PG or VG. Same with tobacco. Just the concentrates make it easier and less messy.\

The only thing am concerned with is the Nic IMO: think like last time there was a run on it. Might even be hard to get one day years from today. Going to be a big demand all these vaping supply shops that sell Nic will be gone and when that happens the price will go sky high.

I have a vaping friend that only buys from her local vape shop. I keep reminding her about the likely upcoming vapeapocalypse. I tell her about really fantastic online sales and encourage her to at least get a few backups, in addition to some nicotine for her freezer. Even just a little. Her shop downplays any urgency. She's going to be caught in all this and I know will go back to smoking. It's frustrating that I seem to care more that she's prepared than she does. I need to give up. It doesn't work if she isn't taking this seriously.

Some time in the future, late in the evening, expect a call... Don't answer - she wants some of your stuff, she is the grasshopper.

I know what you mean Horselady. A couple new people at work I spoke to, had no clue, none at all. I'm careful not to come across as a conspiracy freak either. But they didn't have a clue about this forum, or any idea of the upcoming regs or even that the fda was interfering. Local shops here have nothing posted or even talk about it, for fear of scaring new customers I suppose. It's the lack of curiosity that floors me. Weren't we all excited and wanting to learn all about vaping when we started? Didn't we want to know what was going on in the vape world? All I can do is bring the issue up, the rest is up to them.

Nic is the thing. Without it all the mods and rta etc are just useless bits of stuff I would never use.

I hear ya. Makes me nervous as heck. I need to wait about 2 more months until it's cool enough. I'll be all calm when I have it in hand and placed in my freezer. Then they can bring it on! I am a dumbass for not ordering it earlier.

I was about to hit the agree button, then I read your last line
You're no dumbass but I agree with the rest.

Nic will be available though I think of it this way. What once flowed through a very big pipe line that was able to handle all the requests. More than likely will be forced through a very small pipe line.

Was already writing the above post . . . Oh WELL - I guess ya already answered My questions . . .

Sorry! I only had @Katdarling and @DPLongo22 's addresses when I redid my will. So they got put in it. I feel sorry for my wife (shipping cost) and those two going thru the boxes. Payback....

Hell, my own wife looks at me like I am wearing a tinfoil hat when I talk about this stuff. But then she knows the size of my stash.

Just like audio equipment, bicycles and drivetrains. She likes the music, rides the bikes, drives the car and vapes happily. Her eyes roll back in her head if I want to talk about the details.

What is sad is that one day ALOT of vapers will come to the shocking realization that online retailers and local shops are disappearing (I hope some miracle changes that, but don't have alot of hope it will).....and that they didn't have a clue....but those are the kind that never had enough curiosity to search out forums like this or other info. And at least we all on ECF have this great forum and support system to keep us informed and connected.

I was one of the clueless masses for a long time. Not sure why. I messed around with cigalikes for 4 years or so and had no idea there was a vaping universe out there. I think I found ECF when I was looking for a new supplier of cigalikes after my regular one increased their prices.

If the FDA stuff had started happening back then I might have had no idea.

I am glad the husband does not know the extent of my stash... I mean....

IDK maybe he's ignoring it. I keep it (most of it) in my dressing abode. It's getting A BIT tough to like, conceal everything.

Then there are more flavors.

I have coils just coming steadily every month. Maybe at some point I will jump on a huge sale but I HATE buying drop in coils even though I ASSUREDLY never want to give up my nautilus coils OR my zenith ones. I have kind of shied away from any like, you know, um other systems. Oh other than the CLR but they practically ARE rebuildable.

If anyone's getting into pods now I think you are kind of nuts, at least unless you want to like , buy a lifetime supply of pods or you are a rebuilding MASTER. IDK. And I mean it seems to me Pods BREAK. Yeah, mods break but it seems like someone is talking about their newly broken pod every 15 minutes. I don't get stockpiling those.

I won a pod recently it looks pretty cool but I'm scared to vape it.

My RTA stash is a bit out of control. I could probably NEVER buy a single other one, and still have enough "new" to play with for the rest of my life. They're just so dang.... Inviting. And cheap. Etc.

OMG not to MENTION my doggies. Remember how my first one was possessed and I had to be GENTLY coaxed by the doggy folks to Try Again? Now, I think they're like BREEDING and whatnot and they're all over the house. Literally.

I love ECF!

More nic in a couple months! Dead radius will go to Bill in Late September! Thank GOD I don't have to find my adaptor for my kabuki.

Hey, thanks folks for the tip on VapeNW, that TAYLOR15 code did indeed work. Picked up an original Kanger Kbox, an Aromamizer V2 and a Wotofo Conqueror all for $21 bucks with that code! WooHOO! All old favorites of mine, and great for the upcoming lean times ahead. Preppers, that's what we've become. What is sad is that one day ALOT of vapers will come to the shocking realization that online retailers and local shops are disappearing (I hope some miracle changes that, but don't have alot of hope it will).....and that they didn't have a clue....but those are the kind that never had enough curiosity to search out forums like this or other info. And at least we all on ECF have this great forum and support system to keep us informed and connected. Alot of you I consider good friends, even tho I don't comment or post much.....I read this forum multiple times daily and get a big kick out of some of the posters comments. Again, thanks folks!

Well I just piggy backed off you and ordered one of those Wotofo Conquerers, those look nice. I’ve been looking for a good tank so hopefully it vapes nicely. I also ordered the last Infinite Cartel brass mech mod they had for $9. I looked up the reviews and it looks like a pretty solid clone. I’ve never used a mech mod and I’m not real comfortable with a brass tube that I guess technically has venting but if you look, I’m not sure what it has counts as venting so it’s just going in the stash and maybe I’ll trade it for something down the road. It’s a really beautiful mod though so it’ll look good on the shelf. I have to find some sort of brass rda to stick on it.

I understand perfectly. You start the car and it goes, periodically a little gasoline, what's the big deal?

Truly the final count down.

The sales and buying activity are starting to remind me of the 2016 frenzy. Back then we didn't really know what would happen after August 8, where we now are more or less resigned to a likely choking off of much of US vaping. Three years later, so much negative propaganda has accumulated that the common sense we hoped for then seems highly unlikely.
