Probably not a lot of folks after black market cbd at this point.

From what I've read, that is what / where a majority of the "Youth" (under aged teenagers) are getting their "pre-filled" pods / cbd from, besides from "Behind" the counter sales at some B&M's . . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

Just a thought for those of you of advanced age (any age really) stocking up on nic.

Make sure any nic that you freeze is clearly labeled and if highly concentrated it should be clear by simply reading the label that its poison. Someone you love may wind up emptying that freezer and they might not have a clue about nic.

None of my family members vape (or smoke). But they all know exactly what's in my freezers, and with the poop that's going down right now, they keep asking me, "Are you sure you've got enough?"

They know from past quit-smoking attempts that I'm insufferable to be around without my nic. :laugh:

Same thing with firearms in the house. Family members need to be aware they exist and the consequences of mishandling them.

I think it’s pretty naive of the government to think teens are not vaping tobacco flavors. In my younger years we drank hard liquor and smoked cigarettes.
And even more naive of them to not realize they will still be vaping tobacco flavors after the flavor ban. That or they will just smoke.

That might be but why? Not sure they would even want CBD, you can't get high on it. More likely they are buying off the street and THC filled carts.

CBD is usually used for medical purposes which tend to be older people with aches and pains.

You're correct, about the CBD - "My Bad" I meant THC . . . :facepalm:

Oh Well - I'm one of those "Old People" and having a "Senior" moment again . . .

If a Dr. ever said that to me, I would ask him/her if they drink alcohol? Use meds? Eat fatty foods? You get the drift.

My doctor is 89 and works full time. I’m in no position to @ him about healthy lifestyle choices.

He doesn’t smoke, and never eats fast or fried food, has a glass of wine with dinner and takes fish oil supplements, that’s all I know.
He’s Italian so I’m betting he is not anti-carbs.

But then, he is cautiously optimistic about vaping. He was skeptical, until he noted my lungs clearing up.

He sounds seriously cool. I once had an ancient Doc, called Doctor Blud ( not a joke...it's true). He was ex-army and treated everyone as malingerers who needed to be shot.

Mediterranean diets are acknowledged as the most helpful for a long life. But then again Maasai people and others who drink raw blood daily are very healthy too ... I like Black Pudding, but drink blood, nah.

BTW: Speaking about "Older People" and the use of CBD / Medical Marijuana - AARP main article / cover story in their Bulletin this month:

"Medical Marijuana: Your Questions and what we know Today" (By Sari Harrar)

What Is Medical Marijuana and Facts You Need to Know

Here is another link to information they offer too:

There's more - but Ya' can look them up while you're there if you are interested . . . Just Sayin' . . . ;)

300 dollars of drop in coils (check). There are a few drop in systems I am unwilling to do without.

5 more liters of budget Heartland nic (check.) I like it! I am vaping it now! So 10 or so (I haven't counted exactly plus one gallon of nic salts in the freezer (check.)

Went nuts on sales of flavors over labor day and got larger sizes of flavors I use a lot (check.) Holy goodness they are even ALL STANDING up like soldiers in boxes in my "this is my current DIY thing I am using) check. That was so unlike me. But for some reason I was like, "Girrrlll, you should not waste a drop of flavor by putting it in a ziplock bag in the fridge." Organized? No Upright? Yes.

I'm pretty done now. I have to get a charger plate for my dicodes because if anyone could strip the freaking battery threads, it's me. So I will get my last planned dicodes, too. I was going to wait for my bonus but since I don't HAVE to wait, that will be it.

For now. For me. I'm feeling pretty good about ME. But.... not everyone is ME so I'm somewhat bummed about it. I have tons of tube mods, I have mods that may never be opened before I DIE (eleaf invokes, mainly) but I'm OKAY with that. Plus, uncountable RTAs, seriously, I could never get another new RTA and still have "new" stuff to play with until the day I die.

I'm okay. ARE YOU OKAY??????????? Time is ticking.

I didn't really want to do this RIGHT this second but I'm glad it's done.

    Interesting old article from 2009
    Propylene glycol, the primary ingredient in the electronic cigarette cartridge, may be a powerful deterrent against pneumonia, influenza, and other respiratory diseases when vaporized and inhaled according to a study by Dr. Oswald Hope Robertson. Decades before the e cigarette was invented, a study was conducted by Dr. Robertson of the University of Chicago's Billings Hospital in 1942 on inhalation of vaporized propylene glycol in laboratory mice. A more in-depth article was printed in the 1942 issue of TIME Magazine Medicine: Air Germicide for November 16th. "Dr. Robertson placed groups of mice in a chamber and sprayed its air first with propylene glycol, then with influenza virus. All the mice lived. Then he sprayed the chamber with virus alone. All the mice died."

    3 provaris, 5 REOs, 2 aliens, a Solo, 5 Subboxes, 3 neboxes, 2 frankenskulls, 2 Pulse x BF kits, a ridiculous number of tube mechs. Probably 40 assorted tanks most of which are RTAs, At least 25 squonk attys, and probably another 25 regular drippers. Heck I even have divers for old school carto tanks and the tanks to go with them (diver is a rebuildable replacement for the carto). I have my nic put away. Not worried about getting PG, VG or flavorings as those are used for many non vaping things. I also have hundreds of squonk bottles for the various systems.

    The one thing I need to pick up a few more of is drip tips both 510 and 810. In case of loss.

    I also have the knowledge that in a pinch I could turn a flashlight into a mod (I long ago stocked up on switches and 510 connectors) and could if necessary improvise a dripping atty.

    I started getting ready more than 6 years ago when I saw the writing on the wall. With very few exceptions everything I have bought along the way and all the research I did were aimed at keeping me vaping forever. I took a LOT of crap here on ECF and elsewhere because people did not for a minute believe it would come to this. I was sort of the barely tolerated crazy prepper lady on the forum. Now I am left feeling very sad that all the work I put in will actually be necessary now.

    Sounds like a rationale to ban it to me.
