Thinking of just buying vpg bases from molinshop to stock up on. It's simple and then I KNOW that I'll get good quality products.

Buying pg and vg out country is stupid. Would have to buy 30x orders because of the limitations. And I don't know of the vg/pg in the shops over here.

And buying 100mg nic, There's a chance it will be stopped at customs and destructed. It's not really legal to import high strength of nicotine. And I would still also have to buy max 100ml at a time, causing even more shipment costs.

I use approx 1 liter a year as of now. One litre incl shipping costs $37. And I'd buy one litre per year I want to stockpile liquid for. 6 years = 6L+.
It's legal to import high concentration of nic-base in NL, as long as it doesn't say it's for ecigs on the package. If you were a farmer, it would be totally illegal, yes, but as a natural person? I've not heard of anybody in the EU that had their high % Nic base taken by customs. So I wouldn't worry too much about that ;)

Issue is that I have to order max 200ml 100mg at a time, making it really expensive in terms of shipping :/ Damn $42 limit on orders incl shipping costs.

@fourthrok I'm happy for you that you're getting better :)

Ahhh social/public anxiety... It's gone up and down most of my life, I was always known as "the quiet one" by every around me. And the fact that they mentioned it all the time, didn't make it any better. But the last 3 years, it's gotten much better. I'm not the loud, enthustiastic one, but I have no problems with speaking to others or function normal, and I'm not quiet at all around people I know or my family.

But anxiety in public.. I'm trying to look as "regular" as possible when out in public alone. Mostly not an issue. But lately, I've even had problems vaping when other people are around. What the.. I panick a bit, and get nervous and actually even put my vape down in the pocket when I see someone walking against my way, making sure that person sees it. And I could never wear headphones (not plugs) in public, neither clothes that differs from the norm... I don't know. I grew up with seperated parents, and my father always refused me to do anything I wanted. I couldn't see my friends, wear the clothes I wanted, could not even use my phone or a computer when I was at his place except for when I recieved a call, else he'd take it from me, check all my messages and logs. I spent almost all my days sitting annoyed and reading. Yup, that's all I did in the 16 years I lived with him 50% of the time. I was too scared to confront him, as he was threatening whenever I tried and became violent whenever I did something he didn't "like". Hit both me and my brother many times. Christmas 2012, I couldn't take it anymore. I took everything nessescary and left during the night and didn't have any contact with him for 2 years. I bet this has something to do with it.

This year, we've been visiting sometimes (mostly because I still want to be in touch with my family on that side, and that is rather difficult without facing him). My brother tells me he's not like that anymore and now he enjoys being there more than at his moms. I'm never going to accept what he did, neither forgive him. Ever. I know he's gotten "better", but that doesn't justify the hell he made me go through most of my life. But I still want my daughter to have a granddad, and having "two families". Although I'd never let him be alone with her. I don't trust him, and I never will.

That was enough personal for one day, moving on... Had a great day you all?

I've had a very hard time forgiving my mom & stepdad; the only way I've been able to get past it at all, is knowing that they're not malicious; their shortcomings as parents were due more to ignorance than any bad intent -- they did their best. The only way I could get beyond it was to try and be a better parent myself, for my own son, and I think I succeeded -- he's a good, honest person, and he seems to still like being around me and his dad, though he's now 27 yrs old. He's the funniest person I've ever known, and one of the smartest!

But that incident a couple wks ago, at my parents' house... the only way I could deal was to just go outside and wait for my husband in the truck. It was either that or knock the hell out of somebody. :D You know the saying about discretion being the better part of valor... sometimes disappearing is the better part of discretion. ;) But I knew if I didn't at least make the effort to repair the bridges instead of burning them, I would regret it terribly when they're gone.

Unflavored vape is number 1 rule for sneaky vaping.
I keep some handy with a double dose of nic in it.
My current DIY menthol has very little odor to it... and doesn't smell even remotely like tobacco. The problem was the vapor itself...wafting in a cloud out of my purse and around my head! :rolleyes: Both times it was the vapor cloud...and that is probably what "saved" me because both times, despite sniffing around, the nurse could not place any unusual smell.

When we went out shopping on Black Friday, after I picked out the boots I wanted and found my size, tried them on... then, before I could stand in that looooooooooooooooooong line, I seriously had to visit the lady's room, so my husband stood in line while I visited the facilities. Knowing I was going to have a long wait in line, I got a few puffs in while sitting on the throne, but jeez... I thought I was a serious tootle puffer, but I kept having to re-re-inhale to keep the vapor down! :D :facepalm: :lol: 85% Pg makes more vapor than most people believe... :D

Just in case you were not aware the battery name is the actual size

18650 is 18mm diameter 650mm tall
18500 is 18mm diameter 500mm tall

Etc. a kick tube is the 150mm to cover the difference in sizes

Ummm ok except you are an order of magnitude out.
or everything in Australia is huge.. elifino ;)

True, that!! I get HUGE clouds all the time. Of course, if there is a breeze or a fan or something it's not as thick looking. But it's a lot of vapor! My avatar pic was taken without me taking any real effort to make a cloud...with 85% PG!

Umm ... no. Krisma is correct in her measurements. That would be mm, not cm btw

Umm... no. An 18650 is 65mm not 650mm (25.59 inches) tall. The 18mm part was correct. ;)

Yeah.. if I watch TV in my husband's room, he has a cow, waving the vapor away, or he runs the fan to blow it towards the door. Now that it's winter, I mostly watch TV in the living room so he doesn't freeze me to death!

Once after a visit to the local vape shop where some cloud chaser was showing his derriere along with fogging up the place, my husband says "I'm sure glad you don't do that! Whatever he's using, never get that!" I told him he never had to worry, since that much Vg would surely kill me. :D

Sorry, you are correct ... I blame poor eyesight and a mobile phone screen :eek:
