Welp... I dropped a lot of money last night, about $160 (and another $100 soon for 1L of nic).
...got 3 rolls of kanthal wire (even though I'm still on the 1st roll for the past 5 years lol, and still had a 2nd roll backup), 10pcs glass for my many KF V5 clones, 6pcs Nord pods (thos'll last a few years, or until the electronics break... they're for moms), 2x SXK KF 2021, Ruok Nord RBA (nice idea... but again, until electronics break... but might get a 2nd one cuz they seem cool). Haven't bought any hw in a couple years; so excited to try a new tank.
As for liquids... got a few flavors I'm running low on, 4L of VG, 1L PG (I know these aren't banned... but good to have).
All I need to order now is nic. Idk how much yet... maybe just 1L (I don't wanna get too much... as it might go stale), as I vape only 3mg and a 60ml lasts +5 days (so 1L / 1.86ml per bottle = 537 60ml bottles * 5days per = 2,699days / 365daysperyear = 7.36years... and I still have more than a half a bottle of a 250ml (around 60%)... so, 8.47years total after I get a 1L. (double that if I try cutting my mg to 1.5mg)

Where did you get the KF5 glass?
No need to stock up on wire or cotton or rayon. That stuff is available non-vape branded from non-vape suppliers for non-vape purposes, therefore not able to be banned or restricted as "tobacco products". Amazon has all the Japanese Organic cotton and rayon you need and Temco Industrial has your Kanthal.
Stretch your vapocalypse dollars by only buying stuff that you won't be able to buy soon.
I cut my nicotine down in .1 increments, and it worked wonderfully! I know it sounds funny...lol I got down to 3mg and had trouble cutting lower due to the sweetness. So I went down to 2.9mg and did not notice any difference. Then to 2.8, 2.7, 2.6.... and so on! Now I am at 0.7mg nicotine! I just lowered it this week from 0.8
When I felt like lowering it I would lower it. I did not do it in any time frame or anything.I am using up nicotine I had in the freezer from 2016, and it is not stale. It tastes and looks the same as the day I bought it. It’s completely clear.
Glass... FT
Wire... yes, I know I know; but I'm so used to the UD brand that I wanted to get it again, haha. Thanks for tip on Temco.
It was a dollar and change per roll anyways
I used to be able to buy spools of Focusecig Ni200 Clapton. Now I probably would have to wrap my own if I run out. Nickel is kind of soft to hand wrap.
Use this--very helpful:

Nicotine stored properly in the freezer has a very long shelf life--years. I buy mine from Nude Nicotine ready for long-term storage sealed with argon--small 125 ml bottles. But you can buy more and rebottle it yourself!
I've thought of you all fondly as well.Kitty! Oh, we all do... Where have you been, love! We missed you!
Same place. But they were out of stock last week. They're still out of the 5 gal pail and the 55 gallon drum
Bulk Apothecary has it by the truckload, and it's much better than the I'd gotten from Amazon.
Gotta ask you something (as someone who has only vaped PG and VG from one place - heartland), what is it that makes BA's stuff better than the stuff you used from Amazon?
Got an email from Liquid Nicotine Wholesalers:
Pact Act Vape Mail Ban
March 5, 2021
On December 27th, 2020 the vape mail ban (S.1253) was signed into law. This new law prohibits any vapor-related products from being shipped with USPS. Following the passage of the new law, the major private delivery companies announced that they too would stop delivering vaping products, not just to homes but also to businesses. FedEx stopped shipping vape products on March 1, and UPS will stop shipping vape products on April 5. DHL had already prohibited shipping vape products domestically before this law passed.
The net effect of this ban will make it nearly impossible to ship vapor products direct-to-consumer. Therefore, we are fairly certain we will no longer be provided with the ability to ship directly to consumers and DIY'ers.
To ensure all orders are shipped out before the respective carriers' cutoff dates, we will no longer be accepting consumer orders after March 26th, 2021. Due to high order volume please allow an additional 4-7 days for your order to be processed. We advise that you get your order placed as soon as possible. If anything changes we will be sure to provide our customers with updates, but our only advice at this time is to stock up on your favorite vape products.
LNW would like to thank you for your continued support and loyalty throughout the last eight years. It has been an honor and privilege to serve the DIY and vape community with all of its needs. We are deeply saddened by this news and we wish you nothing but the best. Just know, LNW will do anything in its power to serve you in the future when the opportunity presents itself.

On February 19, 2021, the USPS published in the Federal Register a proposed rule, which is necessary to carry out the new law. The public is invited to review and comment on the rule until March 22, 2021. We urge you to make your voice heard by clicking the link, below.

We recommend taking advantage of USPS and UPS shipping options while they are still available

Most of my Amazon ones had a taste, where BA's have never...
In fact, I had to throw the last ones I got from Bezos into the trash. That one had a horrid taste and a matching odor.
Yes, I know Bezos gave up his throne.
Placed a large order with FastTech about 2 weeks ago, maybe a week and a half. Do y'all think I should still receive it?
It should come through just fine. I dont think they are going to mess with things already in the system, especially items from China labeled "filters".
I've got an order pending from FT, too and another from another Chinese vendor, so I'm in the same situation.
