US shipping cutoff dates - USPS, Fedex & UPS

[Enoch777]

I hope those vapers who have put off preparing are getting their act together.

I just picked up 2000mL of nic, we shall see how long that lasts diluted to 12mg. I've been wondering if it isn't time to grab a DIY distillation kit (Round bottom, erlenmeyer, fittings, etc) and try my hand at my own nicotine extraction using washing soda.

I guess a lot of online retailers waited until March to start acknowledging the consumer business is over. It's interesting that a number of them are coming up with different dates but most are well before April 26, many before April 1. I hope those vapers who have put off preparing are getting their act together.

Vaping360 in their last article update stated March 27 (reference source included) as the date the USPS ban will go into effect. Only 5 days after comments are closed the same date the PACT goes into effect. IIRC ...my brain is refusing to comply with all this info so... lol!

I wonder how many shops will get the necessary tobacco license(s) and ATF registration to get USPS shipments from wholesalers. Shops may fall off quickly too if the wholesale channel requires those, as shown in the River Supply form required to continue to do business.

We may be too optimistic that there will be much of a B&M channel left, except for bigger multistore operations.

I most states I looked into last year, tobacco resale licenses are very cheap and fairly easy to get.

I have that same problem. TMI. IO.

There was a website I backed out of because they were requesting everyone to fill out a form business and retail alike, I wish I could remember

If you're on a desktop system and you can remember what day it was, look in your browser's history. Could probably do this on mobile, too, but I don't know anything about that mobile stuff.

Would love to know which retailer this was.

No history past 24 hours... I tried that first, my son must have set it up that way.

I just received a couple mech mods from a seller in Europe. The outside of the package indicated "metal tubes" and the sender was the name of an individual rather than the company selling the hardware. Hmmm.

A box mod could be a "variable power supply" All they need to do is include a little light bulb in a holder with 510 threading. Voila - a flashlight. And it comes full circle.

And the 510 flashlight head doesn't even need to really work. I always wanted one just for the hell of it but never got around to purchasing one before FT stopped selling them. Fasttech: LED 510 Flashlight Heads

Theres tons of power-banks on the market.

 

[englishmick]

A little harder to think of a plausible cover story for tanks. Maybe personal aromatherapy modules.

None of it will matter much if nicotine stops being available though.

 

[Ed Brown]

Those 510 flashlight heads resemble an RDA. Maybe they could be an "open filament infrared light source"

Or a 510 threaded mini light saber module. The possibilities are endless.

I'm probably preaching to the choir but, I tried plain old VG with Nic (no flavors) and it was not bad. In fact I got used to it and went through 5 - 60ml bottles no problem.

I have 2 gallons of nic and no plans on stopping. All that I will need to find is a liter of VG and game on.

Agree. I bought up Kayfun V2 clones a couple of years ago. Since then, I've used a couple of my previous V2 clones and left the backup stock in the boxes they came in. Still, I'm looking right now to order a few more just in case Congress gets crazy(er). I've ordered and used a lot of the latest and greatest atomizers over the years and I keep coming back to the standard Kayfun V2 every time.

I'm looking right now at buying a few more for the "I got mine" stash.

These might interest you.

I guess the future of manufacturing/market/production/design in China will be lo-pro, disguised, etc. mods and tanks.

Interesting! ...in my 5-6 years of diy vaping, I've never tried that yet. I must give it a try.

I've been vaping unflavored (50/50 PG/VG) exclusively for about 5 years now. I've tried friends' flavored vapes and can't even go there anymore.

 

[UncLeJunkLe]

I tried unflavored 2 times now and it makes me gag. I don't like the sweetness of the VG without flavor. But I'll continue to try in throughout my vaping career because I like the idea of going flavorless. I honestly believe the will make flavors that are suitable for vaping hard or impossible to get at some point.

Just got a reply from a major nic comp... and they sound similar to everyone else, "...working diligently to find new options for our customers while the impending ban does come forward. We are suggesting customer stock up for a couple of months while the situation figures itself out... ...We can offer local pickup for our folks who wish to place an order and come by our location and get it."
Good to hear they offer local pick-up!


I really hope local B&Ms offer nic too.
Is this common for B&Ms to carry? I haven't been to a B&M since I started in 2016, and only been a handful of times. But, I'd automatically assume B&M's would wanna push the more expensive, pre-made e-liquid bottles... instead of the money-saver diy stuff.


For major nic and flavor sellers... I think their websites should have a specific page/link that can show local B&M distributers/shops (per zip code) that stock their products. That would be super helpful for people across the nation.
