But the strangest thing is that Ebay still hosts Paypal payments for "anything" related to vaping, even 72mg nicotine liquids. Although "i" wouldn't buy nicotine liquid from Ebay. Bit iffy that.

If a seller sells something vape related on Ebay in the USA, how would the couriers know that they are shipping vape products ?..........they wouldn't !.

I Don't think US e-Bay has allowed Anything with Nicotine in that isn't an FDA Approved Product for a Long Time.

Do you have a Link to these 72mg e-Liquids?

Any nic suppliers having a sale for all this??

They're not having a sale, but HeartlandVapes.com has nic base that many of us have bought in quantity for our "stashes". It's their 100mg/mL House nicotine base for $44.99/Liter, or $42.99/L if you buy 4 or more. They also sell it by the Gallon, too.

Nicotine Solution - 100mg Liter

The amber glass boston round bottles and polycone caps for longterm freezer storage of the nic base, are sold on their website, too.

8oz Amber Glass Bottle - order them without the cap, because getting them separately below, saves some money

Phenolic Cone Cap - 8oz (28mm)

4oz Amber Glass Bottle - same thing with these...order caps separately below

Phenolic Cone Cap - 4oz (24mm)

PG & VG is also sold on their website.

Propylene Glycol - USP Kosher - 1 Gallon

Vegetable Glycerin - USP Kosher - 1 Gallon

They also carry a bunch of TFA flavorings, if you know some that you like well enough to buy by the 4oz. bottle.

If your order is $50 or more, you'll get Free S/H ...for anything/everything in your order! It definitely saves you a bunch of money, especially if you go ahead and get PG & VG, too. They also have a one-time use coupon code for an additional 5% off your entire order. It's simply VAPEMAG.

Their 100mg/mL House nic base is very good, in my opinion and many others who've bought it. Some have mistakenly thought, that at such a low price compared to other vendors...it must not be very good quality, but it definitely IS!

They won't likely order vape products from Ebay USA because they are forbidden on Ebay USA ;) . Same with Amazon USA. Sure, you'll find the odd vape accessory here and there, but you won't find a mod or a tank or juice. If you do find that stuff, the listing won't be up for long. Forbidden. Even craigslist forbids it from what I have heard.

They were listed only yesterday (UK) but have mysteriously disappeared today. It's weird !, i've just searched several times and i cannot find them. There were several different sellers all flogging 72mg nicotine liquid. Today i can't find any. Just as well really though. Bit dodgy that !. I remember buying 250ml and had to send it back. The VG had gone bad and it smelled pretty bad and was opaque. The seller tried telling me it's "ok and just needed to settle" then i said "it's on it's way back to you mate". It tasted awful too !. I am amazed they'd all been getting away with it for as long as they had.

So...I ordered a little chest freezer, for the garage, intended primarily to store Nic.

Anyone got pix of bottles in a little (3.5 cu ft) freezer? I'm not really sure how big that'll be. Guessing I need to get something to be a "shelf" to have 2 levels of bottles - these things are designed to hold bags or boxes of food, not upright bottles...

Ebay and Amazon UK are a different ballgame than Ebay and Amazon USA. It's possible that they decided to prohibit vape gear (or maybe just nic base) on the UK site. But I come across quite a bit of Amazon UK listings for vape gear when I'm searching for hard-to-find items. Never Amazon USA, though.

Keep your bottles in boxes for easy stacking/storage. If you order your bottles in cases, you'll get boxes.

If you order your bottles loose and you don't have small boxes, you can order Priority Mail boxes from the USPS for free.

The medium flat rate box will hold about 22 or 23 4 oz bottles upright.

I don't know about 8oz bottles because I don't have any so I have no idea how tall they are. But the 4oz bottles fit with room to spare at the top so just use newspaper or babble wrap or some other padding to fill the space at the top of the box.

EDITED TO ADD: Just checked the 8oz bottles on Amazon. Won't find in those Medium flat rate PM boxes as they are about a half inch too high. look around the USPS website to see if they have other priority mail or express mail free boxes that will work. 8 oz bottles are about 2.5 inches wide and about 6 inches tall according to GBO on amazon.

Yeah... Sometimes you can get past the e-Bay listing Filters, and the Auction can go Live. But then it gets Snagged on the Nightly Scan for No-Go items.

The Long and the Short of it is the Noose is Tightening over here in the USA. And if one Isn't Stock Up soon, the had better Soon. Cause there Isn't a lot of Sand left in the Glass.

I have mine in a 5cu. ft. chest freezer, with frozen boxed food and vacuum-packed halibut, too. The 8oz. bottles of nic base are in brown, double-walled, cardboard boxes lined with bubblewrap (and on top of the bottles). Each box holds 6-8 bottles. In case moisture affects the cardboard boxes longterm, I put each box in a poly mailer and taped it tightly shut. I stacked the boxes, 2 high...and didn't use a shelf.

ETA: Might want to be careful if you use the Priority Mail USPS shipping boxes. They're single-walled, pretty flimsy ones now, especially if they get damp. I found that out the hard way, when the mail carrier delivered a PM boxed package (while it was raining and I wasn't home). He'd put it on my front porch chair, well under protection of the roof overhang, so rain didn't actually hit it. Just the dampness during approx. 2 hours there...meant my thumbs went through the cardboard when I picked it up. They used to be the thicker ones years ago.

Ah yes... Late Lament.

Breathe deep the gathering gloom
Watch lights fade from every room
Bedsitter people look back and lament
Another day's useless energy is spent
Impassioned lovers wrestle as one;
Lonely man cries for love and has none
New mother picks up and suckles her son
Senior citizens wish they were young

Cold-hearted orb that rules the night
Removes the colours from our sight
Red is grey is yellow white
But we decide which is right
And which is an illusion
