Vape shops closing

[sofarsogood]

Chess costs?

My annual cost of ingredients for liquid is less than $40. May be I need a fresh battery, every couple years may be I need another mod. It's so little money it might as well be free, like chess. But there are people who want to endlessly explore new flavors or they are newbies who need coaching. The vape shops are for them. They'll pay more in the shops, their choice. The treatment of the shops by the governors is sadistic. There's no other word for it. Hopefully the courts agree and eventually we can get those governors out of office.

I was mistaken. It's Ohio, and Global Vapors is closing down.

Vapers are reviled for some reason. That hate definitely seems to cross party lines. (Maybe a bit less on one side.)

Im sure cloud chucking and child friendly labels had nothing to do with it. All the crap civilized vapers have been warning about for years.

You're mistaken again. Ohio is still pending. No ban yet.

Dewine is investigating into the details of to do a ban. Ohio vapers have a rally planned for this Tuesday at 11am at the Columbus courthhouse by Ohio Vapor Trade Association. Over 250 planning to attend. I'm going.

You know all you really need is 2 bottles 1 syringe and something like a sewing needle.

On your first mix use a juice calculator and put in the nic according to the calculator, and scratch a line on the bottle, then add pg, scratch a line, add vg, scratch a line, then using the juice calculator count the drops of flavorings last.

Pour the contents into the second bottle.

From then on just put in the nic to first line, pg to the second line, vg to third line, and finish with drops of flavoring.

I do something similar but use a "sharpie" ink pen. 120ml plastic bottle... marked off lines every 10ml. I like 65VG/35PG so put a special line at 65ml. My nic is in PG so I just fill to 65ml mark with VG, then fill to 100ml mark with PG(and nic) no syringe needed. Shake it up well then I have "base" ready to go. I do lots of small batches (still experimenting) so put 10ml each in small bottles (empty plastic "mini'bar" vodka bottles) and then use syringe (no needle needed) to add flavor(s) Steep a few days, quick taste test, then add more flavor (drops) if needed. BTW, I also use plastic "champagne" glasses from the dollar store (they are handy when using the syringe... it fits perfectly down into the "stem" part) the VG was free (had it to give the cat an enema) the syringe was free (leftover from vitamin B12 shot) so all I really had to buy was nic (in PG) and flavors. Talk about low budget!

I forgot... the lines every 10ml is to judge how much to put in each tester bottle

I’m just always stuck thinking about the blue-collar, lower-middle-class customers I had at my vape shop all those years. Only about 1/5 of my customers were those “high visibility” vapers causing the “bad optics” vaping has. Those people, to me, are who vapers are. How anyone could look at any of those honest people and think they are some scourge about in society just blows my mind.

What do demonrats like you and liars have in common? Everything! The president hasn't signed anything yet. You also might want to listen to what all the demonrat candidates are saying about everything.

"Demonrats"?
What, are you like 12 years old, or something?
Stop with the juvenile names.

Nearly every state has declared either a flavor ban or ban on all vaping. The federal government is saying the same thing.

Some shops are running huge sales just to get what they can with what product they have in stock. I got 8 - 100ml bottles of my two favorite all day vapes at 40% off at 8-VAPE the day before yesterday.

Some other shops or online stores may be holding out to the very end.

Amazingly ca hasn't yet...but they're trying...I mean we banned Plastic straws and soda in Berkeley...it's inevitable. Call tend to believe what ABC or CNN tells them... apparently most of us are sheep

I was mistaken. It's Ohio, and Global Vapors is closing down.

Their fb page says they will be closed Tuesday to attend the rally,their not closing down that i have seen.

Bills to restrict vaping, e-cigarettes introduced in Ohio Legislatur

Gov. Mike DeWine says he’s looking into a statewide ban on flavored e-cigarettes

Opinion: Vaping ban promotes bad policy

I agree with Katya. Ohio is still pending. Governor DeWine is looking into if he has the proper authority to executive order a ban on vaping. Ohio vapers are having a rally in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday. I'll be there. They have rented buses from locations like Cincinnati so bus loads of supporters will be there. I heard that there will also be representatives from Florida and Tennessee there too. We're expecting over 300 or more supporters. They may not listen, but we will be heard.

Wish you all the best over there. Hope it is attended better than ours and with better outcome.

You must be a demonrat if it bothers you so much.

Honestly Don, I'm a conservative and even I'm offended..

We don't need this kind of divisiveness in our country, let alone in this forum where we share a very common interest..

There's enough of this kind of thing from the talking heads, let's not feed the beast..

You can get syringes from your pharmacy. They give them out for giving kids liquid medicine. Well my pharmacy does anyway. DIY is very easy. In a 120ml bottle I put 18ml flavoring, 3.6ml 100mg/ml VG base (3mg) and top off the rest with VG. Shake vigorously, DRIP IT & RIP IT!

I do the same, 60ml bottle, add a 10ml 18mg nic shot and then add the concentrate and top up,no messing, shake n bake

I do a similar thing but 500 mL at a time of my ADV. 15 mL nic, 15 mL flavor, take my thumb and put it halfway up the remaining space add VG to my thumb and then fill the rest with PG. Shake.

I realized awhile back that it doesn't have to be exactly 50/50 PG/VG as long as I get the nic and flavorings right. I do a large batch and transfer to a smaller bottle to fill from as I need it. I am lazy and don't really enjoy mixing so I just get it done once and don't have to mess with it again for months.

 

[Marper]

Yeah, as I use premixed vg/pg and mainly 15/20 percent concentrate my mix tends to be 67vg/ 33pg when done,it's not a biggy as long as you like it,it takes me like 5 minutes to do a 60ml bottle, no prob, I'm the biggest lazy person you would ever want to meet haha

Jeeze Don. Take it down a Notch.

Jeeze Don. Take it down a Notch.

I will not just stand by and be slapped because some crybaby got his feelings hurt. I wasn't speaking to him to begin with. If politics aren't brought up I won't respond with a political statement.

Also forgot to mention my nic in PG is 48mg/ml so I end up with 12mg/ml.
Funny (actually not) that the topic is "Vape shops closing" and we have sidetracked with politics and DIY.
What I find ironic is that "tobacco" flavored juices are really just other flavors that resemble unburned tobacco. Will RY4 be banned? It's mostly caramel/vanilla. Anyway, even though I enjoy me "tobacco" mix juice in the morning, I am switching to my other favorite flavors now... apple pie, berries, and lemon custard. My little backup device has mango/dragon fruit in it.

You just had to remind me I am supposed to be making and canning a couple of batches of my Apple Pie Jam today for the hubby to give out at work.

Oh well back to reading ECF.
