Sitting here now and it is past midnight and I just now turned 31 and am on the very last of my e-juice in my tank. Had to use my extreme back up juice some 36 mg nic extreme ice. normally i am on 12. Was going to drop to 8 mg. But don't have any money for more juice. All i got for backups is some crappy cigalikes I never threw out from my early days of vaping. This sucks.

We got a lot of people living in our house right now. We were going to have a yard sale tomorrow and I had planned on trying to sell some stuff to make money to get more. I am where I got to at least get the 30 ml bottles. my subtank mini just gets thirsty and goes through a lot. If I had the money, i know where I can get good juice pretty cheap. Yardsale's date got changed today to next sat. i could have possibly stretched out my juice enough to wait out the yard sale and try to wait on juice i'd order to get here. But now that isn't possible. No way can I stretch it out another week.

My mom and stepdad can't afford to spare the money. Their's no way my sister or her boyfriend would give it to me and I doubt my sis's best friend who is also living here would give me the money for juice. Not even going to ask. They know i'm about about and haven't offered anything so i doubt asking them would do any good.

Your funny. I live in Indiana. With the new stuff that has been past, i think it is illegal now though shops themselves have a year to get things in line before they have to get those licenses and all them regulations they got. If I could just find a job I wouldn't have to worry about making it or about buying it cause I'd be able to afford it. Been out of work almost a year now and can't find a job. The only reason I had a bunch of juice before was cause I got some with my tax check. I was lucky to get some money back. Used a good amount on juices and a new vape. Though before that I did get lucky and had some friends give me some. Now I just got to try to get through this. Even if it means i got to use these crappy cigalikes when this juice is gone. There is no way I am going back to cigarettes.

I'm not sayin break the law...
But if it were me,
I wouldn't care about legality at this point.
No one is gonna come get me for ordering some nic. VG,PG, and food flavorings are legal. DIY is embarrassingly cheap.

I'd make one order ( under $75) and not stress about vaping for a year.

Can't really help ya with the job thing.

For what it's worth, Happy Birthday, we all hit hard times now and again, hopefully you can sort something out soon, I couldn't imagine asking any of my family for some money for e liquid when I'm in my 30's, I'd rather keep that to myself tbh..not to mention posting it on here..:eek:

I haven't gotten a birthday card with money in it since I was a teenager. The reason I don't mind posting here as much is cause only another vapor can really understand the frustration in this situation. Sometimes we just need to vent and let stuff out. Hell this here is actually the least of my problems. Reason it is a priority is because it helps to keep me sane enough to deal with everything else.

I got the rebuildable rba that came with it but the thing is crap. I can't get it to wick right. I gave up on using it and am just using stock coils. From what I have read online, this is a common issue with it. Some have even drilled extra holes into it and not had any luck. I love my sub-tank mini. Sadly kanger's rebuildable rba for it sucks. At least stock coils are good. I just got a 5 pack recently. After about a month I am still on the first coil and it hasn't shown signs of going out. These seem a lot better then the stock coils I got before. Same kind and all. Perhaps I got a bad batch before.

You might want to consider making your own juice. It sure has saved me a ton of money. I started almost two years ago and I'm so very glad I did. After I got into mechs and gennies I was spending $80 a week on juice, and had to do something about that. It wasn't so expensive to start up, and it turned out to be pretty simple once I got down to it.

Here's the half liter of 12 mg juice I made recently for about $40.

Like I mentioned before with the passing of a recent law, which all juice makers and shops have a years grace period to get things in line and get licensed, i'd likely be breaking the law making my own. With how it is worded it sounds that way. I also should mention that this law will make it harder to get juices from out of state because it requires those who sell to Indiana to go through the same hoops and stuff if they want to sell and ship juice to people here.
