What happened to all the higher strength NIC juice that used to be Avail ?

Good Analysis!

I feel lucky that I joined the ECF when I did. Learned fast and stocked up hard.

Am stocking hard now, for DIY. Stocking for HW comes in the next month or so. They just snuck in a bit on the synthetic nicotine, with a pmta(sic?) of 60 to 90 days for research, in the omnibus bill. Ordered my next liter of nic from nicbase, and more DIY flavorings from flavor jungle.

Ahhh... there are a number of reasons here but mainly:

Fragmentation

The two big current trends are "pod mods" and multi-drop-in-coil high powered "cloud chasers".

The high power and vapor output folks tend to vape at ~3-6mg. (or maybe less) The pod mod users generally use nic salts at 35-50mg.

I drop in on my local vape shop from time to time and last time I was there all they had was a whole bunch of different pod mods and a handful of mods/atomizers that were high power.

There was NOTHING that had a replaceable battery and NO atomizers where the user needed to wind their own coil.

They had a wall of different types of juice however as mentioned, ~3-6mg free base and ~35-50mg nic salts were the only choices.

Some shops do not have the replaceable batteries, while others in our area not only include replaceable batteries but coils as well. Found this out when a mod user tried to cut in on my purchase (jonesing anyone?), was rude. They didn't have his coils, but then he was looking at another nod, unsure if his battery would work (they admitted most to all devices 18650, not sure what was up with that). Friendly clerk/owner was answering my questions about the mod, while said rude jonser continued to treat me as if I was beneath his level.
