1 x Efest XMart Smart charger
2 x Efest IMR 18650 2500mAh Battery - 35 Amp - **FLAT Top**
1 x OLA X Hero 30w Mod - Black
Ordered, will be shipped hopefully this week, or may arrive after first of year. Wanted a modest box mod with swap-able batteries for a while now. Got an RSST for Christmas, may buy another. Aside from that I may buy some wick & wire.
A friend has a business license to sell nicotine products, tobacco
included. He thinks if this all comes down he will be grandfathered,
they cannot enforce retroactively. This to me seems logical. He has a
small stock of nicotine from WL and likely will be able to continue
buying there. At the worst case, I can vape without nicotine, or stop
vaping & not return to tobacco.
Would prefer to not go to worst case. Yes, I know buying new gear seems
to imply money is at hand. It is limited though and what gear I buy is
bought only such occasion to buy modestly. This last order was around
$80. Considering I'm getting a modest box mod, batteries and charger,
to me it seems a fair cost. I fortunately had that in my stipend, and
enough for a bit of critter feed if needed.
Think my last big buy was around $45. Again, I bought what a number of
people may consider low end gear. To me it is modest, mediocre gear.
It serves the purpose. I do not fog up our 144 square foot bed room,
nor the smaller bathroom. At best I get a little cloud in my immediate
vicinity. It suits my needs. I do not mind some modest costs that I have
paid, pay. I like to vape and also like supporting small businesses.
Granted, I would like supporting local small businesses more.
I shop at on-line vendors for better prices. Our local vendors seem to
think it fitting to gauge everyone like a newbie. Their juices alone
tell the tale, some running $15 to $20 for a little 10 or 5 ml bottle.
I'm not opposed to anyone profiting yet robbery is robbery. I can pay
$40 and get an 8 oz bottle of favored juice from a vendor in four days
at most. That lasts me nearly eight months, compared to $20 for a week
of juice, see where I'm buying.
Then, the locals quadruple prices on the gear as well. So, on-line
vendors it is for me. I still am supporting small businesses. I get
nice deals on gear and juice. I can shop around too and find what I see
as a better deal. Welcome to being a consumer 101. We vote with money.
We like your service, your product, quality, you get our money. Any of
those are off, our money goes elsewhere. It pays to compete a bit.
Vaping like the herb use we don't mention here can serve to create an
economy. Government types always keen on saying let us have a free
market. Look that term up once. It goes back to British privateers
forcing opium into China for silver, the British had to compete with
the Dutch. At any given, vaping and the herb both create a free and
fair market. In Colorado they had excess tax revenue from the herb use
taxation. It went to infrastructure repair, funding schools because the
voters said so.
I say let government shut it down. They'll only cut their own throats
ultimately. The people will remember. The people will stop buying
useless crap, and government lies. So yes, let them shut it down as
stupid as that sounds.
