I'm not stockpiling either for 2 reasons. I made good friends with a vape shop owner out here who has a huge stockpile of DIY juice and building supplies and said that he would be happy to sell me anything I need as well as show me how to make my own juice. Second reason is well... I know I'm already past the initial phase of quitting the smokes (it's been 8 months now) and since I quit cold turkey 3 times before with each time being a 3 to 4 year span, I'm just not worried about relapsing at all. I already don't bring my vape out with me anymore when leaving the house anymore except for at work and while I'm still vaping the same, I know I can just quit.

And of course I'm speaking ONLY for myself.
Contrast that with those of us who were never able to quit for more than a week or two prior to vaping, who very much worry that we'd be back to smoking very quickly if our vape supplies ran out. That's where I am, and needless to say, I'm stocked. :)

I know, I can totally relate as most of my friends were envious of me for being able to do so and I keep telling them, "If I can do it anyone can" but again.. it's a testiment of will and rewiring my brain into thinking differently. For example... not having a cigarette while drinking or not having a cig after a (fill in the blank here) session.

The first week was PURE TORTURE.. after that I was able to chew some sunflower seeds and gum to fill in for it and it eventually worked. Although I did quit cold turkey 3 times (before vaping even existed that I knew about) I still relapsed over social situations so I can't give myself too much credit.

Since Vaping is available to everyone now or at least for the time being, I wouldn't advise anyone to just quit and would advise them to pick up a topbox mini, Evic Mini, or Pico and tell them now, "This is how you quit, use these while smoking while cutting down the number of cigarettes they smoke each day". I'd also tell them this is their best chance to quit now... through vaping.. however they choose.

Now for others, I strongly suggest that they do stock up and couldn't be happier for them.

Although I've been vaping for 7 months, I still have never DIY my own juice and always buy my half dozen or so premium brands in 120ml online for cheap, and have only built successfully on my Crown V.1 and Kanger RBA a couple of dozen times. I use and prefer premade coils most of the time for the convience factor alone. Also due to the fact that the consistency of my wicking is hit and miss all the time.

Best of luck to you and good luck making it through this if these regs go into effect. The mere fact that we are all vaping instead of combusting is a win in and of itself! :)
