buy patches and boil them down to extract the nic. Mix with VG and vape it.

Seriously, I've thought about stock-piling nicotine liquid, it freezes well apparently. They can't ban PG, VG flavorings, 18650 batteries, wick or wire, so all we would need would be the nic liquid. Personally, I don't think they'll ban vaping completely, but they are liable to tax the crap out of buying the liquid and maybe prohibit buying it online.

I suppose we can all "take our freedom back" and just use blu :blink:

I think there would be a strong underground community (although really we already are kinda underground) pop up pretty quickly that people could get their needs from. Although obviously safety and getting what you actually pay for becomes an issue if it became black market stuff.

Here in Australia we have to import nicotine juice from overseas. Its illegal to make it or sell it here. So for me im already well used to importing nicotine juice. Everything else is able to be bought and sold here.

I am already beginning to stockpile 100mg nic juice because I always worry about being caught with my pants down :p My plan is, since I am already ordering supplies for diy mixing, whenever I order a supply of nicotine, I order two bottles. One for current use, one to date and freeze. I figure by the time any bans drop, I should have enough to get me by for a long time.

And really, it isn't paranoia. The political climate in Florida is very hostile now to anything that may be considered "illicit". A new law banning pipes of ANY KIND (even hookas and the tobacco pipes your grandpas smoked) just became effective today. As the law is written, I'm still wondering if when I go out with my ProVari today, I'll end up in Jail. We'll see :D

So ...

pretty soon, I'm going to be looking for the shady lookin' pushers that hang out in the alleys of Chicago's west side, askin can he plz gimme a FIX for my vaporizer??! LOL I bet he starts out with some high grade vape juice to get u hooked, then gives u low quality to make certain u have to buy ridiculous amounts, then b4 u know it, youre hooked. Now your family is involved, & the next time u go to a "get-together" its *really* going to be your intervention.


Anyways, thee real point I'm tryin to make is that ... laws dont stop anyone from doing what they wanna do anyways. We criminals find a way! ;)

100mg nic and similar high concentrations are used in DIY. It is diluted to 18mg, 24mg, etc.

I DIY, so I always have a supply of nic on hand, usually between 60 and 100 mg/ml. I usually buy in 120 ml bottles, which lasts a few months. Checking Wizard Labs just now for a larger preemptive quantity, say 100 mg/ml and 500 ml, my cost is only $56 plus shipping (100mg Nicotine solution - 500ml). Diluting to 12% (my current minimum) and using say 5 ml per day, that nicotine would last me 832 days, more or less. Realistically, I can spend a little over $100 and have almost a 5 year supply of nicotine. The shelf life of nicotine is about 12 - 18 months. I don't know about freezing the nic. Anyone help me on that please?

If freezing, or some other storage solution is available, I think I'll just order a liter of nicotine, and I'm good for 4.5 - 5 years, and potentially longer if I reduce my vape or nic level. That's a pretty good window. I'm comfortable with that. Anyone help with the storage issue please?

My god! Are you serious? What's the rationale for banning pipes?

This is referred to as the .... Bill.


Gov Rick Scott (R) seems to be following in President Richard Nixon's (R) footsteps, when he first uttered the fateful "War on Drugs" on June 17, 1971. Things were bound to go downhill from there.


The other (opposing) factions there are the Democrats in South Florida —trying to get certain medical herbs approved for use by cancer patients (and which are now legal in 18 U.S. states)......be careful how you vote is all I have to say.....although it doesn't really seem to matter does it. :facepalm:

I will continue to vape and fight the consequences. I am so tired of the nannyism in this country. Don't smoke, don't drink large sodas, don't eat fast food, ad nauseum! I drive truck for a living right now and I suppose I will just get a PO Box in a vape friendly area and order online as before. Or, go to brick and mortar stores for supplies. Since some big tobacco is behind some of the eliquids made, I would think they would be happy as pigs in mud that smokers are finding substitutes that contain nicotine.
