It's a question of motivation. Plenty of people out there can't be bothered to prepare & cook their own food either, for one reason or another.If a person can feed himself, he will be able to make juice.

DIY is a bit like cooking to me. I get satisfaction from a good recipe beyond just enjoying the flavour. Defrosting and handling 100mg nic is a minor pia but nothing compared to shelling out hard earned for shop juice.It’s no more difficult mix multiple flavors than singles. Although, I have quite a few single flavor mixed that are really good. I do not settle. Either I love it or I don’t vape it.
For most of us, it’s a little learning curve about like brewing a pot of coffee, and trial and error with how much cream and/or sugar.
Keeping it simple, there are millions of tested recipes. If a person can feed himself, he will be able to make juice.
Interesting take on prepping for anything. It is a personal choice. People that live in hurricane country and fire risky areas have prepped and have a bug out plan. People that don't live in those areas have not prepped and have no bug out plan. Yet the risk is real for natural disasters interrupting our daily lives no matter where we live. With vape the national disaster is our government and regulations. It will affect us all. Yes black market everything will be there, but prices will be high and safety will be out the window. There is always a risk. I would rather rely on myself for whatever gets thrown at us.
Agree !I am.... still cheat and have a couple smokes in the morning (not proud of that at all) I need it to keep that damned monkey off my back. besides, there are actually positive things about nicotine: first it's relaxing (helps with anxiety) then it is mentally stimulating (that's why many of the famous writers smoked... it does stimulate mental activity) Get over it... is caffeine any better? I also need my two cups of coffee in the morning. Junkfood, alcohol, TV, shopping, sex, money... all forms of addiction. I don't judge. We are all adults aren't we?
Nope. I can't recall an instance of smoking the last one cig I had. I used to get uneasy when I opened the last pack from a carton. "Damn, now I only have half a day to get my backside out to the store an buy another carton!"Remember that feeling when you smoked your last cig in a pack awhile ago and you thought you had another full pack and you don't and it's midnight on Sunday and you think crap I have to run to the store for more! I hate that feeling LOL That's why I DIY and have supplies at hand
Very true, no way to carry it all, but a bug out plan would be good to have for vape essentials. Maybe have a backpack ready with rebuildables and some break proof water bottles for nic pg/VG and some flavors. Would not be hard to put together. But you are right, material goods no matter what are always at risk.Uhm, that's why I gave two specific examples of 'preppers'.
Apocalypse & Y2k.
Has exactly zero to do with your example ' natural disaster '.
To me there is a rather large difference between supplies on hand necessary for human survival and nicotine.
At the risk of going further off topic,
Your nicotine / vaping stockpile is just as at risk and or destroyed & useless as anything else you hold dear in the event of fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, earthquake / natural disaster.
If you gotta chose what to carry out to survive in the event of disaster a bottle of nicotine wouldn't make my top 100 list.
A govt regulation we all had a hand in coming to fruition shouldn't be surprising.
Vapers are a tiny minority, guess this is some folks first example of how it feels to have such a minuscule / unheard voice.
Rally round the family, with jugs full of nicotine.

Back in 2016, my wife and bailed out of our place in FL ahead of Hurricane Matthew. Most (but not all) the nic I had accumulated there came with us, as did all of my really nice mods. This stuff doesn't take much space when you're packing the cars because you think your house is about to get trashed.Your nicotine / vaping stockpile is just as at risk and or destroyed & useless as anything else you hold dear in the event of fire, flood, hurricane, tornado, earthquake / natural disaster.

That's why I have my hardware and nic stash split between 3 different houses.At the risk of going further off topic,

I keep my "working" bottle of 100mg at room temp... and I do not bother with gloves or glasses, etc.. If it were 250mg I would though.Defrosting and handling 100mg nic is a minor pia but nothing compared to shelling out hard earned for shop juice.
The nic I left behind did survive. The house had some minor flooding, which required ripping out some of the drywall and insulation on the first floor, and there was no power for over a week, but in the end, we got off easy. That said, I vividly recall sitting 600 miles north of there the day the eyewall of Mathhew passed 15 miles from our house as a Cat-3, thankful that we'd left, and wondering whether there would be anything to go back to.Glad you saved your nic!
After 6 pages, not so much.That sounds like a totally different topic than my initial question.
Personally, I cannot say with confidence that I would stay quit for any length of time without vaping. Thus I've taken steps to ensure that I'll be able to vape for as long as I care to.

Sometimes being old has it's advantages. Can't imagine trying to stock up for a 20 year old.
I think the real question is do you prep or don't you for any aspect of life. If anyone has spent any amount of time without electricity or heat or running water, you get a mental mind set about being prepared somewhat for those times. I like to keep it simple but I do have a plan just incase. Same for vapeing. I don't like being caught off guard, so I do some prepping.

I no longer need to go on a quest to find a carton of my preferred cigs every five days, which wasn't one of the most popular, universally available varieties. Up here in PA, I had my local Wawa trained to keep them in stock for me, but down in FL, finding them was always an adventure...
