USPS, FedEx, DHL & UPS (!) Vape Mail Ban, incoming late March/ April 2021: Discussion, Updates, Info, Venting, Emotional Support

But LNW is what I started with & I am using their nic. atm…, my 1st order was as clear as water…, no smell or taste… so I ordered a bigger bottle & it’s off in color, but but it has no smell or taste… but I read tht u recently obtained a g.c., IIRC @mjag said u can use salts prior using the g.c. with no flavor altercations;)…

I think it was @SmilingOgre that clued me into salts suffering no loss of integrity with the heat and GC. I found that to be true as well, I will add my salt nic right before using the GC and it comes out just fine. I only use 1.5mg though, never tested it with higher amounts.

LNW has been fine for me but yeah, my last salt nic purchase was yellowish instead of crystal clear. No smell though which is always a good sign.

Have used 3 - 12mg salts no issue. Free base must be added after mixture has cooled.

@St3v0, and @mjag, same here with the salts.

I’ve made a LOT of juice over the past year or so with heated nic salt and it all comes out great. Zero problems with nic to report. I am using the LNW as well.

@SmilingOgre, I’m guessing they must have changed something in their Salts since Nov. 2019, as back then, clear was the color of the day…

I’ve got a sit ton of it in the freezer and it’s all clear. Can’t remember exactly when I bought them but it would have been end of 2019 - beginning of 2020.

I can’t remember if @anon36682625 & I had the Heartland Vapes/ Chemnovatic convo here or elsewhere, but since we’re on a nic kick here, I have (potentially) good & bad news from them to share.

Bad news: Ultra Premium (Chemnovatic) nicotine has been discontinued from HV. unless I’m mistaken they were the last place in the US selling it after VapersTek closed (& River discontinued carrying it years back). They said they can’t source it anymore but will still carry CNT & house blend.

Potentially Good news: in response to me asking about their future plans, Heartland told me that USPS is supposed to have some more info regarding their bans, how companies will deal with serving their customers via USPS, etc figured out by March 5th. Fingers crossed!

Hey Michele, did you by any chance see my comment/question to you on your Ultimate Cheesecake recipe? I saw it on ATF then came here and found it and wrote a comment last night.

ETA: Thank you my dear. I just saw it now. Super! I have all the flavors I need.

I’ve personally been buying batteries from either Liion Wholesale or Illumn for 6 years now - they are hardly “vapor” shops - batteries are the least of our problems…

I was just browsing around looking at nic suppliers web pages and came across this on NicVape.com - They are no longer shipping within the USA??? They are located in South Carolina. I have personally never used them but clearly they are already ahead of the transport ban curve??? image

It seems the USPS has just released an infographic.

Man…, y’all better hurry & get your orders in… I was thinking about the V.M.B. earlier & I figured since Nicotine River was having a sale, I’d pick up another bottle of nic. salts…, got to the checkout & USPS wasn’t a shipping option anymore;(… UPS @ $14.95[I think]… I know it was almost 15 fuckin dollars tho…, But seeing that, I went & checked @ LNW & ended up getting 240ml + shipping to my house for less than I was gonna pay for 150ml & shipping @ RiverSupply I wonder y they took USPS off & if any other dis. co.’s r gonna just take them out as an option… like fuck Mar.1st
