Johnny, I’m not a quitter. I’ve got a lot of FIGHT left in me. Whether or not any of that matters? Well, nothing ever got changed by sitting on your backside. So fight, fight like this is the last time you’ll ever be able to buy anything vape related. They can ignore one but millions actually working together? If there is one thing history has proven time and time again, they can’t silence us all. I’m in it to win it!

Copy of letter I sent in on this Ban…

To whom it may concern…
I write in consern for the ramifications of this Ban that few have considered. For some time the Vapping community has worked with suppliers refining and purifying ingredients to create better and safer vapping ingredients. I fear with your ban your are taking uneducated actions that will now remove these safer supplies and force some to look into alternatives that have less than safe effects in vapping and will possibly cause individuals not as educated on dangers of some ingredients and result in the harm of unsuspecting individuals. If you had only taken the time to look into the DIY community and how far they have come to educate suppliers and consumers with the do’s and Don’t of DIY vaping you would realize how much pride many have taken to get the DIY community to it’s safest. Unfortunately now with this Ban you yourselves are removing all the work they have been doing and placing people’s life’s in Danger. I hope one day when life’s are drastically effected by this Ban and become sick because of there using supplies that were once safe till your ban took it from them you look in the mirror and realize by your actions you have placed life’s in danger.

I only have Rivers nic salt at the moment. I have a titration kit somewhere though. I bought it like 2 years ago by accident. I opened my package and at the time I had I thought they had sent me something to help me quit nicotine lol. How long will the contents in the package last? Like shelf life.

If you are talking about the titration kit chemicals it is a simple test kit. It is 2 chemicals. As long as the packets haven’t been opened should last a couple years.

Something I’ve begun doing is going to and calling vape shops in my area explaining how there stocking DIY supplies would actually help there businesses. Most seem interested but I also have gotten. Alot of the pc answer of… we don’t have any plans at this time…

The flavor ban started May 18th 2020 in NY. Most companies/vendors decided not to ship hardware either to minimize risk.

What supplies are you looking for?

So it’s not a ban but a choice to avoid any incidents/accidents?.. I was going to order some of the cheap ipv back up mods. NY isn’t available through them. Another order was for building/coils. I’ve got a couple ijoy combo rdas but need the building decks. I use the dotstick with delta 8 so need their coils wicking holes over the Nord compatible coils. Those items I was lucky enough to find on element but they’re giving me an age verification issue. Naturally I can sub some new rdas and find a decent price mod but the damn dotstick coils will still have me stuck.
I’ve already found someone who will forward me nicotine so I don’t want to ask them to do two more packs on top of.

I didn’t expect to be affected I vape at 3mg the last order for nic I did in March for 150ml and I’m still working off that. Started ELR in October 16 and have a handful of go to recipes so I fell back on the updates since as we all know, you can never have enough flavors haha.

It is a ban as far as eliquid yes but now with the federal mail ban, hardware is included. Horrible situation. You may get some Chinese vendors who don’t care but not guaranteed.

Yep they “snuck” the ban in with the stimulus bill last year.

The problem is that idk vapers in NY and our shops closed with the flavor ban so I didn’t realize the reach the flavor ban had. I planned on stocking up on hardware but had no idea companies wouldn’t ship to NY. I’d expect pages to say “items in your cart can not be shipped” if it was eliquid or had nicotine. Seeing sites already aren’t shipping to NY ahead of the ban is really discouraging
