all is not lost, you have options. 1 of them is your kids, perhaps. if they have a bunch of friends, surely some of them vape. probably they are not prepped. so, they will be selling or giving away gear that they can no longer use. that is where you come in. have your kids keep an eye out.

I truly hope things get better for the both of us…, yeah…, no luck with the kids, mine are 11 & 12!
Believe me: I would’ve stocked a hell of alot better than what I did, but I haven’t been able to!, for a while now because of all the bullshit!.., I usually try & stay stocked. But the way things have went & are going, I see myself going back to cigs in close to 3years ;(… Lord help us all! Wish me luck everyone;(…

When I first heard about this I went into panic mode and started looking at all I would need to purchase. Now, I’m not too worried about it. I have plenty of mods, RDAs, Tanks and wire. Flavoring, VG, PG shouldn’t be a problem. Nicotine will be a problem, but I’ve been wanting to quit that anyway. Aside from housing, food, water and air, I really don’t want to become dependant on anything. If the vape-end does occur, I think I’ll just move past it. If I could quit cigarettes after 30+ years, I can live OK without vaping too should it come to that. Spending thousands of dollars in panic mode, just seems foolish to me. But then again, lots of things seem foolish to me that make perfect sense to the majority, so don’t listen to me!

I need it…, before I switched to vaping alone, I was smoking cigs & alternating from vapor to cigarettes & when I wasn’t doing either of the two… I had a dip in my jaw! I’ve got it bad! I feel like I really need the nicotine… all the time… my mod hardly ever shuts off… I vape all day;(…

11 & 12, hmm, yeah. but again, all is not lost. 11 & 12 y/o’s have older friends, friends/family of those friends. certainly your kids are edumucated on vapes and know you vape. and idk how you feel about them knowing, but maybe you are ok with asking them to keep an eye out. if you have enough to last 3 years, certainly “something” will come your way to extend that in that time.

No1 in my family vapes either;(… as a matter of fact, I recently found a disposable in my daughters room tht she got from a friend & she had a cord plugged in the wall & the wires stripped off the ends, sitting in the disposable…, like it was gonna charge… WTF?? I told her she was gonna blow some stuff up or start a house fire doing something like that

I would hate to have to switch back…, as I have no interest in a stinky fuckin cigarette! I purchased a few mods & stuff thru some New year sales & all, but if this ban shit plays as planned, I figure me & the ol’ lady got about 3yrs. worth of equip. (Tht’s if nothing tears up[hopefully not])& after tht I will more than likely go right back to cigs, I hate it but I’ve just gotta have nicotine…, I got nic. fits bad[not like I show my ass or anything…, I just can’t really concentrate on what I’m doing, I start getting hot & itching, etc…] so I gotta have nic all the time! My mod hardly ever shuts off…, the longest it’s off is when I sleep & thts only about 4-5hrs., or while I’m at work & tht isn’t very long… Before I completely switched to vaping, I smoked, vaped & dipped…, nicotine is VERY addictive!! & with vaping, there isn’t all the health risk tht come along with it…, so I vape;) j didn’t plan on going back, but anyway… LONG STORY SHORT(sry so long btw…) when I use the supplies that I HAVE stocked tht will be the end of it for me… then cigs. it will be ;(…

Paying it forward is a wonderful thing. A good friend set me up with my first kit and juice. That was on September 29, 2013. My quit date is September 30,2013. Because of that, I have bought starter kits for about 10 folks. Some still smoke, some smoke and vape, some just vape. I have felt and been blessed in many ways, so it is fun to pay it forward when possible, in a variety of ways.

Hopefully before then there will be avenues to get mods etc. if you can stock up on nic that will be the route to go as I think that will be the hardest hit of all. With another round of stimulus checks coming should be soon and tax refunds maybe you can purchase more before the ban takes effect. I have a feeling that orders placed by ban date we should still receive even if ordered close to date because companies will start leaving company names and any out of box labeling off packages so deliveries of last min packages are still delivered. That’s my hope anyways.

Sorry Pete, I just saw this now. Two old school G2 liquids called Carny4 and Vazilla. I had been chasing down a coffee favorite of mine called Stacked by Fivefold Vapors and low and behold they just posted their popular recipes on their FB page because they moved into the hot sauce business and decided to release the recipes to their loyal customers. Turns out that Stacked was only 3 flavors, 2 OSDIYS flavors and 1 TPA. Something tells me the first two I’m chasing could be familiar flavors as well.
