I guess i should be keeping up with this stuff. Thankfully i make my own CBD tinctures but for others who don’t, i feel really bad about that. Im going to reach out to some CBD vendors i know about it

I buy CBD from Lazarus Naturals. I just fired off an email to them. That would suck big time if CBD is effected as well.

The wording of the article kinda sounds like for vaping only. I’m not really up on the cbd end of vaping haven’t tried it yet, been kicking it around for body pain.

imo everything is going to be effected to the point of elimination. then, BT/BP are going to come out with their “exempt” products. they are the ones causing all of this. they want a monopoly, we all know what happens with monopolies.
you do know, that in this day and age = the rich get richer, the poor get shit on.

I think this might be the best way for us to get the answers to this issue, our suppliers should be able to let us know if they are still going to be able to ship. I’ve have about 10 emails out to different suppliers, nicotine, wire, hardware etc. as soon as I get answers from them and a friend at ups I will update

A little off topic but I have a friend who is a manager at Sourcemore and today she emailed to say that the Paypal axe finally came down on them. Their account is frozen for 180 days. Meanwhile they set up a way to pay direct into their account. The instructions are on their website. They are working on other credit card payment options for the near future. She expressed concern for their business. They are among the Chinese vendors that are being affected by the Paypal vaping restriction. I can imagine what our US vendors are going through since the ban originates from here.
On another note, eBay who used to own Paypal in the beginning is dropping them altogether and building their own payment platform. Good for them.

I’ve been collecting for 12 yrs… Mods…rdas… Flavors and nic the past 3-4 yrs…But what about people that depend on shipping to keep vaping… A shut in that finally kicked the habit…
A grandparent , anyone that doesn’t have easy access to …where ? A vape shop.? All the ones here have closed… What about smokers who desperately want or need to quit for health reasons…? What about folks like us who CAN help but are unable to anymore because we can’t get anything either. Elderly folks might depend on pods… I can make coils… They ain’t pretty but they vape damn good… But unless that pod has a build deck I can’t even do that. Some people don’t have anyone in their life… But made the switch or may want to… It’s a sad day when you want to be healthy, away from tobacco, and the land of the free says “No”.

The other issue will be that with EVERYONE stocking up, getting a ab online store that’s not sold out of base will be more and more difficult.
Like how everyone went batshit crazy over buying-up toilet paper when COVID first became a thing, same* will be happening with nicotine 
Imma email the sites I order from here in Australia to ask them if they’ve got any new info on how it’ll go for us…

it won’t be long before the CC compamies jump on the bandwagon. sure, the vendors could change their name. but it won’t be long before someone narc’s them out. mailing payment a last option ?

I just got this reply from Lazarus Naturals which sells CBD products.
While we havent heard anything for sure yet, our bulk isolate and cycling frog isolates are in powder form, which classifies them under a vape product. Again, we haven’t gotten any offical word yet, but those would be the only products that may be affected.

After being threatened with vapeageddon for the last 5-6 years, this all seems very surreal, but indeed it appears to be real. For those of you that are thinking that nicotine will somehow be exempt, I would forget about that…they are specifically doing this to stop residential shipments of nicotine. I haven’t been in a vape shop in ages but I somehow doubt they will carry liters of 100mg/ml, if they carry nicotine base at all. Unfortunately for those that vape CBD and THC products, the transport regulations are going to cripple those deliveries too.

@HVPGH so you’re going to get a rebuildable ??
If you’re concerned, and you probably should be, let’s get you hooked up with some of the “going to be harder to get” stuff now, and others later …

Yeah, brick-n-morter vape shops profit more from vape juice then anything else. I don’t see much sense financially for them to introduce and cater to us DIY’ers.
I agree that nicotine is not going to majically escape the pro-tobacco political movement.

@Jmars & @SessionDrummer thank you guys for the UPS link! I had posted it above but I incorrectly posted it as a clickable text link which def got buried in the chaos 
@robin @natbone & any others reaching out to companies, please come back to update here!! it would be greatly appreciated! I’m awaiting emails from Nude Nicotine regarding their plan & whether or not I would be able to do in-person pickups (I live ~25min from them). I have no problem picking things up & not shipping them out 
I’ve also emailed Heartland Vapes about it as I was JUST talking to them about this issue in mid-Jan & they expressed relief that they use UPS, so I’m very curious if that’s changed for them with the new announcements.
Huge bummer that CBD is going to be included as ofc I’m just trying to get into DIYing it, ugggh.
@muth such a bummer about Sourcemore!! I’m going to complete my order from them with the new method, appreciate the update 
hopefully @Nicotine_River can pop in here with some updates! worst comes to worst I only live a few hours drive from their warehouse too

Wow, you seem to be in reasonable distance to some important resources. You could start your own underground postal system and ship out to restricted areas. Screw these SOBs. I feel violated!

Being in driving range to a supplier is good, but they aren’t going to be able to rely on people like you to stay afloat. The restrictions are going to wipe out many if not all vendors who depend on retail online sales.
