I hope y'all are stocking up on nic juice and hardware. August 8th is the last day to buy that stuff.

Looks like a lot of folks will have to start making their own. It's not hard to do.

Strange, I went to the same place I always go and got the same bottle I always get just a few days ago.

You will for the next 2 years. August 8, 2016 begins the deadline for those products to be approved by the FDA at a very high price. If nothing changes in the law over the next 2 years then they'll all go away and big tobacco will control the market with their high priced substandard products.

Yes, I may have jumped the gun a bit. The FDA will start enforcing/implementing the new deeming regs in stages over the next 2 years. In reality:

Age restrictions and verifications will be effective immediately.

Nic juice and hardware can continue to be sold within a one year grace period.

New flavors and hardware are not permitted to be introduced within this grace period.

During this one year grace period vendors must submit a patent application for any/all iterations of juice and hardware the want to continue to sell.

Here is a more complete time line of events. https://www.dropbox.com/s/85k3f5tqm... Deeming Compliance Calendar - FINAL.pdf?dl=0

It looks to me like many, if not most, Mom and Pop stores will be regulated out of business. At the same time, online sales, as with cigarettes and other tobacco products, will be banned.

Big Tabacco couldn't compete, so they are using the FDA to choke out vaping due to health concerns.


Amazing.

Not only Big Tobacco, but big Pharma is losing money on nic gum, patches, Chantix, etc. And states are losing revenue from tobacco taxes.

 

[Younggun]

If you look, most of the gums, patches, lozenges, etc are made by the same companies as the cigarettes.

Phillip Morris is deep on both sides.

Decided to join this group. I don't smoke cigarettes but I do smoke a pipe and cigars. I noticed out of boredom I tend to smoke cigars more and more. Figured vaping might be a better choice with 0% nicotine liquids.

Putting down the cigarettes again and going back to vaping.

I was back to spending $100+ a week on smokes so yesterday I spent $102 and walked out with this.

good God. I started at 12mg and it took about 2 years to quit, 3mg for almost a year.

I've been at 24mg for about 6 years. Started at 12mg, went to 18mg and found 24mg to be the right one.

Does the battery last you all day? I have multiple batteries that I use throughout the day. I'm a chain vaper. Also, my batteries are only 1100 mah.

 

[Byrd666]

Damn, here I am almost feeling guilty for still doing 6mg.

YG I like the looks of that. What size tank and who makes it?

Unplugged at 730 this morning and the battery is at about 60%, it's a 3000mah battery. Only run 20w though so I don't work the battery too hard.

I went to subohm just to get pass through charging a while back.

Tobeco mini super tank. Not sure what the capacity is, burned about a half tank since last night. Think I vape about the same as you, IIrC.

Decided to move into the 21st Century and ditch the old Ego style batteries. Did some research and found the eVic VTWO mini and the iStick Pico. Couldn't decide, so I bought both. eVic on the left, Pico on the right. Both running at .5 ohms, but I'm not sure sub ohm is for me. Going to try some 1 ohm coils. The hit from these is probably 10x stronger than what I've been using. May have to cut back on nic strength too.

I've only had them a couple of days so I can't say which one I prefer. I like them both a lot right now. They are about $40 a piece, but the Pico came with a Melo III tank whereas the eVic had no tank included. I bought an Ego V2 Mega tank for it, and some 1 ohm rebuildable coils.

Both use 3000mah 18650 batts. The Pico is more compact and fits in a pocket better. It's also about 1½ oz lighter.
