This sucks, just heard about it. Still trying to sort out the facts, but we're screwed.

Thought they just banned shipping by USPS?
You can still use ups, FedEx, and other options still right? |
|
I am not afraid
|
Just a USPS ban? I bet the other companies all virtue signal and do the same. Would be a good indicator how tied these big mega companies are to the government now.

It's been difficult to get anything anyhow for about a year now.
The last mod I got I paid thru the nose for and it was just the mod a dual battery squonk. The online retailers didn't have much that I wanted, it was all sold out. What they seem to have plenty of is the AIO things that aren't much different than the juul things. The big vape shop here has no hardware, is just getting by on juice sales. I'm hoping I'm strong enough to just stop. I ain't going back to smokes. |
|
|
Fuck it. Just going to try and quit. Not worth it. Almost out of PG/VG mixes anyhow.
No fucking way am I paying for local store made super taxed and regulated juice. Way too expensive as it is now. |
|
|
|
Yeah, it's not looking good, with all 3 big shippers saying they're going to stop shipping vape products soon. Unless companies just change their names to things non-vape related or something. I dunno.
As for DIY juice, the only issue might be nicotine. Nothing else that's used to make juice can be considered as vape-specific. |

Its so stupid that it hurts....

Just tried ordering 70/30 3mg mix. Every company is now asking to upload my drivers license for "verification purposes". Screw that, I don't want to end up in some database for the government to tax.
I will buy PG and VG locally. Nicotine will be a problem though. In the meantime, a bunch of States allow real drugs to be sold over the counter. Scumbags. |
|
|
Panic-ordered a liter of 100mg nicotine today.
That, plus my current stash, should leave me OK for awhile. I think I'll just quit after that, if nothing else changes for the better, law wise. B&M prices are already insane, so I can't imagine what prices will be once they know most people will be forced to buy from them after the shipping bans go into effect. |

Who did you buy from? I used to be nude nicotine exclusive, but they shit the bed on 3 orders in a row, so I gave up on them. Tried a couple other vendors, but they sucked too.

Anybody know what these assholes are defining "vaping products" as? I'm sure nicotine base and salts, but what about PG and VG? Flavorings? I'm sure devices are also a no go.

There's probably no way around mods/devices being caught up in the shitshow. Couldn't hurt to buy a backup or two. Same with tanks. I'm curious how the ban will even be enforced, though. |

View Quote At room temp? I dunno. Has it gotten darker? I don't think there's a safety issue (I could be wrong, don't take my word on it), but it'll probably taste peppery and harsh at this point. I always keep unopened bottles of nic in the freezer, and opened bottles in the fridge. Haven't had an issue. |

Is it just UPS doing this?

UPS, FedEx and DHL are doing it voluntarily... SO basically a bitch for vape companies to stay in business.. and individuals ordering through the mail/shipping companies... No effect on in store purchases or owning.... except the part that its harder for the stores to get products. |

Bought 2L of 100mg nic armor v3 from nude, should last me and the wife many years. Also stocked up on a few mods/drippers.
From everything I have read Flavor/VG/PG should still be good to go long as it has no nic in it. |
|
|
I spent about 900 dollars on juice, coils, tanks, and mods.
Fuck this ban. |
|
Remorse is for the dead
|
My local shop is $20ish for 60ml of juice and $15 for 3ea coils.
I just shop in town fuck it. That above lasts me about 3-4 weeks. |

So the date has come and gone, but apparently vendors can still ship via USPS? I got an email from Eciggity saying USPS didn't submit something on time, so the ban has been delayed for the time being, until they do what they're supposed to do.

States sued big tobacco and it was settled. BT was going pay the states in perpetuity. Fucking politicians can't wait to spend it and take out bonds. Out of left field, vaping gets folks off of BT and the gravy faucet slows to a trickle. What now? Vaping is the debil! It should be illigal! Won't somebody think of the children! You guys are fucked.

I must live under a rock because up until my mailbox was spammed today by all the companies I do business with this is the first I heard of this bullshit.
I'm beyond pissed. Funny thing is just last week I ordered and received some new coils for my tank, shipped USPS with adult signature. Yet the dork mailman left the package in my mailbox without me signing. Looks like I'm going to have to go back to my RDA since I can make the coils for it and they last forever. |

FWIW, Nude Nicotine is coming out with a synthetic nicotine.
https://nudenicotine.com/collections/syntha I've used their regular and salt nicotine blends for a long time and have been very happy with their products. I'm glad to see they're coming out with something that might thwart this government bullshit for a while. |
