I may have to find something different either there has been an insane buying frenzy or there are supply issues. I just vape at 1.6 ohms and 10.5 watts and am happy with that I just want a basic battery that lasts 2-3 days like the 50w. It's not so much not wanting to try something different it's that I am 100% happy with my current setup and don't want to change it or spend a ton on batteries I know we will break or destroy in some way within a few months lol.

@ChristopherPlain old Istick 50w 4400mah we are hard on batteries and cannot seem to find any in stock anywhere is something going on with them? Can you get them? Been paying $29.95 at VapeShop and when Sweet-Vapes had them.
I really do not want to change batteries. I would buy one in black, one in silver, one in blue white porcelain and one in ripple waves if you can get them.

$35 for 125ml. My wife and I use the same flavor from ECblends but different PG/VG configurations. I use 60vg40pg and she uses 80pg/60vg. Usually order 500ml a pop.

Late to the party but I have ordered probably 95% of my equipment over the last 3.5 years from Sweet-Vapes and have never had an issue outside once getting an extra IStick 50w in my order which I offered to ship back and they said to keep it for being such a good customer. Dayna always answers emails quickly and they stick everything I use and always get it to me in 3-4 days even with standard $3 shipping.
I think it's important to draw the distinction that there are two site Sweet-Vapes and another without the hyphen that I have heard negative things about.

$29.99 each. I've ordered from this vendor several times with much success.
Thanks Tam just ordered a couple!
-
And I use Davide tanks that use Aspire BVCs (not Nautilus coils the standard Aspire BVC) I usually get 1.6ohms for $7.95 a 5 pack or $7.00 a 5 pack if I order a box of ten
Other than our liquid that's about all the hardware we order but would love to order them from you.

Ok my wife killed not one but two of hers at the lake over the weekend and is into the backup and I cannot find them in stock anywhere so a couple questions.
1. Are they still making these or has something better came along for a standard person vaping 1.6ohms at 9-10 watts. I really only use them for the great battery life they are easily broken and we are very hard on them especially in the summer between beach and staying on the boat every weekend. But they last 3 days on a charge and I like them. All the old timers know me I am a standard guy when it comes to vaping and like ease, long battery life and the way the 50w feels in my hand.
2. Both the vendors I usually only deal with are out of stock. I usually pay $34.95 for the base kit battery only. I have not ordered hardware anywhere but Sweet-Vapes in a very long time.Where do you buy your hardware? I need a few backup vendors for situations like this or maybe Chris can start to stock the stuff I use lol now that he is back at the wheel lol.

Currently trying to find two IStick 50w and all the vendors I usually deal with are out of stock I have been paying $34.95 for the base kit (battery only, got chargers). This has never happened Beth Ann managed to kill two of ours at the lake over the weekend. I have a couple backups that sometimes turn themselves off and you have to turn them back on she is using until I can find replacements. You know me well and know we are hard on batteries. Saltwater on the beach all day, floating in the lake getting splashed and my clumsy but loving wife would drop herself if that were possible lol.
Do you have any on the way?

Mt Baker has been around forever. I don't like their liquids but many do.

Sounds like good news at least heading in right direction

Probably the cold and it will take time for your tastebuds to heal from the damage smoking does to them. When I put down the stinkies in early 2013 there were flavors I loved but after a few months they tasted totally different.
Im not sure I believe in Vapors Tongue. I vaped one flavor exclusively for almost 3 years before switching to another exclusive flavor about 4 months ago and I never lost the ability to taste the flavor. People say you get vapors tongue from not switching up flavors but I don't buy it. I'm an"find what works and stick with it" guy. Since a couple months into my 3+ year vaping I have used a total of two flavors lol.

I make my favorite juice 400ml at a time prolly cost me about $10
I gotcha but even Comp can't replicate their peppermint and I doubt they will give me their flavor formula lol plus I'm just not into it. DIY and rebuilding are not for me. At this point if find in the future I can't order what I need I will just step down the nic and quit all together.

$28 is great
Not sure I could DIY for much less. They hopefully are big enough to make it through vapocopolypse but I'm sure the prices won't last 😞

Congrats Tam! Thanks so much for all the advice and help over my 3 years + vaping and a member of this community!

Dayum thats alotta juice
Well my wife and I use the same flavor same configuration so it's relative lol. It's about a 6 month supply but we have a little over 500 on hand now. Peppermint would probably be easy to DIY but every Peppermint other than ECblends tastes like a candy cane where their is more like an Altoid lol. With their ongoing coupon code 10020 getting 250ml for $28 is pretty good I think.

www.sweetvapes.com for hardware
www.ecblendsflavors.com for liquid
No dumb advice, good prices and excellent service for me now over 3 years. Why pay markup when you don't have to?
-
Over three years vaping and smoke free and have still yet to spend one cent on a vape shop. VT has been my place for advice and I have saved a ton shopping online only. Not paying B and M prices or listening to their advice. Mostly it's sort of like asking an electronics associate at Walmart tax advice.
-
I cannot help but wonder in regards to liquid if a manufacturer could sell and submit only "unflavored" liquid then give the flavorings chosen pre-measured at no charge to alleviate some of the cost of approval? Flavorings are not regulated until they are added to the dreaded e-liquid so would that not be a potential loophole to at least reduce the cost of approval for those with the means to stay in the market after this two year and three month window? I have no idea about DIY so am not sure this is viable but it seems it could be.

I am of similar thought - I don't see this happening in 90 days. There will be serious challenges to this. A lot of people will lose out in a big way and a lot more in a small way.
It is really tough getting an idea of where it goes from here. A lot is going to happen in the next couple of weeks. This Feb 2007 rules wipes out nearly all significant progress in vaping.
I'm going to sit tight for the moment except for supporting CASAA in anyy way...
If the vape community panics then it could be tough getting supplies. Except for juice I have everything I need for the next year or so...
Yea Im the same. I have enough IStick 50w and Vision Spinner 2s, 1s and other assorted hardware to last a long time, as long as they last which is really anyone's guess. Cant be jumping in the lake with anymore ona lanyard lol. My wife and I are set up on liquid for probably 90 days. I do not think I am going to panic or anything, go out and buy anything extra at this point and just see what unfolds over the next couple weeks.

Are we at that point where I should order a crap ton of liquid and a dozen ISticks? I have read about every interpretation of this law, possible outcomes, stalling through class action suits etc... I do not ever see myself doing DIY. Does anyone really think we will be unable to purchase hardware, coils and liquid 90 days from now? The way I read it companies would have 2 years to submit their products to the FDA and there is always a chance a federal court can override the deeming of e-cigs as "tobacco products".
Just trying to figure out what "DefCon" level to move to. If it is all going to go away I guess maybe I should order a bunch of liquid in different decreasing nic levels and start the process of stepping down to 0 and just quitting vaping.

I am an old regular that rarely posts anymore but today marks 3 years without tobacco of any sort entering my body. Vaping has not only changed my health, its changed my life! Now up to 62 lbs lost, regularly go to the gym, doing 20 mile + mountain bike rides, active Boy Scout Scoutmaster and am wearing clothes I still have since college. At 46 I feel like I am in the best physical shape of my life. No more high blood pressure, 90% of my allergies gone (damn pollen still gets my sinuses) and off all meds except occasional work induced anxiety meds and too many other health benefits to list or think of. I sleep better, i snore less, Sleep apnea gone etc...
I have said it before but thanks to everyone on the forum that made this possible in the beginning when it was hard. Some are still around, some are not and I am sure I will forget a name or two but special thanks to Chris, Jeff, BirdDog, Tam, Troy, Compenstine, Earthling, Bebop and the countless others that have helped make this journey unforgettable, fun, entertaining and for being the support group that have enabled my wife and I to jump start a much healthier lifestyle. It is a debt that can never be repaid although I will try if ever given the chance!

After three years vaping we have simplified everything. My taste for peppermint has grown and I have abandoned my 2 year ADV and now am down to two suppliers
ECblends for liquid
Sweet-Vapes for hardware
I don't even shop around anymore. These two have never let me down.
I also have yet to buy a single thing from a B&M in my area and do not see that changing. It's just too easy and consistent ordering from suppliers with a three year track record of perfection.
Also quite proud I have never bought a single thing from a non US based supplier.
Just throwing in my two cents lol.

The only problems I have had with them were self induced lol. Otherwise they have been rock solid quality wise.
