All Service Personnel Have my heartfelt thanks.
I'm an  Airborne Brat and wanted to serve myself but in 1978 they wouldn't let me become a Marine Medic so I became a Paramedic in California instead. Nowadays I could scream gender discrimination but not back then... LOL  boy has the world changed. I just was one of the few who paved the way.

@smacksy Thank you for your Service as well  
 

Welcome and thank you for your Service!

@Earthling789 Thanks I'll give it a go.
I'll try the juicy orange first. There's a brand of chocolate orange jell rings that the company sells seasonally every Christmas that I'm going for...Christmas flavor year round ....
Chocolate Gummy Bears... Now, There's a thought I'll have to find some of that gummy candy flavoring!

@Earthling789   Amen to not buying analogs..
.I realized getting started would be expensive...but I never thought I'd be getting this into it. I'm having all kinds of fun...I enjoy the taste of things again and want to try them all....I think I've spent about $300 and I have to stop but I wanted to make sure that if the deeming cuts us off I had back ups.... so I jumped in the vape pool with both feet. Now I have to start behaving.
But there's just so much cool stuff.....
 

I just ordered an eleaf 60W TC and a griffin tank as well as a SMPL mechanical mod to test my builds on. I also got some TFA flavorings and pg/vg so I can try my hand at DYI juice. I also ordered a  RDA and another ijust 2 and melo III  with their rebuildable coil kits.
I spent my kids inheritance but I'm sure they'll never know cause I'm not telling!

Growing up here in San Diego me and a friend joined the Marines on the buddy system right out of high school in 1972...I was stationed at Pendleton and assigned to the motor pool as a truck driver..my buddy went on to be a court reporter stationed in the Philippines, lol
Anyway, only did 4 yrs and it was a good period in my life...thx for the reply

Just in -- two Eleaf iPower 80W 500 mAh batteries from Slo-- I mean Fasttech. It only took a month after they shipped after the several weeks on preorder.
Don't ask about it yet, it just came in the mail a few minutes ago. Like all iSticks, the casing is a little slick so when they come available, I'll be buying a wrap for it. On the bright side, with it being 500 mAh, I'll never need to recharge this thing. Ever.

Hi Gunny
I'm also a USMC vet!
You want clouds? May I suggest the Reuleaux RX200s or the 300w Koopor Primus..either with the Smok Cloud Beast tank.. cloud is typical at 125w..however the V8-T6 coil I'm using is rated up to 260w, although haven't vaped it quite that high yet! Lol

@Edna  The oranges I've used have been the Blood Orange (FW), Mandarin Orange (TFA), and the Juicy Orange (CAP)... I like the Juicy Orange because it is more like OJ or fresh squeezed flavor.  If the flavor gets muted by the Chocolate, you can use Citrus or Citrus Punch to get the "bite" back into the flavor, but if you want more of a Christmas-candied-flavor, you'd probably be better served with a candied orange flavor (not sure if one is out there), or you could candy it up a bit by adding a little sweetener, caramel, or a Gummy-candy flavoring to give it that after-taste you're looking for?  Hmmm... Chocolate Gummy-bears... sounds interesting

Hi Folks, 
The following products have been added to the store: 
Umwell Crown 2 UD Goblin Mini Mini Volt 40w (It's so small!) JoyeTech BF Coils, various ohms Geekvape Avocado Kanger KBOX 160w TC Sense Herakles RTA 2 LG HG2 35a Fuchai in Orange We've got more stock on the way next week  (The Q4 coils went darn fast so I've got a bunch of them in route) Also we've managed to track down a few partners for drip tips. We're working to expand a single category for these. So far we've got wood, delrin and metal drip tips lined up. Some of them are purty  

Cool!  I am glad to know that.  I will be mixing up a 120ml tonight.
I really hate to say, that you are only seeing a small part of it.  I have all of my Vapocolypse stash (mods, tanks etc) in a locked gun cabinet, and keep my nicotine in the freezer.
I redid my office a few weeks ago (at my wife's urging) and put all of my vape related stuff in these 2 built in desks (to the right of my desk).  It makes it nice so I can close them off so nobody sees them, and I can also lock the side my mixing stuff is on.  It keeps the cat and grandkids out of it.  I glad she made me do it, as I am really enjoying it.


 

Damm you got quite the stash I thought I was bad LOL

17 flavors and a Gallon of VG.  I not really sure about the VG, but it was pretty cheap, and it tastes good.
 

I like that Istick mini

Edna, the TFA DX Peanut Butter is a bit creamier than the standard PB, so it's not as "harsh" and "dry" tasting, IMO...  When I mix my PB cups, I use equal parts (8%) PB and Milk Chocolate, or if I'm using Dark Chocolate, I use 25-50% more (10-12% volume).  Of course, it's mixed to my tastes, so you'll mix to your own liking   But, the DX PB is a much smoother, creamier blend without the harsh/dry nut taste... so you may not need sweetener, too? 
Also, if you're using Dark Chocolate, sometimes adding a little Dairy Milk flavoring (TFA or CAP) will smooth it out and add a touch of sweetness without a "candy" feeling to the mix... Marshmallow does the same thing too, but a little sweeter.
When I'm doing chocolate covered fruit flavors... like my favorite, Chocolate covered Raspberries... I use 12-15% Milk Chocolate and 10% Sweet Raspberry, and sometimes add 3-5% Bavarian Cream to smooth it out (all TFA).  Cherry, Orange, and Strawberry are all strong fruit flavors, so if I were making those with chocolate, I'd drop them to 3-5%, depending on how strong they are.

Chris, how is the VT shop handling the ID thing?

Hi and no worries!
I learn a lot reading all of your posts and I'm sure I haven't made a stupid mistake because of them   I'm still fairly new to vaping and appreciate any advice I can get and you're all very generous with yours. Thanks tons!

The stores will not have to get PMTA unless they manufacture something on their own. What the stores will have left to sell after PMTA is the real question. There's a good chunk of US manufactures that likely won't go through PMTA. Same goes for liquid manufactures. (The smaller guys and probably some of the mid sized operations) There's one owner I spoke to, who I won't mention, who has done well in the vaping industry. He can technically afford to go through PMTA but it would kill him if his PMTA was rejected and required another run. (In which case you have to pay for the PMTA application all over again) So, his plan is to simply retire out. It's a fairly major brand too. I suspect you'll see a lot of that. 
Companies like Kanger for example are planning to go through PMTA though it likely will be on a select number of devices and coils. (As every item needs PMTA) 

We all had to start somewhere.  I was fortunate enough to stumble across these forums not long after I started vaping.  I learned a lot, picked up on some things quicker than others and have enjoyed my time here.  Paying it forward by passing on my own experiences, knowledge and opinions is my way of repaying those who taught me. 

I was at a local B&M that also does very well online and was talking to one of the owners. He said that they're going to be cutting out some of their flavors that aren't big sellers to limit the number of applications they'll have to make and holding "workshops" for people who want to learn to build or DYI before the stuff really hits the fan in Feb. (He's doing this by word of mouth and in store notices)
Although he can't and won't be touching anything and it's more of an educational process. I hope he's not going to get in trouble for it. On the flip side though, it's really nothing different than watching a youtube video just live.I have to respect his motivation to help people stay off analogs.( I also think it's brilliant because I'm sure he'll have the FDA fear factor of  losing the right to vape and have new stuff to sell his stock.)
I know I won't be shopping online if I have to send a picture of myself holding my ID to anyone. I'm stocking up and praying for a reprieve.
