I know ejuice itself will not be illegal in the USA once the flavor ban goes into law. I do worry that reddit as it has been trying to clean up its act in the last few years may quarantine or outright shut down this sub. It deals with flavored ejuice and if posession is not allowed a sub shut down may come. Do we have alternate plans? I know a discord is the usual route but it would be difficult to disseminate the information like this subreddit can.
"I want to quit smoking, but this unflavored juice is so gross!"
"Oh, no problem, you're an adult, you can go on the dark web to learn how to mix flavors."
"The dark web!? Why do I have to go there?"
"Well, we don't want underage people to be doing it."
"Oh, OK. So how do I use the dark web?"
"Ask a teenager."
Upvoted, but just as an fyi, I also screenshot that, and am sending it to literally everyone I know who's being nucking futs about this ban. Thank you for putting it in a simple format morons can understand.
Right now diyejuice.org is just set up to create short URL's for the sidebar but eventually, with help from some other members in the community, I'd like it to be used as an archive for the resources and contributions that have been made to the sub. Not so much because there's a lot of concern that we'll be shut down but because Reddit has inherent limitations as a resource hub.
Once we get something put together, I'll announce it here and on our discord server.
There have been subs for marijuana for ages. It’s still illegal in the US on the federal level even though it’s been made legal/decriminalized in several states. Reddit hasn’t shut down those subs. I don’t think this sub is in any danger.
I seriously doubt possession of flavored ejuice will be illegal..
I thought that's what is stated in the recent Michigan ban. Possession of more than 4 bottles of flavored ejuice could result in a fine of $200 or 6 months jail time.
There actually is a official discord you can join. Don't have the invite link but maybe someone else can provide it.
Here’s a link to the discord
You'll go to the store, buy a 60ml bottle of 6mg unflavored, and then you'll buy a dinky 6ml bottle of pre mixed flavor extract for "baking" and then your set.
You'll have to buy more bottles and you'll get into mixing as a result so if anything you'll end up paying a bit more and the industry will make more as a result.
I can imagine that right now there are hundreds if not thousands of people ordering gallons and even 55 gallon drums of nic/vg/pg and flavorings in anticipation of a ban. They are ordering tanks,carts,mtls everything by the thousands from China. When/if the ban does go into effect, they only thing that will changes is the price of a bottle of flavored juice will be sky high and you will have to buy it from the street. Thats what bans do. Cause a huge black market. It makes things worse. Kids will still be able to get it the same as they are getting it now. Just have to pay more.
On the topic does anyone have advice on how to save a usable snapshot of an entire website? Something like ejuice-recipies if they somehow get shut down?
For firefox there is fireshot which will screenshot whole web pages
You should also just be able to just save page as in any browser.
There are also archive sites like https://archive.org/details/reddit.com
But someone needs to add the site manually
Try something like Sitecrawler
