VapetsTek is closing!

submitted about 5 years ago by _woflx

Got an email stating they are closing down due to the PMTA. What a sad day.

I just got the email too, so sad! They have been my sole provider of nic for years. Their chemnovatic is the best I've found, and priced very reasonably. I'll probably have to buy a shit load before they close, and hope to find another good supplier.

Same here. Absolutely love their nic! I'll have to stockpile before they shutdown.

Agreed, they were a great nic supplier. The original owner, Kevin, was also a pretty good guy - he used to hang out on the DIY section of ECF back in the day. I think he was also the first to bring over the INW line to the US

For future reference, Heartland Vapes also sells the Chemnovatic brand so maybe get a small test bottle from them to check it out

Just seen their mailer, pretty bummed. Only sensible thing to do is show some support and give them the next couple years of my business with a bulk order. Good thing nic can be stored

Same here. I started DIY at the beginning of 2017, my first nic order was through them and I've never even thought about trying anyone else's.

Why is our country run by idiots?

I've seen 2 others with countdown banners on their websites. I'm so upset about it. I have know for a while and been preparing accordingly...this just makes it all too real.

Question though, if VapersTek is mainly DIY stuff, couldn't they just change their name and marketing strategy? Too much hassle?

Changing their name doesn’t evade the law. They’re choosing to shut down, it’s a business decision

I didn't mean they should evade the law...it is just that none of the individual items they sell are actually included in the PMTA at all...

Noooooo! Man been using their nic for quite some time. Outstanding product. Well, on another sad note, wismec USA store is now closed indefinitely. Sad day 😢

I don't really need any more nic but I'll still get a couple more liters from them. They've been good to a lot of us over the years.

Bummed. I used to buy their Throat Hit nic back in the day. Great group over there.

Damn where am I gonna get my INW from now?

You can order 51 different INW products from River Supply Co. and 73 from Bull City Flavors, based upon their websites. I have no way of knowing if they're out of stock on anything that they might not re-order.

VT has a TON of stuff that the other US companies don't; especially tobaccos.

If the question /u/gunsanonymous posed wasn't rhetorical, was trying to be helpful. They were asking where to get it if VT closes, right?

What’s going on with LNW? I haven’t heard anything and assume they’re going to stay open

That would be bad news for you USA guys. They are a great vendor

Nothing is happening in particular. I’m just worried now that a lot of places are going to start shutting down

They carry German Flavors DIY flavors. I’ve not heard that brand before and very, very few recipes using that brand on ATF. Are there any flavors that we should pick up while they’re available ?

Definitely sucks man. I really hope this doesn’t happen to other vendors. I love vaperstek. Great nicotine. Great prices. I guess i’ll order a couple liters even though the heat lately makes me a little nervous. I had problems with them not putting enough padding in the package before and two of my bottles showed up leaking. She said that they were looking into buying some kind of sealing machine to help with this problem. I guess others had that problem also. I guess they decided it just doesn’t make sense to keep going. What a shame man.. heartbreaking.

Everyone in here is taking about the nicotine, but does anyone know of another US vender that sells Black for Pipe? Do I need to buy a ton of it?
