Am I still going to be able to ship DIY supplies through USPS? PG/VG shouldnt be a problem but I'm curious about nic/flavor concentrates
Wish we knew, thinking pg, vg and flavors should be ok because those can be used for "candy making" but nic I'm willing to bet will get taken out for sure. I bought a few gallons of 100mg before the pmta deadline, and I'll likely be ordering a couple more.
Damn, I picked a hell of a time to start trying DIY. I'll probably stock up on nic/flavors instead of premium juice
That's a smart thing to do, I stoked up on juice like Jan-march but started diy in July, now I dont even like all the store bought juice I bought cause it all just tastes too sweet and ruins my coils 😹
You buy your nic in gallons?? Would it not go bad long before you had the chance to use it all?
Well ones not being used went straight into the freezer, never opened. And ones I'm using I've decanted into amber glass bottles with polycone lids, also displaced the air in the bottles with argon 👍 people in australia who've had to buy nic for a long time have said they just kept a liter in the closet and it lasted well over a year
The law directs USPS to promulgate policy, the exact wording of which remains to be determined. If we're lucky, it'll affect only ready-to-use consumer products intended for vaping. VG, PG, thermal resistance wire, cotton and food-grade flavor concentrates will be fine in any case. As for nicotine concentrate, keep your fingers crossed while stocking up just in case.
Note btw that existing USPS HAZMAT policy has always prohibited shipment of nicotine concentrate in excess of 5% (50 mg/ml) and some vendors seem to have been doing so anyway.
Is this just for USPS, or will it affect UPS or Fedex from delivering it?
Would it be illegal for a citizen to cross state lines with boxes of juice? I bring it up bc I would be willing to pay some money for the services of a huge smurf network for vaping supplies. Like a Postmates for juice.
For personal use, no. To sell, it becomes a sales tax issue. The next step would be states imposing further taxes on nicotine products - think cigarette stamps. Evading a sales tax would be bad, but a tobacco tax would be worse, especially if they assign it to a Federal agency like ATF. It looks really bad, but I just don't have any faith in government being able to effectively manage this problem. You can buy fake watches and branded goods from China and it will clear customs, you can buy Cuban cigars from Switzerland online and it will clear customs. I just think that there will be a workaround for liquid nicotine, whether it's buying it from a brick and mortar retail location or obtaining it via illicit shipping. For instance, if VG and PG are legal to ship, then ship VG and PG; if it has a white top, it's VG and PG, but if it has a black top, it contains nicotine too. People need to keep their heads up. Where there's a will there's a way, and I'm not ready to throw in the towel just yet.
If America will pass this then order from Canada or UK. U better be storing nic in the fridge or it will dissipate and be garbage. Pure NIC u need a license to buy or ur just buying a dilute form. That all changed after someone mixed and it absorb into skin and it will kill you at pure concentrate
