Just sent (another) followup email about an order I placed over a week ago not being fulfilled yet, and mentioned being nervous about not getting it before the ban at this point. In the rep’s reply she mentioned them removing nicotine from their webstore monday, so if you use them you’ll wanna get your order in before then!
Yeassir made my purchase of 100mg last weekend. I guess this is it huh boys. Fuck the government for ripping vaping apart.
Daaaamn! That's seriously pretty crazy. Awesome of you to report back here with the news! Thankfully I'm beyond good on nic, but anyone on the fence about their stash should take advantage of their sale that ends today.
Once the nic is gone, it's up to all of us to help keep them in business by ordering our supplies & flavors from them & any other company affected by this ridiculous ban.
Yep. I ordered a decades worth of nicotine according to that one calculator lol
Sigh This is so ridiculous. I'm really tempted to leave this subreddit not because it's bad, but because everyday there's some new bullshit with which to contend. I placed an order with them a couple days ago. This is getting so absurd. Can't get eliquid, can't get a device, can't ship, now can't even get DIY, so f-ing stupid. So many problems in the world to solve - just leave us alone for crying out loud.
This sub is only trying to help...you can't ignore problems.
Agreed. It's just misplaced anger. The ineffectiveness of government to stop illicit drug and firearm sales, robocalls, tax fraud schemes, pollution, etc. contrasts so drastically with the speed at which they have managed to kneecap a legitimate industry that registered with states, employed people, then registered with the FDA for PMTA purposes is just too frustrating to rationally articulate.
Seriously tempted to say "Marlboro Reds box" to the store clerk
I hear you. The problem is that vaping is so much nicer than smoking. I had a smoke about 3 months after I went full time vaping. The taste and the smell were disgusting and then I coughed for like an hour afterwards. Vaping helps you quit and is better for you, unless you're the government, then it's just evil incarnate.
I placed an order today. I should have about 3 years worth in stock. I think nic will always be available for those who want it badly enough. But whatever workarounds develop, overseas vendors, alternative shippers, black market, etc., I think prices will go through the roof.
Thanks for the update. I placed an order Sunday and just kindly asked for an update on when it would ship earlier today.
Edit: Yeah, I was told that they are working hard and not to worry as all nic will be shipped b4 regulations take effect. My order was fairly simple, about 1/2 dozen flavors and a liter so it's on the way today. Nice people over there.
I kind of assumed they'd get all nic out b4 the regs, but a few orders back UPS lost it, but after a week got a replacement. I'm not sure how that would work this time if the replacement is done when the laws are in effect.
Wow thanks for the update. Definitely feel great stocking up with my supplier for the St Paddy’s day sale. Should have roughly around 8 years worth of nicotine. Planning on cutting down to 1.5 mg’s from 3mg to potentially double my stock. If your hesitating today is the last day for the sale mentioned!
Thank you, ordered. I'll be good until another presidential administration now.
Just as an FYI this legislation was passed with the previous president in office, as part of the second stimulus bill.
Representatives on both sides are anti vaping, I can only assume due to that sweet big tobacco and big pharma money they all have access to.
They processed and shipped my order very quickly. However, they only shipped part of the order. In this case they shipped just the nic but haven't shipped the bottle of VG. I'm assuming they're trying to get through nic orders as fast as they can and will come back around and ship my VG at a later date. I hope so at least. Anyone else run into that?
Yeah same here. Essential depot vg on Amazon is good stuff. I ordered some to hold me over.
Good to know. I still have some VG left but I just ordered some while I was placing my nic order. If I start running low before they ship I'll definitely check out Essential Depot on Amazon! Thanks for the tip.
Glad I put in my last order. A gallon of 100mg. Calculator says it'll last 20 years at my consumption rate. Really hope that's true.
2 gallons of 100mg and I still have: a half liter of 48mg hit salts, a liter of 48mg smooth salts, and a liter of 48mg pure nic. This pisses me off though, as I was going to order another 2 gallons on the 25th... I mistakenly assumed that the post ban wouldn't take effect until the 1st, and that nothing could be shipped after that date.
Yeah your set! I ordered 1 gallon and 2 liters lol
Excellent! Before I ordered my final 100mg gallon, I bought 2.5 gallons of 3mg unflavored. But I knew it wouldn't last as long.
I just ordered a half liter of 100mg. Though about getting a full liter. I think a half liter should last me about 5 years, if my calculations are correct. Hopefully by the time I'm through this there is either acceptance of nic vaping, or I'm ready to quit altogether. Oh well, I've kicked the can down the road far enough to not worry right now lol.
what is the promo code? would like to get an order in tonight.
Automatically applies, supposedly
Yep exactly why I have over a half gallon of 250mg nic salt....hoping to bring my levels down so it will last me 20 plus years but let’s just keep our fingers crossed they figure out something for the future vapers..sad such a proven stop smoking aid but they are making it increasingly harder to buy outside of buying from “big tobacco” (juul, vuse, etc)anyways happy vaping my friends and just remember a juul is still better then a cigarette if push comes to shove unfortunately
Vaping has been the only thing that has gotten me off cigs. They’ll push the hell out of Chantix, meanwhile when I tried it, it made me go so far off the deep end my own mother begged me to go buy a pack of cigs and stop taking the meds. Such a shame our country is run by lobbyists
Thanks for this! Did she give you any indication of how backed up they are?
Nah, I’m hoping my first order ships today tho. She previously told me it’d be going out this week, placed it on 3/11 (ranch up)
Thank you! I’m in no hurry just more curious what I’m looking at timeline wise❤️
You think we'll still be able to pick up in person
I live on the east coast and have reached out to a couple of nicotine manufacturers. And that is the key, you want manufacturers not just resellers. All have said that in-person pick up, with valid ID of course, will be possible. You preferably want to find those that supply critical nicotine which is used in patches, gums and the legal shit they would prefer you bend over and take. The manufacturers are the ones that really want to keep our business. Reach out to family, friends, etc if you are not close to a manufacturer. The black market isn't something we asked for but it will be what we will need.
I asked my local B&M if they would be interested in making liter or higher nic orders, since my wife still buys coils and premade juice. The guy working was like; "Well, I'll let them know..." I have a feeling they aren't going to be terribly interested in helping out a DIY'er...
I'd imagine a $50 liter from nic river costs $500 in b&m, I had some bad memories with this places, this scares me, a manufacturer that'll deal sounds good but we're all the lucky ones who knew and were able to act, the damn people who still don't know they're vapers yet... I know we live in a shitshow but this really hurt for me
East coast too, didn't really consider in person pickup before I filled a freezer with a few varieties, where are some options yall are talking about?
I also think hiliq will continue on if we can't figure to help each other somehow. Still legal to mail these products up to 10oz ten times per month
I contacted NicVape in South Carolina and Carolina Xtracts in North Carolina. NicVape said in person is fine, with valid ID, and to call ahead and they will have it ready for you or they would send it out to a few different stores in SC they have agreements with. Carolina Xtracts responded simply with "Yeah, that's fine"
I want to know this as well. It's a 3 hour drive but I'm down
I am fully prepared to take the family to an all expense paid tour of a nicotine manufacturer. In fact a place I like to vacation that is a 4 hour drive has a manufacturer that if you call ahead will have what you want waiting for you to pick up. Perfect no but if you are hooked on nicotine, and get it from DIY, then this is your best option going forward.
Hey we can still order VG and PG from them after the ban right?
Fiiiiine, one last order to round out my hoard! At this point I don't need any more but it gives me peace of mind to know I have it. I've got enough delivered and on the way to last, realistically, for the rest of my life. The real question then becomes whether I can keep it fresh for that long. If something fortunate happens and they find a way to ship in the future, sorry I'm all set!
I did the same...out of sheer OCD. My freezer storage box holds 48 of the 30mL bottles and I bought 1 liter of 100mg nic a while back, which filled exactly 32 of the spaces in the box. I had to buy another 500mL of nic to finish the storage box... According to the calculator, it's 27 years worth! I'm sure this will all blow over before that. And if not and I croak before that runs out - I bought green "poison" skull and crossbones stickers for them all incase my kids have to clear out the freezer in 20 years. Haha
>I did the same...out of sheer OCD.
Nice stash, nice organization! That's actually exactly what I did with this last order as well, prompted gotta do this now by this post about the Monday cutoff. I ordered one more liter, enough to fill up the extra 2 16oz. Boston rounds that I'll have leftover from my 24 bottle buy. 2 boxes, 12 per box, I was feeling really antsy about that extra two slot emptiness! Doing the math it's enough to last me well into my 70s with a generous 30ml a day allowance, assuming it keeps fresh that long! If not, fuck it, but I fully intend this to last the rest of my life.
Can US-Americanos not order from other Countries?
likely not if its from a vape vendor. We dont yet know how they will handle it at customs. I'm sure theyve prepared for that
Hmmm!
Nicotine is widely used and needed for countless Stuff.
But “normally” it is under the law for Pharmaceutical Products.
Here in Japan i can freely import 120ml per Shipment for personal use.
Anyway, it is a kind of repressive criminalization of the Vaping Community!
Hope you all find a way
Just bought another liter of 100mg nic solution...4 year supply for me.
Ordered 2 separate liters in the past 3 weeks. Both batches were clear and mostly tasteless. I cant seem to really taste nic unless it's bad so yeah. Awesome people at river supply. Dont hesitate to make an order if you need more nicotine. There was a slightly nutty aroma, I dont know how to describe it though really because honestly I only noticed it the first time I opened it before separating it into glass.
End of day, nicotine is nicotine and meets my needs regardless of type. River Supply has fairly generous prices and if you need to bulk up on a budget they're great.
The end is really here. This is insane.
Yeah it’s a drag. I got enough nic for ~6 years worth of juice. If I don’t quit before then, I’ll know it’s time when I run out
Ive been vaping for over a decade. You won't believe how many "bans" I've been through, yet nothing happens. Just last year, a nationwide ban on flavored eliquids went into effect. All flavors still in vape shops.
> Just last year, a nationwide ban on flavored eliquids went into effect. All flavors still in vape shops.
Because there is no nationwide ban on flavored liquids.
There is, however, a ban on flavored pods which is why you don't see those in vape shops anymore
That's sort of the point and why I brought it up. You know how many limp dick "bans" there's been the past decade? Yet people still spread that fear mongering and buy gallons of nicotine. Good business for Nic River I guess.
There was no nationwide ban though.... I want what youre vaping.
I remember something about it. That's the point. Everyone freaked about that too. Every year it's something that's getting "banned". But cherry pick that part of my comment, instead of refuting that this is another limp dick ban that vapers are going to spread fear mongering and clutch their 18650s.
Now be a good vape doomsday prepper and get that chest freezer full of gallons of nic.
But there wasnt a ban. That is the point. It's not cherry picking, it was the basis of your entire comment. Youre remembering shit that didn't happen.
Shits not allowed to be shipped in the mail. I'm not sure what you think is or isn't going to be going on here.
