USPS has postponed the mail ban
submitted about 4 years ago by BerBerBaBer

I didn't see this fact posted here yet, so I figured I'd let people know. There's still time to stock up. Nobody knows how long the postponement will be. They're postponing to figure out how to implement it.

The only think anyone needs to worry about is nicotine, and that's still going to be an issue as some of the usual suppliers have stopped. There is still Carolina, MFS and NG though.

Otherwise, the mail ban doesn't affect DIY

No matter what I do, when I add any of the selections of nicotine from NG, it says there are 5 in stock.. but when I add to the cart, a yellow box pops up and says that it's out of stock and unavailable.

I'm looking for 1L of 100mg or more nicotine salts. Any ideas??

Except the vendors like River Supply that are going out of business... or LNW that will no longer sell even PG/VG to retail customers. Yes, only nicotine should be affected, but the reality is the effect of that is kind of having a ripple effect.

LNW's main business was nicotine. No surprise there, really. No one really frequented them other than that. Yes they had flavors and what not, but they were not as popular as other vendors. I'm sure they had to weigh that against other options.

River is consolidating and going with B2B only, and I can only assume all the issues with their nicotine batches have something to do with it.

No, they aren't "just nicotine" vendors and one would think a company like river would be able to weather shit, but there are likely other issues at play with them.

You are right about the Ripple effect though. If the PACT weren't in existence, we wouldn't have these guys closing. A bit prematurely, though.

Yeah, it seems kind of weird to me that so many vendors have already stopped selling nicotine and/or have already made other related changes, yet the USPS hasn't enforced the ban yet. It seems like this is their last chance at making some money, and demand is higher than usual so they could be making more than usual, but instead they're deciding to close down shop early (with the exception of a few vendors). Then again, I suppose it might be a difficult environment to operate in (ex. keeping things stocked and available for orders, knowing the day will come when they will no longer be able to sell that inventory). Although I think they can still sell as long as they follow the new rules. I dunno, it's all kind of weird.

What's the cheapest nic sellers and do any of them double as nic sellers, flavors, one shots and bottles I used LNW and BullCity Flavors

Any suppliers that are actually still shipping though? I got two 60ml bottles before the ban was supposed to go into effect (at a ridiculous price, by the way), but that won’t last long.

yes. there's a list of vendors on the sidebar of this site.. i don't buy e juice anymore because i am making my own now. i figured that's the best way to have juice to last me longest. it's also way cheaper.

Yeah all this craziness got me to take a stab at diy. I mixed 4 testers over the weekend for the first time and they’re steeping. Hopefully at least one of them is something I like lol

by BerBerBaBerabout 4 years ago

yeah.. I'm working on my recipes. I've made many that were gross. i like most of my flavors, so i just dilute it and add stuff so i don't waste it. everything winds up vapable in the end.

same here, started making my own, and I wish i would have done it years ago! the quality is so much better and no more guessing at flavors

Hey go on All the flavors website. Its a little time consuming but you can enter all the flavors you have in your profile. Then you can click "what can i make" and find some good recipes. The easiest way to get the flavors you have put in your "stash" is to buy flavors for recipes listed on the site, and while your at that recipe you can check off all the flavors you have right there, thats what i do. I had a bad experience making my own recipes so i just use other, more experienced people's recipes. Hope this helps

Did you try prickly victory yet? Definitely a good one. Gets sweeter as it steeps though so mostly a shake and vape

Hi. Most of those vendors are no longer shipping and won‘t be. If you need nicotine, Nicotine Giant, My Freedom Smokes and Carolina Xtracts were still shipping, but yes, prices have gone up as well as added tax.

Oh same here! I should have clarified I meant nicotine salt base specifically.

by BerBerBaBerabout 4 years ago

Lmao rip, I quit about 3 weeks ago because of the ban being inc.

Well you're stronger than me lol. I ended up spending $150 on diy ingredients and supplies cuz of the ban. And somehow I've managed to make 3 juices that I actually like so far lol.

I was a pack and a half a day smoker for about a decade, and then vaped for 5-6 years.

Tbh the thing that helped me quit for real was spite.

I'll be damned if I pay 3x the price for retail juice.

So I just...quit.

Where did you read this? Last I saw, today was the last postponement. Just curious as I have things coming in from Canada and it just got to Customs today. It’s got me scared as I have another atty coming through the mail whenever the Canadian shop receives it from overseas.

I just searched for news of it and couldn’t find anything from the past week.

Has anyone noticed you can’t buy nicotine from nicotine roger anymore? Did I miss out that nicotine is non purchasable now? Just moved back to the states.. wasn’t aware of all this going on

1 points
 
by BerBerBaBerabout 4 years ago

Nicotine Giant, My Freedom Smokes and Carolina Xtracts are the last 3, i think. hurry though! lol

2 points
 
by JSlattery7about 4 years ago

Any one of them that you recommend? I can’t believe this is actually happening... I have about 400ml left of nicotine but I guess I have to stock up for more?

1 points
 
by BerBerBaBerabout 4 years ago

yeah.. I'm broke so I can't buy any more, but I think my plan would be for when I run out to buy higher level nic juice and dilute it and add flavoring

Can anyone tell me if the mail ban has been implemented yet, and if so, are there any ways I can get the nicotine and flavoring for DIY juice?

Hi. This has been mentioned. And no, there’s no time to stock up because the few that are shipping can stop at any time.
