$35 for 125ml. My wife and I use the same flavor from ECblends but different PG/VG configurations. I use 60vg40pg and she uses 80pg/60vg. Usually order 500ml a pop.

Late to the party but I have ordered probably 95% of my equipment over the last 3.5 years from Sweet-Vapes and have never had an issue outside once getting an extra IStick 50w in my order which I offered to ship back and they said to keep it for being such a good customer. Dayna always answers emails quickly and they stick everything I use and always get it to me in 3-4 days even with standard $3 shipping. I think it's important to draw the distinction that there are two site Sweet-Vapes and another without the hyphen that I have heard negative things about.

Thanks Tam just ordered a couple!

Ok my wife killed not one but two of hers at the lake over the weekend and is into the backup and I cannot find them in stock anywhere so a couple questions. 1. Are they still making these or has something better came along for a standard person vaping 1.6ohms at 9-10 watts. I really only use them for the great battery life they are easily broken and we are very hard on them especially in the summer between beach and staying on the boat every weekend. But they last 3 days on a charge and I like them. All the old timers know me I am a standard guy when it comes to vaping and like ease, long battery life and the way the 50w feels in my hand. 2. Both the vendors I usually only deal with are out of stock. I usually pay $34.95 for the base kit battery only. I have not ordered hardware anywhere but Sweet-Vapes in a very long time.Where do you buy your hardware? I need a few backup vendors for situations like this or maybe Chris can start to stock the stuff I use lol now that he is back at the wheel lol.

Mt Baker has been around forever. I don't like their liquids but many do.

Sounds like good news at least heading in right direction http://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-news/white-house-pulled-fda-restrictions-e-cigarette-flavors-n583841

Probably the cold and it will take time for your tastebuds to heal from the damage smoking does to them. When I put down the stinkies in early 2013 there were flavors I loved but after a few months they tasted totally different. Im not sure I believe in Vapors Tongue. I vaped one flavor exclusively for almost 3 years before switching to another exclusive flavor about 4 months ago and I never lost the ability to taste the flavor. People say you get vapors tongue from not switching up flavors but I don't buy it. I'm an"find what works and stick with it" guy. Since a couple months into my 3+ year vaping I have used a total of two flavors lol.

I gotcha but even Comp can't replicate their peppermint and I doubt they will give me their flavor formula lol plus I'm just not into it. DIY and rebuilding are not for me. At this point if find in the future I can't order what I need I will just step down the nic and quit all together.

Not sure I could DIY for much less. They hopefully are big enough to make it through vapocopolypse but I'm sure the prices won't last

Congrats Tam! Thanks so much for all the advice and help over my 3 years + vaping and a member of this community!

Well my wife and I use the same flavor same configuration so it's relative lol. It's about a 6 month supply but we have a little over 500 on hand now. Peppermint would probably be easy to DIY but every Peppermint other than ECblends tastes like a candy cane where their is more like an Altoid lol. With their ongoing coupon code 10020 getting 250ml for $28 is pretty good I think.

1000ml of my flavor 20 5packs of Aspire BVCs Just in case.....

www.sweetvapes.com for hardware www.ecblendsflavors.com for liquid No dumb advice, good prices and excellent service for me now over 3 years. Why pay markup when you don't have to?

Over three years vaping and smoke free and have still yet to spend one cent on a vape shop. VT has been my place for advice and I have saved a ton shopping online only. Not paying B and M prices or listening to their advice. Mostly it's sort of like asking an electronics associate at Walmart tax advice.

I cannot help but wonder in regards to liquid if a manufacturer could sell and submit only "unflavored" liquid then give the flavorings chosen pre-measured at no charge to alleviate some of the cost of approval? Flavorings are not regulated until they are added to the dreaded e-liquid so would that not be a potential loophole to at least reduce the cost of approval for those with the means to stay in the market after this two year and three month window? I have no idea about DIY so am not sure this is viable but it seems it could be.

Yea Im the same. I have enough IStick 50w and Vision Spinner 2s, 1s and other assorted hardware to last a long time, as long as they last which is really anyone's guess. Cant be jumping in the lake with anymore ona lanyard lol. My wife and I are set up on liquid for probably 90 days. I do not think I am going to panic or anything, go out and buy anything extra at this point and just see what unfolds over the next couple weeks.

Are we at that point where I should order a crap ton of liquid and a dozen ISticks? I have read about every interpretation of this law, possible outcomes, stalling through class action suits etc... I do not ever see myself doing DIY. Does anyone really think we will be unable to purchase hardware, coils and liquid 90 days from now? The way I read it companies would have 2 years to submit their products to the FDA and there is always a chance a federal court can override the deeming of e-cigs as "tobacco products". Just trying to figure out what "DefCon" level to move to. If it is all going to go away I guess maybe I should order a bunch of liquid in different decreasing nic levels and start the process of stepping down to 0 and just quitting vaping.

I am an old regular that rarely posts anymore but today marks 3 years without tobacco of any sort entering my body. Vaping has not only changed my health, its changed my life! Now up to 62 lbs lost, regularly go to the gym, doing 20 mile + mountain bike rides, active Boy Scout Scoutmaster and am wearing clothes I still have since college. At 46 I feel like I am in the best physical shape of my life. No more high blood pressure, 90% of my allergies gone (damn pollen still gets my sinuses) and off all meds except occasional work induced anxiety meds and too many other health benefits to list or think of. I sleep better, i snore less, Sleep apnea gone etc... I have said it before but thanks to everyone on the forum that made this possible in the beginning when it was hard. Some are still around, some are not and I am sure I will forget a name or two but special thanks to Chris, Jeff, BirdDog, Tam, Troy, Compenstine, Earthling, Bebop and the countless others that have helped make this journey unforgettable, fun, entertaining and for being the support group that have enabled my wife and I to jump start a much healthier lifestyle. It is a debt that can never be repaid although I will try if ever given the chance! Brian

After three years vaping we have simplified everything. My taste for peppermint has grown and I have abandoned my 2 year ADV and now am down to two suppliers ECblends for liquid Sweet-Vapes for hardware I don't even shop around anymore. These two have never let me down. I also have yet to buy a single thing from a B&M in my area and do not see that changing. It's just too easy and consistent ordering from suppliers with a three year track record of perfection. Also quite proud I have never bought a single thing from a non US based supplier. Just throwing in my two cents lol.

Congrats! I too rarely post anymore but a lot of us old timers have anniversaries close together my 3 year is in 4 days. It only gets easier I think; I cannot even remember smoking really.

No that is the rider in the bill in its entirety. I am sure it is because of the dreaded lithium ion batteries that are in everything else people take on planes. Vaping on planes has been banned for a while now but I am astounded they would take it this far. The hilarity in this is the rider is attached to a bill named "Americas Small Business Tax Relief Act" yet covers the crew of an airline carrying guns and a myriad of other topics having nothing to do with the purpose of the bill. It is only attached because no one can vote against relieving small businesses of some of their tax burden and why it will pass in a walk. Reminds me of the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) several years ago that was attached at the last minute with 0 DISCUSSION OR DEBATE to a "Safe Ports Bill" which passed resulting in myself and others having tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars lost that were in accounts on offshore Online Poker sites. I made a significant portion of my income playing poker online and without warning or notice all of a sudden we couldn't even sign into the sites. I ended up losing about $12k in that debacle which was not a lot to me at the time I had just cashed out over $60k to pay for a boat I bought. I deposited $1000 to start and learned, got better and made an average of $65k per year for almost 8 years which I paid taxes on and kept immaculate records in case of an audit. Then overnight it was over thanks to the Big Brother mentality of our Federal Government. Some of my friends lost $200k+ and a handful lost $500k+. I was at least smart enough to cash out everything over my bankroll each month. And its not a Democrat or Republican thing, they both suck and want to regulate us out of existence they just have different items they want "mandated" by laws and pass them in sneaky *** ways like this one will be passed. I guess I will just have to overnight some gear to the hotel I am staying in when I have to take an overnight trip for business or suffer through cigalikes for the duration of the trip. I regularly have to go to Detroit for business and am appalled at this. Maybe I will make less trips now since most are optional and I hate going to Detroit worse than to my mother in laws.

I have not been on the forum a lot, really any, lately but thought you all should know about SA3547 that is in Congress right now as a rider to HR636 the "Americas Small Business Tax Relief Act" (I know right?). It is sponsored by Richard Bluemthal (D) from Connecticut. The SA3547 rider reads exactly this way: SA 3547. Mr. BLUMENTHAL submitted an amendment intended to be proposed to amendment SA 3464 submitted by Mr. Thune (for himself and Mr. Nelson) to the bill H.R. 636, to amend the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 to permanently extend increased expensing limitations, and for other purposes; which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows: At the end of title V, add the following: SEC. 5032. REGULATIONS RELATING TO E-CIGARETTES. (a) In General.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Administrator of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration shall, in coordination and consultation with the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Administration-- (1) finalize the interim final rule of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration issued October 30, 2015, pertaining to e-cigarettes; and (2) expand that rule to prohibit the carrying of battery- powered portable electronic smoking devices in checked baggage and in carry-on baggage. (b) Definition.--In this section, the term ``battery- powered portable electronic smoking devices'' means e- cigarettes, e-cigs, e-cigars, e-pipes, e-hookahs, personal vaporizers, and electronic nicotine delivery systems. You can read more here but this is the entire rider the rest is typical bureaucratic gibberish. This is not really being contested and if not for a local Vape Shop putting it on Facebook I would not have even known about it. The only thing I could find is that this will pass very easily and within 6 months, the transportation of ANY Vaping gear on ANY flight will be banned and illegal even in carry on or in your pocket. https://www.congress.gov/amendment/114th-congress/senate-amendment/3547/text Mods can move to legislation if they want, I just felt more people would see it here and maybe take action. This is one of the widest spanning "bans" to date imo.

Made me chuckle lol

Went ahead and ordered another 50w. Now in the next 24 hours I will probably get a 20% off equipment email from Sweet-Vapes lol. Just concerned about the safety with the one malfunctioning. Think I will just take it out of the rotation and dispose of it properly. Never really liked the blue one anyway haha.

Yea it's weird these have been so rock solid for me. I may have dropped it or banged it in something it's been in use over 6 months with no issues then all of a sudden it started acting up. Should have added that as well it would have to have its own enclosed battery. I will most likely just order another one if this one keeps giving me issues but I am a little removed from what is out there since I tend to stick with the same thing and use the "If it's not broke don't fix it" approach. I have one sitting in my cart at Sweet-Vapes but haven't pulled the trigger yet. $39 is a good price but I keep thinking I will get a coupon code this week. I always seem to get one emailed just after I make an order lol.
