Suppliers Out Of Stock ???

I popped in here a few weeks ago for the first time in months. I was shocked to read about the vape shipping ban that is quickly approaching. And I am in panic mode! I’ve just been happily vaping away for 8 years now and was totally oblivious to all this. (I am already stocked up on nicotine and have a lot of learning to do there with mixing my own juice. But that will be future posts) For this post my question is about stocking the batteries I currently use and the shelf life I should expect.

I have used Halo Triton with clearomizers for most of my years vaping (after moving up from G6) and loved them! When I found out they were no longer being produced, and the stock I had on hand ran out, I switched to Kanger eVod Twist VV and am pretty happy with those.

3 years ago I also had to find something similar to my Tritons, but only in auto battery because I was having surgery on both my thumbs and would be unable to use them to press a button on a manual battery. So I came upon the V4L auto Zeus with smilomizers. And I love those also, and continue to use those along with the Kanger eVod.

I know I’m old school, but I would like to use these 2 setups as long as I can before switching to and learning how to use external battery mods. (I am going to purchase and stock up on those within a week or two but that will be another post too! will need help! )

SO my question is…..how long of a shelf life would be expected out of a new Kanger eVod twist and new V4L Zeus batteries? I realize I really have no idea when they were actually manufactured, but if they were with in the last say 8-12 months or so, what kind of shelf life would they still have left? I would like to stock up on some to go a little longer before changing over to mods!

THANKS!  

For some very odd reason I seem to have lost the gasket on my Nautilus Mini drip tip. Naturally this makes the tip loose and practically useless. I do have another Aspire K1 and the tips do match but it's a hassle having to change the tip every time I want to change clearo. Looking around online I don't seem to see any Aspire tips being sold as spares. What can I do? Will any tip fit an Nautilus?  

Pleeeeze don't post here if you stocked up already or are planning to.

So, what are we non survivalist folks going to do? Planning on finishing your stock and putting vaping aside?? Using just what the govt allows us?

Personally, I have only a few months of nic and coils myself. Not sure what the govt approved list of products looks like or how to purchase.

What are your plans?  

So Aspire have announced an Atlantis 2 and Atlantis Mega along with a CF Maxx battery.
Will I purchase these? Yes! Am I excited? No!

Aspire revonutionalised the vaping world with the birth of the Nautilus. When the Atlantis arrived everyone was excited that Aspire had made a new model, and expectations were high! No way am I claiming the Atlantis is garbage, but after looking at it, there wasn't really a big wow. It just kind of looked small and boring! But performance is the main point!

KangerTech most likely Aspires biggest rivals had taken first place with their SubTank series! Although I hate Kanger! The more options and reliability were so much better than the Atlantis!

When I heard Aspire were releasing these I had high hopes that we would get an Aspire RTA with more Ohm option stock coils and a 50W 18650 MOD! But... Apparently the Mega tank and the MOD is 30mm so pretty big! Also it charges from a USB and there is no rebuild section! So all in all a few minor upgrades including drip tip changes and more airflow. But nothing that will make you want to buy one straight away. I'm an Aspire fan! I will support them and make a purchase regardless! Just think they could of done more!

One last thing! I was kind of put off of the fact they called it the Atlantis Mega! When there's Kanger AeroTank Mega! I would of thought they would make the effort and come up with something more unique!

I've had it with Fasttech.
I order $13 complete with shipping and 2 days latter they claim a shipping upgrade changed it to $16 because they made a mistake plus some items not in stock.
So I cancel the order, receive store credit and order again. Then 2 days later one item not is stock is holding up the order again while every other item is ready to ship.
So I cancel the $1.55 not in stock item and a few days later the order is $16 again and another item is out of stock. This is over a month just trying to get the order straight and waiting for replies.
I told them to keep the $1.55 they didn't give me credit for and ship it whatever way they want.
No more!  

Hey y'all I'm wanting to try out a Zenith mtl tank to replace my egoOne v2 since I can no longer get the CLR coils and am not willing to rebuild them.

I mainly want recommendations on which online stores are the best to purchase the tank/coils from. I've been out of the loop for a few years and the store I always purchased my CLRs from doesn't carry the Zenith.

Also wondering if anyone knows if the pmta is gonna have any impact on the availability of the Zenith tanks or coils in the near future? I'd hate to try it and like it and purchase more just to find out they're extinct. I appreciate any help.  

So I just placed an order for some vape gear on Gear Beast. Been eye balling their site for a few weeks now.... kinda seems like the new fasttech in a way. I've ordered from fasttech many times. Their shipping was actually quite fast when they first started selling vape gear, but that went down hill quick as they got more popular.

So I'm wondering what kinda time line I'm looking at for a west coast USD delivery of my purchase. I figured you guys could help me out as I'm assuming a few people seeing this post will have ordered from them before.  

Need a little help on getting an mtl kit for my brother.
He currently has a pen style device and says it hurts his throat, I suggested that the nicotine level might be the culprit but he says even 6mg nic hurts his throat, I'm seriously thinking that as he vapes 50pg/50vg that the pg content might be the problem.
The question is what kit could I purchase that's mtl, stock coils and can take a thicker juice.
Mtl is not my bag so I decided to ask for some advice.
Thanks  

There are definite advantages to living in or near a big city. For those people shopping around trying to find an iStick today, it seems like every online retailer is out of stock on them. Going to a B&M you will find one, but you will pay a hefty premium for it. The price for an iStick 50 full kit (including micro USB cable and charger and 510/eGo adapter) typically runs around $55 to $60 online. Where I live the two vape stores near me are asking $75 (at one location) and $80 (at the other) for it.

Yesterday I was in NYC at a vape store in midtown Manhattan and they had the iStick 50 in stock in every color.....for $65. The B&M's online store (it is one location of a chain located in several states) doesn't even have them in stock. You would think that with the astronomical rents for retail space that the prices would be high. I almost walked out of there with a MVP 3.0 since they were only asking $55 for it.

I wonder if the pricing there was so competitive since in NYC there are so many B&M's.  

There is a very old scan involving electronic cigarettes that has resurfaced. I just received a spam email today. The old scam was for cig-a-like cartomizer devices with pre filled cartridges. It appears they have "upgraded" to ego/Evod type units with tanks and bottle juice. Be advised you will be billed later if you keep the kit.
