Hello everyone. I was thinking the other day about these new regulations that are coming down the pike as it were, and something crossed my mind. I feel compelled to talk about it. The government wants to classify vaping as a tobacco product and if we know anything about smoking, we know that this will open the door to all kinds of industry crushing regulatory rules that will put all of us DIYers out to business quickly. Here is one thing that they could, and probably will do, that will kill DIYing in one fell swoop.
The government could make it illegal to ship nicotine across state lines without an expensive license. This is the one rule that can kill vaping and DIYing all at once. If they make it illegal to ship nicotine, we won't be able to buy it from online suppliers unless you live in the state that the shop is located. That means ECIG Express and Bull City Vapor are out of the question for supplies, unless you vape zero nicotine. Just think about that for a moment.
I was listening to a podcast from Wayne form DIY OR DIE, and I came up with an idea. It might sound a little off the wall, but it might be time for us to start thinking outside the box here. We only have 3 months, so the time to act is quickly. What if we came up with a calculator to calculate how much nicotine we would use for the rest of our lives? People please bare with me for a moment. LOL. If there is anyone reading this that is good with creating calculators, if you could come up with a calculator where we could input the present date, then have an input for how many MLs of juice you vape per day and at what nic level, then add this number up over the course of a lifetime, based on the average life expectancy of 78 years, we could then get a rough estimate of how much nicotine we would need for the rest of our lives.
I know that this might sound a little crazy but we have to do something to protect our selves. If there is anyone that could help me create this calculator please let me know. Then maybe we could make this a sticky, give this person some credit, hell I will even make you a 120 ml bottle of juice and send it to you!
Now let's just estimate here, I'm just throwing out a ballpark figure because I really have no idea, but lets say that I would need 1.5 gallons of 100 MG Nicotine to last me until I am 78 years old. I could in reality, purchase this amount now, add some argon to it, and store it in the deep freeze for practically years and years, so that once they make it illegal to buy nicotine, I am giving exactly zero f&^ks. Think about this.
Everyone please chime in on this and lets start a conversation because we may be coming up on a time where we need to do exactly this. I love each and everyone of you and I feel so much gratitude for the love and welcome that you have given me in this community.
UPDATE
I was just listening to a podcast and there was a chemist from Penn State University that stated if nicotine is kept in a glass or stainless steel bottle and stored in the freezer the storage time is indefinite. Indefinite to me means FOREVER. So there you have it folks. I am going to be purchasing 5 liters of Vaperstek nicotine, transferring it to stainless steel bottles and storing it in the freezer. Once I run out of 5 fucking liters of 100 mg nicotine,... Well lets just say that if I am still alive, I will cross that bridge when I get to it. So get to it people, store your nic now before it's too late. Our government is going to do what they want to do because this is bigger than advocacy. The bottom line is that they have been bought and are now owned by big tobacco and big tobacco doesn't give a damn about us.
