I haven't seen anything from Breazy or Eightvape... where did you see them say they were closing?

 

[Ms. Trixy]

I haven't seen anything from Breazy or Eightvape... where did you see them say they were closing?

I received an email from EightVape, which I cannot find now, stating that due to the uncertainty of their PMTA they're liquidating. I was lucky to get a Zeus X Mesh. Nearly everything us sold out.
And I received an email from Breazy about their PMTA Blowout. Inventory is pitiful. I've had a Breazy tab open for days.

I saw the PMTA blowouts, but did not see anything saying they were shuttering

Eightvape said they were "nervous" lol

Yeah, I haven't seen them say the words "we're closing" so I'm not gonna add them until we do.

 

[Countrypami]

I know Joyetech pulled JoyetchUS, EleafUS and WismecUS but their china shops are staying open, so I didn't add them either.

Giant Vapes has also been clearing out inventory, but haven't seen anything official from them yet either.

As you may know, the PMTA deadline is less than four days away.

We've tried our best, but aren't sure that our applications will satisfy the FDA's onerous requirements.

As a result, we are putting all of our Nic Salts and WTA's bottles on sale until they are sold out.

Regardless of what happens, we'd like to thank you for helping to actualize the dreams of two young entrepreneurs.

We've converted over 30,000 people from cigarettes to e-cigarettes and hope to help many more transition in the years to come.

I forgot about them. lol. I haven't purchased from them since Halo made them stop selling cloned flavoring. That was a sad day indeed.

I remember I ordered the Tornado’s. My juice was Mad Dog tobacco. My wife Nuport. ?

 

[Jimi D]

I ordered DIY stuff from time to time. Loved the Gold Standard flavorings. All memories now.

 

[5150sick]

I remember I ordered the Tornado’s. My juice was Mad Dog tobacco. My wife Nuport. ?

I used Titan Range Menthol 36mg/ml
Here's a 6 year old one...

This shit is 80/20.... PG/VG

 

[Jimi D]

Bro, I still vape 80/20 Pg Vg LOL ! I stopped vaping 36 mg when Madvapes introduced Smok dual cartomizers. I vape mtl now. Stopped cloud chasing a couple of years ago. I love good ole 12 mg.

 

[CaFF]

Sad boosh....I also used them back in like 2013 I think it was. I started to DIY in 2012, but still bought juice on sales, and they had a lot of sales.

 

[Jimi D]

Did you guys vape Habana Reserve? That was a damn good cigar flavoring. I vaped that for like a year straight.

 

[SnapDragon NY]

I wanted to give you a friendly reminder that our last day that we will be open will be on Wednesday, September 9th. For our remaining stock, we are offering 55% off all 65ml and 210ml bottles, 45% off all 125ml bottles, and have lowered the prices on apparel. Just use codeword GODSPEED at checkout and you're all set. FIY, we have lowered the total cost of the 65ml and 210ml bottles on the website, so with the 45% off code it will amount to the grand total of 55% off.

Feel free to respond directly to this email if you have any questions.

Thanks again for everything. It has been a pleasure serving you these last four years.

I've seen several that are clearing out inventory, but they haven't done any official statement release that they are closing. I'm sure we'll see TONS of them on Wednesday, unfortunately.

I'm keeping an eye on ...
EightVape
Breazy
Giant Vapes

WetVapes

 

[The Cromwell]

Not sure how the FDA can jump on retailers until after the 90 day PMTA application filing settling out time.
Aside from enforcement they have already enacted flavored disposables being banned totally and flavored Juuls and such as well.

But once they issue the list of ACCEPTED PMTA filings then they can come down big time.

 

[Tornadoalleydeb]

Oh my, Totally Wicked. They were the first place I ordered from when I started searching for vape stuff online. Sad times indeed.

​ Hey VapeWild Hooligans! As of this writing, we have just a little over 10 hours left before we sign off. So, I wanted to take one more opportunity to thank all of you again for all of your support, your orders, your complaints, your requests, your views, likes, comments, and everything else you have contributed to this great adventure over the last six years. You guys have always been why we do this. We can't stress enough how much we've enjoyed building a relationship with each and every one of you. And some of you are some real characters. We've had people send us cookies, threats, poems, and songs! We've even written a haiku or two in return. We've been able to meet many of you in person here at the office, in our stores, at industry shows, and many other events. Some of you have even gone around town sticking VapeWild stickers to all kinds of things. So thank you. Thank you for making every April Fool's day a blast. For hanging our art on your fridge. For enduring our worst YouTube videos. For joining our Facebook group and entering silly contests. For sticking with us when things got rough. And for simply being vapers. But, most of all, we thank you for supporting this industry in all the ways you do. Never give up, never give in! Happy Trails! -Everyone at VapeWild

Yeah, you beat me to posting this. A bummer even if I wasn't a regular customer of theirs.
I got their stickers on my vape-tacklebox I'd had since 2012...it's turning into a memoriam these days.

FWIW, all of their remaining swag is $4.99..couple shirts, vape bands, and hat

They be down in Texas, so here's a Bourbon and Sláinte to ya!



(The other side of that bag has a signed thank you and "Stay WIld" on it from them...pretty nice.

Moon Mountain's PMTA Announcement!

September 1st, 2020 To our beloved Moon Mountain family, We want to take this time and share some information with you regarding FDA's PMTA (Premarket Tobacco Product Application) submissions that are due September 9, 2020. It is with deep regret that Moon Mountain will not be filing submissions...

moonmountain.com

 

[Ms. Trixy]

I had a feeling VapeWild was going.
I just spoke with WetVapes regarding an order and they will still be operating. He tells me that as a vape shop he can still operate and sell what they have and that it's only the eliquid that affect him. I wasn't going to argue with him since he was kind enough to remedy my loyalty points issue.

@CaFF Yeah, I love those bags! Sad though.

 

[The Cromwell]

I seriously hope that I am wrong but from the PMTA requirements I do not expect any bottled juice to be approved.
I expect only juice in sealed pods and such to be approved.
Heck even zero nic juice needs to pass a basic FDA muster and can only be sold in sealed pods to prevent introducing nicotine.
Same expectation for any open/variable vape device.

Can't one shot flavor concentrates be marketed as non vape related?

 

[The Cromwell]

Can't one shot flavor concentrates be marketed as non vape related?

Probably as drink flavorings or somesuch.

Flavorings not labelled or marketed as for use in vaping are untouched by the Deeming regs.
Viva La DIY.

Look:

Buy One Shots in Bulk - Wholesale Flavours

Buy blended flavours from the leading industry manufacturers. One Shots are the perfect addition to your DIY E Liquid range.

wholesaleflavours.com

but that is promoting DIY aka vaping use and will be frowned upon.

However selling flavorings just as flavorings would be fine as long as not sold by a vape vendor.
a bottle of Capella flavoring sold by DIY Vape Supply would be frowned upon.
The exact same bottle sold by amazon would be no issue. Unless the Amazon ad referred to vaping use.
Intent is clearly spelled out in the Deeming Regulations.

 

[Carambrda]

but that is promoting DIY aka vaping use and will be frowned upon.

I know. But that wholesale company is in the UK so that's why they are promoting DIY, and, a similar company in the US could easily decide to not promote DIY and be perfectly legal as a result, correct?

 

[The Cromwell]

Yep as long as no intent to be used in vaping is shown and it is not a vaping related retailer selling it.

And why DIY will survive as long as they do not clamp down on Nic or tax it at $5,000 USD per liter of 100 mg/ml. afik the tax bll is still alive in congress.

 

[The Cromwell]

imho Vapers who DIY are an extreme minority of vapers in the US...
Kind of like vapers who frequent vape boards.

I suspect that PG based nic in sealed, argon treated, pure and colorant-free HDPE plastic bottles can be kept in the freezer for at least a few decades.

 

[The Cromwell]

I suspect that PG based nic in sealed, argon treated, pure and colorant-free HDPE plastic bottles can be kept in the freezer for at least a few decades.

I have about 30 years worth in 120 ml glass bottles filled to neck bottom in deep freezer.
And being 66 years old
Using oldest first (5+ years) and still clear and nice.

It is with deep regret that Moon Mountain will not be filing submissions...

moonmountain.com

"This message to you today does not mean that Moon Mountain the company, nor our industry is going away. Our retail establishments will remain open and operating as normal. Over the next 1-2 years you will see a dynamic shift in the vapor industry. We understand products not in state and federal compliance will be removed from the market voluntarily and forcefully. There will also be new products that remain or enter the market with a granted authorization from FDA. Recently, we have identified several companies who have successfully reached their goals and are actively submitting their applications prior to the September 9th deadline. Moon Mountain will adamantly support these companies by stocking their products in our retail stores. We have been working tirelessly with these brands behind the scenes to ensure inventory remains available for you on your vaping journey. After-all, the goal has always been to eradicate combustible tobacco that has claimed so many lives throughout history.

What can you expect next from us? Over the next few weeks, Moon Mountain will be winding down its online operations at MoonMountain.com. Our e-liquids will be available until our inventory is depleted through our online and in-store retail channels. Once the Moon Mountain e-liquid products have been depleted, we will begin filtering in the products we are confident that have a chance to be granted authority from FDA to remain on the market. Our retail stores in Brandon and Winter Haven, Florida will focus on remaining strong and open to serve you for years to come."

Yes but I mean, retailers can still inform their customer base, and, even if that's illegal because it's promoting DIY, then they can still just work their way around the mystery shoppers. Is handing out flyers with addresses of DIY websites not considered freedom of speech?

Hard to say, as the Deeming Regs specifically prohibit retailers from telling or showing customers how to vape

But they're not telling or showing customers how to DIY. Instead, they're only showing URLs.

Well, they are doing last-minute grab bag sales: https://www.vapewild.com/grab-sack-about-1lb-of-random-e-juice/

Getum while they last. ;-)

I'd grab one if I could, but after all this month's stuff + cat supplies and etc, I got like $14 left for the month.
Plus,I DIY...so I'm good.

This is pretty much how I see things shaking out in the end.
Far fewer choices in both products and selling places but survival.

 

[The Cromwell]

Yet another reason why I expect only pick up and suck type of vapes to be approved.
Change a prefilled pod or charge being the only things to do.
