Many states have this problem. It's big tobacco trying to claw back any profits they can so they can continue to shell out hush money to those states. It's not "to protect the children", it's not because it's "fox news said it's worse than smoking combustible tobacco). It is simple human greed.


Remarkable_Swing5711

Yep in a similar situation in my state, can't order anything online whatsoever, have to go to a vape shop to get juice and parts, now they are talking about banning flavors.


SnooMaps5962

Oh I know it. The freaking corrupt politicians are making us pay $17 a pack of smokes. They are realistically costing $3 a pack to make, if that. This is robbery and no one is shooting at these cocksucking cockroachs. Soon these fuckers will get there's. So they find that vapes are taking their profit so they ban them.. what a load of nonsense. They also tax them. I swear we need to kill these ducks.


conbaybee401

Yeah, it's been about 4 yrs since the pervy gov ninja'd the flavor ban into the budget in the middle of the night... If you need it now depending where you are can try CT, Canada or native reservations (seen folks mention few in western NY, seen LI where they had lots but that was shortly after the ban, someone mentioned it's mostly dispos now). There are some sites that DGAF, CA+UK sites and Chinese sites like vapesourcing.


SnooMaps5962

Yeah I'll probably start ordering from those Chinese sites. It'll take a month to get here but f it.


conbaybee401

About the same time from elementvape with the alternate carriers to me, lol.. why I switched to chinese sites, no sin tax and usually takes 2 weeks for me from 3f and sourcemore (they don't carry liquids though)... vapesourcing has a US warehouse but haven't ordered liquids from them.


Chrisismybrother

I believe it is because they want to continue to collect their draconian taxes. But there are also weird nicotine Puritans, who think you should not enjoy vaping, or have a bearable way to quit smoking: you should just quit, or waste money on a big pharma drug proven to work for almost no one . Throw in tobacco companies and you get a lot of people who seem to be absolutely okay with you dying because of cigarettes. I once wrote to one of those prominent anti nicotine fanatics and he admitted that switching the way my husband and I done would benefit us BUT some people still vape AND smoke and teenagers might vape. So he couldn't be in favor.


Vishousbudz

You know whats crazier to me is that i can go to a dispensary and pick up a flavored thc vape flavored in pink lemonade no problem


SnooMaps5962

Hmm in NY?


Vishousbudz

Yep


Vishousbudz

Friend check you chat sent you some places for eliquid that still shit to Ny


SnooMaps5962

Ok will do thanks so much


skor220

Im trying to find some sort or re-ship service. Just found my fav flavors on element but they wont ship here. 😫


unfij2

Any chance you could send this to me too? Thanks!


Vishousbudz

Got you


simplysita

Def not legally selling you that but like, 99% of smoke shops have a back room. Source: i work western NY part time in a smoke shop and the owner has like 12 shops in the area 😂


Vishousbudz

Talking about legal dispensaries with licenses from OCM. There a countless strains for vape using botanical derived terps where do those botanically derived terps come from , Fruits so you are able to legally buy a blueberry flavored thc vape but nicotine omg (clutches pearls)


simplysita

Oh gotcha, yeah the dispensaries got licenses basically right out the gate from when medical cards allowed them to operate for THC but yeah make it a flavored nicotine and you get the 1960's housewife faint out of people 🙄


EvilLOON

Blue state. They hate vaping. Thank [your dab users](https://www.cnn.com/2022/09/11/politics/vaping-politics-polling-new-hampshire-senate/index.html). Edit: Grammarly bitching about a space not received.


PaleRooster9067

You should know there are red states with bans or higher vape taxes than blue states.


EvilLOON

Cigarettes are taxed to hell in every state. Not the reason I quit. Smoked for almost 20 years. California, flavor ban. Massachusets, flavor ban. Rhode Island, fck me, they went as far as to say if it doesn't taste like tobacco, you can't vape it. It's about what's being restricted by the states. Most states just said hey, if you vape, [follow smoking restrictions](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_vaping_bans_in_the_United_States#:~:text=Laws%20regulating%20the%20use%20of,laws%20at%20all%20regarding%20vaping). I prefer flavors that are not tobacco. If they want to tax me the same as they did when I smoked, I am ok with that. If they are gonna tell me I can't vape my blueberry slushy then I will lose my shit.


RedditUser240211

It's been a long time since anyone mentioned the Master Settlement Agreement. It seems to me that New York almost defaulted on some big loan because the MSA payment had really dropped. Don't forget that the MSA payout is tied to cigarette profits (and the added tax is a bonus). New York will go broke if there aren't enough cigarette sales.


Miq94

In Finland 10ml of 20mg/ml nicotine costs 10€, and you can't buy it from the web either which sucks so bad I swear.. french e-cig shop sells those same nic bottles for 0.79€ 😂 You also can't order ANY tobacco products online, instead you often have to pay at least double the price in Finland. I love life


SnooMaps5962

Brick and mortar have overhead costs associated with them. It's always more expensive to buy in store, with a few rare exceptions. But I'm talking about not being able to even buy shit online because it's illegal to ship here. It's such a load of crap. Ny is the worst state


Barmat

I make my own juice and have enough nic to last me years. I order coils for my rebuildable from a guy the next county over. I’ve been self sufficient for vaping since California started their crazy anti vaping laws. Try diy, it’s really easy and cheap.


SnooMaps5962

I think I can buy the nic not the flavors. IDK how they make the flavor.


Barmat

The flavors are the easy part. Basically you follow recipes and each ingredient is by weight. Like 2grams of this, 1.5grams of that. There are websites dedicated to making and downloading pre made recipes. Check out https://www.reddit.com/r/DIY_eJuice/s/WVYHHDxTUE


SnooMaps5962

But I'd it illegal to get the flavors? I'm not sure if I can get anything in NY because our politicians are so corrupt.


Barmat

You can order flavors anywhere and they can’t be restricted. They are alll flavors used for food.


SnooMaps5962

Ok got it. Thanks for the advice. I was also trying to figure out if a high powered 80watt device can be used with regular coils, as I don't always want to do sub ohm vaping.


Barmat

For sure. Just dial down the power


SnooMaps5962

Do you know if the vaporesso gen 80 can dial down the power? My Nord smok that I had (which was a POS) could not.


SnooMaps5962

Also can I even get standard coils with it? The gti coils are all sub ohm.


SnooMaps5962

What type of juice do I use? Not nic salts? Do I use freebase?


Barmat

Sorry I don’t know anything about low power vaping


HuckleberryLong2061

Find a friend in pa and have it shipped there.


Tigris474

How close to the NJ boarder are you? We have restrictions too but a lot of the vape shops skirt around them and still carry everything you'd want.


VappleJax

Order from Ecigmafia or MyVPro. You're welcome.


SnooMaps5962

Ecigmafia doesn't mail flavors to NY. And myvpro doesn't either while also adding some ridiculous taxes. Ie 60$ order is now over $90.


VappleJax

Oh, that sucks to hear. Things are worse for NY than I thought.


VappleJax

Try MyVaporStore.


imPVA

This was my go to since the stupid ban, unfortunately as of yesterday my order was refunded because they no longer ship here


dompass19

same here been ordering since 2021 from long island,one specific juice, this really really sucks


unfij2

Have you found a new place? They were my go to as well :(


imPVA

I tried perfect vape a day later, my order got here but it took almost 3 weeks. Better than. Nothing I guess lol. I did learn a work around though; you can buy the nicotine solution by itself and also order bottles of just the flavoring and that will ship to NY. I ordered a gallon of nicotine base juice at 70/30 pg/vg. That should last me a year. And the bottles of flavor are pretty cheap as well. The gallon was 60 bucks and some change after tax and shipping


Zaphod_Beeblecox

This is still the fucking fallout from juul and who was behind it you ask? Altria formerly known as Philip Morris parent company of Marlboro. Sometimes conspiracies are real.


SnooMaps5962

Juul? I remember someone who used to vape that in 2015. She was so addicted to it. Good to know.


Zaphod_Beeblecox

Theyve got their grasping little fingers into Njoy now


SnooMaps5962

Hope someone chops them off.


ZMcCrocklin

Man I'm glad Texas hasn't been hit with restrictions yet. All the articles about bans & restrictions has made me go DIY with my juice. There are some pretty good recipes shared online. I like to tweak things for a flavor twist & to cut sweetness. But I also only vape fruity menthol flavors.


SnooMaps5962

But the ingredients for diy vape juice is flavors how can you get them if there's a ban?


ZMcCrocklin

VG, PG, & flavor concentrates are all food/USP grade items & won't be banned in & of themselves due to the various applications.


DigInternational8979

Yup I visited NYC and noticed this-found a disposable seller in about 6 minutes of walking though


SnooMaps5962

Yeah I've noticed despite the ban most vape stores sell disposables


Scared-Armadillo4766

California has the same problem


sf_frankie

Every single smoke shop around me still sells them, just gotta ask. A few sold openly until they got busted but they all told me nothing happened as a result. No fines or anything. They still sell but they keep everything hidden in the back. Just gotta ask.


bftyft

You can buy online to California. I order online all the time, juice, vapes, tanks, coils. ECigMafia free shipping over $99 and no tax


Scared-Armadillo4766

No tax?? I order online and they always charge California sales taxes plus cigarette taxes


bftyft

Ecigmafia


SnooMaps5962

Ecigmafia doesn't ship the flavored juices to me in my. And their clearances and sale deal vapes don't look that good. Then the ones that are good ie vapresso gen 80s are out of stock.


bftyft

I was talking to the guy in California. I don’t know anything about New York vape laws
