The Dreaded TPD begins, be aware !

[Judith]

Some may not want the expense of branching out jus to sell nic to people who mix at home.
Others maybe keeping it under wraps until after the 20th may and then launch a new company selling nic online .
There maybe others out their that we area yet to find out about.

It will be interesting to see his all this will be policed and enforced. Other company's also may be waiting to see how this be policed before setting up anything new.

I've a similar feeling, think that some vendors are applying unnecessary pressure to buy before the TPD shite. And also think that post TPD nothing different will happen. However, just in case, I'm stocked up until I pop me cloggs.

Oh? Schadenfreude time already, you think? You might be right but then risk perception is a very personal thing.

Schadenfreude........ love that word. It's always something that I wouldn't want it to happen to......... or maybe not.

Or you may have shelled out a shit load of cash in the short term for no reason at all lol.

Well obviously you are right, it's gamble, as you say "master stroke on your part" or " stockpiled or an embarrassing expense"

In the long term I may lose out, but then again I might win, I as many others are simply hedging our positions here, we have gained some time to see what happens (as scrumpox says)

It is an interesting point you raise though, I may well lose.
Have you ever heard of the futures markets in the investment business ?
Now that's not what I am doing, all I am doing is planning for my future, unhindered by EU robots, big tabac, pharma nic patch.

Like it, but struggling to grasp the translation into my english brain............
Sounds to be of germanic origin, my closest guess would be something along the line of either, great enjoyment, or being being a pain in the bum, not a complete stab in the dark, as I am in the UK but the company I work for is german.
Please enlighten me ?

@Badboybez It's taking pleasure in the misfortune of others, and it's a German word

Umm Nicotine isn't used as a pesticide anymore and hasn't been for a while hence it isn't available to Joe Public Mr Retired Gardener/Farmer on the open market as a pesticide, it's uses were widespread for weed killing etc but the effect on the environment (bees for instance) was finally deemed as too harmful and hence now not used nor available in your local garden centre/farm shop.

It is however available from some chemical distributors still i.e. Darrant as already mentioned in this thread but all you have to do is see the colour of their nicotine to realise that you wouldn't really want to use it for vaping, as far as I am aware you will indeed need a license of some description to still purchase it and that would be in bulk and not 100ml here and there.

Gardening
Tobacco is a great insect repellent for the kitchen garden. By simply soaking as little as a cigarette amount of tobacco in a quart of water and allowing it to soak overnight, the nicotine released in the water will create an all purpose insect repellent.

Aphid Control – Aphids are a real nuisance if allowed to thrive on garden plants. Here’s a handy tip to rid your garden of them for good!

• Prepare a mixture of 1 cup. powdered garlic
• 1 c. compost
• 1 c. tobacco (organic preferably)

Blend this mixture into the soil around the base of your aphid infested plants.

Peach Tree Borers – Sprinkling tobacco dust around peach trees will deter the dreaded peach tree borer from infesting your tree.

Leaf Roller – These greenish larvae make a home out of perfectly good leaves. They can destroy plants of all kinds in a matter of weeks! I have created an offering plate for birds every morning of these caterpillars. But to easily rid your garden of them:

Use a mixture of tobacco dust, pyrethrum powder (dried pyrethrum flowers crumbled into a powder) and make a solution to spray on the leaf roller.

Garden Centipede – These litter guys will eat your young plants up in no time, so get rid of them with this simple solution:

Drench the soil with a mixture of water, garlic and tobacco. Caution: This is a very foul smelling, but potent combination.

Gophers and Moles – Did you know that gophers and moles hate tobacco?

Shred a package of non-filtered cigarettes and drop it down in the hole. They cannot stand it!

Spiders – Although garden spiders are always welcome in my garden, it’s cousins are not allowed! To rid your yard of spiders:

Boil 1 gallon of water and drop a package of chewing tobacco into the water and allow to cool.

Once cooled, strain the solution and use it as a spray around the yard and in the cracks of your home

Well that's the point, no one really seems to know do they, time will tell. It may have been a master stroke on your part and everyone else who has stockpiled or an embarrassing expense

i have extra too i only pass on what i have been told or read just think some people have gone to extreme up to them but i saw a pic in another thread where someone has obviously emptied there freezer of food to fill it with 500ml bottles and i mean bottles of darkstar people sayig 12 years worth 20 years worth ect. They won't be able to use it you will here claims of people saying it will be fine after 5 years or 10 years but none of them actually say they have done it to find out. Sure in the pharma industry they do but they store it at -70 c and replace any air with argon (but even then read altough maintains most it's strength is so harsh tasting to vape with). In fact to freeze it for a long time you need -20 c freezer and again argon gas.

Nude Armor nicotine base uses our same tried-and-true formulation for our standard nicotine base. However, Nude Armor is packaged and sealed for long term storage. We rate the shelf-life of this nicotine base to be upwards of two years without degradation or oxidation. All you need to provide is a freezer (~ -20C) for storage!

Click here to view our most recent certificate of analysis :)

We use 99.9% pure medical-grade Argon gas to displace all oxygen within the bottle before sealing. This will prevent oxidation of nicotine and PG/VG from oxygen commonly left within the storage bottle. In addition, all aliquots are packaged in thick glass amber bottles, suitable for long-term storage of this length.

Our Nude Armor, argon-purged nicotine base is perfect for the consumer looking to store their nicotine base for extended periods of time, or for the formulator keen to ensure their nicotine base is in its purest state, free of oxidation products or degradation from storage. Inert argon gas displaces all oxygen-laden atmosphere inside the storage conditions of the bottle, a necessity as stated USP protocol for the storage of nicotine solution.

Each aliquot can be split up into the bottles of your choice. We recommend smaller packing sizes (x4 125mL glass bottles) for the formulator who only uses smaller quantities of 100mg/mL nicotine base at a time. This will ensure that the argon-purged Nude Armor remains under argon until it is needed

Larger-scale formulators may be keen to x2 250mL aliquot sizes, or even single 500mL sizes if larger quantities are needed. As always, please feel free to contact us directly if you require a larger aliquot size!

Ensure your nicotine is of the finest quality, and kept in a cGMP laboratory-approved storage solution! Choose Nude Armor!

Thanks for the blatant sales pitch lol

Darkstar's freezer packs are Argon sealed also.
