[–] P1nkman@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) With these tobacco prices?? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 child) It's $46USD for a 25 pack of Winnie Blues in Australia right now. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Machinist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Holy shit! At that point, you could probably turn a profit growing shitty tobacco in a greenhouse and selling it black market. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] pHr34kY@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) The black market is bigger than the legitimate market. It's out of control. We even effectively banned vapes. They can only be legally dispensed by a pharmacy, and the pharmacists want nothing to do with it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Machinist@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (1 child) Crazy. That's effectively prohibition, and we all know what that does to black and grey markets. I have given up on trying to fight my nicotine addiction. Vape with homemade liquid because I'm cheap and I want to know what's in it. Smoke pipes and occasionally a cigar as I really love tobacco. May grow my own tobacco at some point just to play with it. (From the US) Anyhow, potato vines contain useful amounts of nicotine that can be extracted and used in e-liquid. Atomizers can be easily made from nichrome wire. If you can't get it direct, guitar strings can be a source of wire after burn off. Vegetable glycerin and propylene glycol are easy to get anywhere. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] InevitableWaffles@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago Atomizers can be easily made from nichrome wire.
