    Are you done stocking up?

    Both are 'styled' I'm sure. My stash is $30-35 authentic mods and $7-20 styled atomizers with a few authentic exceptions where the price was fair. May be I would have spent more for atomiers except for stockpiling. If I like something it gets stockpiled, a few at least. If it's going to cost...

    Non-Stock up-ers

    My impression is the overwhelming majority of vapers are not planning to mix, rebuild, or stockpile. For me, avoiding relapse is crucial. I'm leaving nothing to chance.

    Nicotine all brands these days taste same?

    I remember first starting with MFS nic. It tasted slightly peppery for a day or two then that disappeared.

    Coronavirus and ordering from China

    I did a FT order 2 days ago and expect it to take longer because it includes a device with battery. I'm not concerned.

    Are you done stocking up?

    I'm not a big fan of tanks, prefer my trusty SV rda clones. I have a couple of tank styles and use them at times but never my first choice. There are people here who know way more about thanks than me. The other tank I'm using right now is this, I think it's a 24 mm beserker? It's okay and...

    Are you done stocking up?

    $1.30 Silicone Anti-slip Ring for E-Cigarettes Atomizers / Mods (5-Pack) 5-pack - black / 22mm at FastTech - Free Shipping I find the printing obnixous so I turn them inside out. They are very tight on my 22mm rda's so rarely slip off and keep the air supply adjustment more reliably. These...

    Picture of Your Setup Part 3!

    Usually I don't have anything remotely pretty to show off (cus' I'm cheap) but this one deserves a showing. The atomizer is a 2 ml Berserker mini. It's my idea of a pod. Another setup in silver is on the way from FT.

    Are you done stocking up?

    It's no longer about what I need but what I might want. Finally I have one tank that I sort of like (MTL) and another promising one on the way. One has an amber PEI tank and the other stainless. I hate glass. I discovered a tighter fitting silicone slip ring for controling leaks for pocket...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I donated to keep Greg Conely on the road. BTW I have one of those I-quit-smoking banners for a signature but it doesn't update like it used to. Anyone know the fix for that?

    Are you done stocking up?

    IMO the evidence that smoking is protective against the virus is overwhelming and there is a highly plausible hypothesis that the active ingredient is the nicotine which probably can be confirmed with clinical trials using ecigs or patches.

    Are you done stocking up?

    So dark, cold, air tight, but I don't think nic is highly fragile. I met a couple (about 25 year olds) who were both vaping on disposable systems. They were never smokers. The guy had been using mods and tanks and switched. He was a bit "off". I had the feeling nic is medicinal for him...

    Are you done stocking up?

    Seems like anything is possible. I'm doing what feels like the most protective and practical approach. May be it's more than necessary, may be less. Most of us agree with, keep in glass, in darkness, and below freezing. Currently I'm vaping 4 year old nic. Sofarsogood.

    Are you done stocking up?

    When (and if) the new regs start even what you describe would be illegal if your charging money. My hunch is enforcement people are not going to bother with personal amounts for personal use for no money between people who are not in the business will be ignored. I suspect the same will be...

    Are you done stocking up?

    My stocking plan assumed a mod should last 2 years of continuous service and my preferred (simple) rda would do at least as well. I was looking for 10 years so 5 of each. But what if I misjudged and they weren't holding up so well? The stuff is so cheap why not double up, 5 more of the same...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I've decided I'm not conveying ecig stuff for money or for free regardless of laws. I do mix for a brother. He owns his share of the ingredients even though I keep them. There is no other close family I need to be concerned about. I stashed enough mods and atomizers for 10/20 years several...

    Greetings from Saudi Arabia

    Welcome. It sounds like you think you'll end up as a life long hobby vaper (describes me). The topic isn't so vast but there's only so fast you can absorb it. First priority is to remain a non smoker. Be tight with your money, do research, read articles, look at products, ask questions...

    Are you done stocking up?

    I solved your problem early on by settling on only one mix, 1% of one all-in-one flavor, almost flavorless, so no palete fatigue. I remember being able to taste the slightly peppery taste of the nic I was using, for the first few days, then that ceased to be an issue. I vape for the nic...

    Are you done stocking up?

    At least one FDA drop dead date will pass without action. I recall a bunch of others were threatened by government and didn't happen though some states have passed burdensome restrictions. Waiting too long could backfire if there is a buying panic. In the mean time a 10-20 year supply of the...

    Are you done stocking up?

    The public health mafia and tobacco control zombies have been trying to stamp out vaping since it first appeared. The controlling influence is protecting tobacco taxes which funds both and a lot of other institutions like public education and medical research. I decided to be self sufficient...

    Mistakes you have made as a newbie or a veteran of vaping.

    For me it was being too hesitant to start mixing and rebuilding. I discovered I only need one flavor mixed at 1% and eliminating drop in coils makes stockpiling far simpler. Except for buying vape toys I want but don't need annual cost of supplies is almost certainly less than $50 a year...
