Anybody else making plans to stockpile e-juice?

[RubenX]

I know I am. The only problem at the moment is that being a noob, I'm still trying out flavors. At the moment I'm vaping like 3ml a day and I have here some 95ml of liquid (assorted flavors). I should be good for a month of vaping.

I still have a lot to study. Thanks to ECF, I have access to a lot of info and experts on the subject. I need to learn more about the shell life of the different juices/ingredients/bases. I guess that the longest shell life would be to stock pile the main ingredients by themselves, without mixing. But like I said, I have a lot to learn.

It would be really nice to have a lot of juice to last for months (years?), in case something happens (not just the bans but personal financial mishaps).

So how big is your stockpile ATM?
How much will your current stockpile last?
How big of a stockpile you would like to have?

I have about 300ml of various flavors.

I just started to stockpile liquid in fear of the FDA getting a hold of shipments. I have about 300ml so far and counting.

Nice.
I have an order coming in for juice today. After I try all those, I'll probably pick 4 or 5 of them and start stocking up on juice. Paying $5 for shipping every time I need juice is ending up to be a little too much money. So I'll probably start buying more 30 mLs instead of 10's.
I'm in college. I'm poor.

I might start DIYing, as of now, I don't have enough time to start experimenting and failing with DIY.

I too have stocked up on nic juice 100mg/ml and now working on flavorings and some of my fave vendor juices in no nic. I think if you have nic juice and a good supply of attys and a mod that takes regular batts you will be fine no matter what comes.

 

[FantWriter]

From what I've read, and my knowledge of basic chemistry, I'd say that two years is about the maximum for storage.

VG, PG, and the flavorings will always be available because of their other uses. The only issue is nic juice.

It's possible to make that yourself, although with a couple of stipulations. 1) What you make by soaking/steeping tobacco will have many other chemicals, not all of them desirable. 2) There is a method for testing its strength using standard pool chemicals, but it's not something a lot of people are going to feel comfortable doing.

I imagine that if worse comes to worse and there's an absolute national ban on e-juice, someone is going to post an easy and effective way of getting the nic out of nicotine patches or gum, or some other source.

My personal reserve is simply to order more when I open my last 60ml. No matter how badly the weather or strikes or foul-ups delay an order, it's sure to get here before I'm actually out.

I wouldn't stock pile juice, especially pre-made, it's all going to go bad on you, I've done it and it's a big waste of money in my opinion. Most premixed juice starts tasting not as good after about 8 months or so and is going bad between 8 months and 1 year from my experience. I wouldn't buy into this 2yr thing that some say it will last, IT DOESN'T therefor total waste of cash. Your much better off buying what you need for now, your pretty much always going to be able to buy liquid Nicotine and flavorings, and PG/VG in my opinion and mix your own. I wouldn't let this talk about bans scare you to much for right now, even if someday it happens you have plenty of time to buy 100mg or 50mg Nic which will last you longer than pre-made juices. When you see some of the bigger Nic sellers put out word that they wont be selling it, like, Box Elder, Levy from extemevaping.com who will always have it, then I would start to worry, as for now don't panic and don't waste your money stockpiling on stuff that is going to be bad on you in 8-12 months from now.!!!! Been there done that, total waste of cash, why do you think you see juice companies having sales on Nic at half or even a third of the price of what it cost ? simple, they want to re-up and buy fresh, get rid of juice past 90 days old. I'm doing the same thing and saving tons of money by doing it this way, I like my Nic fresh, no older then 90 days, so I buy 250ml's of 60mg Nic which I use to do my DIY with every 90days, it's your best bet.!!! Don't fall for all this crap you hear out there it's purely a marketing scam in my opinion to get people to buy more juice, don't fall for it.!!!

 

[Phreaker]

No, not stocking piling...why would I? Is there something I don't know? I make sure I have enough that I wont run out before being able to get more though.

 

[breaktru]

It's good to be a DIYer.. With Nic, PG, VG and an assortment of flavors you go for months or possibly years.

 

[Caffusss]

Ya, I bought a gallon of plain e juice and I have about half a gallon of flavors....I know I can always get food or clothes ..somehow but e juice I have to get that on my own and I have to have it or I will have to smoke and I dont want to do that! YUK!

 

[dormouse]

I picked up 250ml of 48mg nic at a sale and stored that away. And I have some flavorings and a small amount of PG and VG (could always get more of those). I haven't even tried to make a juice yet but fortunately I am pretty happy just vaping a good vanilla so I am pretty sure I could make a vanilla. I have 3 different vanilla flavorings.

 

[AngusATAT]

I've got about a year's worth of juice at home. Not because I'm stockpiling, but just because I tend to order juice when I see something that sounds good.

 

[Joe.0]

I seem to be inadvertently stockpiling too. So many flavors-so little time.

 

[Turkish]

I'm with AngusATAT; I seem to order consistently when I find something to my liking, which parallels 'stockpiling'. Nice to meet you, Angus.

 

[manwithbeers]

9 days in right now. I'm trying to figure out what I like as far as flavor, vg and pg. Once I know what is going to work long term I plan to buy nic juice by the quart. Being from Canada there is a very good chance that this will become restricted and/or taxed into oblivion so I plan to have close to a two year supply in the next few months. I figure if I can't buy juice latter my reserve will last me until I quit vaping. I am hoping to quit this by cutting down the nicotine juice and then quit vaping. If I have anything left when that happens some other smoker will be getting a gift.

 

[CarrieM]

I have about 600ml of 100mg nic juice and with my FA coop order coming in will have about 120 ml's of various flavors. I bought a gallon of PG at Tractor supply and a gallon of VG off one of my other supplier sites. So hubby and I will be well set for a while. Keep the nic juice in the fridge or the freezer and it helps prolong the life span, but most unflavored nic juices have a shelf life of 2 years.

 

[Stosh]

I have about 500ml 50mg unflavored, and another 250ml of a dozen flavors, picked up because there was a sale.

 

[SteevieG]

Well, I'm hoping to only do this for a few months until I'm totally off the nicotine. However, after 6 days I'm beginning to like this a lot. Is it a matter of kicking one addiction with another??? At least this one is wayyyy more healthy.

 

[BigMikeInNY]

do you think we will get a heads up when the ban will be, if it does happen? Like so and so date you can no longer by ecig supplies?
