Didn't see Anything Definitive in that thread.

About the Only thing I saw was this Marketing/Sales Info.

PG USP/EP has a shelf life of two years when stored below 40°C in closed containers away from sources of UV light. An ongoing stability test program confirms this shelf life. The shelf life refers to the length of time during which a product complies with its sales specification when stored under appropriate conditions.

PG USP/EP is hygroscopic and may be subject to partial oxidation in the presence of oxygen. With increasing storage time, dependent on the storage conditions, the water content, color, odor and acidity can increase.

100 LITERS of 100 mg Flavorless Nicotine Liquid

This is the best price that I have found, it comes to about $48 a liter. But I would be hard pressed to use that much in my remaining years. Maybe someone will do a co-op. Right now I have about 1 1/2 liters of 100mg/ml nic stored. I've been vaping for about 18 mos. and bought my first liter within a month of starting. I have (2) Provari, (1) Reo Grand VV (1) Vmod XL (7) Genesis style (4) KFL style and (3) Drippers, so I'm good in regards to equipment. I also buy my tobacco flavors in 120 ml. bottles, I'm not concerned about getting fruit and candy flavorings as they should remain available. I've never considered myself as a prepper it just sort of happened. :facepalm:
 
Oh, dear.

I don't think flavorings are going away or rise in price (other than the normal inflation of everything). People will still be able to make candy,flavor icings and add to their e-liquid base. Even that bastion of Christianity, Hobby Lobby, stocks several flavorings...how would anyone surmise they are for e-liquids rather than candy/cake making?

VG is always going to be available, as well. Many of us use it for a moisturizer, as well as a component of e-liquid. Walmart, Walgreens, CVS, etc. all carry VG.

Propylene Glycol is also radily purchased in most farm supply stores. It is also easily found on line, as it has many other uses other than being a component of e-liquid.

NICOTINE is what the powers that be want to regulate. RBA/RDAs, and NICOTINE is what I will be concentrating on. I will also be taking advantage of sales of eGo type batteries (can be saved until used) and cheap toppers that don't require rebuilding (for future convenience.) How can the US regulate the sale of a mech mod (battery holder) that is purchased overseas???

My user name should answer your hardware question lol and if it came down to it, I can make my own mod. I probably do need to scoop up a couple more RBAs and RDAs tho. ...

Yeah... It would be what I would Consider Doing. RBA's can Break, get Lost or be Stolen.

Wire and Wicks can Easily be Replaced. But the Actual Body of a RBA would be something I would want a Backup to my Backup's Backup.

I live in Florida, which is prone to Hurricanes. I was in my local B&M the other day and the conversation turned to disaster preparedness. One of the guys in the conversation told us he has an emergency Vape Bag which contains a couple of batteries, a solar charger, some juice, 50ml of PG, 50ml of VG, a few flavors, a mod, two EGO style batteries and some toppers.

He figures he is good for at least 30 days if a Hurricane knocks out our power!!

It pays to be prepared!
 
I wish Mad Vapes had continued doing the Sampling that they did in this Project.

Madvapes Blog - Nicotine Concentration Over Time

Agreed! It does show that heat and air exposure are the main issues concerning longevity...with that said 100mg nic would slowly "deteriorate" down in potency while in the freezer, not all the sudden be unusable, correct? so in 7 years its lost 20% or more....I could live with that.

Well, obviously you are so intelligent no one should even post in this thread, lest they offend you. Keep stockpiling your flavorings and have a nice day.

Oh, and BLESS YOUR HEART.

Nicotine Break Down is about the Last of my Concerns.

If my 100mg/ml Nicotine Base was Only 80mg/ml 7 Years from now, Boo Hoo Hoo. More of a Concern would be Something Growing in it.

But Not that many things like to Grow in PG. And even less at 0 Degree PG.

I could see Potential Problems with VG. But VG Isn't going to be Regulated.

I wasn't offended ma'am...just trying to be clear that I'm not filling my house with e-juice. DIY was going to happen here either way...You did however start your post with "I dont think" Have a great day and bless your heart as well dear.
