DaveP,

Oh, I know. I have like 20 of them lol. I paid original prices for many of mine and the used ones from the classies were over $100 that I bought back in the day. I don't need another one, I just want the bronze to add to my collection. I could even trade a new Dragon for it if I could find someone who has the brown color. I just am not wanting to pay top dollar for a bronze since I don't need it, just want the color.
I watch ebay to see what they have, a couple Radius were listed at $300. But I have 4 so don't really need another, have quite a few P3's and quite a few 2.5's. I need to count them, I lost track! LOL I do love the Radius, my go to mod :)

Where are you finding Vari's? I want a bronze one but not to the tune of 300.00.

The Classies has had quite a few new and used ones since PV closed. Every now and then some are still on there. I've picked up a few in the last year or so.

Beginning about last January, a guy who was part of ProVape started listing not only a large variety of ProVari parts, but also many brand new in the box ProVari on eBay...including many Prototype one-of-a kind finishes that never made it to production before they closed. Some of us have gotten more from him. He still puts various Radius, Procyon, P3, etc. on there, in addition to still having parts listed.

Other eBay sellers have also listed a bunch, and there's always several listed when I check eBay 3-4 times a week. I picked up a Sangria Purple and a Pink Ribbon 2.5 from one of those sellers. The previous ProVape guy even had the extension end caps for them, too, so I was able to get them as well. There was a bronze 2.5 on there, that a seller had bundled with some batteries, cases, a tank or 2, etc. that just sold 2 weeks ago. It was used though, and I'm not sure if you're looking for just new ones or not. You might want to check eBay regularly though, and maybe 1 will pop up!

You could put a wanted ad in the classies. I did that with one I really wanted, and although it took a long time, I did get the one I was looking for.

    Thanks, I will keep checking, if I remember. Darn, too bad I missed the bronze one 2 weeks ago. Used, in good condition, would be ok but I don't want to pay 300 for it.

    Investment in used items is really kind of a crapshoot at times. I do know I have enough mods tanks and RTAs to last me a very long time. I will probably buy more nicotine when I can (mainly in case I wind up mixing for the husband but it just never hurts. I do need to organize my stash more but I'm fairly certain that for equipment and whatnot, I'll be fine. I refuse to overbuy flavors when I have so many and I'm fairly certain that they'll still be obtainable, even if a) in form that may need modification b) same with batteries although I am going to stock up for a few years ahead, but after a certain point it becomes diminishing returns for batteries, too, so it's hard for me to consider a life time stash, etc.

    It's just unfortunate all this is necessary honestly. I guess I'm glad to say I was around for vaping before the "FDA." And really, I'm not going to feel "Safe and secure" in a way, until this whole government mandate thing is over. I mean, they are slow to an extent (and that works in our favor at times) but they are also kind of relentless if you know what I mean.

    I pity the new vapers who show up, quit, and then the market crashes, if that winds up being what happens at this point it's all sort of hard to predict. Etc.

    Latest unnecessary acquisition bottled and ready for basement freezer storage.
    60ml is in the fridge ready for my next mixing session.
    I'll be done when my cremains have cooled. Probably.

    Now to look at more flavors. I have been vaping Flavour Art lately of their one shots, ready mixed flavors

    If you like "one shots"...have you tried any of OSDIY's "One Stop Flavors" or "One Stop Blends"? About 6-8 of those are my favorite flavorings and 1 has been my ADV for 2 years so far. Until midnight tonight they have an Anniversary Sale going on, for 20% off sitewide (everything except Chefs Flavours flavorings). Just use code ECF or JFK on your shopping cart page.

    Also, I recently finally bought some WF Hazelnuts & Cream that several people have been raving about on another thread. It's also really good at just 6% as a standalone flavoring, IMO.

    I am wanting a good strawberry to add to Metaphor for a type of strawberry shortcake.

    I'd recommend CAP Sweet Strawberry, or TFA Strawberry Ripe, or OSDIY's Succulent Strawberry instead. IMO, the last of those 3 is definitely the most like the taste of a fresh strawberry. It's fairly strong even at 3-5%, to me, and it does get stronger as it ages.

    Has anyone tried Shisha Strawberry flavor? Was not sure if it is fresh strawberry or candy flavor, anyone know? I am wanting a good strawberry to add to Metaphor for a type of strawberry shortcake.
    I am so disappointed that almost everything I try doesn't taste like the real thing. Well for some reason a bought a grab bag of misc juices for 20 bucks for 600ml worth of juice. I wasn't expecting anything exciting. But OMG! I got 240ml worth of Wake Strawbeezy 3mg. Wake is Wake Mods online and they don't even list any juices. They make high end attys. But dang, best strawberry cheesecake I ever vaped (best strawberry anything really). You can even taste the graham cracker on exhale (only with DTL for the graham cracker).

    In the US, I found one place selling it for 8 bucks for 100ml @ 0mg of nic. You got to be kidding me! Something that good for only 8 bucks per 100ml? Sure either add your own nic or vape it when you want the flavor for a short time. Just talking about it I had taken a few hits from it and I still taste fresh ripe strawberries and graham crackers minutes after the vape. It's all good! :D

    P.S. I hope you like strawberry cheese cake. ;)

    I froze juice for 2 yrs, it was fresh so maybe flavor would too??
    Well I posted that very idea in the DIY forum several months back and it got roundly booed.
    If it works, and looks like it did for you, the superior solution.
    While we are at it, where do people buy o rings? I see Smok has them but don't see anything else.

    Every time I say ok that is all I need for stocking up, I find that there is just one more thing I need! LOL I am about all set but I am sure I will find something else. All set on mods, rebuilds, Nic, may get a few more flavors and VG/PG to have on hand :)

    honestly, i'm never all that well supplied. i keep enough on hand that i'm not worried but i live walking distance to a convenience store that carries what i need so i just wing it for the most part, live it one day at a time lol. i mean, i stock up on more than a day's worth of supplies, that's for sure, but nothing major. just grab some packs of pods here and there when i need them or when i'm running low. i am thinking of going balls to the wall though as i've become quite fond of vaping since i transitioned over from smoking. considering buying a little mini fridge to stock juice bottles in but i'm apparently pretty lazy so i haven't gotten around to it just yet.

    i assume quite a few of you are stocking supplies like the world's going to end. got your 55 gallon drum barrels full of e-liquid ingredients right next to your 100-year supply of rations, gas masks, etc. lol :)

    I actually tried refrigerating juice and freezing, they both worked great after 2 yrs. I had some Ahlusion frozen and it was fresh as the day I ordered it :)
