Are you done stocking up?

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 :)
Well I am good for years and years. Only thing I had to buy in 2 yrs was flavors. If FDA shuts everything down I am good to go :)

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.
I got mine from Fasttech

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 :)
I believe it may pay to test a small amount first. As I remember a new e-liquid manufacture buy huge walk in frig and freezers. And sadly to learned that some flavors will go bad if cooled. And they lost thousands of dollars of e-liquids.

Don't know if you meant eliquids, or flavors (as in flavorings). I know some flavorings will separate or have crystals form in them if refrigerated. Possibly they did the same thing IN the eliquids they were used to make when they were refrigerated or frozen. That's not going "bad" though, as in spoiling. When brought back to room temperature and given a good shaking...they'll remix and will be fine. If the company was new to making eliquid, perhaps they thought those crystals and/or separation in the eliquids meant they were "bad" though.

I’m thinking of getting hubby a myle to try. He wants to quit but his not satisfied with my plain Jane nic...... what do y’all think?

OK...just checked it out here:
MYLE Pod System Kit by MYLE Vapor

Seems they're pretty chintzy to not even include 1 pod with the kit for that price. Also, the available flavors of eliquid pods are only: Mighty Mint, Tropical Mango, Cubano by VGOD and Summer Strawberry. Also says: "The MYLE flavor pods features a non-refillable 0.9ml capacity which is approximately equivalent to 240 puffs." Says they're proprietary pods, too, so you'd have to buy theirs.

I'd personally just have him use a device you have already, or an inexpensive mod and atomizer set-up...or if you definitely want a pod set-up, I'd get 1 that has refillable pods. Buy a small bottle of 50mg/mL salt nic, and have him choose a flavoring or 2 for you to DIY some sample sizes of eliquid for him to try until he finds 1 to his liking. That's just my own thoughts though. He's your hubby! :D

I found a kit that has pods. Cost is still less than a carton and it’s something simple for him to try and if he likes it, we can move to my gear with nic salts.

Vaping Greek does a Pod Vlog live every so often
Here's his PodMart playlist - Welcome To PodMart - YouTube

Here's the PodMart intro video from late March


He does The Smoker's Show live with Pheel at 9PM EST every other Tuesday on PBusardo's channel. It's geared towards helping smokers quit or switch, hence the name. They're both very helpful & approachable and try to answer everyone's questions. Ask them on social media and they'll help any way they can.
Smoker's Show was last week so Dimi will be live for the Smoke Free Radio show on his own channel at 8PM EST tomorrow.

I have some one shot lucky shot flavor in the fridge, will see how it faired :)

I have kept flavorings (and at times juices) in the fridge (not frozen) and that's mainly because a cool dry place is hard to find around here, and they've been fine so far, I might be hesitant to freeze them though.

If you think a pod would get your hubby started vaping @leftyandsparky I say go for it! Whatever works, works!

Good luck with your stashes everyone. I checked out my closet and I wouldn't mind a few more sets of drop in coils, but other than that and batteries (which you really cant' stockpile and a bit more nic in case the husband starts to vape I should be good to go everything else is just not mandatory (even the coils really).

I do want to get a monster year's worth of snus from Sweden directly in my freezer but that will require waiting until my first paycheck, etc.

I don't know how much you know about Swedish Snus or if you Facebook but Nick at Daily Vape TV has been snusing for a few years. He looks slightly unconventional but he's smarter than the average bear and I'm sure he'll chat with you about snus if you msg him here - Daily Vape TV at FB or at his YT channel here - Daily Vape TV at YT
