Are you done stocking up?

I really only "need" zenith and nautilus coils (a lifetime supply but I'm not sure what that is. My coils are lasting obscenely long.) And a couple liters more of nic. But I'm waiting for address changes and all that.

Then I will continue to "backup" all the best new toys. But slower, I certainly hope.

My mesh zenith coils is lasting. I still think it's pretty great. Not as much of a juice drinker so I think I will get some of each. More of the 1.6 coils, I think.

'm stocked for life but I do spend days upon days talking myself into and out of buying more things.

I can help with that I am now living on tile. I need some strategic area rugs. I have not technically destroyed anything yet but I did sort of do SOMETHING to a 510 connection on a mod where it's all wobbly now. I previously split the plastic and it was a shame. it was a win and I liked it.

So it went in the closet. I mean in the bunker beggars won't be choosers but I'd be happy to help with that problem. Etc.

I don't consider buying as stocking up any more except with nic. Any hardware purchases at this point are for fun for me. I'll go maybe a month at the most without making any purchases and then buy a bunch of stuff to make up for it. Building my flavor stash for mixing has become my new obsession.

Agreed. The only thing that may be difficult to purchase down the road is nic base. Everything else has another non-vaping use and should still be easily obtained.

My stash of mods and RDAs is more than enough to last three life times, and batteries, wire and wick are all non-issues along with VG and flavors - I've currently got just over a hundred.

So, yeah, the only other reason to buy is the fun factor and to keep things interesting.

Atties and mods don't have a non-vaping use either, but if one chooses them wisely, they can last a lifetime.

As for nic base, I can't fathom why anyone who's been on ECF for more than a year or two doesn't already have a enough to last several decades.

I'm about to start. A couple of questions if you don't mind. What bottles are you using to store it in? And for the nic that you are storing, is it better to freeze if mostly VG or PG. I used to know that, but forgot.
Boston brown round bottles with ploy cone cap.
Keep in mind I am storing Eliquid.
I also store nic in the same type of bottle. I use pg base just because it is easier to work with.

You're right of course, but I was speaking more in terms of my situation. I have enough mechanical mods, including four REOS mods and at least ten tube mods and countless RDAs, so for me it's just the nic. Got a bunch in the freezer, but never really calculated how long it may last me.

Naturally it depends on your strength. I have 12mg and 6mg recipes and Have traditionally used pre made mixing base for current needs in order to keep the 100mg nic in the freezer untouched.
I had a bit of nic not frozen so just to practice mixed it with pure vg and pg. I was surprised on how much nic I actually used, about 6 g in a 60 ml bottle. After calculating my usage I concluded a liter of nic is roughly 4 years worth.
I ordered another liter for the freezer to make 5 total.
Beyond that point I don't care. Just to make safe I will probably order another and quit there.

I find nic easy to buy because of how cheap it is compared to cigs. I used to spend $3,000 a year smoking a carton a week. A $50 bottle of nic lasts me 4 years making it a replacement for $12,000 worth of cigarettes. In some cities the cigarette tax is so high pure nic is literally worth it's weight in gold. This is the reason taxing authorities are having challenges with taxing ecigs without starting another drug war. I have some more to buy but would like it to be as fresh as possible. I probably shouldn't be procrastinating.

I have bought some additional mods and atomizers, which was unexpected and I'll probably get a protected tube mod with spare boards as the last line of defense.

    If anyone comes up with less than 3 or more than 5 years per liter of 100 mg, please say so. :)

    FWIW, I'm currently at 4.2 years / liter.

    I have "frozen" sealed in glass with argon a 20 year supply. Before you scoff at me, I am the ant and my daughter is the grasshopper. I will be supplying her for years after my untimely demise and the further rise of the regulatory state.
