Me too. Actually I'm kind of scared to try new gear in case I do find something I like better.
Me too. Actually I'm kind of scared to try new gear in case I do find something I like better.
When I see the term 'stocking up' as it applies to vaping it rings in as supplies to me (expendable supplies, not gear). I have a large enough supply of vaping expendables on hand to probably see me thru until my last day sucking air. But I guess I am guilty of stocking up on some gear too though IAMA with many of my various gear models I have several of each of them and up to over a dozen of some of them. Lately more supplies nor new gear have not been on my priority list though. So all I have bought recently is 2 Wotofo Profile Unity Mesh RTA's (and brought back out of mothballs 2 Sig 213 TC mods to run them on). I've never been a fan of RTA's, and I mostly only run squonk mods anymore. So these were a stretch for me. But mesh atty's have been my main thing for well over a year and a half (have 23 of them)... and the 9 Wotofo Profile Mesh rda's share top billing along with 9 Digiflavor Mesh Pro's out of the lot of them. So I had to at least try a couple of these out.
I mix my DIY's for mesh builds now days, and like with the mesh RDA's these RTA's have earned a couple of spots in my rotations. I have no plans to buy anymore of them, but that is simply because I don't really want to start running anymore of my many TC mods again.
GunMetal and Gold versions to go on the GM and Gold 213's (crappy picture - camera woes).

If I subscribed to that philosophy...I'd still be vaping on my top coil with the wicks-running-down-to-the-bottom Tanks and (slightly heavier than a brick) (11W Max) MVP2's...rather than my current immeasurably more satisfying Zenith/Sinuous P80 setups...

I like trying different stuff.
Yea, me too. It's a problem. I do think I'm gonna buy like 10 or so regulated mods on a budget that I like okay though. I think that because I know they will actually stay in the closet with Tom Cruise. I'm thinking it might be the Eleaf invoke I love that sucker mine will NOT die. It has been used and abused, too.

I also started with stuff like that.If I subscribed to that philosophy...I'd still be vaping on my top coil with the wicks-running-down-to-the-bottom Tanks and (slightly heavier than a brick) (11W Max) MVP2's...rather than my current immeasurably more satisfying Zenith/Sinuous P80 setups...
And it got me off the cigs. But it was generally a PITA. Then I found stuff that wasn't, and have stuck with it.
I stayed with the same stuff for years. It just stopped being satisfying. I think my first four years I might have spent $800-1,000 total, diy supplies and all.
I was overdue for an update/upgrade. But it’s also been a lot of fun trying new things, and I’ve found some great stuff along the way. No regrets.

I have gone through spells over the years where I’ll try a bunch of different tanks until I find one I like a lot and then buy a bunch of them. That will keep me happy for a year or two and then I’m back to looking for something else.
That's the way to do it. I tend to do it almost last minute. And, you know how that always goes!
If that happens to be what you like. That just means that what you like hadn't been invented yet. NOW, you can relax and enjoy - like the people that found their sweet spot a long time ago.
I still have my old Rough Stack and little black box from Mad Vapes from March of 2011. Not that I actually use them. But, I could!"Aye two".
I've got stuff as old as 2012, and as new as....
Oh damn. Well, yesterday (if I must be truthful).
The last time my vape style changed was around March of 2012, when I locked in at 9-11 watts, 22mm atties, and my first solid piece of equipment (an ancient relic called "Provari" or something like that).
I keep adding stuff but the variations are nil. My youngest son said to me yesterday, "That freezer of yours is absolutely hilarious."
That doesn't stop him (or the other vaping kids) from taking what they need from me, when they need it.
I wonder if I'm done stocking up yet.
I still buy. But, I don't get excited about it unless the price is $20 or under, no more than about $22 after shipping. Unless, of course, it's pretty!
I still keep thinking of adding more nic, every time that I mix for my sister or my brother. But, I barely have any room left! My freezer will be nic only if I add any more!
I really like my Invoke. So small for a 2 battery mod!
Au contraire! You mean something that you didn't know you needed.
There is no such thing as a sweet spot in the ever changing vaping scene. The best you can do is the best for now. 
My current thinking, I'll get some more nic just because. I shouldn't be procastinating on that. I have the freezer space The OLED screen issue has me getting some backups for the backups in the form of protected mods with no screen. That turns out to be 4 Pico Squeeze plus Cthulu 1928 rda's. And I'll probablly get a tube mod and some $5 replacable boards. That seems like the most cost effective last line of defense. Finally an MTL RTA came along I like so 4 Berserker minis and extra glass from FT. I have vaped an SV rda clone from FT for the last 3 1/2 years ($7 each). It's still my favorite vape. The SV's seem to be gone from the market so good thing I picked up a few. I like my recently acquired Pico X and might get a couple more (low priority). The X is good in the winter because the fire button is easy to find with a gloved hand.
I always feel the need to start these kind of posts with ‘not that I needed it but’...
Easter sales, so I bought two more Bunkers and a Topside, and two more liters of nic. Ought to get here before it’s too hot out.

Yep. Nic should be priority #1 for anyone's stockpiling plan, and the only time procrastination is warranted is in the heat of the summer.
It always seemed like nic might be treated differently to everything else. They can jump on hardware and juice like they are talking about in the House and Senate. Nicotine has to be available for cigarette manufacture. They would need a separate remedy, like making it available to licensed buyers only. It could happen tomorrow, outside of the other legislation that's going on.
And if there is a possibility that doing anything will make life more difficult for some then that anything must be done.
For the lovers of the Pico, it might be a good idea to check out Central Iowa Vapors. Sigelei 213's, Aspire Speeders and Wismec Predators too, even my favorite RX75. Search on the word "open". I took a chance on a couple RX75's and a Speeder myself.
