    Somewhere between here and there
    One thing I was thinking about is that the calculator doesn't take into consideration(not it's fault) is that I diy all my own liquids and some get dumped out if they aren't very good. I never thought to up my daily usage to account for stuff that I make that doesn't get used.

    Make the recipe without nic first, test vape it that way, and only add nic once you decide you like it?

    Another thing is changing vape habits.
    If I started stocking up a year ago and got 5yrs worth of 100mg nic based off my use then, I would today have nearly 50yrs worth of 100mg nic.
    Thats not including the 100mg nic salts! I dont like it, its going.

    Look, it's an estimate. I might get run over tomorrow. I might run out, but I highly doubt it but anything's possible.

    We should start some sort of nic bank. Like a blood bank. I don't think my husband's going to quit smoking any time soon. He would throw it out. What we need are pooled memberships where if one person dies, it goes into the bank.

    I think to enter the blood bank pool we should all donate two liters of nic or something. IDK. It's complicated but that is the WAY of Anna of the Arc. I am an ant, I am overprepared probably. But, I'd hate for my nic to go to waste as they burn me at the stake, send me to a Scientology program, you know, whatever.

    I wonder if Scientology could get me to quit vaping. I'm fairly sure it couldn't. But, you never know.

    MAN I am so SORRY and so GLAD I didn't get inducted into a cult and then deprogrammed. I mean it sounds AWFUL but also interesting.... Sigh.

    Me too, as they probably wouldn't let you post here while a member and you'd be too affected to post afterward. Your thoughts would be missed.

    Then again, you might have stayed, convinced you are among the chosen few....

    I am cult proof, actually. I can't be hypnotized either. I've seen so much weird stuff, I'm just like "Oh, leave me be. You suck."

    I am ALSO Jehovah's witness proof. The husband was always letting them in out of politeness. I told him he was an idiot. They showed up one Saturday when I was home and I RACED out of my home all disheveled shrieking "GET OFF MY PROPRETY!!!!!!!!! YOU ARE TRESSPASSING!!!!!!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU???? KEEP YOUR STUPID CRUD TO YOUR DAMN SELF!!!!!!!!!" Then I started gesticulating and going "SHOO!!! SHOO!!! BEGONE!!!"

    LOL my neighbor who was dealing with ANOTHER carful like, more politely looked at me with great admiration.

    They never came back either. THANK GOD. We had a big "enclosure" or "infestation" built at the top of my street.

    So I think I am safe.

    A video would be priceless.

    Many of my best moments go untaped. I'm sorry. I'm impulsive. I can't have a videographer follow me around at all times. More accurately, I probably can't afford it.

    IDK. Maybe I can. There is potentially a website called "Hire an illegal immigrant" or I could just go hire some dude from behind the Lowes and like hand him a camera.

    I add 10% for waste. It is going to happen.

    Just passing this along from an e-mail:
    Nude Armor Flash Sale!
    Due to popular demand Nude Armor is on SALE 6/21-6/24!
    Save 20% on ALL sizes & ALL variants of Nude Nicotine's NUDE ARMOR!
    Use the discount code DEFENDED20

    BUT... Personally, I would be reluctant to order nic base this time of year. Spending several days in hot trucks is not good for it. Example from another vendor here.

    I talked with my wife about stockpiling some nic in the freezer and she said I should buy a small freezer for the basement. I like the idea. What temperature should I set it for?
    I'd shoot for something less than 32F.;)

    No, seriously, if you're only freezing nic, in it, I'd think it would be best as low as it can go. No household freezer is going to approach the temps required to freeze the vg or pg medium, which I think would take something like 60 below. If you're going to put other food in there, I think around 0F is recommended.

    Thanks, no food in there. That’s why I’m getting a small separate one. I’m thinking four or five liters broken down into 250ml bottles. I found a small one at Menards that is an upright instead of a chest freezer.

    Of course, what's not to like? :w00t:

    Early on, my wife didn't mind me having a bit of nic in her big chest freezer. But as the amount grew, she also told me: "Get you own!". If all you're keeping in there is nic, it doesn't need to be very big either. 1 cubic foot = 28.3 liters! Now of course round bottles don't pack liquid into a rectangular space very efficiently, but still, my 2.1 cubic foot one would easily hold a lifetime's worth of nic. The only reason it doesn't is because I don't keep it all in one place.

    What temperature should I set it for?
    My theory is: The colder. the better, so I set mine as low as they'll go. A cheap thermometer indicates that's roughly -10F.

    That’s some good information. I can order one from Walmart that is a 3 cubic foot for a good price. I went to a few stores today and none of them stocked small freezers. I could get a 5 cubic foot one for 159 but it’s a chest and it’s huge.
