Would building a walk-in freezer in one's garage count?Anyone converted parts of their house to keep all this gear?
I haven't done it, but I've been tempted.

Not yet, but I did kick a kid out because I needed her room.
I don't know why she's so upset about it. I got her setup in a quite a nice little van, down by the river.
Kids today. Spoiled, spoiled, spoiled (smh).

I can see it now, a simple plan to store nic turns into a nice work from home business, eventually storing friends and family...in the garage.

"Breaking Good".
Commitment is key but who will be the first to break rank and declare;
‘I have stocked up’
When you was a younger man you looked around and decided to begin stocking up, pop along to this thread and see how it’s done...
Many moons and shipments later. ‘There still seems to be something missing’
you can’t quite put your finger on it...
Time waits for no man... see you guys in the future I’m sure

June 23, 2016:
As of yesterday, I am truly done stocking up.
I now have 40 years worth of nic split between freezers in several locations. I do not think I'll live that long, but I'd rather not wake up some morning wishing I had bought more.
I'm good to go with gear as well. There's not much to go wrong with mechanical squonk mods and BF atties, at least not that can't be fixed using low-tech solutions.
Does that mean I won't buy more hardware if I come across something that appeals to me? Hardly. I'm still a squonk-mod junkie.
ETA: My nic use as declined a bit since then. So I probably have close to 50 years worth now.
I ordered a freezer today and a 12 pack of 8oz bottles. It’s just a 3 cubic foot upright but should be good for storing nic.
You're gonna need a whole lot more bottles to fill a 3 cubic foot freezer!
Twelve 8-oz bottles won't even hold three liters of nic.

I know. I’ve got some 100ml bottles on hand and plan on ordering more 8oz bottles later. I’ve got two unopened liters on hand plus part of another one in 100ml bottles. I’m also going to order two more liters and buy bottles for that. I need to do a little at a time.
It's been a few years since I researched stand alone freezers. This was the best prospect at the time.

Most of my nic comes from MSF and also the 250 ml and 1 liter amber glass bottles I use. I noticed the peppery taste for a couple of days. Then my taste buds stopped noticing it. My nic in long term storage goes in 1 liter bottles. When it's time to open one of those bottles it's poured into 4 250 ml bottles for mixing. The 1 liter bottles are put in zip lock bags, wrapped in bubble wrap which is put in another zip lock bags and carefully labeled with nic concentration, suppliier, and date. The one leader bottles fit on the lower door shelf. The smaller bottles, also wrapped in bubble wrap fit in the upper door shelf.
Right now I'm mixing with nic that's been in storage 4 years. I do not see color change and it seems to vape fine. I suspect that regardless of color change there might be a slight drop in potency over years. If I notice that I'll increase nic a percent or two. Until there is evidence to the contrary I'm satisfied with my kitchen freezer. I live alone so no competition for freezer space.
Right now my main concern is shelf life of mods, the screens in particular. I like TC but can live with watts regulation if there's no alternative so I'll probably have a couple of protected tube mods with spare control boards like this. May be someone here has more experience with this style of mod and can suggest something better?

P.S. I was stocked up a couple years ago but reserved the option to fortify if the threat increased, which it has. It's hard to believe the Trump administration will allow the vape business in the US to be wiped away in one stroke before the 2020 election.

Don't see that it is protected.
I know zero about mechs but have an Ehpro Armor.
Never used it. And hope I never do.
It does have some protection.
Would be interested to see suggestions from others as well.

Thanks for the links sofarsogood. These are right up my alley. Got em on my wish list for my next order.
Here’s the one I ordered.

I need more nic, but it's too hot right now to have it delivered. I hope there is time to wait until Sept.
The mod has a circuit board, easily replaced, that should protect against the safety issues, shorts, reverse battery, low voltage, etc. Spare boards are available and inexpensive. It seems to me to be the least expensive way to increase backup mods.
I've settled on one particular rda clone for all day everyday use. I was able to get a bunch of them from FT for $7 each before they seemed to be discontinued everywhere. My preferred mod, the original pico, has a screen life problem so the shelf life of those is a worry.
I told you about the safe little SXK Atto mech back in April my man. Happy that you are now recommending them. You seemed set on the very problematic Cthulhu mech at that time. Glad you like the Atto too. Needless to say, stock up on the chips at every opportunity, the tube will not be an issue in the future.
Nic in September for me, too. IT WILL BE OKAY!!!
LOL @Rossum garages are so useless. They really are. When I had one, I primarily used it for like running into the back of it and making dents because I forgot to open them. I mean.. not a LOT. But enough... If you get what I'm saying.
Plus you could be in a thrilling movie where Scotty Gottleib got accidentally FROZEN in you walk in.
In my misspent youth I worked at a lot of restaurants. I LOVE walk in freezers.

Nah, they keep your car cool when it's hot and sunny out. They keep you from getting soaked when it's pouring rain. They keep you from having to scrape the snow and ice off your car in the winter (not applicable in Florida or southern Arizona). They keep tree stuff (pollen, seeds, leaves, etc) from clogging up the various water drains. Bottom line: A garage-kept car will last a lot longer than one that spends its life parked out in the elements all the time.
Yeah, we've all seen the picture.
