Vaping since 8/9/2012
With my favorite recipes already determined I make 200 ml batches. I use a 20 ml syringe for nic and flavoring and a beaker for the VG and pour it all into an amber glass bottle and shake then transfer into some old vendor bottles I saved for carrying around with me. Takes about ten minutes. I don’t experiment much now that I’ve found what I like, although I’ll mix up the flavorings sometimes.

I mix on a scale. I got tired of cleaning the syringes and needles, and it's faster for me. When I started mixing I measured using syringes, and it is a good place to start. I also mix straight into the juice bottle because it's easier than constantly cleaning equipment.

This week, I hope to vacuum-pack all my storage mods (with desiccant packets). I'm wondering whether I should do the same with my backup attys, which I intend first to disassemble and lubricate. Good idea? Overkill?
Sounds like overkilll to me, Zazie. An atty has no electronics, and I don't think removing moisture from their environment would really do anything to help. Most should be ss, and be okay. Others may disagree. But then, I'm only planning for about 5 years, and figure I'll quit after then if things get tough.

I think we'll all find out how our stocking plans worked in future years :) Mine is mostly from 3 yrs ago. I did clean and lube threads on all my used Provari's. I lubed the threads on new ones too. Put desiccants in & I just checked all of them last week and they look great. I'm going to clean and store one of my Radius's and clean threads on the P3 I just got and add to storage. So far so good, everything in pristine condition :)

Next...simpleminded question...where can I buy 125ml. bottles...that have ml. markings on them...with tops to fill my tanks...(or with droppers)???

If you can wait until tomorrow morning ('cause it's past midnight here now), and hold off ordering any bottles...I can likely help you out with that. I'll PM you when I'm up and had at least a cup of coffee. :)

Maybe I'll just lube the attys and forgo the vacuum-packing. Not sure, though. I live right by a bay and there's a lot of salt in the air.

I'm not sure about using desiccants with them, though. I want to keep them lubricated, not dry them out.

I'm still here on ECF... sort of. ;)

If there’s a ton of salt in the air, by all means, go ahead and vacuum pack.
It would be overkill for me, but I don’t live at the shore anymore. Do what you think you need to to preserve your vape stuff so you don’t need to smoke.
I should go through all of my stuff, take inventory, get rid of useless stuff (boxes for stuff I don’t have anymore, etc), and pack it all in one spot. I’ve got stuff here and there in this box in that box under that desk in this closet and in that drawer right over there. My nic is stored nicely in plastic ammo cans packed with towels around the individual bottles and stored in a dark spot in the closet (I don’t have freezer space).

Lube the o-rings with VG. Desiccant strikes me as overkill with atties; they should be intrinsically corrosion resistant.

Get a small freezer. Unless you like skunk-nic, you'll be thankful you did.
