I ordered amber bottles for storing my nic in the freezer at glassbottleoutlet.com. I have had nic in my freezer since 2014 that is good as new. It’ll be fine.
Thanks, the site I was looking at earlier today had a 30 bottle minimum... lol I was debating whether or not to transfer them to glass, do you really think it is worth it? Today's plastics are pretty good, non-leeching, etc. And the plastic bottles are sealed, breaking the seal could risk some minor contamination for each bottle.

Years ago (10 maybe), when I would order nicotine, it always came in Amber glass bottles, but one time my shipment had a broken bottle, not too long after that my supplier switched to plastic. I worry about glass bottles and my clumsiness that I may drop a liter and waste it.

And what is the verdict on filling those? Fill them right to the top to eliminate air because PG/VG does not expand? Or leave a gap?

    The RBA deck that works in the Cerebus tank that comes in the solo kit is the the one for the Smok TFV8 baby. I got mine from fasttech years ago or if you have a TFV8 baby a rebuild deck comes with it so check your box.

    Baby Beast RBA Head by SMOK This I think is the right one but do some homework on if the baby beast and the baby are the same deck

    Can someone confirm if this is the right rba for the Cerberus? I’ve got a few and don’t want to stock up on coils.

    I get the 8 oz bottles so if I have fumble fart fingers and drop one not too much is wasted. I recommend glass but it’s a personal choice. Mine are fairly full and there is a thread by Rossum somewhere that shows nic contracts and doesn’t expand in the freezer.

    THey are the same. I just dug out the box (sorry it took so long). Baby and Baby beast are the same so yes it will and does fit in the cerebus. I just stuck it in my cerebus and it fires.

    It is the BIG BABY BEAST tank that needs a different glass to use it.Not to be confused with the baby/baby beast. Back then it was like SMOK was coming out with a new tank every month and the naming got confusing.

    Trying to figure whether to go with another one or two plain solos, or do one kit with the Cerberus. I really like the Hellbeast, though other than the Nautilus compatibility it should be about the same as the Cerberus.

    Anyone have both Cerberus & hellbeast? Does the Cerberus play well at lower power (down in the 30 - 40 zone)?

    (Hellbeast stays pretty quiet, and the airflow options plus 510 adapter make for a very satisfying setup.)

    I use my cerebus at 27 watts and it is a glorious flavorfull vape (.46 ohm coil). I do not however have a Hellbeast. The Cerebus is SMOK TFV8 Baby coil compatible

    Great, thanks.

    For a long term stash, then, two more solos, one in the Cerberus kit form, should do the trick. That'll get me to 3 solos, 1 Oceanus, and my old but faithful Clooper mini.

    OTOH, my multiple squonkers (both mech and regulated) also all do fine with tanks, as do my handful of tube mechs. A couple more Solos is a "for grins" [emoji16] (good price).

    (I've been rolling my own coils the last handful of years. A couple of modem tanks, with a stock of heads, are truly "just-in-case".)

    FOr my squonkers (and even regular dripping) This is my favorite atty https://www.fasttech.com/p/6228800
    It comes with both a squonk pin and a regular one. It is a single coil and works nicely at lower wattages. Dead easy to build too

    I've got precisely that one, plus several wasp nanos, and a half dozen others (okay, a dozen if I count the freebies from some kitted setups, and contests) from the last 3 - 4 years. My personal best-of-breed for squonker high flavor toppers, single coil, are the two vapefly setups (galaxies mtl rdta and holic rda). I'm looking at jumping on the Copperhead Hussar Project X bandwagon for an RTA.

    For something less spendy, here's the view from the deck at our camp. A gorgeous weekend, the wife and I have been working on some chores. Our own three Hellbeasts are solidly caged [emoji3]

    Well I did some more storing, putting no-ox on threads, so that is done :) Had to dedicate a new drawer to mods LOL I also checked my FT orders and looks like one went thru twice, it was a bit wonky when I ordered, but thought what the heck, I'll just get double of what I ordered for the dark ages LOL
