Are you done stocking up?

[kross8]

I use a needle-tipped plastic 50mL bottle to dispense my nicotine for mixing. I counted the drops it takes to reach 1 mL of liquid by weight on my scale. In my case it was 66 drops per mL. It will vary based on what bottle, tip, and which base your nicotine is suspended in (eg. vegetable glycerine forms a larger drop than propylene glycol).

I'm using 100 mg PG nicotine. I divided 100 by 66 and it came out to 1.1515~ mg per drop on average. I'm sure there is some variation, but it doesn't matter much to me.

I open an altoids tin and spread the mints out in a tupperware container flat. Then I put one drop on each mint. Let it sit out overnight to fully absorb the nicotine (even though it might not be necessary, the nicotine solution looks mostly absorbed in less than an hour). The next day I put the mints away.

Your drop/mL measurements or nicotine strength may be different, or you might want a different strength of nicotine/mint. I only use one drop and it works good, not sure if more liquid would still absorb. It might be worth diluting your nicotine and trying it a lower strength, then working up from there in small increments.

The mints takes some getting used to, try not to chew them or suck on them, it works best for me to leave them under my tongue. Swallowing saliva that has too much nic in it makes me hiccup, and is a little harsh. After I got the use down right, they work great for me.

Never leave them where anyone, especially children, can access them, and always put them in a child safe container. I like the one I use because it looks ugly, very unnatractive, and is old and worn out, and it has a child lock cap on it. Also it's waterproof and small enough for me to keep in my pocket.

As always, try at your own risk, just my opinion, be safe, etc.

Thank you for the details,, easier than making candy! My domestic goddess days pretty much ended when my son grew up,,,, although she is wandering around when I get to see my grandchildren

Kinda freaked out with @Baditude 's post.

In the past week I've ordered:
A freezer
6L of nicotine
2 more Geekvape Solo kits (I got my camo today not on sale)
6 Steam Crave Aromamizer RTAs
4 Top tank Clones
An Aegis Legend
22 boxes of Top tank OCC coils
3 boxes of TFV12 coils
20 boxes of Cerberus mesh coils
2 different Geekvape Zeus RTAs

Add that to my 2016 stash still sitting at my Mom and Dad's. Gonna have Dad ship me my coil building box so I can get started back up with builds and hopefully keep the coils just for walking around.

Still don't feel stocked up but if they hit the light switch tomorrow I'd be fine for 40-50 years.

Could use some more dual battery mods. We'll see how things shake out here and maybe I'll actually start waiting for some codes again.

Does your tank tops come with rba also? Have a look at Kanger to check these out if you are interested in rebuilding your own coils for them. Need to register and log in to see prices. Love the tank tops and the sub rba
Sale use code VD10 at the top of every page of their site.
Kanger SubTank Mini V2

As leaky as the vivi nova was, those orings are probably useless , but I’m sure at least a couple of bags came with them. I did a pretty thorough clean out about a year ago. Mainly because someone was looking for some old gear they couldn’t buy anymore and I knew I had. Somewhere. In one of the boxes. It was painful, but at least now I’m down to things I actually might use, and the stuff I won’t found homes

Ph Sweetie when I was taking stock last week I stumbled on the coils and tanks for the old ego-C system I started vaping with in 2013. COmpared to those vivi novas were high tech!

Quality over quantity. I could have 6 dozen Smok mods and be SOL in six months, or ten other mods of better quality that will long outlast those by a long time. I hedged my bets by buying several different brands/chips....some dna, some yihi, Provari etc. I have some mechs, some new, some from maybe 10 years ago. I’d have to see those 156 mods before I got jealous

EXACTLY!

This is why I invested in the REOs and the Provaris and spare parts. Nearly indestructible mods.

 

[Myrany]

That brings back memories
Remember the "Vamos"
I bought a bunch of those el-cheap-o's 7 years ago, and they are still working great ... keeping up with the best of them... using daily

Um i still have a vamo and it still works ROFL

 

[FranC]

Um i still have a vamo and it still works ROFL

Me too

At least if I run out of spares for old stuff, you’re in the state . We can always swap goodies

That's what I thought, buy quality DNA mods and they should last, but the only mods that have died on me were expensive DNA mods. Of course they were out of warranty so no free Evolve replacement.
Now I just buy last years gear for bargain prices, which includes many DNAs for under $30. No Smok mods though.
Was never interested in Provari's but have a stack of REOs and other dependable mech squonkers.
Buy quality cheap, stack em deep.
Not trying to make anyone jealous, just the way I've decided to stock up...

I believe in never being the first buyer... wait until everyone else sees how they hold up. I bought late on most of mine, even the Provaris. I’m afraid I came late to squonking, but mine are mechs, so it should be good. And heaven knows, NEVER Smok .

Okay, you got my attention. Can you spare a brother a link? Love me some DNA!

Unfortunately not anymore.
Picked up several Sbody Macros when vaping.com was discounting them in 2017.
Bought 4 Kanger K1 DNA75s (non stabilized) for $25 a couple years ago.
All made for 22mm tho.
Look for the upcoming going out of business sales. Should be some bargains.

Can never find the damn it emoji when I need it!

Heartland Vapes has the best prices, free shipping over $50 and good customer service.

Nicotine Solution - 100mg Liter

Pick up 1L of 100mg and a gallon of PG or VG and that's enough for free shipping.

I did the 1 liter today, 4 8-oz amber bottles with poly caps to store it in, then added a random small bottle cap to reach 50.10 [emoji3]

Smoant Pasito arrived, with rba and a pack of spare heads. Pocket friendly, decent vape. Looking forward to trying an rba build when my twisted 30 kanthal comes in from FT [emoji3]

Hello again everyone,

After reading a few of the other threads here tonight, I am trying hard to not be thoroughly demoralized. I am sorry we are going through this and I hope everyone is finding their way around it. (I hope I make it clear I am so extremely upset for those who vape and cannot stock up/DIY for whatever reason and especially for those who still smoke.)

Tonight I made my first big batch of DIYorDIE Funfetti Cake. It was a success. I’ve put the majority of it away in the freezer (I have always only been lucky with freezing eliquid so that’s the method I’m going with) so that quelled my immediate anxiety about being able to get that done. I’m not going to stockpile things like VG because I figure that is something I can get at Walmart or CVS even in small amounts at once (forgive any naïveté I may be demonstrating with that statement).

So, again, I’m going onward with my plan to continue stockpiling mods. I can move back into dripping or my RTAs at any time.

But it is such a shame. All of it. And my heart feels so heavy.

Apparently, congress is gong to order an emergency ban on all vape products. Read it on another thread. No surprise but is moving at light speed.

The congress does not have the power you describe. Only the executive branch has that power. Congress can pass legislation which takes time.

Well I do have to admit I have 2 SMOK Aliens and several regulated squonkers. I do love my Pulse x BF squonkers. But the real workhorses of my vapocalypse plan have always been my REOs.

 

[Zazie]

Hope you like Provari's and Kayfun Lite +'s LOL!

Two of my faves, and I'm late to the party.

My first tube mod. It's protected, Fastech about $14. The replacement boards are $5. I'm going to have a couple of the tubes and half a dozen of the boards. It seems like a cost effective way to have backups for the backups. I'm looking for a small MTL tank or rda with better resistance to leaking than my trusty SV rda clones. My only gripe is the fire button is tiny and hard to fine. I'll always prefer my Picos and vtc minis but I'd vape this tube if there was nothing else available.

I say, breath deeply, panic is the wrong emotion. It turns out we have political clout, probably more of it than anyone realized. That's partly why they are hitting us so hard. They've gone from dismissing us to fearing us, and well they should.

Kinda freaked out with @Baditude 's post.

In the past week I've ordered:

6 Steam Crave Aromamizer RTAs

I had 5 unopened Aromamizer V2's and 6 unused Trinity X glass tanks for Aromamizers in the classifieds
a month ago
and the month before that
and the month before that
and the month before that
and the month before that
and the month before that
for 90 bucks total
I still have them

I don't know why talking about it outside of the classifieds would be verboten since nobody new's been verified for years so there's been no new customers etc.
