Are you done stocking up?

Freezing nic and bringing it back to temp and freezing again causes zero damage. It always remains liquid. The less time it remains at room temp the better.

I would either break it down into small glass or just put it in quart sized Boston rounds. I would definitely get it in the freezer asap. If I was going to use the nic within a year I wouldn't care. But long term stashes require proper handling. Putting it in a cooler for transport would be optimal but not doing it is nothing to fret either.

If you're driving cross country it's easy. Put the frozen nic in a cooler and add ice. Ice can be picked up just about anywhere to replenish as necessary.

yeti cooler ftw, but not a cheap option. regular ice or dry ice as suggested is probably more cost effective if you would never have a use for the yeti cooler after the move, or you could just sell it on craigslist after the move for 80% of what you paid for it I suppose.

With the priority being keeping nic base cold and without light, I would keep the base in the bottles it shipped in, put them in the freezer then transport in a cheap cooler with some ice. There is no need to be concerned about smaller temperature variations as long is it is cold, and the original bottles would be safest for transport, same as they were for your vendor. Once the nic is at it's new home, rebottling would be next.

Even is a cooler with ice, be sure to bubble wrap the glass bottles for the trip. Glass banging around in a car might result in breakage which would a pretty nasty, toxic cleanup job. That's the one situation where having your nic in an opaque HDPE plastic container is an advantage.

If you are handy with DIY, you could make your own wrap. I'm planning to give it a try. Step one is make a paper pattern with the right cut outs. Then use contact (contac?) paper in clear and cut some out with an exacto. I'm sure it won't be quite as precise as Jwraps, but using clear I think I can make something reasonable.

at Hobby Lobby/Walmart there is decorative duct tape,, it might stick better to the mod. some of those tapes look better than the ones offered on FT

agree,, in this new world I am not sure I would mail myself any nic............I wouldn't do very well in jail

I've gotten out of the DIY Juice thing since moving. I left all of my DIY things when I moved and rather at this point just buy some USA made juices for the time I will need it. SO I've been purchasing several large bottles of juice in 50/50 blend to tide me through. The pending Federal Regulations have caused me to think of the initial reason that I got into vaping which was to quit smoking. Well vaping has sure done that for me and maybe with these regs coming out it is my excuse to quit Vaping when my juice supply runs out. After all I didn't do this to get addicted to another habit. But that's just me and after all this is a personal thing not a group thing. So Vape on Vapees.
Plus the 50/50 mixes are becoming so difficult to find in the quality juices since most Sub Ohm Vape and I never have

I got into vaping as a substitute for smoking. I really enjoyed my cigarettes and knew I wouldn't be able to quit because I didn't want to.

Like almost everyone here, I got into this to stop smoking. When I first moved from cigalikes to a vape pen, I though it would be a great way to get off nic as I could control the concentration and drop it over time until I was off. However, it's become a nice hobby for me. It's not disruptive to my life (other than a money pit), and I believe the long term risks of vaping are low enough that I'm not dissuaded from continuing.

I also feel for the low investment having a few liters of 100 mg nic will allow me to continue as long as I want to, rather than being forced to wean off due to government regulation. I absolutely respect your decision, and have no arguments against exactly that approach. It's sound and reasonable. No one should continue vaping unless they want to.

I did see those, thank you. I just wish they still had the clear wrap. I also purchased the 2.5 Dragon and I definitely want to cover and protect that. The only other clear one I've been able to find is a $13.50 Jwrap.

I've used vinyl for craft cutters on mods before, in particular this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0032JJS5O
for a protective finish they also make it in non-permanent and clear (glossy or matte)

The permanent is definitely permanent and will likely remove the finish if you try to remove or peel if off after it's had time to adhere properly.

I've also used this to protect the finish on copper -> Amazon.com: Liquitex Professional High Gloss Varnish, 4-oz: Arts, Crafts & Sewing
but it doesn't dry as hard as I'd like it to. It does protect the finish and seems to hold up.

That varnish looks perfect for my Glovari! May have to pick some of that up. Good to know that there is a non-permanent option for the vinyl. Thanks for the info!

not a problem. I'd test the varnish on something you don't like first. (not that you wouldn't but I like the CYA)
It dries to the touch fairly quickly, something like 5-10 minutes, seems to self level well and can be recoated in 3 hours. I usually use a q-tip to apply on flat surfaces then let it sit for a while horizontal. On a provari, I'm not sure how I'd go about it. Possibly a dowel to hold it and apply really really thin so that it doesn't drip.

The Ehpro KFL+ is a solid product but the above prices are high IMO. I bought 5 black ones from Health Cabin a few weeks ago for $5 each. Almost as good as the original. Actually, very close to an authentic and includes a bunch of accessories.

If you want authentic, the best deal going IMO is at Dash Vapes in Toronto (they ship to the US regularly) as they have KFL+ for about $55US. I bought 3 from them.

I had a V4 briefly and I wasnt a fan and the 5 is too airy for me in my limited experience.

I have had good luck with Tobeco products, but haven't tried one of their KF clones.

Did you receive the Dual Airflow EHPro version from Health Cabin?

I looked at these but could not determine if they are Single or Dual Airflow versions.

I am sure you know this but just in case, Provape has several nice jwraps for 1.00. I know they have them for the 2.5, not sure about the P3 or others.

I have never looked at those. Some nice wraps for a buck. 3 or 4 of those will go on my list along with some more springs.

I sub ohm 50/50 because too high of a vg causes tightness in my chest I have found when vaping 80/20. 70/30 doesn't bother me too much but the 80/20 I got recently I have had to knock down by mixing in some 30/70 Mr E Rough Neck.

Little help on a nic solution here. Just got my 2L of nic from MyFreedomSmokes RIGHT before they sent an email for age verification. Anyways, I'm moving (temp or perm not sure) back east this fall and I really don't know what to do with the 2L until then. Right now they're just in the kitchen cabinet. Don't want to put it all into glass bottles and then have to travel with them later. Don't want to start freezing the nic if a long road trip is going to do worse damage to it because it's been frozen.

So... what do I do with this stuff? Besides mix up a batch this weekend.

If you will move in 2-3 months you can keep nic in its original bottle (do not open it). Freeze it now. You may freeze/unfreeze nic as many times as you wish, it't opening of the bottle that harms it more. Cold box for travel is good, but even without it you will not spoil your nicotine (it is not a meat, it cannot be spoiled). Just do not leave nicotine in a hot car without a cold box. Nicotine is pretty tough, it takes some effort (and time) to oxidize it.

I am debating on more, should have added them to my order yesterday. In case you missed it, 10% off everything with code summer. Wraps are limited, sort of a clearance, I think.

 

[jdrewry]

I just knew I was done stocking up about a week ago.
Nope.
Another mod...another tank...more batteries...another charger...

LOL, got more tanks in the mail today and feel pretty comfortable with my stock, but not saying anything about being done because I know better.

Was the sale only good for yesterday?
