Are you done stocking up?

You can use these:
FastTech - Gadgets and Electronics
As sacrificial parts to extend the life of mods with brass 510s. You attach/detach the tanks from these adapters rather than the mod 510. I use them on everything, so I can use a lanyard, but they also reduce wear on the mod 510.


I use these heat sinks.

Even though I'm a low wattage vaper, I use them as thread savers. I also just like the way they look but they do add a little extra weight to the setup, which is a downside.

YAY! GLad that helped you. BTW that tiny screw on the side he complains about losing. You do NOT need to remove it to get the tube off. Just loosen it. ;)

Edit: I had about a dozen subtank minis and extra parts in my 2016 stockup. So I did a LOT of building on that deck. FYI the NEBox uses the same deck if anyone has any of those around. I have one still running from 2016 and 2 still in shrinkwrap. Ended up long term not being a fan of the things. Hot leaky mess (The NEBox)
Aside from 4 Digiflavor Sirens and some old school SXK Wines (anybody remember those), my entire stash is the STM. I have 16 of 'em, along with another 20 extra RBAs. It has been hell watching all of you stock up on these cool new tanks, but my wife has the budget on lock down with Christmas coming up.

You guys are bad influences. When I realized they take the same coils as the Smok TFV8 baby I grabbed 2 of em. I have a ton of coils and rebuild decks for the Smok and not many tanks. Probably wise not to rely almost entirely on squonkers and drippers. Having a few tanks is not a bad thing.

I think it’s likely that nic will be banned, but we can’t be 100% sure that’ll happen.

I'm pretty certain the Feds will eventually ban nic base sales to consumers. If they don't ban it, they will heavily tax it like was already mentioned in this thread. It goes without saying. The govt exists mainly to tax it's people or to make their life miserable (usually through taxation but also through prohibition, which also makes them money by dipping their hands in the black market - ie. "war on drugs"). Govt may seem necessary and good, but govt is, in fact, violent and evil in most cases.

There's this guy on a forum called ECF who has and continues to document actual storage experiments.

That nic is all 2 years and 8 months old. The bottles on the left have been in a metal box (to keep them in the dark) at room temperature in a climate-controlled house. The bottles on the right have been in a small, 2.1 cubic foot freezer. In the thread linked above, you'll find other pics of the same samples taken during their first year of aging. Bottom line: There isn't a really significant difference how PG and VG base ages.

I remember, I saw your thread a few weeks ago but never finished reading it.
Will go back. That's the problem with forums when it comes to popular but important threads like that. Lots of filler posts and so takes a while to sift through the important information.

I have nicotine (100mg/mL) in my freezer from 2011 ish and though out the years to now. I taste no difference between the old nic and the fresh nic from Nic River. Slight oxidation (very slight) in the VG Nic. Other than that I'm almost done with stocking up on nicotine.

How could I forget, recently I have been going back to using KR808D1 and 510 cigalikes with mini tanks and sometimes cartos.

I have also been using an auto eGo battery with clearomizers to simulate a cigar, but auto eGo batteries are hard to find.

I've been mainly using these because I have been having "urges" to use cigarette and cigar form factors without the use of a button. Been getting sick of box mods and having to push a button. It's nice to "V" a cigarette or grip a cigar in my fingers and not have to use a button. Funny how after all these years that urge came back.

Actually, that urge never left, it's been with me all this time. It's much more satisfying to smoke than to vape. I'm a smoker at heart, not a vaper, but I will never go back to smoking. I just want to simulate it. I can't even stand the smell of it anymore. It angers me when I smell it when I'm out in public. It' so nauseating. I can smell cigarette smoke a mile away anymore.

Using these devices also helps to keep my eliquid usage down.

@Koolkiz - VapeWild has the original version Berserker (my absolute all-time favorite RTA) in the 24mm size, in stock in Gold and in Rainbow...for $23.00 + S/H. Those are rare to find from any vendor in the US and/or overseas now, especially at that price. If I didn't already have a big stash of them, I'd jump on another 1 or 2 of them.

VapeWild is likely (but I have never 100% verified it) owned in part or in whole by Big Tobacco, as are VaporBeast (verified) and DirectVapor (verified). Just a PSA for those that like to know such things. VaporFi (verified), too. But then who here shops at vaporFi? lol

I digress.
