Are you done stocking up?

some more 6mg math

498ml of 100mg nicotine
5,312ml of PG
2,490ml of VG
Net = 8,300ml of 6ml unflavoured 70PG 30VG

I was just coming back to say I was not 100% positive of the size as I have not tried them yet with the CLR coils. I ordered the rubber ones for the nautilus coils (which are a bit too long but can easily be cut to fit) so if you try to silicone ones with the CLR please let me know.

Unfortunately the Clone Core Silicone & Fasttech rubber insulators are both too small to work in the CLR coils. They both fall inside the housing. The CLR insulator is about 7 mm diameter, and the other two are 5mm.

Oh well, let the hunt continue.

I honestly can't see them tainting the PG and VG supply. Too many other industries depend on it. Can you imagine if a food processor got a hold of some of the tainted stuff and it ended up on the food shelves for consumers to eat.

I believe they've been selling palm-derived for all these years and that the soy is a new thing. So I'ld get the palm.

You got me calculating for myself.

For the first 5 years, while I'm using my 48 mg/ml and 60 mg/ml nic, I would need 2 liters VG and 4 liters PG.

For each succeeding 5 years, while using 100 mg/ml nic, I would need 2 liters VG and 5 liters PG.

I think.

Damn, it's hard prepping for the future. Huh?

@bnrkwest - Wait! Wait! You may not be finished even yet! Have you tried the Baked Cinnamon Roll One Shot Flavor from OSDIY Shop? If not...Wow is it good, mixed at even 7-8%!

Since I know you have a bunch of Lucky Shot already, too, like I do...I then also tried a small amount of it that I'd made up, in with about 2 times the amount of the BCR already made...and OMG! I didn't know any eliquid could taste this wonderful! Makes me want to just drip it directly on my tongue!!

Oh my sounds wonderful ! I may have to get that too LOL! Ah I guess I really will not ever be done ha ha

USP grade VG is even sold in my local grocery stores. Sold as Glyceryn for dry skin.

PG and VG are not going anywhere and vapers will never have challenges in obtaining it IMO.

 

[Two_Bears]

To what? VG and PG? If that's what you're referring to, I have considered the possibility that the FDA will require something to be added to them to make them unvapeable.

eta: How long does VG/PG stay good for?

VG is good for 14-22 months us kept ib a cool dark place.

Not surw about PG.

 

[bnrkwest]

I don't think anyone really knows. I've got some that's 2 years old that's been in original plastic the whole time and it seems to be fine. Still, my insurance stash gets put in glass.

I have some 4 yrs old, seems fine but I think long term in glass would be better.

BPA in Canning Lids - Seriously? - Growing A Greener World TV

This may info help determine which Ball Jar lids are BPA-free and which are not. However, the company (from my reading so far) declines to say what they changed to. Claims of BPA-free is one of those marketing ploys that fool you into thinking what they replaced it with is safe. So far, it looks like the replacements can be even worse- eg, BPS. I've been reading the comments, and there is a recommendation for lids that may be safe: QUATTRO STAGIONI (from Bormioli Rocco) which can purchased at goodmans.net. When these posts were made, Amazon had confusing information on the lid sizes and not sure how much I trust purchasing via Amazon anymore.

At any rate, I'm going to research those Quattro lids to be sure about them and will post back. I sometimes use these jars for consumables and want to be safe as I can.

 

[Two_Bears]

I don't see how they could add anything to PG and VG as a routine procedure for ALL of it sold. There are too many other uses for it...that adding something to make it unusable for vaping might very well also affect using it for those things, too!

exactly.

PG is used in flavor extracts, animal safe antifreeze, in ice cream, and lots more

VG ua used in Wine production, asca sweetener, preservative, hand lotion, soap production, etc

Is this thread sponsored by Provape, My Freedom Smokes and Fasttech? Holy crap, this thread is a bad influence.

In any case, I spent more $$ today than I have ever spent in a day since I started vaping. I bought some very expensive mech mods that I have been obsessing over for weeks and a few cheaper accessories. My wife said (and I quote) "oh for %#@& sakes, just buy all 3 and be done with it. Then THAT'S IT!!!"

I agreed... then I bought an authentic Nemesis in the classifieds an hour later.

I'm now done regardless if my wife kills me or not.

fyi.. the whole reason for me using the BPA free lids was to avoid that rubber/glue stuff on the metal rings from 'aging right into my nic'......another board/somewhere had a poster who was very firm about warning others to NOT use the normal canning lids.

this was a bit of a 'drift' for me,, since i grew up on a farm,, and we canned a lot of food with those rings....but since the poster described some sort of 'gooeyness' aspect of the metal rings.. its was easier for me to 'drift' closer to the bpaFree (or not free) lids......i simply didn't want aging rubber and glue dancing with my nic.

NIC is 99% of the battle.

Not sure it's 99%, but for sure at least 90%.

The person with the most NIC wins.

I think I know who that is. It's not me -- I'm probably only in 3rd or 4th place.

Precedent:
Denatured alcohol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I doubt they would actually make it poisonous, nor is it necessary to do that. At some point last year, someone in Europe reported that the small bottles of VG available at local pharmacy started to get a bitterant added to them to make the VG essentially unvapable.

I suppose some might regard it as paranoia. Personally, I look at it all as cheap insurance. For what I used to spend on cigs every 2 weeks, I've got enough PG and VG to make juice for myself for the next 15 years.

Denatured alcohol was poisined usually with methanol, Namptha, etc so the company selling the alcohol could avoid tge liquor taxes.

4l for my wife and I. We are in our mid 40's and at 5-6mg and 5ml each a day, we are set for a long time.

I know of a few people sitting on 20+ litres of 100mg NIC. Crazy unless you chain vape 24mg or mix for 3-4 other people.

 

[Two_Bears]

People... take a deep breath. I know this is a prepping thread, but take another breath. VG and PG is not going away anytime soon. They are used for so much more than vaping. Wire, cotton and favorings will remain available. I am all for stocking up on nicotine, mods and tanks, but a lifetime supply of VG is a bit much.
I have a gallon of VG and a liter of PG. I feel pretty secure on that stash. I would prefer fresh for the future.

Agreed. stock up on items going bye bye. This is a prepping thread not a hoarding thread.

No hoarding here. Maybe some extreme prepping......
