Are you done stocking up?

[Vandal]

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.

Mastering Food Preservation: Ball’s BPA-Free Canning Lids

This page is much better for determining if any Ball Jar lids we have are BPA-free. It has good illustrations, and I was able to determine easily that my lids are BPA-free. At the bottom, the author notes that Jarden Home Brands reported that “The coating does not contain BPS and is not enamel based.” That still doesn't answer what it does contain. I'm still researching the Quattros. Looks like their jars are very reasonably priced, too.

Also, this is in response to @satchvai

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.

Well that is really a good deal on the VG/PG now do I have room to store 4 gallons!!! I was thinking maybe 1 gal of each for now, hmmmm......

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

I think this works out even better:
4 Gallons PG-VG Crazy Pricing: Essential Depot

I found this only after clicking on the page.They offer free shipping and took $4.00 off also
Glycerin Vegetable KOSHER USP - 2 x 1 Gallon Containers - FREE US SHIPPING

The have it for pg also and for 1 pg and 1 vg.

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

Prepping is buying the stuff you will actually use.

hoarding is like my former Neighbor Bobbie S. When she passed away she has 500/ceramic teapots, and 100+ Barbie dolls she only had a 1 bedroom apt. Have NO idea where she kept it all and had room for her food and clithes.

Hoarding is a sickness. Have to have it just because they wants it (tip of hat to Golem.)

8 pages today you guys put in work! Hope I didn't miss $10 RTA's I looked at a white screen too long already today.

Ok I can't find my lighted head magnifier thingy, guess I will have to put it on my need to buy list, geez thought I was done LOL!

bnrkwest, unless you need the light shining directly on what you're looking at, you can always get by with a pair of cheap cheaters instead of an expensive Opti-Visor:

Amazon.com: High Magnification, Unisex Readers, FULL FRAME, 6.00 Strength, by American Reading Glasses: Health & Personal Care

If you need the lights, but don't need the 6x magnification and can make do with 3x, there are always these beauties:

Neither is exactly a fashion statement, but you're not going out for a night at the opera in them.

 

[Bunnykiller]

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

just had a thought... loading up the livestock when the weather gets really cold... at least they wont freeze

Okay, forget the Quattro lids. They are made of aluminum and I saw all manner of complaints that they rust and mold. Another statement I found from Jarden Home Brands: The [newer] lids are a tin-plated steel with a BPA-free modified vinyl, and the varnish is a modified epoxy. I'm too tired right now to look into that but will later. I'd like to use my jars to store my PG and VG as I don't like leaving them in plastic. I just have to assure myself that these lids will not off-gas like the BPA lids can.

Best of all might be vintage lids with rubber seals, but I think for the wide mouthed jars, they might be difficult to find.

Ok I can't find my lighted head magnifier thingy, guess I will have to put it on my need to buy list, geez thought I was done LOL! Might as well get a bit more VG and PG while I'm at it.

Might as well...

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.

The Denatured alcohol thing is one of the reasons I stocked up. I vape 50/50. Bought a cube of VG and a Gallon of PG. (I already had some of each since I DIY) My Nic is PG based and my flavorings are as well.

It looks like I only have 3 outstanding orders: FT order is on a boat, 3 of those hana modz one mods and my bull city flavors show up tomorrow. Already got some more flavors in a cart at onestop (thx to this thread).

Made my first single flavor (NN BRY4 (blend of berries with RY4)) DIY juice today and it wasn't too bad shaked n vaped. All but one bottle of nic is in the new freezer and the bottle that had leaked (cross threaded cap, probably only lost a ml or 2, cap was able to be rethreaded) will be put in the freezer tomorrow or the next day after I make a few more 100ml batches of DIY recipes for me and my housemate. Can't believe I never got on to the forums and started DIY (or stocking up) sooner.

Thx again for all your help and spending of my credit line.

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.

I go through almost exactly 1ml of 100mg base a day. I have enough that I figure I have a 95% chance there will still be some left when I die. You see, I decided quite some time ago that I'd rather have "too much" than wake up some morning when I'm old, wishing I had bought more while it was still readily available and very affordable.

Maybe put plastic wrap or something under the seal? or better yet look for the seal they sell for jars that goes under the lid. I bought a bunch of jars when I was making skin cream and the seals cover the bottom of the lid. That might work?

Well I bought a cube too, the price was so good I would have spent that easy on a gallon of each, so went for it! I guess I am in turbo prep mode. Plus hubby was just saying don't we have more glycerin somewhere ?? Now I can say sure, 2 gallons! LOL

 

[Tommy-Chi]

All the talk about potentially putting something in it to make it unvapeable.... kind of spooked me.

I never thought the day would come that I would be stocking up. Talk about naive

Naive? NO. When considering the hate and deception of other people souls (ANTZ), you would have to match them wit for wit to know what they were thinking/planning. I don't think any of us is as evil.

That is why it is great that we reflect upon the possibilities of their acts as a group. Together we will survive.

I'm kind of curious if the old canning practice of paraffin wax would work....
