I do have the goods necessary to DIY my own juice which is in the freezer. My DIY flavoring is in the "cool dark place" as well as the store bought juice (Kentucky Sin etc). I don't want to begin doing DIY until I've cleared out some of the store bought juice, which is 6+ months. My question was should I place my store bought juice in the refrigerator. I apologize if I'm not clear with my wording...I'm new to this. I appreciate all your help!
I keep all my premixed liquids in the fridge. I might have put some in the freezer but the nic takes up all the available space.

If you want to stretch your premix liquid it helps if you start cutting it with unflavored, adding nic if needed to keep at your level. I've been doing that with my favorites for a couple years, getting to the point that I use premix as flavoring. It's amazing how well one's taste buds adapt - regular premixes now taste way too strong to me.

I bought some coils, extra pods and RBA's for the PAL 2 I got from Mt Baker. Accessories were way more than the unit, but at $3 each I am not complaining LOL!
I picked up the Pal 2 someplace cheap also and it vapes well, the RBA is a PITA

FastTech has now removed their Coronavirus sticky from the top of their pages. Maybe they are back to normal?:thumb:

For me the next hurdle is them restocking their inventory.... then it is delivery.

    I always knew @Haktuspit couldn't be trusted!!! I mean with a name like that, you know something is fishy. :lol::lol::lol: lol

    They have had 30% off coupons before and for Veterans Day they had 40% off... they must not care about Valentines Day. I guess my order will have to wait to see if they like St Patrick's Day. lol

    I'll have you know that I didn't just post that code, I filled up a cart and used the code to make sure it worked first and THEN posted it to the thread. ;)

    Perhaps it was a code just for me, which the email says but they always say stuff like that and 99% of the time they're lying. Which makes me wonder... why didn't you guys get 35% off emails? I only put in one order with them. In any case mine is no longer working so I guess I don't need more coils. (I really don't).

    (This is Vaprzon we're talking about in case you're lost)

    I never get the emails and I have ordered from them several times.... I think it is because my email address has periods in it and some mailing list scripts have trouble with that. I tried to sign up yesterday for the newsletter using a different email address but I kept getting an error. :( Did you copy that code from the original email you got or from the receipt email? Because I have seen on at least 2 different sites that the code on the receipt email had the code scrambled... not sure why they do that.

    And you know I was pulling your leg with the not trusting you, right? Lol

    That's weird if the period is causing issues with email, it's 2020 already. Yeah I just copied the code, good ol' ctrl C --> ctrl V. Did look like a really long and complicated code. Also didn't say anything about when it ended, just said to see the site for details, the site had no details.

    And yeah I totally got that part, no worries. Haha

    I coulda been. Did you get store credit or something like a promotional discount?

    Once I ordered from VapeNW and they were out of stock on a couple items. They refunded my with a coupon code (with the option for cash refund) and the code was just like that with a bunch of random characters - good for one-time use and only for my account. Most likely automatically generated by the shopping cart system.

    I've had some diy in just a cool dark place for over a year with no problems. Fridge should be fine, as well, although the possibility of some of them separating, as Papa said, do exist. The only issue is the flavorings. Some separate, some don't.

    And I also agree, start your diy experiments now, while you still have a supply of store bought. While it's often possible to hit a decent mix right off, having some favorites on hand while you tune it - or even just need a few weeks for it to steep! - makes sense.



    Uh huh. Are you SURE that light goes out?? :cry:

    the owner of the vape shop told me something...
    I told him my pg & vg based nicotine got stolen from the garage.

    the point he picked up on was ‘you left it in the garage?’
    The garage is too cold for nicotine!

    the coldest it’s ever got (here where I am) in recent history (maybe ever since recording) was -2 c

    then he said “you should have stored it at room temperature”


    must be a long drive on his commute from the Arctic...

    If you like the 0.5 ohm ccell, you might also like the 0.3 ohm ccell 2. 35% off brings them down to $4.55/pack.

    Nominal operating range for ccell 2 is 10w higher than ccell (35/40W vs. 25/35W).
    I realize low resistance is all the rage. I've tried down to 0.15 & 0.18 ohm, and came out with the primary impression that the main difference is burning through battery charge a lot faster. And requiring a lower mg eliquid, while consuming a lot more of it. What's not to like?
    Although I've acquired some lower resistance coils packaged with recently purchased kits, the advantage eludes me and I'd rather stay 0.5 or higher. On the other hand, if they're cheap enough they can be thrown into the backup emergency bin, LOL. Still, not my focus. Thanks for the tip though.

    Here's an old vaprzon 20% code that I just tried, which worked in my cart: 20KR4CAEBC100H-off

    It might work for someone else since I just used it in my cart, didn't checkout, and removed the code from my cart.

    (10 packs of ccell 2 discounted to 55.92, which would also get free shipping)

    D'oh - it's one @Haktuspit previously listed, appears to still be valid [emoji3]

    Nope nothing like that. The email did say "Just for you!" but I didn't think they were serious. Looks like they were if no one else was able to replicate that code. Maybe it was a one time use coupon and someone else in the thread got the use. Wouldn't be mad at that at all if I really cared I would have checked out before posting it.

    @markfm I just tried that code and it worked for me. Didn't check out so it should still be active.

    For me it's about finding things that play nice on both regulated and mechs.

    It turns out that I really like to be around 30 - 35w, which works out as a 0.4 ohm coil. On RDA/RTA that's easy to do with my preferred twisted 26 kanthal.

    For prebuilt heads I have some 0.5 that are pretty solid, though in the case of the gt ccell it's a tossup. I've ended up with a healthy stock of the ccell 2 0.3 ohm in part due to vaprzon having the frequent good sales, with maybe 1/3 of my gt heads the ccell 0.5 ohm from other suppliers.

    (If Vaporesso had a ccell 0.4 ohm those are the ones I'd have a big stock of.)

    Somewhere out there
    Stocking up strategy question:

    Would you rather -

    Double up on something you've used before or

    Diversify to something not personally known, but decent reviews, just in case it might be better in the long run?

    Advance warning - voting for "both" will be considered a weasily cheater's answer.
