I went for 8oz squeezy bottles but I finished another 240ml so I bought another 500ml.
Good math since more is better and free shipping at $50.

No more Chemnovatic so I got the PurNic since I haven't tried it. Was that a mistake?

Why the mysterious lack of detail? I wanna know what company, what state and what price! :lol:
I forget... it was e-cigsomething. It was posted in this thread but that was months ago and I think they had changed their name and now only sell flavoring. It was like $30 a liter or so. I think it was the state of Washington.

EDIT: NM I see @JoeyC answered.

Thanks for the reponses to my stocking up plan.

This may help!

THE FLAVOR APPRENTICE SHELF LIFE FLAVOR INFORMATION...

Thank You. It sounds like if the bottle has been opened, transfer to glass! Unopened TFA says it's fine. Not sure about the others. I know some companies do repackaging and if that's the case, I suspect repackaging into glass bottles is also probably the way to go.

I would put some 21700/18650 mods in the mix. From what I have read, there is compelling evidence that 21700 will replace 18650 at some point (when? that's impossible to tell - but the cost of producing 21700 is getting lower and lower).

Yes. This is a very good point. I do have a couple of 21700 mech mods and one uwell Nanchuku 2 but probably picking up a couple more regulated 21700 mods makes a bunch of sense. Thank you very much for this suggestion. It's interesting, I dropped a VGOD mech mod right on the threads bending the tube. I learned the hard way that everything has it's achilles heel and can be destroyed. Even Mech mods. For those of you old enough to remember, think Burgess Meredith and his glasses at the end of the famous Twilight Zone episode.

You have an excellent plan. I really like your thought process on how you prepped, it's effective, efficient, and logical. Planning for stealth/open vaping was a great touch. As far as flavors go, I have 10 year old flavors...If in doubt, try to ensure any long-term stored flavors are packaged in glass IMO.

Thank you for your kind thoughts. I spent too much time overthinking this and probably spent too much money buying it, but I am just about there and I rationalize it that either way, I won't be buying much vape gear in the future.

Also picked up a few purchases I would be sad if I couldn't buy later. Like at Xmas time, 3fvape was selling Athea Genesis clones for $5 a piece. 4 of them for $20 seemed like a steal and genesis builds are very nostalgic for me. Lots of spare parts for those attys now.

Good to know about the flavoring. As I mentioned above, if a flavor has been factory sealed, should it be transfered? Do they all use Nitrogen? Probably should be transferred. Some of the nicotine I bought is meant for long term storage (Nude V2, if I remember right). I also asked Nic River about their storage and they said it was meant for long term storage and could be frozen in the container. I did transfer my Wizard Labs Nicotine to glass and used Argon to top it off.

As far as flavors go, I have 10 year old flavors that were exposed to heat and light. Most are just as good as they were when purchased new, the only change in those was a loss of potency (10-20%), but I have a small number that became unusable after this. The negatively affected flavors were stored in plastic bottles, and I suspect leaching had something to do with it. It's just suspicion as I don't have the equipment to test this theory. If in doubt, try to ensure any long-term stored flavors are packaged in glass IMO.
    One of the reasons I prefer NicVapes, they bottle in glass.

    There was a time when flavors packaged in glass were top shelf. Things changed, but I still think glass is the king for storage. Plastic squeeze bottles are much easier for mixing though. Beats syringes for mixing using a scale for sure. ADV flavors that get used alot benefit from this packaging solution greatly.

    I just use a pipettes to transfer flavoring. I don't mind this, it is easy.

    Straight stainless wins, lowest price [emoji106]

    I know I'll want another bubble glass for it, though can wait for them to become available.

    I've got a veco plus on the way from healthcabin, a 4ml option for those Vaporesso euc heads, ended up $18 shipped. If I really like the EUCs, I'll keep an eye out for another good sale, could end up eventually putting the kanger gear (TTM, Protank 4, 129 0.5 ohm heads) into a classified. It all depends on how things look going forward.

    My 2 orders with ejuicesteals, both recent, have gone well. First order was the 130 kanger heads and a pair of ttm spare glass, full order received quickly. The second order, a couple of eliquids that look interesting, will arrive tomorrow; that one took awhile after it was shipped, but was purely weird usps routing, not ejs' error.

    You just missed the latest heartland vape $10 off for Valentine's Day (brought the price to $35/liter for 100mg/ml House Nicotine).

    You might want to sign up for their mailings, else check in here before a holiday has passed - they've been consistent with the $10 off sales).

    Gotta watch the fine print on Wizard Labs since John (the original owner) sold the business. Now nic base sales only include up to the 500mL size, and it's not inexpensive at all, even with a sale. Their S/H has gone nuts, too. I live within 45 miles of them, and they wanted a minimum of $6.95 to ship (1) 120mL bottle + (1) 30mL bottle of flavoring to me. BCF, Gremberry Farms (Gremlin DIY), Flavor Jungle, etc., etc. are all in the $4-$4.50 range for S/H on the same amount...and even for more mLs!
