Yes I actually started saving them again. Right now there just in a pile on my drying towel but I'm going to put them all in a zip lock bag for potential future use. Probably have enough coils to last more than my life but you know the saying, waste not want not.

Also I'm not buying into this Corona virus fear. People are going to catch it, people are going to die and yet the regular old flu is going to kill more people this year and no one is scared of that. All I know is I better be able to get some darned toilet paper at the grocery store tonight or I'm gonna be heated.

Everyone is getting all worked up over nothing. I keep telling everyone to turn off their darned TVs.

I hope you are right! I’m still going to stock up on a very few things though because everyone else is freaking out and hoarding.

Yeah,, I saw that. Figure their talented employees are better protected at home. Slowly the leaked data from China is getting out,,, a lot of complacency in America,,. Flying unicorns make happiness I suppose
I have t seen the leaked info yet. Have any links? I’d really like to read about it. I haven’t seen anything from survivors either.

Tried a few weeks ago,, Twitter has been silencing people.

I will tell you people had photos & videos on cellphone of Chinese govt data from late January/ early Feb showing 25,000+ dead,,, Now, many dont count , listed as suicides,, many assisted ( thrown off buildings).

You would have to drive around the dark web,,, you dont want to do that,, need a vpn,,,a lot of nasty things happen there. Chinese need vpn if they want to see the free world,,, I had high hopes Twitter would become a free speech globally- nope,, in another era they would have banned pleas from Harriet Tubman + Anne Frank

China was welding doors on apartments then fires,,, ,,, they actually thought telling the people that 40 mobile incinerator that can process 55 bodies would calm them down- uh,, No!

Think about it,,, why would they burn 1 apartment building down but not another? Imho- Evidence most likely of human lab rats of stuff the modern world has not approved.

To me the current virus is concerning,, but more of what it may mutate into in a couple of years

I myself will not be surprised to learn that this virus was made in a lab and accidentally leaked. I will be happy to learn otherwise

    I can hardly believe it but I’ve gone a whole week without ordering anything. I’ve still got a few China orders I’m waiting on. Hopefully I can stick with it and stop ordering for a while.

    Every medical professional that I know just says the same thing... "Just wash your hands." The CDC even created a meme for it that said "Keep calm and wash your hands." Most importantly my Mom the blood technician that's always reading up on everything and has taken the roll as the in house family doctor isn't concerned, that says a lot to me too she's a worrier. IDK I've survived a lot of global pandemics in my short time on this earth, something is at least going to have to be more deadly than the regular old flu before I freak out.

    Good news... despite the shelves being only 1/3 full there was decent TP left. Bad news, I set it on top of the self checkout machine (before paying) and that was the last I thought of it until I parked my car at my house. I'll get it tomorrow... and check for hand sanitizer, mostly out of curiosity. Call me old school but I'd rather wash my hands with soap than use that stuff.

    I always have the ingredients to make my own hand sanitizer.

    Take a quart of 91% isopropyl alcohol

    Pour 1/3 of it into another IA bottle

    Fill the 2/3 full 91% bottle with VG

    Shake before each use

    This results in a relatively thin, but effective, mix. Aloe Vera gel can be used instead of vg, results in a thicker mix more like "normal" hand sanitizer gel, but is a pita to mix thoroughly

    Mwhahaha a good turn of phrase there, because the only mod that ive ever been fanatical about is the Smok TreeBox Mini, the only mod Smok got right. Ive had like 6 or 7 of them depending on who you ask...and the only mod i kept one of just in case when i gave up vaping aways back...i still call the TreeBox the best TC mod ive ever used


    I tried the H-Priv and others but they were all horrible instant fire & ridiculous (to me) preheating horror boxes - i actually downgraded the firmware in mine to the lowest ver to try and get the worst possible preheat profile and response times etc, nup still horrible, sold it 3 days after it arrived. p.s. i turn off preheat on DNA mods too, i dont get the point

    Nup, TreeBox was the one thing they got right for me at least

    Worst mod i ever used: Smok m80 a friend gave me to try (and fix) years ago, the weak battery error was diabolical and solved (somewhat) by filing the finish off the battery door....terrible bloody thing.

    I'm a fan of the smok mag 225w, got three of them and a dozen or so boxes of coils, actually more. I like the vape that the Prince v12 tank gives me and the unit is rather low maintenance. My only concern is the time my first one went dead with a RBA coil. I was able to revive it and I haven't tried the RBA since. I'm saving that for when I'm totally out of regular coils.

    Simple paper masks can be had at any auto parts store that sells paint.

    I saw some at Dollar General today. However these masks are useless against disease spread. You need a N90 mask and those are harder to get and to properly use.

    Don't let her find your secret stash! :)

    I think my wife spends more at Hobby Lobby than I spend on ecig supplies and hardware over time.

    I have other hobbies, photography, knitting and crochet... by far the worst is machine embroidery. It’s an endless rabbit hole. Anything fabric related, the supplies list never ends. At least vape stuff is small.

    the soap doesn't matter.
    it's the mechanical action of washing hands that
    throws the virus down the drain.
    Wrong. I and my classmates did a side by side comparison of just that premise in microbiology class. The soaped hands came out with less microbes.

    Vaping since 8/9/2012
    I was updating my vape inventory just now and did a little math about my coils. I have enough drop-in coils if I changed them every two weeks to last me 51 years. I have enough premade coils if I changed them every month to last me 49 years. :blink: Yeah I'm covered. I'm chucking them when they get dirty.

    I have enough toilet paper and food and face masks for two people to last about a month. And with coronavirus ........ maybe less. :unsure:

    And I'm not ashamed of the coils or the tp. :lol: I take my stocking up seriously. :laugh:
