Are you done stocking up?

[Fidola13]

I’ve been done for a longtime but keep buying either RDAs or stabwood mods lol!!

the only thing I really should get is tha mini freezer to hold 8 or 9 liters of nic broken down into 250ml bottles.

I’m still not sure what size would be appropriate. I won’t be storing any food just nicotine bottles wrapped in bubble wrap. 3l or 5l. The 5 look huge. Must be top lid. Figure maybe Walmart(if any are open) for Memorial Day sales might be a good time.

The 3.5 cubic foot we picked up from best buy seems to be running well, keeping things nice and cold.

Add a couple of gallon water bottles that are about 80 - 90% full before freezing (remove a pint, or slightly more, from each full gallon). Removing water is because ice takes more room than water. A fairly full chest freezer runs more efficiently, and the ice will keep things cold for a longer time if you temporarily lose power.

There was a run on freezers when the pandemic took off and I couldn’t find one at a good price anywhere. I haven’t looked for one in a few weeks so if you find one at a good price please post about it.

There may be another run on them now with meat shortages being forecast.

What is the chemical name for "real" vit c? I assumed it was ascorbic acid.

(5R)-[(1S)-1,2-Dihydroxyethyl]-3,4-dihydroxyfuran-2(5H)-one

Come 5:30 pm tonight, it'll be 1 full week that I decreased my nic level from 16mg to 7mg. Just an experiment to see how I would do with such a sudden reduction.

So far, so good. I've yet to crave a higher nic level (but I'm not ruling it out just yet). I'm not even vaping more than normal - still vaping my usual 7-10 ml/day.

If I can successfully make 7mg my new nic level and keep my consumption the same, I more than doubled my nic stash without spending more money.


My next step is to try some unflavored and eventually get myself away from flavored liquid. But that's a ways off.

 

[DaveP]

Because, in their eyes, nic is BAD.

Technically, so is the coffee they consume in quantities at nurses' stations!

Which Zenith coil is rebuildable? I'd love to buy some.

Most factory coils employ a 2 or 3 piece construction with a rubber/neoprene sleeve to insulate positive and negative coil leads. You pull the bottom section out of the rubber insulator and you will see one coil leg dangling. The other is captured by the top section. Once you take one apart, you'll see how it's made. In the center of the coil head you'll find the cotton and the coil. I did it once or twice with a Kanger coil head many years ago and that's what convinced me to buy rebuildables.

It's a lot easier to pick a rebuildable atomizer that you like and rebuild the easy way with an atty that's designed for rebuilding. With an atomizer that uses factory coil heads you have to disassemble the head and reassemble it as you insert the cotton into the coil and put one coil leg at a time in between the sections of the atomizer.

For this family I would say God. Beans and Rice, Beans and corn. Etc. The Hubby wont touch tofu. He is also rather a carnivore so I have to sneak in the occasional veggie based meal.

I greatly fear this is a sign of what is yet to come in many places in the US. Especially with this crises and governors taking powers they don't usually resort to.

Yup, cows are concentrated veggies

Yep, started "building" with those as well. And provided the same stimulus! A big RTA deck is SO much easier!!

Carp...

Yeah, more reason to stock up on nic and start to DIY. (If you haven't, yet!)

Welp, that's why we stock up. I fear state laws, state taxation & federal taxation more than the FDA at this point.

Correction: I don't fear any of it. I'm all stocked up
What I really meant was that if I wasn't stocked up, the last thing on my mind would be the FDA.

As far as I'm concerned, they can all go to he|| at this point.

I thought I read here on the forum in in one of the Zenith threads that the Zenith coils are a bit different in that the positive leg is anchored at the bottom of the coil housing but the negative leg is anchored at the top of the coil housing.

Regardless, like you said, you have to take one apart to get an idea if you can or want to bother with rebuilding it.

You are probably right. The last factory coil I recoiled was from a Kanger Protank many years ago. Since my first Kayfun I haven't bought any factory coils. I did run across a pack or two in my vape closet a while back and thought about juicing one up for the nostalgic feeling.
