Is anyone interested in a Kizoku Unlimit? It can be run as either an rta or a Falcon-coil-compatible tank.
I won it in a contest, decided it doesn't fit with my vaping style, haven't opened it.
Available to anyone in the continental US.

Reminds me of the Innokin Ares.
Correction, I was looking at the Limit, not the Unlimit. Totally different tanks for different styles of vaping.
The Limit is what reminds me of the Ares RTAs in a lot of ways.

Not even. Closet some of the time, cardboard box in my room others. It is an opaque bottle. Everything else of mine is new and in the freezer and Dad has since transferred the last of his old nic into a freezer. But our current in use bottles have been room temp their whole life.
ya'll keep PG and VG in the plastic jugs they come in long term right? it's just nicotine that we try to preserve the strength of, by keeping it in amber jars right? I'm not trying to pour out 2 gallons of PG and VG into little glass bottles lol. I'm also thinking about buying a gallon of 3mg and just leaving it in the jug. I cut to 1.5mg anyway. It can stand to lose some potency 
I keep my gallons of PG and VG from Bulk Apothecary in their plastic jugs in the basement, replacing them about every two years. They've been fine for me.ya'll keep PG and VG in the plastic jugs they come in long term right? it's just nicotine that we try to preserve the strength of, by keeping it in amber jars right?

For nic I think the concern is whether plasticizers can leach into the liquid over the long term, with a bit more oxidation a factor too. I have no problem leaving nic concentrate sealed in original plastic containers for the first year or so but only in the freezer to minimize chemical activity. To minimize freezer space it might be worth having some higher mg nic in glass in the freezer while the PG and VG can be out and easily replenished down the road.
thanks. yeah I'm just going through my never-used store bought e-liquids and they've all darkened and in some cases, they've even reduced and thickened. I'll toss those, and I don't want that to happen to my PG or VG but, I think it's mainly the nicotine i'm worried about long term. I'll toss PG and VG if it shows signs of contamination or discoloration etc.
Keep in mind, Plumes, that PG and VG won't be going away any time soon, or taxed out of reach. So no need to stockpile those, just the nic.
Rather than a gallon at 3mg, consider how long a liter of 100 would last, while taking up a LOT less space...

I'm just trying to order bulk DIY supplies that'll be as quick to mix up as possible right now, i've already got 44 years worth of 100mg in the freezer. I'm just trying to order some 3mg and PG/VG to mix up real quick. I've never mixed with a base lower than 100mg and i feel like it'd be easier.
Heck, just take some of that 100 and cut it down, make a liter or so at 3 and just work from that.
While I vape considerably higher (roughly 18), I make up a liter of 20 mg at just a bit less than my usual PG %, and use that for mixing. Most flavors are in PG, so they bring the ratio a bit closer to what I want, and it brings the nic % down a tad. Close enough for me, but at 3 mg you might want to play around a bit with your usual % of flavorings to be more accurate, estimating how much more the flavors will dilute the nic.

I do not. But I'm probably the odd man out on this.
Me either. But glass bottles are available in larger sizes too. Heck, you can get them as big as a 5-gallon carboy (not that I'm suggesting this). Me, I use quart/liter sized glass bottles for my PG and VG.
Why? I simply don't trust plastic bottles for long-term storage of anything.
Exactly. But why would this be a concern for nic (which is 90% PG or VG) and not for pure PG or VG?
Good point. I suppose the obvious changes in nic based liquid versus the seemingly unchanged state of PG/VG over time. Not all that scientific. I do rely on those two substances being antimicrobial to some degree as well.
I bought a couple gallons of both PG and VG back in march because some places were increasing prices due to increased demand (pandemic). So I got a little trigger happy and bought a few gallons of each before prices increased or supplies started to run low. I just recently transferred both into mason jars, kept in fridge.
Why? Just to be safe. I don't trust plastic, like @Rossum
But lots of folks just store VG & PG in plastic (probably most). So it's you're call.

Well I keep telling Dad every time it's Christmas, his Birthday or Father's Day that this may be the last time I get him vape gifts but I keep being wrong. Been like this for years.
Anyways I'm on the hunt for the best price on Kanger OCC 0.5 ohm coils, the square ones. Found them on Lightfire for about $7.50 a box but I didn't know if anyone knew of a cheaper price. Thanks!

I haven't seen any on sale but will let you know if I do. I bought a whole bunch of the .5 clapton ones when they were on clearance. I don't know if I'll even end up using them. Too bad you don't want the round ones.
Well, I learned in science class from Ms. Frizzle to take chances and make mistakes so I guess I'll go with the easiest option.
