Are you done stocking up?

Yes, I too just wanted to use the 2 battery option instead of 3. The doors take a little getting used to on how to get them positioned and lined up, but both work great. Have not yet even tried using the 3 batt option. The red/black 2/3 I just ordered and that one is the only one coming from ecig. When I receive it I will let you know if it functions ok. All other products I have ever bought from them has always worked well, so I am hoping this does also.
:)

I do not yet have but like the 2/3! I have 2 - RX200S mods and plan on buying more of ea.

You should really learn to DIY. It is really much more cost effective and you know exactly what you are vaping because you make it yourself. It is not hard at all. Just a small learning curve. And plenty of members to help if you get stuck. Head on over to ecf's DIY thread and read.

Absolutely!

I can DIY great ejuice for $1- 1.38 a 10 ml bottle.

I can wrap a coil for about 2 cents of wire, and by removing the wick and Dry burning my coil (don't dry burn Nickel or Titanium) install another wick(only takes a minute or two) and i'm vaping again. Dry burning the gunk off my coils i only need to wrap a coil every 2 1/2-3 months.

Absolutely man. Wire is so dirt cheap. You save so much building your own coils and also you know exactly the quality of metals and wick your coil is using. I know those who don't have the time or struggle with those things can always buy coils, like my mom, whom I got to start vaping instead of smoking not too long ago.

Yoy forgot. You can build the resistance that best tskes advantage of the Juice you are building.

I try to build to .79-.84 ohms. My current Kayfun is built to .83 ohms.

To me .8 is what gives me the best flavor, and doesnt guzzle ejuice like .5 ohm and below.

I also prefer single coil attys.

Yes sir, .8Ω+ or higher for single coil MTL tanks is best for flavor IMO, I use a Russian 91%, it's a Kayfun but with adjustable airflow.

For open lung: I tend to shoot for .05Ω (tube mechs) to .5Ω (most regulated devices) depending on which device I'm using and what the juice is.

For series (which is hand down my adv atm): I build roughly at .4Ω to 1Ω, depends if I'm using Ni-chrome (anarchist wire) or Kanthol, series mods have ZERO ramp up even for kanthol, short quick hits for some quite amazing vapor production and flavor (from the many many wraps you'll need to do). More wraps, more surface area = better flavor & plumes.

And yup. I agree with you on that too. I love the freedom of making my own resistance, coils type, etc. when building. I like to fiddle and test different builds out when I get a new RDA or tank. ATM, my favorite wire is stainless steel alien claptons. They will last months when you clean, wick accordingly, and take care of it.

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
I have stockpiled for 5-7 years.

Others here ARE prepping for 30+ years.

Only prep items that tge deeming regulations will take off the market.

No need to prep

VG
PG
18650 batteries
Cotton or Rayon for wicking

Prep the following.
Get backups of backups of mods with replaceable batteries, RDAs or RTAs. Don't prep tanks that only use premade coils. When the FDA bans them from the market the coil heads will go bye bye too.
Prep nicotine base, flavors, and possibly resistance wire.

I have
8 18650 battery mods
3 Kayfuns
3 Silverplay Nano
1 Hurricane Jr.
5 mods I use that uses premade coil heads, and 50 spare coil heads. I may get more while i can.

i have as my lifetime / next 35 years stash:
2 Nebox
2 Topbox
2 Oni mech mods
4 Pico's

2 Griffin clones
2 Avocado clones
1 SXK Corolla
1 Mutation
1 Freak Show mini
1 squid

extra glass for everything x 4
a few parts my clones didn't come with.
a bunch of grub/reg screws & orings. random stuff like kicks, chips... way too many drip tips lol

I actually feel like i have way too much gear. I am planning to visit a long lost friend in a few weeks,, she vapes so I am going to bring every thing to see if she wants any of it.

if push came to shove,, I would take 1 Pico & Griffin and 1 Oni & Avocado.

    I guess I must be stocked up. None of the sales are even tempting me :D I looked at those $5.00 Kanger evod kits (2-650mAh batteries, a 5 pk of coils, 2 evods and a charger) and considered picking up a few of them in case I met someone that could use them but since I don't get out much I feel sure that isn't going to happen so I passed on them. I thought about getting some more Vanilla custard from Bull City but I already have 270mls of it. I can't think of a single thing I need and at this point nothing else I even want. It feels good to be well stocked but is a bit sad too :(
    Now you are tempting me. Where are 5.00 evod kits?:w00t:

    Nice list! I just got one RDA from some vape mail I got this weekend in the last 4 months, trying to figure out what I'm going to get next, but taking my time cuz I like to get authentics and don't want to make a purchase I'll regret getting. And all those you listed are great btw. I have those too; Griffin, Avocado, Mutation. Btw, everytime I see your photo, you remind me of that pic you posted of your legs and swimming pool. I'm swimming pool jelly -.- I gets hot down here in Texas :p

    lol, still in triple battery mode: just took a vape and set it down and noticed the screen flashing. took another and the battery indicator was switching between percent view and charging indicator, then it went to black screen with a large battery charging indicator, now back to normal view with with battery percents switching back and forth to a small battery charging icon... it is obv not plugged in

    now flashing from main screen to a screen saying to 'check usb adapter'. Guess I am sending this one and the 2 unopened ones back.

    And this was my reason for not wanting to go RX200s or RX2/3 that I never mentioned. They both came on market pretty near 8/8 and could likely have been rushed to get there. RX200 has been out quite a while and most of peoples stock was from the more normal days.

    Also getting Dad to order 3 batteries to marry in order to test out my 2 RX200 that I just shipped to him. Wasn't a hard push, he's been interested in them anyways and I told him he can test mine out for a couple months till I get back. He'll probably order one or two after having it a week.

    not sure, any suggestions for inexpensive dual battery mods with decent TC mode? I am leaning towards sigelei fuchai 213 but I have read mixed reviews about their TC chip.

    I sort of like my Vaporesso Tarot 200 TC but it's not that great at standing on it's own, the carbon look leaves it with a slippery grip and I got a bum Gemini tank from them and they won't reply to my request for a new base (or their web email doesn't work) so I don't know how I feel about the company over all. Not running out to grab another 2 batt mod though, overall I've decided singles are for out and about, RX200 is for the desk. Wish I went with the 213 instead, they had orange too. I really like orange, I'm weird.

    Darn!
    I did stock up to some degree and hesitated to do more. I guess I am too positive that it will turn out alright. What I have is good for at least 2 years both for hardware and juice and I kept on thinking it is a long time until then. I feel like it was yesterday I started subohm 2 years ago so it might as well be tomorrow when my stash is out.
    Back to shopping........

    I believe I have the most positive outlook on the court cases of anyone on this board. I also have 6L of nic which I estimate will last me about 30 years. And I've never even DIY jucie and I don't care to, so long as HHV will ship to me tax free I'll keep ordering Heavenly Tobacco.


    I know you were looking for a sale on nic...

    When i want direct lung i use one of these.

    $4.11 Free Shipping Replacement Base for Kayfun Monster V3 RTA Atomizer (Base (Kayfun Monster V3), Gold) at m.FastTech.com

    If you have a standard Kayfun remove the MTL Kayfun Lite Plus base and put this on the Kayfun. It fits perfectly. I also build the coil to .8 ohms here too.

    I think yoy will be surprised.

    It may fit the 91% too but not sure. Never had a 91%.

    I've had almost the same thoughts as you :) I saw a few things at really good prices for other people that I almost purchased, but I decided against all of them. I was tempted by very little since I just don't NEED anything and only wanted one thing only if I could find it at the right price, which I did find this weekend :), a Serpent mini RTA. One more piece of vape mail coming in a few weeks :D

    It feels good to be so well stocked up, but very strange at the same time.

    In, say, twenty years, when this prohibition ends, some of our items, particularly authentics, are going to be valuable collector's items. I aim to have one gus kiss. I can only get what I want the most, since money is so short.
    Look at the Core V.2's. I bought 2 in 18650 for $73US shipped each and added a Kiss 18650 tube for about $35US.

    Super cheap IMO unless you go 2.2 or the gold plated models...
