Are you done stocking up?

Well, I got my Kayfun Mini V3 clone from fast tech today. I whipped up a quick 30g 8 wrap on the 2.5mm coil master die, came out at 2.5 ohms (weird, since I'm used to sub-ohm builds). Got it all wicked up, and realized that all I had was max VG 3mg liquid floating around.

Sigh, off to the kitchen and put together a quick 30ml bottle of 10mg 60/40 strawberry banana juice that's good shake and vape. Juice up the wick and test it out on the Dragon at 4V and get vapors. Put everything together and take a few puffs and gurgle, gurgle, and leak all over the place.

Fast forward an hour or so and I take it apart and rewick it with the tails longer, and now it's vaping like a dream. Looks good and feels nice in the hand as well.

So does this making me a member of the Provanesti now?

The Flash sale still worked for me about an hour ago :)
Picked up the P3 Zenkote blem and a Mini satin with a P3 top. Woo Hoo!

I've stayed away from the colors for the most part and stuck with satin, polished and Gun metal except for one black P3. My two Radiuses are standard stainless with onyx black and midnight blue bodies. I thought about getting a cabernet red with bronze but I'm not sure if it's paint, Vapor deposition or other.

I'm a veteran of the rDNA days with their terrible finishes so I'm pretty cautious about painted metal.

Does anyone know what the bronze finish is?

Whatever clearo you happen to be stocking up on, how many clearos and how many spare coils are you stashing? I'm trying to decide what to buy to finish off my stash.

Assuming uninterrupted use of the clearo you prefer, it will depend on how long the coils last, whether they can be rebuilt (if you are willing to rebuild them) and how many years you plan to stock up for. For example, my wife goes through a new head about every three weeks, so about 18-20 heads will give her about a year. Five years, about 100 heads. As I can rebuild them at least two or three times, that's good for about 10-15 years.

As for the clearos themselves, it will depend on their durability. If you think you can get a year out of them, the math is easy. Polycarbonate will eventually wear out threads or crack and glass will eventually break, so the type of clearo is a factor. Extra tubes (if available) are a must have for the long term.

I had planned on stocking up on ProTank2 and compatible clearos. And, I have somewhat.

But, I happen to love the Vision Victory tank which never got very popular. I wasn't going to overly stock up on them until ProVape had the coils on special. Ten cents each! So, I got $25 worth! That's 250 spare coils!

But, I only have about half a dozen of the clearos. I need more. How many clearos would I need for 250 spare coils, considering the fact that I can rebuild those 250 coils?

440BB, I won't be using clearos exclusively. And, I have no idea how long they last because I've never used clearos of any kind very much. But, I just love the Vision Victory and would like to have something like that to fall back on for out and about in the years to come.

I got vape mail today...my Gold ZenKote 2.5 and the Metallic Harlequin Green 2.5, as well as a few extra springs, and some of that No-Ox for the threads. Both 2.5 came with extension caps for 18650's, too...for FREE! They even sent 2 free wraps and 2 little sample bottles. Yippee!!

I've got about 75 of the discontinued little Vision Nano clearos (disposable after about 7-10 days use), 85 of the Innokin 16B and 60 of the 16D clearos, as well as multiples of the PT2 & minis, PT3 & minis, and the Aerotanks & Minis. Have about 6 years worth of new boxed coils for them, not counting the coils that are already in each of the clearos & the ones that came with the tanks. A coil lasts me about 7-9 days in each clearo or tank. Once I learn coil rebuilding, guess those will go much farther, too. I'm also planning on possibly helping out a couple friends with some coils and clearos, too, if the need arises later.

Edit: Also loaded up on replacement glass for the PTs and Aerotanks, when they were $.25 and $.50 each at US vendors. Got some replacement bases for them when they were on clearance, too.

    I have the darker Emerald green myself, a perfect color to vape while watching my Michigan State Spartans!
    I have the blue/green fade which is for the Seahawks (even though I am not a huge football fan).
