Are you done stocking up?

Apparently I'm not done stocking up. When it came time to start stashing, I had to decide between my 2 favorites...IPV 5 or sigelei Fuchai (the original with magnetic batt door). I like the IPV5 better but had settled on the V1 sigelei Fuchai because I was picking them up from VAPENW with two free batteries for a slightly lower price than the IPV 5. I have 1 of those in service and another unopened. Was planning to get 4, but now everyone is pushing the Fuchai 213 (with the flip battery door that I don't like, but I have one of them in stash too) and the original Fuchai is out of stock everywhere.

So now I've shifted to the IPV 5. I currently have one in service, another unopened, and 2 more on the way. Also felt 2 Griffin 25's in stash wasn't enough, so grabbed 2 more.

Ugh, when will this all end?? I've got a nagging suspicion that within a year we're going to see a flood of even better mods from the likes of Sony, Samsung, and LG, and I'll regret having stocked up on all this stuff.

Okay question for the group - while it isn't going to happen, at least not in its entirety- If tomorrow they backed off of everything taxes included and you were already stocked up - Would you feel any remorse? Would you sell and rebut or just go with what you have?

Ok two questions...
Absolutely not!

I see prepping as saving money.

1. Avoiding inflation
2. Avoiding INSANE levels of taxation.

I looked up VG and it was good for 14-22 months

If you store it in tge cold and dark you can Stretch it a year or two.

Stored in a cool (doesn't have to be cold), dry, dark place pg and vg will last much longer then what is advertised as its shelf life.

No regrets at all.I will use all i have bought and from October there will be a 40% vape tax to deal with.
Ditto!

If the FDA was to do a 180 tge only thing i would do is after a month or two pick up 2 or 3 more Pico mods.

Easy to answer that question. No regret at all. I'm retired now so we watch our money carefully. Stocking up now simply means I don't have to spend money in the future :) If this all turned out to be a bad dream, I'd still never spend more then $100 per year for the rest of my life (which I could easily afford) because I now have a complete stash I'm extremely happy with. :) New vaping toys in the future may be fun to have, but totally not needed for me.

When I started vaping we were waiting for the outcome of the first court case. While that first one ended with a win for vaping I've always known that the day would come when the FDA would deem our ecigs to be a tobacco product so I've been creating a stash for 6 years. In that 6 years I have collected stuff that I'd rather not use anymore even though its still usable and I'm sure some would consider that money wasted, but that's not how I look at it. I'd much rather have had it and not needed it, then to have needed it and not had it. ;) Who knows, someone else may be very happy it's in my stash when they need it :D

Nope. No regrets.

I don't see any advantage in my buying what is being released now over what I am using and have stocked up on.

Everything I bought will likely be used and I bought on sale.

No remorse at all, I would maybe sell off some 2.5's and get another Radius tho :) But I love what I have and glad I don't have to stock up again! LOL I'm set :)
That's a good point. I have too many P3, Classic and 2.5's, but due to the stupid low BLEM prices currently at ProVape on all 3 models, no point selling them for peanuts.

    At less than the cost of a premium juice, who could resist? I don't regret those cheap blems/sales and I miscounted, I have 17. :shock:

    Funny thing is I am loving the ego twists with evod tank. I paid less than 3 bucks for the setup and it works great.

    Should you wish to sell a provari down the road PM me. I could use a spare.

    Wow now that was a good deal. Even if they only last one year - that is only about $.25 per month for them. And I have heard of many lasting more than a year...

    i was talking to my insurance agent today. i asked him if he knew about the situation regarding vaping. he said many of his customers that he knows either went back to cigarettes, a few quit completely. i wonder of those full quits, how many of them will eventually relapse to smoking. i get disgusted when i hear this stuff because its engineered by the government to be this way, and people are just sheep. they listen to the media and believe what they hear. when i hear this stuff i know its been very purposefully done. all i have to say, is their blood will be on their hands (FDA). when no one really gets sick or dies from vaping, these people will be regarded as being what they are, some of the most evil people in history. right along stalin, hitler, and sadam. its depressing that these people will be smoking to an early grave.

    as for me, i have a brain. i will question when told something is bad or in this case "worse then cigarettes". i tend to dig deeper, i want to know what the truth is. too bad fewer and fewer people have much back-bone anymore. that died out when the greatest generation got too old to have any influence anymore. they either have died off or are too old to take a stand anymore. how many of those people died from smoking????

    unlikely, no more new products unless things change drastically. i for one am expecting supplies to dry up as more committed vapers hord a stash like we are all doing.

    are products still being produced right now?

    No remorse for me either. A lot of what I bought was at crazy, low clearance, or sale prices. Even the Nic was bought with coupon codes. Since it's all stuff I can personally use, and some friends probably also will...nothing will be a waste of money.

    Funny how this just came up, because I got finished placing a $140+ order from a website that's selling all their MVP 2.0 mods (regular ones, Shine Editions + Energy Editions), and their MVP 20W mods...plus a bunch of other types of Innokin stuff, a variety of mech. mods, JoyeTech 510 double starter kits, etc., etc....for just $9.99! Neighbor and I went together to place 1 order for stuff we each wanted. Helped us get free S/H!

    I know the Innokin MVP mods have internal batteries, and many wouldn't want them now. But when I've been using a well-used 1 (traded in at a local vape shop) for over a year and it's still going strong, and another new 1 has no problems either...I figured $9.99 for something that I know I'll get at least 2 years out of, was a no-brainer! Neighbor, who works at a vape shop thought so, too!

    They also had some DCT tanks, cartos, and some other "old-school" stuff, vape bands for $.49, 510 atties for $.99, etc.

    I think you are right, unfortunately. When I see the hero worship for celebrities, it amazes me. People follow and foam at the mouth because they are famous, doesn't matter what they do or whatever. If vaping was considered the cool thing by more celebs, the public would be crying out.

    As for blood on their hands, having worked for the gov for almost 20 years, not gonna happen. It is a big agency and the little peons don't have much to say about things and the higher ups don't care. They justify whatever they do as 'for the public good'. They are not likely to feel responsible. Such as it goes when there are so many people involved in an agency.

    You know the rules, you gotta post links to the great sale stuff. :D
