I am starting to lower my Nic levels now to make my stash last longer, was at 6 so going down to around 4-5 now. I don't really notice the difference and rather than buy more Nic figured easier to just lower it. I have enough for 20 yrs now :)

I vape at 10mg, and the wife at 6mg. I have no idea how much per day. I use to figure about a month and a half on 120ml's of 60mg nic. When I get into the 100mg nic that will extend the time on a 120ml bottle, but, I've just started making juice for the DIL, so I dunno, maybe 1 month on a 120ml bottle. That's only about 29 months if my ole brain did the math right. Yeah, maybe ought to get another 1000ml's.

I'm wondering something about those desiccant packs. I live in central FL and have my AC on about 7 months of the year when it's really hot. Other than that it's cool enough not to need it on when I use the whole house fan that brings cool air in through the windows.

I've never had a problem with moisture in the house anywhere, even in the bathroom showers, etc. where some have problems with mildew, etc. ALL my new mods, tanks, RBAs, RDAs, etc. are being stored in their original sealed boxes, (that have sealed plastic outerwrap, too) and then in taped shut packaging boxes in the coolest interior room in my house with no windows to let sunshine in the room.

Do I still need to use those packs? If I did, wouldn't I have to open the sealed boxes each of the mods, tanks, etc. came in...and that kind of defeats the purpose then?

Advice anyone?

I'm 73 now, so won't need 20 years worth, maybe figure 5 or so years. Who knows. :)

I would for FL and put everything in a plastic container with dry packs in it.

OK, so I took your 10mg and her 6mg and used 8mg as the average.
I "assumed" you each vape 5ml per day. (is that high or low??)

One 500ml bottle of 100mg would last the two of you about 1.7 years.

Your 3480ml stash would last you about 12 years if it was all 100mg. In reality, it will last less than 12 years but I cant figurre it exactly as I dont know how much of that stash is only 60mg.

Well I'll be 85 in 20 yrs so not sure how good I'll be at building coils then

There's a solution for that! Just start wrapping about 2-3 extra coils now per month...while you still can. By the time you can't make then anymore, you'll have enough in your stash to last you a long time more!

Good idea :) I may need to hire someone to put the coils on the deck LOL I also have a bunch of Cartos left from the past and was thinking maybe I'll save them for my golden years since they are easy :) I really want to be able to vape as time goes on :)

If you live in high humidity area it isnt a bad idea to keep the stuff dry. I wouldnt open any packages. I would just put all the sealed boxes in a big Rubbermaid Tote and toss a couple of cheap clay desiccant packs in the tote. Toss in one small pack of indicator silica to let you know when to change the clay out. Odds are the packs will last years before needing to be swapped out. If you truly do keep the humidity low in your house, you may never need to change them out.

Wrapping the coil is easy. Getting the leads under those little tiny screws is not.

I have 480ml of 60mg left.
LOL! Maybe I won't need the 1000ml's I just finished ordering from RTS while they still have the 15% off going. Panic buy. :)

There you go...cartos! Perfect solution. :thumbs:

I've got some cartos & tanks, as well as a bunch of the JoyeTech Mega cone-shaped dripping attys, and some of their tank attys and tanks stashed. Only paid 50 cents a piece for them recently! If push comes to shove, I'll use those, too.

We sound alike! Nothing's gonna stop us from being able to vape in our old age! :D

Maybe everyone should have Deeming Parties on 8-8. That way we could meet all our vaping neighbors and exchange contact information. Then someday, when we can't see well enough to attach our coils, we'll have younger neighbors who can help us out. We could also swap vape supplies and such as needed.
