Just found out that in Indiana, we can order online, except for pre-made juice. So I'm about to start ordering materials for both coil rebuilds and DIY juice. So if anyone has any suggestions on favorite sites, I'd be grateful. :)
I have confidence in myfreedomsmokes and rts. There are others worthy of trust. You should plan how you'll store your nic and order the materials for that at the same time. There's no one right way. Here's what I did. A liter bottle of nic arrives with a liter amber glass bottle. I transfer the contents by direct pouring, label the bottle with date and contents (move the orignal label if possible), put that in a ziip lock bag, wrap with thin bubble wrap, put that in another zip lock bag and tape it to shape. When the bottle is opened for use the contents are diviided into 4 250 ml amber glass bottles and put in zip lock bags. An alternative is to use clear glass bottles and wrap them in tin foil then zip lock etc. That way you can inspect them for color change as the years go by.

I vape 5 lm per day with 10 mg nic so 50 mg nic per day x 365 days = 18,250 mg per year. 100,000 mg nic in a 1 liter bottle / 18250 mg nic should last me about 5 years. I'm counting on 10 years, hoping for 20 so the stockpile is 2.5 liters each from two different suppliers.

Done stocking up on gear for now (again) until hopefully July, but I got 14 new flavors from Real Flavors this week and am working on another order for 26 more flavors. That will put me up to 67 of their flavors... I may have a mixing addiction.

Since I've really only owned provari's, to keep my battery cap threads on my Pico in good working order, should I lube it like I would on my provari? I think I answered my own question (yes) . Has anyone else done this?
I haven't but others have. I have been changing batteries daily on 2 for my roomie (so each gets changed every other day) and never had an issue with cross-threading.

Received the $2 clone KF 3.1s. Machining isn't great, the threads are a bit rough, but it works. Kind of a bear to build, my leads kept popping out from under the screws. Wrapped them basically entirely around the screws, don't know if that's what I was supposed to do but it seems to be working. What a giant difference from the subohm tanks I've had, which was basically all the b&m I started with had. Built at about 1.2 and rocking oh, a whopping 13w and so far I really like it. The hubby seems to be having an easier time with it too, which is huge. Hate the proprietary drip tip though, but easy enough to throw a 510 in there with the converter. Really anticipating the KFM v3 and the KF v5 mini clone. I think duel coil, higher wattage tanks will be taking a backseat for me now. If I can still be just as satisfied consuming less liquid that's going to stretch out my hoarded nicotine and I see that as a very, very good thing. On an aesthetic note, they should have just left the SM logo off, it's just looks so terrible ;)

    BullCityFlavors is my favorite site for DIY flavors.

    I did it, and was pleasantly surprised at how much better the battery cap worked afterwards.

    I bought several of those Kayfuns. Cheaper than buying parts and bases. Will probably never need them with my stash but $23 shipped for 10, yeah I getting them.

    I bought 5 and they came in last night. All look good and have all the parts in the box. Finish is great on the polished steel. More for my FDA crash stash!

    Did you use something like "anti-seize"? I have an old tube of that. My first Pico screws/unscrews easily. The next one I used isnt as smooth removing the battery cap.
    A little dab'll do ya

    I used the tube of NoOxID I got from Provape. I was greasing my Provari, and for giggles just grabbed my Pico since my fingers were a little greasy and it was just sitting there looking stupid. ;) It really made a difference in how the cap screwed on so rough before and made it nice after.

    @VapeLuvr do your threads on your battery cap on the Pico seem rough?

    On one of them, yes. I'm tempted to use some of this on it. Although I'm not sure it's ok? Can someone please advise?
