Are you done stocking up?

Just curious. Since you haven't tried all these out yet, have you gotten advice on which to get taking into account your personal style of vaping?

The reason I wonder is that most things that are recommended don't suit my style of vaping. So, I can't just buy what's recommended/most popular. Most of it would be a total waste for me and my style of vaping.

I'm a MTL vaper and very low wattage, like never over 10 watts. Everything popular right now is for DL vaping.
I am strictly MTL, high ohm, low watts. As pretty and sparkly as all the new stuff looks, I find I must keep returning to older generation gear to meet what I feel are my needs. Still, it's hard not to get shiny-itis! I may let myself fall prey to it once I feel secure I have all the basics adequately covered.

Sadly I don't have to time to just buy one here and there and try it before deem date. I had nothing to rebuild so everything was a stab in the dark, but I bought things that had good reviews. I just had to stock up and then see what I like best. I was still using cartos and clearos so this is all so new to me!
Ditto. Just not time to try it all first. I will have to make whatever I get work for me.

I'm looking for a tank that is going to last and last. Easy to buy all replacement parts. I'm not a MTL hitter. I have a kayfun light plus and at the time of use, it was the shiznit. Now, not so much. Anyone with any suggestions?

The bellus is one of the most robust tanks i own. The way its set up there's not much that could strip. There's replacement glass but orings you have to buy individually. Also if you prefer single coil the tube rta is rock solid.

I'm building a cart at FT, but not ready to pull the trigger on my first order. Does anyone know if you get hit with international fees from either paypal or the cc when you buy from them? I keep hoping they might have a sale, but I have a feeling that isn't looking too good.

After reading the thread about the venting batteries, I decided to get some wraps to add to the stash in case I damage a wrapper. Ilumn Supply has a small site, battwrap.com that just sells the pre-cut wrappers, at a reduced shipping price, so I went ahead and got some of those ordered.

The cats ordered a gold Provari and some springs from Provape. Does anyone know what the plastic credit card thing they send is for? I wish it was spendable, but I have a feeling they want real money for actual purchases. The cats were pretty sure they could buy catnip with it unless nip has been deemed as well.

The Oops Man should be bringing some plastic storage boxes from Staples tomorrow. I guess those ink rewards were good for something useful. I've got so many little boxes of stuff scattered around that I'm starting to loose track of what I have and might need.
You won't get any kinda international tax or import fee if you buy from ft. There is a import fee if the items your importing have a price above $800. Even if you are buying $800+ of gear split it into different orders and you'll have np.

I was more concerned with currency or international transaction fees. One of my cards hit me with a fee when I thought I was buying from a US vendor, but apparently the transaction went through a foreign bank account. I think I've gotten around it with paypal, but wasn't sure if that was still the case.

Ya i'd be mad if i got a charge like that. I've bought from ft 8 times in the last yr using pp never had any hidden fees.

I have nothing enroute today. This feels very weird. Guess I'll just resort my Kayfuns or something. At least everything I need for vaping in the future is here.
I have a bunch of $5 Ehpro Kayfun Lite Plus tanks on the Health Cabin slow boat from China and once I get those, I think I am done completely. I GUESS I could order a bunch of o-rings or something, but I really don't think I need anything else.

Some PG/VG in 6 months or so and I do need to refresh a few TFA/Capella flavours. Not worried about getting these in any way.

Feels really weird, but I honestly think I am done buying NIC, tanks, mods, glass/o-rings/insulators, rayon/cotton, wire and other stuff I am forgetting (but stockpiled).

I got 6 of those from Health Cabin also. Haven't used them yet but the threading and components feel very nice. Bet you will enjoy them.

@skiball after seeing your mention of the Tube rta, I looked it up. Looks good to me, however after watching a couple reviews, it seems like it could be kinda a pib closing the air flow, twisting, and tightening everything. As this interests me, I'm wondering if it's really all that bad. How's it for leaking? Thanks.

Cool. Good news. Mine should be here soon as it has been a few weeks.

For $5 each I bought 5 and figured I could scavenge parts for my authentic KFL+ if they were junk. I have had very good luck with Ehpro though, so I'm sure they will be perfectly useable. Solid products as far as clones go IME.

Oh, not from them, I didn't either. I don't know if they have stickers.
I think mine was from Lighting Vapes.
I did get a 101 vape stuck it on my cigar box! Need some more that way I can make it look like old luggage. (Craft room deco )
