Thanks for that, I have some that are a year past date and they are fine, I expect they will stay usable for well past the use by date. I think on our cupboards and things like vanilla, lemon, orange etc, that we use for baking. Who even checks the dates on those when they bake their holiday goodies?

They just get weaker over time. I use orange extract when I make pizzelles, and after several years, I can tell the difference between an older bottle and a new bottle. Most of the pungent orange smell is gone after a few years.

Yup, have two REOs, a Grand and a Mini. I'm a flavor switcher. I don't really like to vape a whole bottle/tank of the same flavor.
Have you tried filling the bottle with unflavored and dripping in flavored from the top when you need/want it?

Ha! I thought I was done. I've got 3 authentic Kayfun minis, 1 pack of replacement parts, and 1 steel tank. I only use 1 at a time so I thought if one wore out/broke I'd just use one of the other ones(keeping the broken one for parts). But then I wondered what if I broke all 3 glass tanks, was down to only the steel one and managed to lose the setup?:eek: So, I chickened out and went shopping. :lol:
Yep know that feeling, I added a few more Provari 2.5's to my stash just in case and if anyone gets in a pinch I could sell a few :)

I know I am going to regret asking for a virtual slap if I order something else... Wanting to order some squape and kayfun clones for my hosue mate for the day she runs out of coils or breaks all her tanks/bases from dropping them.

I should have 3 or 4 packages arriving today as well as the chest freezer.
Better set and secure than worry about what if I had only bought that one more thing.............

    once I look at what the vendor wants for shipping that single or "maybe" 2 or 3 small items it's easy for me to resist buying. When the shipping wipes out the great price, kind of silly to still buy the item I can live without :)
    This ^^^^ works pretty good on me too ;)

    I'm fairly stocked but certainly won't say I'm done shopping ;)

    Looking over my purchases and I can't find anything I bought that I regret. Even old gear like carto tanks, etc, so glad I have them as back up for back ups :) Happy stocker here :)

    Me too. Everything I have on hand I can happily use in some configuration or another.

    Looking at my shipping notices I have a few things arriving after 8-8-16, so we shall see how that goes, I am thinking most likey ok, but they have to go thru customs. They are all very small packages so may just go thru no problemo.

    Yes, I just hate getting the notices from mint.com app that I am using XX% of my available credit.... so trying to hold off as much as I can. One CC cycle restarts in a day or two, the other one doesn't restart until after the deem date unfortunately. At least the one that resets this week is the one with the bigger credit line. :D

    I've got two overseas packages coming in. One I ordered today from England so it should make it in plenty of time. However I've got an order coming in for some replacement coils that may or may not make it in time. Customs did stop a small package I had coming in from a vendor in Greece by regular mail a few years back. It was just springs and a small steel tube. They did finally release it but it held shipment up for several days. Several weeks later I got a bill from them for I *think* around $40 for their "service" of opening up my package, inspecting it, and deciding it was ok to release to me.:grr:

    Yeah, but, if you bought just one Reos, it'll outlast probably anything else you have. I have 4 Reos, and as much as I like my Provaris, and their dependability, the Reos will be going long after a Provari dies. IMHO.
    But I hear ya on the no cc bills. That's always nice. :)

    Freezer in place, rest of the nic and a gal ea of pg/vg should be hear later today then I get to figure out how to best package up the nic for secure storage in that chest freezer given the couple different size bottles of nic I bought. Trying to decide if I should maybe get another 500ml or 1L to be sure I have more than I would ever need....

    edit: Just checked my NN order and I bought more than I remembered so don't think I will be ordering any more nic.

    Does/should vg/pg be put in the freezer also?

    I have a very tiny vaping budget. It would take me a couple months to save enough to buy a Reo. o_O
