Are you done stocking up?

4l for my wife and I. We are in our mid 40's and at 5-6mg and 5ml each a day, we are set for a long time.

I know of a few people sitting on 20+ litres of 100mg NIC. Crazy unless you chain vape 24mg or mix for 3-4 other people.

Have 4500ml of Nude Nicotine Armor v1/v2 at my mom's house and 3500 ml of Nude Nicotine Armor v1/v2 at my house. All are being stored in freezers. I plan on buying until I have at least 4 gallons of 100mg/ml.

I'll keep ordering until supplies are cut off, and sell off old stock for 10% to 20% less.

I'll order all new stock in 125ml and 250ml bottles so that I do not break open (500ml and 1000ml) nic not planned for immediate use.

just had a thought... loading up the livestock when the weather gets really cold... at least they wont freeze ;)
Ethelene Glycol antifreeze killed a LOT of dogs after licking spills. So they switched ethelene Glycol for Propylene Glycol. A dog can metabolize Propylene Glycol safely but ethelene Glycol is fatal.

Okay, forget the Quattro lids. They are made of aluminum and I saw all manner of complaints that they rust and mold. Another statement I found from Jarden Home Brands: The [newer] lids are a tin-plated steel with a BPA-free modified vinyl, and the varnish is a modified epoxy. I'm too tired right now to look into that but will later. I'd like to use my jars to store my PG and VG as I don't like leaving them in plastic. I just have to assure myself that these lids will not off-gas like the BPA lids can.

Best of all might be vintage lids with rubber seals, but I think for the wide mouthed jars, they might be difficult to find.
Aluminium doesnt rust it oxydizes. There is a difference.

It looks like I only have 3 outstanding orders: FT order is on a boat, 3 of those hana modz one mods and my bull city flavors show up tomorrow. Already got some more flavors in a cart at onestop (thx to this thread).

Made my first single flavor (NN BRY4 (blend of berries with RY4)) DIY juice today and it wasn't too bad shaked n vaped. All but one bottle of nic is in the new freezer and the bottle that had leaked (cross threaded cap, probably only lost a ml or 2, cap was able to be rethreaded) will be put in the freezer tomorrow or the next day after I make a few more 100ml batches of DIY recipes for me and my housemate. Can't believe I never got on to the forums and started DIY (or stocking up) sooner.

Thx again for all your help and spending of my credit line.
You can apply this experience to quite a few things in life if you have the time to research and alittle work. Everything from homemade lotion, soaps, sourkraut, kombutcha or really anything I used to buy I now google how to make first. Imageine if we would have been applying our own homemade sunscreen, lotion and bug repellant all these years how much healthier our skin would be. Read a lable on lotion or sunscreen and its quite rediculous what they put in their when all you need is bees wax shea butter and coconut oil and almond oil or any combination of various oils but not petroleum.

In reference to Stocking up or re-supply of Vape good for me there is a method to it called Acquisitions; stock levels, and re-order points. So I'm not wasting money nor an I running out in a panic.
Here is the method FYI

Figure out how fast you go through it; then you can figure out how many days your supply will last✌️
Next how long does it take your source to get more to you.
BOOM! You have what you call a re-order point
Also you can calculate how long your supplies will last you; so you know how much stock is required to last a given period of time.
It works for the Military and most major corporations why not at home for you and me.

Also it might not hurt to arrange your e Liquids in a systematic method since they do have a Shelf Life (even though lengthy)
FIFO- First in; first out. So the Oldest on your shelf gets used first
I just figured I would throw that out there.

All sounds good except not knowing for certain what is going to happen to your source.
True but we all have a plan for a certain period of time and that is what you base your plan on. If were correct or not on that time frame has yet to be realized;)

Was thinking the same. The restocking doesn't apply to this topic since we're looking at the end of the source.
You don't know if it is the end or a change in sourcing; none of us know as yet.:) And this thread is about stocking up for a unknown period of time. I chose to at least pick a period of time and set myself up for that. It is virtually impossible to set yourself up for ever:lol: Plus you don't even know if forever is real....Yet

I agree. I do have lots of nic in my freezer (which became an even better stash after discovering I'm fine on 12 mg), a bunch of mods including mechs, and a bunch of rebuildbale tanks with doubles of my faves. I have plenty of wire, cotton, and bit and pieces, even though they won't disappear. But for now, I'm done.

I believe hardware will remain available from the surviving larger online stores for some time. I have a nice supply supply of premixed juice from my fave vendors (~1 liter) so I'm set for a good while there. Maybe I'll pick up some more nic down the road if things look like they're going south, but I really do not believe it will become unavailable on 8/9. That's about the best I can do.

Well I bought a cube too, the price was so good I would have spent that easy on a gallon of each, so went for it! I guess I am in turbo prep mode. Plus hubby was just saying don't we have more glycerin somewhere ?? :) Now I can say sure, 2 gallons! LOL

Ask and ye shall receive, eh? :)

Basically we are stocking for as long as possible and I don't know how long some of my stock will last but we can figure liguid use and that seems to be the easiest, it is the equipment that is a bit iffy. I have tried to cover all my bases with variety of long lasting products for mods and then tanks and drippers, plus parts. We are sailing into unknown and uncharted waters, but we are trying to take as much as possible to survive the journey. My thought too is throw nothing out even if it stops working, as it becomes a potential part for the future. Save everything.

If you want to continue saving money and knowing what is in your liquid and diying, then stock up for life. It wont be available much longer and who knows what big tobacco will do to e liquid, remember what they have added to ciggies. I cant believe we have had access to this so far, but not for long, seriously think about it.
