Are you done stocking up?

[Down-Time]

Had to skip 9 pages. Went to my roomates wedding last night and spent the entire morning recovering. I probably missed some sales, and that's ok because I'm out of money.

If you don't recall posts about styrofoam heads it's a must read! I'm still LMAO at that.

So with all the stocking up everyone did what's your favorite purchase?

I love the brass Nemisis clone I got and am anxiously awaiting the BMI rda.

Mine was a used Titanium P3 and Titanium Kabuki and of course all MHM drip tips! LOL

I ended up going with glass beakers in graduated sizes from 5ml all the way up to 1000ml (about $20 for all 8 of them) and did away with syringes altogether. I use a smaller one to measure out each individual ingredient and pour it into a larger one. The beakers have pouring spouts on them so the transfer to the final bottle is easy peasy and clean up is minimal.

Micro Glass Borosilicate Graduated Beakers 5ml, 10ml and 25ml: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

SEOH 5 Pack Glass Borosilicate Graduated Beakers 50 100 250 600 and 1000ml: Amazon.com: Industrial & Scientific

I was planning to get some beakers and a hand mixer eventually but right now I just squeeze/drop all the ingredients to the final bottle size for the batch I am making, 15 or 30 ml for new recipes and 120ml bottles for bigger batches of things I like. The first time I did DIY I didn't have a tenths scale so I used syringes... still haven't washed those things lol. DIY with a tenths scale is silly easy. The only thing I had to wash from the last recipes was a funnel and one pipette, and I have so many of those I could/should just toss them.

I have 4 scales! Three only go to a tenth (soap making) and my expensive lab scale is brand new and buried under my husband's hunting gear. It's huge! I don't care, that sucker is getting dug out.

It's the only way to go. I bought a little battery powered one from amazon for under $15, then realized it needed a 500g weight for calibration. It has a 3 minute auto shut off which hasn't been an issue yet but I will probably still get one of the lb-501 with an ac adapter later so I can be sure I have more than one scale.

I just mix my PG/VG nic base and keep it around premixed. I put what I want in a bottle, usually 30ml or 50 ml, add my drops shake and vape LOL Easy. A few flavors I need a pipette, but I keep it really simple I don't like using alot of equipment or anything, usually takes a few minutes to mix up a bottle of whatever. I keep my most used flavors in a plastic container in easy reach so I don't have to rummage thru a bunch of flavors.

That's a good tip. I'm still in the discovery phase and trying to find recipes that I "really" like and then I'll concentrate on simplifying my process. I switched to 60 pg/40 vg today to see if I like it. Still playing!

Luckily I caught all of these before I left last night lol.

When the deeming news hit, I'd been happily tootle puffing away since 2013 on three Provis w/z-atty-pros. I love those setups, in spite of having to reglue the center posts every few months.

I'm now loving my new PV Radii topped with old style Kayfun v4 with bell caps, and v2 Goblin mini. I bought a battalion of various gennies that are still in rotation, but these sub-ohm, cotton wicked wonders are what I'm grabbing. Who knew??

My husband started off with the Triton and is still using it. I occasionally use one too. I'm not keen on having to buy their coils (maybe somebody has some options for me).

He's not very careful with things, always losing stuff. I've stocked up on the Triton and coils for him.

I just bought 3 packs of full size triton coils for my wife for $33 from Fasttech. $11 per 5 coil pack and authentic. But at just over $2/coil, it isn't bad as my wife can get about a week out of one.

I have the Triton RBAs also and they are pretty crappy compared to Kanger and Crown. Not sure if they are a good long term solution...

By far my authentic GP PAPS X SS Lux mechanical mod. Just an amazing device with the best firing button I have ever tried - total quality all around. Also incredible customer service and they ship from Bulgaria super quick (I had my order in 3-4 days). Not cheap though.

Pleasant suprise? SS Fasttech Nemesis clone. For under $9, it is a great mod.

 

[bnrkwest]

Well one good thing about the stock up rush being over, I am able to get a lot of things done! LOL Boy was I behind on paperwork!

It seems like they are everywhere until you actually have a reason to reuse them, then they are no where to be found.

I've done a great job on a very restrictive budget. I have supplies, in many areas that would see me out a decade, but there are a lot of holes I still need to plug for DIY.

Still "want" (some possibly effected by Deeming, most not):
* $500 in favorite premade juices.
* Mech Mods
- 1 - Hex Ohm VV (Digikey sells the exact same DC/DC converter used in the Hexohm mods.) (BOUGHT: 0)
- 2 - BC Boxes (18650 serial/parallel switch box) (BOUGHT: 0)
* Cylindrical Mods
- ProVari Provape - ECF @LoriP1702 "SEE 2.5 mini, with extension cap. AND, you can get the extension ring, and run 18650's. ProVari 3 Extension Ring (using the extension cap and the extension ring) or, 18350 in mini mode. I also really like the V2.5, with extension cap, that allows you to run 18650's as well. Both mods can be found in the "specials" section for AWESOME pricing."
- GUS Mod (BOUGHT: 0)
- HCigar Nemisis Clone (BOUGHT: 0)
- Wismec Vicino (Can fire a coil down to 0.15 ohms. Suggested 0.2 ohms. Has board that cuts off when voltage gets too low.)
- Limitless
* One more gallon of Nude Nicotine Armor

Nude Armor Nicotine Base - EXTENDED SHELF LIFE
Solvent: 100% VG
Aliquot Size: x4 125mL Glass Bottles
Strength: 100mg/mL
QTY: 8 (32 bottles total - 125ml bottles)

* Graduated cylinder b/c I'm .... and want to measure my own pg/vg/nic for when I use my scale
* Many more flavors, after I pick out 10 fav recipes. Get going on DIY ASAP. See what flavors you really like and order accordingly to last 2 years at least, 15 to 30 flavors. Keep an eye on the market, and your use, and continue to restock as you go. Look over the e-liquid recipie docs that I have, pick the top 5 recipies out, order the goods, and get cracking.
* 8 more - RX200S
- Varitube(x3+ No. of mods you have)/Fatdaddy(x2+ No. of mods you have) - 510 connectors for all mods that you have (Sigelei / Wismec / Scotts Mods)
* 8 more - Twisted Messes RDA Squared
* 8 more - Replacement Parts for TMSquared RDA (TM²)
* 8 more - Replacement Screws for TMSquared RDA (TM²)
* 8 more - Twisted Messes RDA Squared BASES
* 2+ more - Kayfun 5
* 50 - premade coils (staple, staggered stapled, fused and alien claptons, etc.) unless you plan to start making them today
* Liters each of PG(4+), VG(8+) all from NUDE NICOTINE. WHY? B/c all lof your NIC is 100VG except for the NIC, from NN, so the calculations will be easier and more accurate. They are probably using the same VG/PG for their base.
* Bottles for mixing. See the bottles/glassware section and order all that you need for DIY. Liter bottles for freezing PG/VG. 30ml/60ml for completed DIY. 500ml for mixing up batches
* Label maker
* Wire: More wire. Variable speed, reversible drill for making twisted and clapton wire. 20 spool tamers.

You know, I don't remember mentioning this, but maybe you already know this...you cannot sub ohm with the ProVari 2.5 Mini, or the V2.5.
The recommended lowest ohm is 1.5 for those, and at some point, it will shut off and won't run if it's too low.

My favorite purchase was the Reo LP/Grand with the RM2 atty.
Had I gotten, and tried it before other things I'd purchased, my stash would look a lot different.
It would be Reo heavy with more BF attys. As such, I've ended up with 2 LP/Grands, and with the extra parts, I'm confident my gear will outlast me.

Yep, I understand. It seems like everyone is raving about the build quality and I feel left out...

Gonna get me some...
