Great!
The more reason for it showing here in US.

There is a rumor that the documentary might start showing here in US in October.

I have finished stocking up. I have three REO's with spare parts, one of which is remains in its original bubble wrap. I also have multiple RM2's with extra screws and enough nicotine for another generation, cold below zero. Everything else that I use has multiple other uses. It is time for me to stop stockpiling.
Before vape, I tried every cessation method known with the exception of acupuncture to stop smoking, now I am tobacco free (despite the definition of tobacco imposed by those small minded bureaucrats who are far brighter than I) for over three years and I'm not going back. Beware of those who seek to govern you.

Never used the Kbox, I'm sure it's like my Kbox mini which I only use to pulse new builds or read ohms. I could use it as a regular device but it's only a single 18650, I like longer battery life personally. But the Kbox's are great little cheap devices that stands the test of daily usage and work well all the time. Haven't had anything weird happen to me when using it yet, had it around a year, few dings and scratches but functions just as new still.

my wife has that same kbox mini in her collection. not too bad. the full sized Kbox goes up to 200W, is a fully functional device with two batteries not one 18650 like you describe. i can pick them up for $32. cheap cheap insurance.

If I may ask, where did you find your RM2 extra screws?
I keep stalking the site, and he's been out of them for awhile.

5000 feet is a crap-ton of wire and I agree hoarding it is pointless.

I DID stock up on wire when I had a 25% off coupon from Lightning Vapes and grabbed just over 1000ft. Doing the math, my 1300-1400ft stock of Kanthal, Nichrome, SS and Clapton wire should EASILY last my lifetime.... so for well under $100 total, I have all of the different wires I will ever use.

i dont know if i have said this before but what is going to happen is people will start building their own mods. many people will do this without really knowing much about what they are doing. right now we have mass produced gear that was specifically designed and engineered with safety in mind. you dont really hear about battery explosions much anymore because companies started making safer devices.

if all of this regulated gear with safety built into the product disappears it will be replaced with home-made unvented flash-light tube type devices. basically bombs. what we will end up with is really the "wild wild west". vaping at least now has some degree of safety built it. vaping will become the bath-tub gin of the 21st century.

of course when this does come to reality they will blame vaping itself and not the stupid, moronic laws that will be in place.

I have a different opinion on this.

I use mechs pretty much exclusively now and I have learnt enough to keep me safe. Rba's and nicotine is gonna be a problem but I really don't care about modding a flashlight.

I'll just make sure I don't go near the other fool who has a flashlight in the middle of the sunshine

 

[ad356]

what a billion lives needs is more exposure. unless you are in the vaping scene you dont even know it exists. however everyone knows about the junk science "reports" that have been ruining vaping for the last 5 years. just the other day i heard from two people...... dont you know that contains antifreeze. good grief how many times do i have to defend this position. PG is NOT antifreeze. ethylene gylcol is antifreeze. vaping products DO NOT and never had had ethylene glycol in the ingredients. that was just a smear campaign one that worked great against us.

i just ordered 3 kbox 200W mods. now i have 8 relux RX2/3, 3 kanger Kbox 200W, 1 armomazer RTA, 1 kbox nano, 1 limitless RTA, 1 billow V2 nano, and 16 L of 100 nic... this is all stuff in the hoarding collection and does not include the stuff we a are vaping with right now.

There will always be the small immature few who will push the limits, like anything in life; i.e. speed when driving. Of all the instances that I've seen in the news/media about battery explosions, it's always been with a mechanical tube mod, a hybrid connection, and persons using a tank on it (which most tanks don't have a "generous" 510 anyways, never a good idea to use with a hybrid to begin with). My automatic assumption is that they are inexperienced with those devices from the get go. I've never popped a coil or vented a battery to date or anything close, or used an atomizer with a short 510 on any of my mechanicals.

Almost like with guns also. Anyone with money, that can pass a background check, can get one. But give it to the wrong person and it's dangerous..

.. moronic laws are placed because of those who weren't smart and effects everyone. Laws will unfortunately always be like that. One bad apple ruins the bunch.

^^ agreed. Wholeheartedly.

You and I both own more than our fair share of great $100+ mech mods, but there are much better/cheaper mech options available currently than building from scratch IMO.

I own at least a dozen clone mech mods from Fasttech that are amazing and all in the $6-15 range. I would buy clones wayyyyy before I built something in an Altoids tin with duct tape. Just me in any case....

I use 6mg nic only. So far I've copy and pasted the suggested supply items and will get those hopefully sometime this week. I have a bunch of clean bottles in all sizes and storage containers already. I may need a few measuring items and that should cover the basics. Just trying to find out what I might make first; a creme, s&m, b&m, etc vape. I'll look at flavorings soon. Is there a nice one stop shop for nic, flavorings, etc?

Wizard labs sells Nic and flavorings. I have bought both from them. You will find more flavor selection and brands at a place like One Stop DIY Shop or GemlinsDIY tho.

That is used in the health & beauty industry.

Each to his own if the threading on this is boom then I'm down;

And I wonder how many 26650s I can squeeze in here?
Only time will tell

Bad jokes aside. You are right, but nobody apart from folks like us are stocking up on mech clones...

 

[bnrkwest]

I have 3 clone Nemesis and a Reo for my mech stash but I use Provari's daily. I think my Provari stash will last way longer than I will LOL!

 

[bnrkwest]

I got all my flavors 30 ml and up transferred to glass bottles today. Took awhile but done with that for years and years Kept the small sizes in the plastic since I'll use them up first. I still have a liter of Nic to put in bottles, will get to that maybe tomorrow.

 

[Zutankhamun]

@bnrkwest
Have you put me in your will yet??
That's spelled; Z-u-t-a-n...

Only kidding. I hope you outlive them pesky Provaris

Yeah, slightly jealous

 

[bnrkwest]

I also mixed up some Nature's Flavors Organic Toffee. I haven't vaped it for awhile but it is really a good stand alone flavor. Made up some more Reindeer P too, ran out LOL

I would be shocked if clones are available for as cheap as they are currently in the next couple of years. China will still make them and it won't be that hard to ship into countries like the US where they will be regulated/prohibited/taxed, but the days of useable $10 Nemmy clones will likely come to an end in the coming years IMO.

I have tons of mechs (almost 30) so I have no concerns about my ability to vape for the rest of my life, but I would hate to see Newbies watching YouTube videos with soldering iron in hand building potential bombs.
