I think im drooling! What a nice stash :w00t:
nice but i dont understand why so many pre-built factory coils. i have gotten away from them for BOTH a cost AND availability during a ban (if it happens). with all of the hardware i bought i probably would be completely broke if i bought factory coils. i would rather buy rolls of kanthal and bags of cotton. im going to have a huge cache by the end of the week.

i will have
$75 flavorings order, lots of different flavors some larger bottles
glycube, i choose 3 gallons VG 1 PG
8 NIB relux 2/3 mods
17 liter of 100 MG
20 NIB LG brown 3000 MAH
1 new nitecore 4 bay charger
8 NIB aromamizer 6ML
4 NIB reaper plus
3 kanger NIB KBOX 200W
1 used eleaf 100W that needs repair to 510 connection. going to fix it
1 good but used nano kbox, single 18650 50W max
1 provari 2.5 used but works good
1 unopened 35 ft roll of kanthal 26 ga, 1 unopened 100 ft roll of
kanthal 24 ga
1 bag of japanese cotton 180 sheets, unopened

that's stuff that sealed NIB, does not include what i am vaping with and my wife is vaping with right now. we both currently already have good equipment
she has a relux RX200 the older version. works perfect paint is a little worn but who cares. i am vaping on a dripbox 160 with an aromamizer. nice mod but i couldnt stand the factory dripper. i still have it in my parts and it still works. that thing spit hot liquid in my face, it got me in the eye once and i gave up. nothing wrong with the mod

i think im sure getting there not much more that i want to buy right now, spare parts will be the next and last order for a while unless something else comes up dirt cheap.

some of the stuff was bought just because it was such a good deal. i picked up all 3 Kbox mods for $95, 6 aromamizers and 4 drip tips for $75, glycube $78 shipped, 16 liters of 100 because it was on sale for $40 a liter, 18650 LG batteries for $5.60 ea, reapers at $5 ea, relux 2/3 for $32 ea

all told i have enough to keep FDA off my door for a long time. im at about $2,000 maybe a little less. i will continue to buy slowly till i can get it anymore. if something breaks i will replace it. that way if he head into a ban, everything unopened remains "stock" to keep going.

I'm not a build your own person either. I'll keep one just in case. It just has to last until the FDA and BT figure out how to make enough money to be worth letting the vaping thing go. I think as long as our products are cheap like they are, there will be a problem.

Until I started vaping I really did believe that all non smokers wanted me to quit, including the gov, and all them medical people. What a joke. I was so naïve.

I asked Kimberly, of OSDIY Shop, about that in our last phone conversation. She told me that storing them to just avoid heat and direct sunlight was fine...no need for refrigeration. Said flavorings will not "go bad" longterm, but some might get just a tiny bit weaker after an extended time.

I'm keeping my working size bottles & vials of flavorings in my mixing case, and the larger bottles that I refill those with...are in Priority Mail boxes they came in. House has A/C in use when it's hot outside, and temp. inside is never higher than 72-74 degrees. She said that's perfectly fine.

This good info to have, thank you. :)

The card I have been using for vape stuff got hacked. Just got a call that they had received calls about my account from another state and someone tried purchasing a $1k+ mac from apple. Time to do that credit freeze thing and look into a pre-paid card or 2nd account at my credit union for online transactions.



I will have to give my next VG batches a try at 15%.

That really stinks. I'm sorry they got you also. I got a letter today from my cc company. They closed the investigation on my hacked card and I'm not responsible for the charge. They didn't give any other details, but I didn't figure they would. $2000 vacation was charged in August :mad: They closed my account and sent me a new card the next day.

Any charges I get that are out of the norm for my lifestyle are not paid and the card is put on hold. Benefit of a small credit union. I check regularly, and call if there is a problem. The last time my card was compromised, she said that someone had been trying to make motel reservations and not succeeding just before the one I caught was put on hold.

    Well that is cheeky of them. I haven't had a vacation in forever and someone tries to have one on you.

    refrigerator
    the problem with that is we have a 30 year old fridge, adequate for food but barely. the wife wouldn't be too happy if my flavors took up a whole shelf. i refuse to get rid of the fridge, because honestly it might be out of date but its a trooper. it never gives me an issue. why replace it? keeps the food good and cold, just barely big enough. the nic freezer i bought it sharing with extra space for food that barely fit in the freezer. literally that freezer was so small you couldnt fit a tooth pick after grocery shopping. still dont know how i closed the freezer the last time i filled it.

    I placed a big flavour order and the vendor was nice enough to include a few weird flavours for free.

    Now what to do with red licorice and raisin!!! LOL.
    How about oatmeal raisin cookie?

    Now the red licorice you are on your own.

    Fozzy i may have already posted this i dont remember. You might look into a bank of america card for online purchases. With that you can use a "shop safe" number. It is a cc number you get online on the BOA website for the amount you wish and it is charged to your cc. This way you dont have to type in your real cc number.

    I always use a shop safe online … ever since many years sgo my card from snother company was hacked for about $12K.

    Good man/woman I personally use sustainably sourced rapeseed derived Vg. It's cheap and I don't feel iffy yet.

    "The earths lungs". I like that. It's not only ours we should worry about.
    We're making ourselves better, why not do our bit?

    :thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:
    Trees are not the earths lungs

    They take in oxygen at night. They are dormant parts of the year. They take a LOT of oxygen as they rot and break dowm.

    The real lungs of the planet is the plankton in the oceans and algae in lakes and Ponds.

    One of my Uncles got 6 months in the clink for tearing their town flagpole down.
    Damn Vichy used to hoist their nazi loving flag so he tore it down. Cool guy.

    I don't know if we visited Montpellier.
    We drove all over France. I recognize Perpignan and know we visited Barcelona.
    You're a couple hours drive from Carcassonne. One of my favorite places I've visited.
    Another was Quibron :thumb:

    I have always had Visa, and they have notified me by phone several times to ask about a charge. I was never responsible for any hacking. I've had Visa for 30 years and been contacted maybe 3-4 times, and issued a new card. There are safer cards to use out there.

    Yup, with one company I too was contacted about a questionable purchase. I too was issued a new card when mine was hacked. Of course I had to wait for it to arrive before I could shop with that CC - maybe there is a way around that these days.

    But I am very private about all my numbers - CCs, SS, etc - I don't send them out into the world by any means unless absolutely necessary and never virtually. Shop safe helps me me do my online shopping without worrying.

    May I recommend Pay Pal and debit card?

    The debit card only has access to the money in the Pay Pal account. Go online to see tge charges. Get 1% cash back on purchases when you swipe the card as a Credit card. Buy stuff from FT from my Pay Pal account.

    I use my Pay Pal debit card to purchase Groceries, buy things on Amazon, etc.

    Every month Pay Pal drops $7-11 of free money in my Pay Pal acct. $84+ a year. Yes i will pick up free $

    Forgot something when Home Depot was hacker not one Purchaser by Pay Pal (direct trsnsfer) was compromised that i know of. Direct fund transferrs are safer than Credit debit cards

    Not sure about Pay Pal purchases with Debit or Credit card transfer.
