That id one great benefit of being prepared. Yoy have supplies to last months so when toy see a bargain on something go ahead and scoop it up.
A LOT of people kicked against the Kayfun 5 or Mini v3 because tge airflow was too loose. With tge Mini V3 i could take a slightly restrictive Lung hit on tge Mini V3.
I could use some good pre built coils! My eyesight and crazy hands will appreciate it! I have never bought pre builts but I think it's time!
Are there any that are made in the USA?

Very good point. Some mods have a spring loaded 510 and others have a stationary 510. Mg Friend Bill was using an X6 battery witg CE4 clwaromiser. Hs had to get a GS H2 after breaking his CE4. LATER he picked up other CE4 but they wouldnt work because tge GS H2 had pushed tge 510 so tge CE4s NO longer made contactHave you tried the Melo 3 tank on another mod or two ? Sounds like you've most likely have a problem with the tank's 510 connection pin not making contact with the mod's 510 pin. I'd try other mods first to see if it works on them. You may need to gently, using fingernails or a pin to pull the pin out a bit. Gentle being the key word here
Ive been. Vaping 0 mg for almost 11 months.
I didn't think i woukd ever get that monkey off my back but NOW IM FREE!!!
Mike there is a difference between prepping and hoarding.
Trust me i know. I had a neighbor with 650 ceramic twa pots in a 1 bedroom apt.
Prepping us stocking up on things yoy will use anyway.
Ive had a prepping mind set since taking that survival course in 1973.
I have a bug out bag with spare clithes, water filters, compass, emeegency blankets, etc. Add food and fuel to it. I can be out tge door in 10 minutes with enough food snd fuel to survive in tge Catalina foothills for 3 weeks with several buried caches i can dig up where i can stay in the hills for 6 months. Have alcohol stoves so i can cook my food without a wisp of smoke betraying my location.
The best way to survive Is to keep your head while others are freaking out. While people are freaking out and looting i will have hot food and taking it easy in my Hammock tied between two Mesquite trees.
I hear you on all dog & pony stuff, as well as pretty much taking the "teacher" out of the teaching process. That was coming when I retired. Friends who were still teaching 2-3 years later...told me I got out just in time! Not many of them stayed much longer either.
About the fixed income - In my county the teachers had pretty much been on a "fixed income" for years already. Then, the school year after I'd retired in July...they got a nice, big, raise. Would've bumped me up $7,200 that year! If I'd have known that was coming...I'd have stayed 1 more year. I took early Soc. Sec. at 62, so I could start making use of it...while I was still able to enjoy it!
With DIY - Go ahead and dip your toes in it...the water's fine, and it's fun, too! There are lots of us here to help you learn how to do it. All you need to do is ask.

USA made coils are crazy expensive generally.
These seem great for the price. Good reviews and a few resistance/wire options.....
$5.61 Kanthal A1 Pre-Coiled Resistance Wire for Rebuildable Atomizers (100-Pack) - 24 AWG / 0.5mm dia. / 0.5ohm / 21.8*21.8mm leads at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
I started mass producing coils a while ago. Whenever I made coils for my Protanks I made a few extra and put them in a box. Plan was to build up a lifetime supply. Installing them is a lot easier than winding them. I did the calculations and it wouldn't take too many hours work to get where I want to be. Made a couple of extra Kayfun coils as well. Figured I could do it now while my eyes and hands are still capable. I guess eventually I will get to where I can't even install them.
I got lazy though. I started using coils from the stash box. One of these days I'll get back on track.
Oh, they have 1.5Ω coils. I think I'll get a pack of those to throw in the cabinet for just in case someday.
I don't have a lot put away but if I do hit in 2018 when I hit 55 I'll have enough to take care of the basics. I figure on travelling, finding a small flat/room in a City/Town/Village. Figure get to know the area and people, pick something up on the side to pay for extra's. Hell maybe teach some English, basic computer skills or maybe a bit of Computer Network work for small business, be a Mototaxi driver. Hell anything that doesn't take much effort or time, only something for a bit of small change.
Kayfun V5 works great, very restricted airflow in my book
Yeah I just got a couple of multi partition pill containers to store my coils and going to be doing the same thing. Great minds think alike
I wish I could retire. I don't think I am wired for it though. Since my teens I go 25 to 30 hours up, sleep 4 to 6, then rinse and repeat. That's a lot of time to fill.
Oh I'll still be very active, just removing a major portion of BS from my life. My focus is going to be to enjoy life and not being a Corporate Slave ;-)
The only thing I can say that I miss, is looking forward to the weekend. Now one day is the same as all the others
I chose a 20 year stock up plan when I decided not to let the politicians decide if I can vape, going forward. I'm 62 now, and doubt I'll be vaping when I'm 82, if I even make it that long. So, the 20 year plan left me plenty of margin for early mod failures and the like. I feel pretty good about my stock.
I'm suffering a severe case of jealousy though, reading all the retired comments..lol. My retirement target is August, when I turn 63. We'll see if I have to adjust that target when it gets closer. Hopefully I'll have the right ducks in the right row. I'm beyond fed up with the 40 hour rat race.

I meant to be done by August but ended up continuing for a while picking up sale items. But I haven't bought anything in over a month now and I just don't want anything else. I'm pretty vape gear saturated at this point. I'll be in for some new 18650s though if anyone sees a sale somewhere.
