Thanks! I just thought it up while I was ordering that stuff. Wish I could say I came up with it though. I pretty sure I saw it posted on ECF a while back and it's just been hiding in my subconscious all this time. Lol.
I'm a man, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.

Yes, I was pages and pages back, but saw your post, Dave, about GBO. I've ordered from them a few times. Their prices? Ab-Fab! Their shipping charges?? Not so nice. However, they package their glassware like nobody's business.
I told myself that I was just going to vape the less complicated stuff to quit smoking and not make it a hobby. It's becoming a hobby. I'm telling myself that after my purchase tomorrow, I'll have the set up I want. I'm already planning my next purchase after that.
Does it ever end? Does the madness stop?
Nope.
^^^I started out with the exact same mindset back in August. Now I've got three liters of nic, a nice handful of flavor concentrates, six mods with two more on the way, 20-some tanks, seven spools of various wires, beakers, flasks, syringes and an entire room in my house dedicated to vaping and financing, so I can budget for more vaping stuff.
I would say it's a disease, but a disease is something you want to get rid of. I guess it's more of a satisfying, yet somewhat expensive stress relief/hobby.

I guess when you are in the glass shipping business packaging is the key to preventing losses due to package tossing during delivery! They probably learned that the hard way.
I think it was JCinFla who steered me toward GBO. I've also ordered what looks like the same bottles and packaging from Amazon. The boxes had liner cardboard with separators criss-crossed between the bottles. The box was shrink wrapped on the outside.
I have ordered glass from GBO and Amazon. My GBO order arrived fine and well packaged while my amazon order was a box with separators but it was shipped inside another HUDGE box with no padding or bubble wrap so it slopped around inside the larger box and 2 of 12 were broke. Cost of returning it for the shipping claim was not worth the trouble so I ate the loss.
My oldest mod died so I ordered a couple of Picos. Ordered one then decided to get a second one the next day so they came separately.
One of them came straight to Indianapolis from Colorado, got to my local post office, then took off to a small town called McCordsville north of here for an excursion. Now it's back in Indy and out for delivery. The second one left Colorado, stopped for a day in Omaha Nebraska, stopped again in Des Moines, and today it arrived in Cincinnati.
USPS has always been pretty good for me but occasionally packages do take odd trips.
I worry a little about mods. I put in a lot of effort accumulating tanks from sales but not so much for mods. I have some Provaris and a stack of Spinners and some mechs, but not much else. My first Sigelei died, I have a couple of other Sig 30's that are both starting to have problems. My Grandson just enlisted in the Marines and yesterday he gave me his vaping gear, including a couple of old battered Isticks. Soon I'll have a couple of Picos. I need something with a little more power than a Provari for Lemo tanks.
Having my first regulated mod die after 2 1/2 years got me worrying. My other 2 Sigs are a couple of years old. How long will Picos last? There's a good chance that sometime soon when a mod dies you won't be able to buy a new one.

Not pictured: 2 more G2's I just got and 4 pico's I have gifted to my brother's girl-friend and her daughter-in-law. By the time Aug 2018 comes I plan to have probably twice as many mods or more.
My Amazon bottle order had the bottles in bubble wrap sleeves inside a box with crisscross separators. No breaks in that order. Those were 4oz clear glass w/polycone caps. I just looked up that order to see who shipped it. It was Glass Bottle Outlet. Six 4oz bottles for $8.99, FWIW.

How to know if you "are done stocking up"....you haven't even opened up the last 50 emails from suppliers for their "special, limited time sales"
I just got my order of flavoring from OSDIY. I LOVE the fact that the 120 bottle of Lucky Shot Blend I ordered came in a cobalt blue glass bottle. It saves me from having to transfer it into a cobalt blue glass bottle (I always transfer my 120 ml purchases of flavoring to blue glass bottles)

Today's vape mail. Extra springs for my Provari 2.5 that I haven't used....no battery or atomizer for it Umm, diy flavors that I did use mixing up 3 trial batches and one batch that I know I like...
GBO not only has their own website, but sells on both eBay and Amazon, too. I've had no breakage problems from them either. Everything's always been very well-protected & packed in the boxes so it can't clink together nor move around.
I'm also interested in the typical life span of the Pico, barring accidents. I have 2 of them and hope to acquire quite a few more as long as I can.
Ugh! Darn rent has to come first here. I usually have some play money mid month and nicotine comes before everything else.
I hear ya and feel your pain![emoji4] with the increase in tax coming to CA on April 1st, I had to step it up!
My husband knows my tin foil hat is getting a little tight and making me grumpy - pretty sure he'll be pitching in on the nic. He better if he knows what's good for him...
