Are you done stocking up?

Your pic just got me interested, since I'd never seen marked bottles. Didn't take me long to find them since they popped up in my very first search for them. :)

I do like that they're marked, but I'm not really crazy about the taller neck on them, because of the tamper evident cap with the ring on the bottom. But it's not a deal breaker for me.

I assume, since there aren't enough marks between the 25 and the number 50 to go by 5mLs...that 50mL is up to the line that goes all the way around the bottle.

Also, I noticed this seller only carries the marked ones in 50mL. Found another seller who also sells them in the 30mL, but that seller's bottles are slightly more expensive + $2.48 S/H by ePacket.

I can't decide now. Do I want them, or just keep using the ones I have, that I put a 1" fine Sharpie line at the 30mL and 50mL marks for my 60VG/40PG mark? These would definitely be more useful for various PG/VG ratios though, since all the markings are on them, no matter what ratio someone is making. Might help a couple people locally that I'm teaching my method to also.

EDIT: Question for you about the tips - Are they the one-drop-at-a-time dispensing tips? But you can poke a large gauge needle through them to make them streaming tips? Or are they already the streaming ones?

Depends how hard you squeeze the bottle. They're secure enough to squeeze a good stream without it popping off. I use them for flavorings too.

There is a mark for 50ml too. It's right at the upper circumference line.

I think I've caught that affliction most people here suffer from. You know, that one where you think your finally done stocking up, then you find something else you need?

I'm like 99.99% certain that I know exactly what tanks and mods I want and how many. But over the past couple nights I've been like, "oh wait, I'm gonna need some of these. Gonna need some of those too."

Pretty sure I've figured up everything I'm gonna need now but I'm sure next week I'll think of something else I need to get.

I'm a man, and I can change, if I have to, I guess.

I won't lie to myself. I'm certain that I already have everything I need to vape for the rest of my life.

But that doesn't mean there isn't stuff stuff that I still want. :D

Lol I'm trying my very hardest not to buy what I want and only what I need. I decided I would choose about 6 different mods and 6 different RTA's and stock up on them. Everything else is needed (spare glass, o-rings, diy supplies, etc.).

IMO, too many different types of gear is a mistake. Let's say the board dies in one mod and you mangle the 510 on another. If they're different, well, you have two broken mods. But if they're the same type, you can make one working one from the two broken ones.

I'm not skilled enough in electronics for anything like that. But I've budgeted it out so that of the 6 mods I chose, I will have anywhere from 2 to 6 of each. Back-ups will sit in their boxes until the day their predecessor kicks the bucket.

I would unpack and test any mods you buy before tossing into the stash for later. I have had at least one arrive DOA that the vendor thankfully replaced after testing.

Oh I always test my new toys when I get them. Fortunately for me that's an issue I have yet to face.

I am pretty sure I have lost my mind. I have four orders shipping. I am getting more nic to put away. That will boost storage to over 9 years at the ml I vape.

Then rebuildable atomizers. I keep seeing things I think I can "maybe" rebuild. The latest is a digiflavor siren gta. Watched some reviews on it and it seems pretty idiot proof.

So of course I need all the building tools, wire, cotton,...ahhhh. That will be order #5

;) I have 6 orders floating around at the moment too. I feel sad and empty if I'm not tracking some sort of vapemail.

Prioritize yourself or you will go broke! :D

Those building tools etc will always be around.

I try to keep my weekly spending to what I would have spent on smokes, or less ($60-$70). I'll admit though, sometimes it's more - like the 2 liters of nicotine I'm waiting on.

Enablers!

True, but buying premade coils at 12.00 a five pack grates me. I do plan on learning to build my own before I purchase many more of these. You are right though, I have time to space these orders out.

I hated having to buy coils and I am so much happier building my own. It's my zen mommy time, kids in bed, vape gear spread out over the dining room table, frosty beer at hand. Building and mixing is my happy place.
