That's what I was thinking, just worried about stripping threads. How do I prevent that?
I estimate an atomizer ought to last 2 years of continuous service. My stockpile is intended to go 10 years, so five atomizers. But suppose I lose one or my 2 year estimate is just wrong. For that I have a redundant supply, 5 more. I planned the same for mods, so 10 of those. With nic I have a 10 year supply plus a redundant supply from a diifferent supplier. In the end I'm very likely to be good for 10 years and may be 20 if nic is immortal and the devices work better than planned. My cost for all that is $650, what I used to spend for 3 months of smoking in Michigan. The stockpiled items are kept new in the box. What I use every day is not counted.

@benley73 Very good looking mods.

I got my Taifun GT 3 mini yesterday. Have to say I found it easy to build on. Vape works for me as well. I am able to squeeze it onto my Pico but can barely budge the battery cap afterwards. I have had no leaking problems, but using less than 24 hours. I used a Rayon spaced coil build on it. My negative with this one is the mouthtip. I don't like it much and since you need that to adjust the jfc I won't be buying more of the Taifun.

My smok AL85 also came in. I like the form, look, weight of it. I tried to set it up for TC and found it confusing and stuck it back in its box. I may give it another shot later as I really wanted it to work for me, lol. Otherwise it will go to the son-in-law as he doesn't do TC.

You can fit a small 510 drip tip in the Taifun tip allowing you to have your own and keep JFC ,
i have the small fodi tips in mine ,
And there is a adapter you can buy for it but isnt cheap

Stock up on spare glass/Orings , and parts this could help keep them going longer , my most used RTA,s Taifun an SR v4 i have quite a few spare Glass tanks for these , I have around 500 Grub screws stashed in various sizes , just need more O rings now and some little wide head screws

Not sure why I didn't think of that, thanks. I have a couple tips that do fit it and it is better. I put it on my DNA mod too where it actually fits :)

I have a size run of orings from FT including for drip tips which I use for adjusting fit, not just for spares. I favor a particular drip tip so have extras of those. I also use a certain slip ring and always have a silicone sleeve on any mod I'm carrying so I have extras of those. But I don't count them in the stockpile because they are dollar items, not essential, and I'll probably be able to find them in a pinch. Screws, wire, cotton, batteries,, PG, VG, and flavoring are also not counted in the stockpile because they are generic. I do have a few years supply of those (not the fasteners).

There have been positive political developments for vaping since the election so may be the crackdown won't be so draconian but that will not influence my stockpile plans. I know what I can vape on for the rest of my days, it's all dirt cheap and will last 10-20 years, cheap insurance the way I'm doing it. $650 to replace so many years of smoking is chump change.

Hi @Pamawoman ...I just put in an Aroma order (Thanx to you) with the 30% OFF code...

Was just wondering where you ran across the code...for my next order...(they don't have an email newsletter...that I'm aware of)...

When I tried my first e-cig...I immediately, and completely, stopped smoking analogs...

But...after a month or two I noticed a (very) slight "mental fog"...

Then I ran across @jensy 's thread (below)...tried some WTA...and now am as awake and alert as I had been as a smoker...

It's a little expensive when compared to my usual "SALE" ejooses...(but not, of course, when compared to analogs)...but a 30ml. bottle lasts me 6-8 months...

I vape at the Nicotine-6mg. level...but keep a flavored WTA-24mg. filled T3S in my rotation...

I take 5-10 puffs in the AM, 5-10 puffs in the afternoon and 5-10 puffs in the evening...(USUALLY)...

They send me emails. I am not sure why. I am registered on their site and I follow their forum on here. I also keep a bottle of WTA 24 unflavored around. Just to kick stuff up a notch if I am super stressed. Maybe that is why I never crave a stinkie anymore. I always recommend them to people that can not quite put down the cigs down for good. Got me right over the hump. So grateful that I found out about them through ECF.

Just bought another rdta, so that brings me up to 8. How many yrs should I get from each one?

That's what I was thinking, just worried about stripping threads. How do I prevent that?

I bought spare bases for all my tanks - for my other items I am using adapters - they are normally made of better materials that the item itself... I have been using one tank for around 4 years now - had to change the base once...

I like the clones of the Taifun GTv3 a lot some are as good as the Original tbh. Which i have also ,
As long as you dont choose the cheapest version clone that comes in a little blk zip bag ,
from what i read it is the worst version an prone to leaks ,
for sake of say 2 usd its worth getting the better version ,
Its a lot better design than the GT v2 , Simple build deck , so quick an easy to build on ,
3 great clones cheap for 50 usd , these save you like 400usd compared to originals
Taifun GTv3
Hussar rta (Coppervapes)
Srv4 RTA
All single coil decks all great flavourful vapes
I still love and use My Steam Crave Supremes , love the 30mm plus , 25mm Supreme limited edition with 2decks
And im awaiting the new
Supreme v2 to be released 25mm built like the 30mm plus in 25mm

New ijoy mod comes with 2 x cells 20700 cells so should last a little longer than 18650s

Just have to let you all know about evape.us. I ordered YESTERDAY a Nautilus 2 for $22.98 &1.6 nauti coils a 5 pack for 8.99 per pack. The price on the coils was so great I got a whole bunch for the stash. I am trying not to build coils until I have to. The most amazing thing is my order was here TODAY. LOL I wish I would have known they were in Oviedo, like 5 minutes from me, and I would have been skipping FT. Really great prices and free shipping at $25.00!

Yeah , utilizing "basic common sense" is not strictly prohibited anymore and has been deemed legal .

Pana...have you run across the Joyetech CLR Coils yet...

They're designed to be rebuilt (and each 5-pack comes with instructions)...

You remove 1 from the blister pack...screw into tank...then vape as usually do...

Then after awhile when flavor lessens...it's easy to just replace cotton/rayon...

Getting a little harsh...it's easy to dry-burn...

When coil (after a number of re-wicks and dry-burns) gets beyond repair...just wrap a new Kanthal/SS etc. coil...


Joyetech CLR Coils (5 pack)


A LOT of tanks can use the CLR coils. I prefer the eGo ONE Mega V2 Tank...because of its 4ml. capacity and GREAT AFC...
