Are you done stocking up?

Hey folks! Been off the forum for many months. I've had no reason to discuss much because I haven't bought a thing since the stock up madness last year.

I have a sigelei spark 40W mod that I've been using near daily for over a year. It's been dropped countless times and the connection is bent now so the tank sits at a slight angle. Zero issues and still vaping like a champ.

I did have a cloupor mini 40W die on me. It started firing by itself so I tossed it in the can. Other than that, all my doomsday stash is performing flawlessly. My wife has been using a Pico daily for over a year too and zero issues with that one. Hard to say how long these cheaper mods will last but from what I've seen so far, they are pretty damn durable. My stash box is still loaded with brand new vtc mini's, picos, and a couple sigelei sparks.

I've been thinking about adding a few mods lately while it's still easy. Since both my wife and I stick to low power we still only need single 18650 mods. Anything good out there that I'm missing? I poked around fasttech a few times and there doesn't seem to be anything interesting that I don't already have something comparable to. I don't need high power and that seems to be the biggest selection nowadays. I might just add a few sigelei mods and call it a day for now.

I have no idea of your price range, Bob, but for the bucks, this can NOT be beat. Not by a long shot.

lol! Well, at least for the moment I believe it!


I certainly believe you. Especially if you have been buying as aggressively as I have been this year. I am sure I had a head start on you.

The best i can say is I am closer to being done than I was last month.

I just need some squirrel traps now.

A simple VW only that's only claim to fame is using a 20700 battery for $75? Ah, no.
yeah, same for me but not really a bad price for a mod + tank and 2 of those batteries (I believe they are re-wrapped ijoy batteries based on the review I watched).

There should be a bottle of nic waiting for me on the front porch today. There is one more to buy after that and the nic budget is done. I'm a bit spooked about nic supply so speeding that up a bit. I have enough atomizers. The remaining question mark is how many more mods to get. I decided a year ago that Picos would be the mainstay and nothing has come along since to change that view. I'm still calculating that the mods I'm storing should each be good for 2 years of continuous service.

Do I have it right that products are supposed to stop being available in November unless certain paperwork is filed with the FDA by then? I think there was an August 2017 deadline that was kicked back to November?

I have strangely ordered more flashlights than mods as of late.

I have no interest in building a flashlight "collection" at all, but as we are camping a lot this year and I wanted a few new solid lights that use 18650's.

Fasttech and other retailers currently have amazingly bright and well made lights for $5-30. Much better value than what you will find at Walmart, Dick's, Home Depot, etc.

Oh, my new Tesla Nano mod should be here this week though. :D

    Do you have a recommendation for a 1-mode 18650 light that FT sells.
    I have a feeling the 5-mode I got, failed because of the switch.
    I don't need one that can land a 747 in heavy fog with the strobe effect.
