I have strangely been on a flashlight kick recently. I am so stocked up with vape gear, I am worried about fasttech going out of business if I don't keep buying stuff. ;)

We camp a lot and I figured I would buy a couple of 18650 cheapie ($5) flashlights from FT a couple of months ago.

After seeing how much better even crappy 18650 lights are over the stuff you can get at Walmart or Home Depot, I decided I wanted something better, so ordered a few "high end" Chinese flashlights ($15-40). Huge difference as these lights can actually be too bright. :shock:

What's a Trinity X glass tank and how do you like them?
It replaces the "tank" portion on original Aromamizers V1 & V2.
I haven't used the original tank portion since I got a Trinity X. I'm using 2 with 6 backups.

I bought 8oz clear glass Wheaton Boston Rounds with poly seal caps to freeze it in just to be able to detect color changes. They just arrived the end of June. The little bit of light from opening a freezer door isn't going to degrade the nic like sunlight would, but they'll be wrapped, ziplocked, and cushioned packed in a brown box, and sealed with freezer tape to keep out light. I have my 100ml syringes with 14 ga 4" needles for transfer. Two syringes full will just about fill an 8oz bottle.
I have 5 x 100ml brown bottles with droppers , i decant into these fill to top so no air , rest are in 500mls , when i need any. I just pull out 100ml at a time

I even bought some 100ml medicine bottles brown ,

I keep them sealed only open 10pml at a time ,
keeps rest sealed without Oxygenation
Use glass pipette then i can see if colour change some nic can change Slightly over time anyway.
But mine stays good how im using it , so no doubt it will last,

I think Brown and Blue bottles are fine for liquids that see UV light. A certain amount of UV can be found around the home in fluorescent bulbs and the light that seeps in windows. In a freezer I'd rather be able to judge color, and especially after I take out a bottle to work from to mix juice. That's the only reason I bought clear bottles. Oxidation from exposure to air is probably a more formidable enemy to nicotine if we keep our mix bottles out of the light. Maybe I'm missing something. Everyone seems to be worried about their nic oxidizing and air is the most discussed enemy.

I was done but had to order a couple of Aromamizer Supreme V2's today.
I'm selling my Aromamizer Plus so that breaks even.
Now I'm done.

Never be done ive been saying that since last year , then a new updated rta comes along an [emoji33]back at it again,
Hate finding a tank i really like as need 2 of them all , due to regs , if i like it ,what if i break it lose it , or it gets lost or stolen , with new Regs id never get it again. So that makes me buy a spare ,then spare glass Orings screws , Airflow adapter yadda yadda.
Then i find a nice mod , and want to buy 2 of them again what if , lol , it get expensive ,
Its an addiction but at least a socially acceptable addiction.

Thats why i decant into 5 x 100mls at a time ,
I can work with one and have 4 that can be taken out freezer an be usable within a couple hours , since need shaking mixing to make sure there no concentrated parts within frozen nic liquid ,
Easier to work with smaller bottles rather than de lidding a larger one each time you need nicotine and if ever dreaded thing happens to it only be 100ml that might start turning not the 1 ltr,
a 100ml at a time
can last me a week or a month at a time
depending on if im mixing for myself or for others.

Where can you get Argon in consumer quantities? I know it comes in those huge welding pressure tanks, but is there a spray can or tiny tank available?
Fill to top of smaller bottles then no need for gas or Air Pocket , in bottles ,

the flashlight thing got me too Bre.....my way of rationalizing in order to make use of the 50 or so 10 amp 18650s id never use otherwise......the irony is ill never really utilize the flashlights either:)

That's my favourite Hip album.

This vid was filmed about a half mile from my house....

Small town vibe (Brooklin, Ontario) but thousands of high end houses.



My band still plays Courage and Blow at High Dough at every gig and have for over a decade.

Oh, I bought some Lightning Vapes wire today. Great stuff IMO. Some bad experiences I have heard in the past but I find it super clean and super cheap.

    The big problem is that a bottle of nicotine is going to spend half it's life half full of air.
    The bottle is only full of nicotine once.

    IMO, that's why rebottling nic base into much smaller bottles when you first get a L...is better than rebottling it into bottles that are 4oz. or larger, if they're going to be your "working" bottles. A 2oz. bottle that gets 1/2 full of air is better than having a 4oz. or 8oz. or larger one 1/2 full of air. The smaller the bottle...the less time the nic base will be in there with the air before it's used up. :thumbs:

    Or, if you DO use the larger ones (4oz., 8oz. etc.)...as soon as you need to use some in 1 of them, just immediately break it up into 2 or more smaller bottles with polycone caps. Only the 1 bottle that you have as a "working one"...will be exposed to air then. That's what I do with all of my nic base.

    Same here. Long term freezer storage in 8oz
    broken down to a 4oz & 2oz in the freezer and a 2oz in the fridge to use.
