My first post to this thread was the day it started in June 2016.. It's interesting to see my plan hasn't changed and still seems as sensible as it did back then. I have a higher percentage of Picos than originally planned because it's still the only mod I care to use day to day. The only atomizer that interests me is still the SV rda clone. I switched from 28 to 30 gauge stainless wire to reduce the amount of vapor and ireduce battery consumption. I increased nic from 10 to 12 mg which reduced my liquid consumption from 7 to 6 ml per day. Opening my first 1 liter bottle of MFS nic concentrate, after 2 years in the freezer, is reassuring. There's no color change and it vapes as normal. Even so I'm procrastinating on the last of the nic I planned to buy so that may be it goes in the freezer fresher. The last nic buy will increase the stash from 14 years to 20.

In the mean time I love the economics of this habit. Cost of material for a year, 26 builds and 100 wicks, is $2.00. Cost of ingrediants for a year supply of liquid is $25. May be I'll buy a fresh pair of 18650's sometime next year whether I need them or not (big spender).

I don't suppose I'll ever be done. I just moved house, and up popped a vape shop in the strip center up the road. Just popped in to see what they offered. I took a hard look at the RX2, because I love my RX 200s. That'll probably be my first foray into the large diameter batteries, although I'm still waiting a bit to see how the cells develop. But off in the corner was a dusty old consignment case with some used mechs dimly visible therein. So I got weak and picked up a stainless Ragnarok, a stainless SV and a gold Anarchist; all authentic, total less than a Franklin.

My lucky day :)

Heads up notice!!! Provarifuel aka Cascade Wilderness is having a sale starting today 12/29 thru 1/1/2018
15% off with coupon code CELEBRATE

Everyone knows how I am always on the PROVARIFUEL bandwagon! I brag constantly how my Nautilus coils in my Kabukis can last for months. Well it’s because PROVARIFUEL makes the cleanest and freshest juices around. Add that to the fact they provide all combos of pg/vg and 0,3,12,18,24 mg. They just can’t be beat! IMHO

Anyone know if RTD has a current discount code running for New Years? I gotta get a few batteries after culling my old ones. Yes, I did miss the last one. :(
I am on their email list and don't believe I have seen anything recently from them. I did get some new batteries from them with their Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale.

I haven't been around the site much lately at all. Glad to see people's stashes are coming together! I don't think I've bought anything in the last year or so except some batteries from RTD on black Friday and a bottle of flavor I was low on. As of next month it will be 3 years that I've been vaping daily on the current REO Grand I'm holding and the same VA cyclone has been attached to it the whole time. Both still chugging along like champs.Only issue with the Grand I had is that I eventually squonked a hole in the bottle.:D Pulled another bottle out of storage and carried on.

FYI. Replaced older (less than reliable) mods with several Smoant Charons (218 TC) -- and extremely pleased. These are just excellent. Moderate weight, good hand feel, solid 510, built like a brick, unbelievably smooth and consistent vape, and feel like they will last for years. If anyone is wondering, give a try. I mostly vape kayfuns with TC (~420F) using rayon with nickel wire. Enjoy!

I don't believe I ever answered the question of this thread's title (i'm not even sure i've posted here :?: )

But in response,,,

YES YES YES, and then some.

We started in the Spring of 2014, with a definite plan. And we followed it to the letter. All else from the end of the stocking was a teensy bit of chocolate for dessert. ;)

The only way I would ever be done stocking up would be if I stopped vaping. There is always something new that goes on my wish list which is way longer than my bucket list!
well put Steve......my sentiments exactly!

Yeah, aside from coils, wick, and the occasional juice order going forward, I already have too much of everything. :facepalm:
But that's OLD. I want new and shiney stuff. [emoji6]

As long as technology and innovation keep advancing at their current pace and gear remains affordable I'll -never- truly be finished stocking up. :) 2017 was a banner year for mods and attys, 2018 is shaping up to be even better.

If/when U.S. customs starts seizing shipments and/or my state imposes (and enforces) a draconian vape tax, then I'll be finished shopping. Until then I'll buy anything that catches my eye. Fortunately I've never suffered from shiny-i-tus and only buy what might be functionally better than what I already have so purchases are few and far between. Even so, 2017 saw both my favorite mod and atty "dethroned" and I hope 2018 proves to be as fruitful because "better" is always a good thing. ;)
