I've got enough mods and various toppers to last well beyond my lifetime. For some reason, I stil can't help picking up a few here and there though. 
I just ordered another 3L of freebase, and 1/2L of salts. That will put me at about 11L total between freebase and salt nic. That ought to be it for me.
As far as VG/PG goes, I'm not really too concerned about the availability of it. I probably will pick up 3 gallons of VG and a gallon of PG though in the next month or so. That won't even touch the amount I'll need to get through my nic, but it will be enough to last a long while if I have to go black market for it next time.

I'm thinking about ordering another cube, it is so handy having it around, like being your own vape shop LOL
I think the next natural step for Provari would be a Dicodes mod. Don't want to get your hopes up though, I want to buy ONE and I'll be saving up for it until some time next year.
But quality and durability aplenty and certainly there are other very high end mod makers and tank manufacturers but you start getting into really serious pricing.
I suppose over the long haul (for the long haul) I've collected a fair number of provaris. I don't regret it, honestly. I don't think my vaping style is likely to change much. I'm happy with what I have etc.

If you are using a 22mm tank I'd recommend the Wismec RX75 for outstanding hand feel and compact size for a single 18650 mod. They tolerate rough use. The finish on the doors is the weak point but I like them stripped down to bare metal once they wear, although skins are available. I've had about 95000 puffs on my first one so far and thanks to clearances have gotten a few more for the long run. They're here for about $17 shipped - Wismec Reuleaux RX75 Temperature Control 75W Box Mod Powered by Single 18650 Battery with Upgradeable Firmware - Cvapor.com
Between these and ProVari 2.5's, the rest of my mod hoard is just for fun but not necessary.

I'm thinking I've heard bad things about these lately. Is it just the finish on the doors? I thought it was more substantial than that.
The one complaint I've seen since the RX75 came out was that the mechanical door lock switch can get stuck or stop working. As it has a fire bar with a good amount of resistance, I've never used the lock and it's never fired in my pocket. When I want to turn it off it's just five clicks, so the switch seemed redundant to me anyway. Other than that it's been good in terms of battery life and consistent power until the battery runs down. Leaky toppers haven't caused the sprung 510 to cause any issues either. I use it in power mode so I can't judge it's TC worthiness. Not quite as smooth hitting as a ProVari or a DNA device but very close so no problem with choppiness, which I seem to have issues with in many cases.
Maybe I've just been lucky. All I know is it is easy to hold, easy to fire and almost as short as a true side by side device.
I must say I am spoiled with my Provari's. The only other mods I got for back ups are Pico's and a Reo and a couple mech's. But I have so many Provari's I doubt I will run out. I did just get the Lost Vape Orion as an out and about pod. It is so cute! So tiny and pretty Works fine for me but still no Provari
Works fine for me but still no Provari
For a pod it works great. It acts more like a higher end regulated device in my opinion. It is very portable! With the air flow on low and on low power it gives a very decent MTL vape for me. The pods are supposed to last 14 days. If care is used to watch and make sure the cotton is saturated it works well on low for me. Opened up is very airy but still ok. I think using a higher PG works well, if high VG I would add a few drops of water for good juice flow. I'm using .50 pods. Anyway, not sorry I got it. It's a fun little thing 
Those are really tempting, but I'm disinclined to buy gear unless it's either so cheap that I don't mind throwing in the trash when it dies (like the Aspire Breeze devices I bought recently) or I think I can use it indefinitely (all my other gear). At $65, the Orion doesn't fit the first category, and it doesn't fit the second either due to the internal battery and the question: How long will replacement pods be available?Here's a little review of the Orion if anyone is interested
Zenith D22's on the way.
I think that's it for me. But not going to commit to that just yet.... I am an ECF member afterall.
Edit:
A pair of 2ml Zeniths from England for my Rover X are on the way too. Now.... I think I'm done.
$5 shipping to the US. Nice
End edit.

Since it is a high end pod, that wouldn't surprise me.I got a feeling that it won't be long until the Chinese start cloning the Orion pods.
Yes I think the price is high, not sure how long the batt will last. It was a splurge for me since I have not bought anything in 2 yrs LOL
Under normal circumstances the thought wouldn't have even crossed my mind but it seems to me like the zealots are pulling out all the unthinkable actions to save the cigarette industry. Vaping is actually doing what the anti-smoking crowd has claimed they wanted and they are still not satisfied. The zealots are making too much money to give up now or ever.A normal person would give you a number of reasons why that's unlikely. I agree with most of those reasons. But I have plenty of PG and VG put up in one liter glass bottles stashed in the back of a closet, just in case I'm wrong.
I also have enough vg/pg in the closet to last me as long as I need it to last. Another case of better safe than sorry.
Sadly if online sales for vaping products get banned, the rest of the country will be in the same boat I found myself in a couple of years ago. My state banned online sales of e-liquid but lots of vendors took it one more step and refused to sell me anything
Fortunately I had already gone to DIY e-liquid and because of all of y'all prompting me I stockpiled everything I actually needed. Since this is the "Are you done stocking up thread" just a warning, if you aren't stocked up yet, now would be a very good time to get it done. Find something you like well enough to use from now on and stock up on it. If you don't already do it now would be a good time to start making your own e-liquid. Don't wait until you find yourself in my boat. Once the "powers that be" deemed this a tobacco product they opened the door to banning online sales just like they did for other tobacco products.
As always, just my humble opinion.
I agree, DIY is not difficult and actually fun and will save you a ton of money too. I haven't bought ready made juice in over 2 yrs. it really is about freedom to vape when you stock up

Although I don't disagree in the use of the term zealot, I do feel the need to say that not all are looking out for big tobacco. Some are yes.
First off to them nicotine is a drug. One they feel a need to regulate. Me, I'm not completely against that anymore than I'm against the USDA making sure my steak is cow and not camel. To make sure companies sell what they say they are selling and ensuring it does not end up in the hands of kids with a stolen credit card who checked the yes I'm 18+ box at an online store.
Second, to most inhaling warmed chemicals is a cousin to smoking tobacco. Especially when it is done to introduce nicotine. To those who claim it is nowhere near the same just think of this; if inhaling it provides a chemical reaction other than what mother nature provides, the government bearucrats see potential revenue and the need for regulation.
Third, there is a huge market for harvest in addition to big tobacco. Lots of smokers across the planet ensure big tobacco will be just fine. There is room for both as the industrialized world gets smaller and smaller. So again there is potential for revenue in addition to tobacco money.
And last, battery safety. To us it seems easy. But to the masses who think cheaper is better and believe a $12 battery at eBay for $1.99 plus free shipping is the genuine article there is danger aplenty.
Me? I aint scared. If worse comes to worse I'll soak a carton worth of cigarettes and make my own juices from flavorings at wal mart and nicotine from cigarettes.
I've had to make the transition from Kayfun into the mire of new high tech smaller atties and it's actually been good. I still vape my Kayfuns in rotation with various other short 24mm atties and the Doggy Style. Kayfun is still right up there in favor as long as you replace the coil and wick at proper intervals, but that's something you have to do with any atty. Most of the new ones wick juice a little better than the KF2. They have to because many use them for higher wattage applications.
The new attys have great build decks that are easy to recoil, IMO. Many are Velocity style. I still use a 510 coil ohm meter as a base for my builds. Velocity style decks are easier to build than a Kayfun. Most Velocity decks use hex screws. The rest are like a Kayfun with Phillips. A few are slotted screws. All are easy for a Kayfun user.

So since making your morning coffee produces vapor and you feel this needs to be regulated too? Cooking your food creates vapor. Maybe we should outlaw cooking food period. Make it illegal to have any cooked food at all and all food must be eaten raw.
You know what regulation has brought us? Food at the grocery store with no nutritional value at all. All it has done is to kept the good and healthy stuff from getting to the market. Not that the small farmers are doing anything wrong, but the USDA imposes so many rules and regulation they just can't afford to comply. Exactly what the big companies want to happen. As they have regulation in their pocket and that is the way they want to keep it.
Maybe you love regulation. But I see it as a death sentence for the citizens. Soon the police state will be in full effect and all citizens must become mindless robots and accepting whatever comes their way.
Just my assumption, but Big Tobacco taxes weigh heavily on ecig regulations. FDA may be instructed to keep vaping in line and prevent it from becoming a huge thorn in the side of tax receipts from BT.
