Are you done stocking up?

[Rossum]

I'm thinking about ordering some Nude Armor nicotine to stock, but haven't felt a need to be in big hurry yet. I have a feeling we'll see it coming before the focus goes to components of vape supplies like raw nic. I just have a feeling that prepared juice with flavors, and pods, along with more stringent age verification will happen first, rather than everything with one big hammer. But I've been wrong before.

Pretty much my entire stash is Nude Armor V1. It's pricey, but you can't beat the convenience of putting it straight in the freezer without having to mess with re-bottling it first, and I can vouch that it keeps very well. A couple of months ago, I mixed with some that was five years old and it was indistinguishable from fresh. That's what I'm vaping right now.

As for being in a hurry, I would wait for cooler weather. Exposure to summer heat in trucks can't possibly be good for it.

I suspect you're right. They'll go after the stuff the kiddies are buying first. But kiddies aren't dumb. If it becomes difficult for them to get their ready-to-vape stuff, some of them will figure out there's money to be made buying DIY supplies, mixing them, and supplying their friends. Once word that this is happening works its way back to the media, I expect they'll start agitating to "regulate" nic base too.

Yep- you were the one to pointed me to the Armor, and thanks for that! And part of my reason for ordering just my normal 1 year/150ml for now is because of your warning about the weather. So yeah, I'll probably wait until September for a larger Armor storage order, unless news looks sketchy. Then it'd be worth a couple of days of heat in those packages that'd go straight to the freezer!

What? No stockpiling these days? I know you folks are buying so fess up. I got 3 Luna's and a Spruzza.

Vape gear, not so much. Has to be something that has been on the market for years, selling a giveaway prices.

I am stocking up on plastic straws at the moment.

 

[Katdarling]

Ya moving to Kali, corn?

 

[Vape1048]

"Done stocking up"? That's funny! The way I see it, is that I will be done stocking up, when I have everything I want (that I can afford), then nothing else I want is ever made. So basically.... I'm never gonna be done stocking up!

Nic Base Storage: Freezer vs. Room Temp Experiment

Haha I've had to leave it there for a couple years after my departure from Tahoe. I offered to buy them a freezer but my mother is a lunatic about the power bill. I've already written it off as a loss. Plus side is he'll probably vape it for the rest of his life even if it had no nicotine left in it and think it was fine.

Glad you guys started posting about Nude Nicotine again, I was coming here to ask where you guys were finding the ready to freeze nic that I saw a week or two ago. Do you think they'll do a fourth of July sale?

Is a week in a truck in July really reason enough not to buy it? I don't really want to wait, things aren't looking that great in my opinion... then again the sky has been falling since I started vaping so I guess we'll see.

I think it will have plenty of nicotine left it it, however I suspect it will taste fairly awful.

I have no idea. Every day prices for V1 Armor (which I believe is the only one that comes in glass) are currently lower than when I was buying the stuff. But I have no regrets.

Personally, I would avoid that if at all possible.

Oh I doubt that will stop him lol. Thanks for all the info, guess I'll wait till the fall for the nic, depending on this court case and regulations and such. On to rebuildable tanks then...

I got an email that NN was having a sale. However, the code isn't good for the armor nic. Their standard nic is overpriced in my opinion even with the coupon. I can get good nic a couple other places every day cheaper.

 

[Fidola13]

The last 2 days made it painfully clear that I need to buy pre-made drop in coils for the future or when it’s just not happening with my hands.

I have terrible tremors a lot of the time. It’s a struggle. And it makes me nervous as to what’s going to happen in the future.

Frankly I’m surprised at how easy it is to buy nic and that I don’t have to show an ID and sign for it. I won’t be surprised in the least (but will be disappointed) if/when it’s more difficult for the layperson to obtain.

Exactly. I’m 56 now, but I won’t be forever. And even now at times it’s not easy.

I bought a Biip and like that, with those Plex3d coils, but I didn’t care for the tank they fit - Zenith I think. I may have to try the other one, zlide? Mtl isn’t really my bag though. I like the NRG and its coils but haven’t found them cheap yet.

Fortunately, I had started to stockpile GT Coils before I started to build. I have several Cascade Baby SE’s and more than I can need of NRG atties.

I haven’t priced them recently but at some point I ordered quite a few at FT If you find them at any discount please let me know!

The NRG coils are TFV8 Baby Beast compatible, meaning a large number of brands are potential candidates. As a result I've gotten a variety of compatible tanks - Eleaf Ello, Vaporesso NRG and Cascades, Wotofo Flows and Flow Pros. I've stocked up a bit on Wotofo Flow Pro coils and GT coils and keep an eye out for other TFV8 compatible coils that will work. Great flexibility for the stockpile!

No great deals today but many more options for the NRG coils, with closeouts beckoning in the future! When good mesh coils hit the clearance stage for about a buck a piece, I will pounce.

 

[stols001]

A woman's work is never done. My 8 Eleaf Invokes came I am happy to have them. All my favorite tanks have backups. This year I am doing a steady supply of coils for the two drop in coil tanks I use a lot. I have enough RTAs that I haven't even tried yet to keep me busy for a lifetime.

But, I would like 5 Nautilus 2s drip tips. Even my beloved Fasttech has failed me.While (even with the exchange rate) I found some in Ireland they were less than the tank itself but NOT by much. I really want them but not THAT much. Heh.

Gotta add some N2 0.7 ohm coils to the mix, because they are great.

The last nic I buy (probably 2-3 liters) is gonna be in glass just because. It can go at the bottom of my stash.

Flavors. I am not even thinking about flavors. That's a bit of a rabbit hole I gotta go down at some point and buy larger sizes for stuff I use a lot.

Outside of Nic, I no longer have a need.

 

[rosesense]

I think if anyone new comes to this thread, they might want to seriously stock up. Things are not looking good with the latest info about the FDA and such.

 

[Fidola13]

Well, I can confidently say I’ve have nicotine for my stash. I’ve got more mods and atties than I need. I do need to purchase more drop in coils for when I physically can’t build my own coils.

 

[hittman]

I’ve got about three liters of nic on hand but am thinking of getting more. I think I’m good on hardware and building supplies.

 

[stols001]

If you are thinking about buying nic, you probably need to buy nic.

Except maybe @Rossum and he STILL needs more for his mad scientist experiments. I think so anyway they are super helpful.

I am buying one or two more liters. I don't think I "need" them and I will wait a bit. But l am BUYING them. Then no more because my husband has been really nice about freezer space and I don't want to push him over the edge.

Of course, if he gets pissy I'mma gonna say "You do want me to prepare to live into my low 100s, right?"

That's a hard question to say not to as a spouse.

Because if he says "No" I will say "You're planning on cheating on me, aren't you." That is an instant argument winner. Really for either sex, but women have the edge. Actually no self respecting many would like, SAY that, but I definitely win.
