Ok... I think I decided to transfer most of my 100mg nicotine to glass bottles for long term storage. I was on the fence due to thinking newer plastic does not leech, I am clumsy and was worried about breaking them, and I did not want to break their seals and risk contamination... but 20+ years in storage, who knows what might happen to the plastic? It could get brittle I suppose. And someone else mentioned that it is possible that over time, some oxygen could permeate the plastic.

I am thinking I will bottle anything that will be in the freezer for more than 3 years (probably 10 bottles). Amazon sells bubble wrap, so I'll just wrap them good. When I finally get to the glass bottles and pull one out to use, I will just transfer that individual bottle to plastic to avoid breakage.

A few of you posted a few places with good deals on amber glass bottles, but the links are buried somewhere deep in this thread and I cannot find them... I am looking for 1 liter amber glass bottles with caps that can be purchased individually (I will need 10 total, unless a case of 12 is cheaper). Would you guys mind posting the links again for me?

Thanks!

    Within 2 hours of my phone call, I received a most pleasant e mail from KangerWholesaleUSA.

    A new packager accidentally misread my order for 13 coils instead of 13 packs. One of those 3 packs had 2 coils missing, so yea, that would be 13 coils........

    Matt was cordial over the phone and his e mail was just as cordial........they will be sending me 11 boxes rather than the 10 that were missing.

    Ain't that sweet?! :)

    I just love the fact that the response time was quick and the customer service was excellent!

    Do those from fasttech work with the EhPro Kayfun V2 Lite+ CLONE?

    I got a Kayfil lookalike from FT and it didn't work on the EhPro. It was too large to fit in the chimney. I got one from C de V after that and it worked.

    Edit - I think there were more than one on FT. I couldn't figure out if there was a difference so I picked one at random.

    I figured up the Zenith coils I have 6.5 yrs, but I think I have more on route. I think I'm set LOL!

    I keep ordering a couple more boxes whenever I order anything else. Perhaps I'll reach your level at some point, maybe not! I used some reward points to get a z-biip from eliquid.com. It's pretty neat! Not small like the Minifit, and it's heavy, but a good vape. Unfortunately it's got an internal battery so limited lifespan.

    You would be better off splitting those liters into smaller glass bottles.
    E.g.: 8-oz (4 per liter):

    Glass Bottle Outlet - The Widest Selection of Glass Bottles is also worth looking at.

    My ebay KFL+ v2's just arrived. At $30 a piece I'm fairly sure they are clones, and expected as much when I placed the order. Although could just as well be old stock based on the seller's other listings that specifically label clones and these weren't. Can't complain though, as the quality is very good. Everything fits tight, threads are smooth, etc. Seller also shipped same day (Saturday) and they got here today. Overall happy with the value received. I now feel drought tolerant on the nic and RTA front. 3 Aegis Solos coming tomorrow will complete the collection. I'll probably keep buying nic in smaller quantities to further insulate myself against moochers, but otherwise feeling pretty good about what I have on hand at the moment.

    Since my old iSticks are still working great I no longer worry about internal batteries.:)

    Those are really good prices for the kanger coils - even better than Fasttech. These are authentic for sure? Great find if so!!

    That's good to know! I have avoided internal battery mods since I stopped using Egos. I'd like to save the z-biip for later on, but worry about the internal battery giving up before I even use it.

    I bought the innokin coolfire d22 kit last November-ish. I used it almost exclusively for 3 months before it died. A charge would last 15 minutes or so. It's in my rubbish pile. I also have a aspire zelo that didn't have a great life span. A few months. I have some i-stick rims I'm using and they are lasting. About 3 months old and still working/performing at peak performance. I'm not buying any more internal batteries since they will be tossed/or shelved. I don't think I can replace a battery on a internal one. However, I will keep in case of a complete ban and someone may need to play.

    I would wind up with 40 bubble wrapped bottles... figuring 1 liter is easy/less space... a liter lasts my wife and I 14 months, I have 13.5 liters.. so I plan on cutting down our mg in half over the next 7-8 years so we have a lifetime supply. I am borrowing freezer space from my brother-in-law for 4L in case my house burns down or the fridge gets sucked up in a hurricane. But 40 bottles would take up a lot more space with the bubble wrap... My wife is allowing me 1 shelf on our side by side and I do not want to impose any more than I already have with my brother-in-law as it started out with just 4 plastic bottles and now has migrated to more space due to 4 glass bottles with bubble wrap.

    Thanks for the links!
