Mike ... do you have/are using the 2ml Silverplay w/ air inserts. If so we need to talk. I've had some serious leaking and flooding with it. I think I have it figured out now but would be nice to 'chat' with another user of that tank. I really like the vape from it ... just wish it held more than 2ml. Strange deck/juice flow control setup.
I have silverplays the one I have setup isnt leaking but I am not using it because of its small capacity. It was an impulse buy and I didnt check that.

Yeah, I think the 'superior' attitude is b.s., not just with vape prepping. I've tried to convince people I know in person they need to prepare for the s**tstorm that's fixing to hit. Mostly I've been ignored. I feel bad for people that won't be ready, but as broke as I am, and I'm getting prepped, if they aren't working at it with warning, I guess they're sol. I can't afford to take care of my needs and theirs too.
I have some things I have bought I kinda regret and at this point I may have over bought. In the future if the need arises and I feel generous I may sell off some of my stock at a profit. Not my fault people didnt prepare.

Too late ... order placed earlier today ... with discount and points its came to $6.10 per box. :cool:



huh? One can have to many Zenith coils ... I've not heard of that. :rolleyes:

Yep, I'm still looking out for a smaller sized, external batt mod that accepts a 24mm atty. Even the popular Solo (which we have and it's become a fav around our house) is bigger than what I'm looking for.

edit: I don't know what the image.png is at the end of my post. I didn't try to attach any pictures.
Ha. I know what you mean about the Zenith coils. I think you guys have a lot more than I do, though with today's haul I think I'm up to 34 boxes now. Still will probably get more for insurance against the day when I might lose the ability to build my own coils.

Did you see my post in the other thread about the Colossal mod? It's small, solid and is big enough for the 24mm attys with no overhang. The finish is really nice, too, and it's easier on battery life than any other mod I have. My favorite mod, even ahead of the Solo, which I really like too. I have six Colossals, and several other members have about that many.

I'll PM you about the Silverplay to see if we can figure it out.

I have a Colassal. I like it but I really prefer the dual battery mods.

This is me. I have started comments elsewhere and then deleted them. Especially the “woe is me, but I won’t do anything to help myself” posts. DIY is not magic. Folks everywhere on forums are trying to convince others to try it. There are a million excuses.

BUT that being said. I do NOT judge those people who cannot afford to prep, cannot physically do it, do not yet know about what’s happening (not for one second do I expect people who work hard and raise their kids or TCB every day to stay on top of the ban garbage because, I mean, who’s got time for that? They were able to buy every day freely for years, and one day go to their local shop and BAM suddenly they find out).

You know who I’m talking about. I expect a true rush to boards in an actual state of panic if/when flavored eliquids - not even to mention, gear - is banned federally. I won’t sit back and feel smug, oh no. I’m always going to weep for the smokers who really want to quit and the bans step on their necks. I’ll be glad to help anyone who genuinely asks and has a genuine need. As for those who come scrambling afterwards, pshing and shushing preppers? Bye.

I agree. I feel awful for those who will never have the opportunity to try vaping, and those who don’t have the resources to stock up now.

Anything could happen, as it stands I doubt many devices will have the PMTA filed for them. And those that do may be denied much sooner than expected, days, weeks?

Or, who knows, crazy as the world is this could all be called off. But I believe it’s better to have and not need than need and not have. Plan for the worst, hope for the best.

I’ve warned all the vapers I know irl. They don’t want to hear it. They will not be ready. And I don’t plan on bailing them out - I just can’t afford to try to stash enough for everybody.

Yeah wish I could stock up like all of you that can. Just cant afford it. I do have 2 bottles of 54 strength nic, batts pg, vg, and coil replacements. I love my subvods I have 10 of them. 5 for back up that are old, and 5 new ones. I have the tanks. I just need to buy replacement coils and flavoring. I wish I can DIY flavor, I don't have equipment for that though. As long as Vapor4life continues to sell my coffee flavor and traditional tobacco flavor I'll be good. I also have a mini kbox, mod. I have 3 18560 batteries for that. I have the battery charger also. I have replacement glass and coil replacements for kbox mini also. Other then that I also have a smok mod Forgot what thats called. That's less then a year old.

My stock is barely adequate compared to most I've seen. DIY is really not hard if you want to try it, the equipment is minimal if you're mixing by weight. Scale, bottles, droppers, flavors, nicotine, pg, and vg. I know people reccomend a better scale, but a very cheap one I use works for me. I use one like this, if you look around you can find others. 500g x 0.01g Digital Jewelry Precision Scale w/ Piece Counting ACCT-500 .01 g US | eBay

I was just going to say Colossal. I know, everyone is shocked.

I use one cheap scale and a small funnel. That's all the equipment I need for diy.

Coming up with the recipes was hardest for me. The flavors I like best are from obscure Canadian vendors.

    I used to think some just weren't aware but I think in this day and age of social media, most know but choose not to believe. Because people in my rural area knew about it right away, even those who don't vape, I expect most know.

    I understand but just wanted to point out that you can get some flavorings and pg/vg for probably what you are paying for vendor juice and it will last you a long time. The most expensive part of diy is the nic. Lots of good sales around and likely to be many more.

    Got my 100 ml bottles today from amazon and they are just like heathers bottles. Love them. Thanks again @Haktuspit ! I do have the older style droppers from heather (I’ve had these bottles for years) but I think I’ll like these thinner tips for filling up my rtas.

    Maybe try to get one good squonk kit. Your stock is better than a lot of folks’. Again — I know I sound so judgmental here but I do not mean to; I am such a bleeding heart and these bans make so, SO angry — those of us who are stocking up like we are either have the luxury of doing so, or are making sacrifices so we can do so, because to a lot of us it literally is a matter of (ideally) living longer. I resent the he!! out of the fact we feel pressed to do this, instead of buying at our leisure and as things strike our fancy.

    It’s not the folks who have a financial choice to make who frustrate me. Perhaps I should be clear, and I do not mean ECF when I say this. I have seen many comments in other places where people know about the bans and immediately lament that they will go back to smoking because DIY is too hard for them. Not folks with something preventing them from DIY. Folks who build and have mods that require maintenance.

    To be honest, again, and on another note. I see people spending hundreds on pods and premade liquids. It breaks my heart. It truly does. I have a freezer full of stuff and every time I pick out a new flavor I think “one less.” I DIY and make good eliquid. But it is still “one less.” I do not think people are mentally geared to what an absolute lack of resources means. Sometimes I think about what would happen if suddenly our water resources were tainted or if the electrical grid went out. Well, I’d be dead in a couple weeks, no doubt. But that’s where my mind goes with this ban. Suddenly it will be all gone from the stores, and what is out there will be out there. Nicotine will be taxed to the sky. Then what.

    I’ll be vaping and praying folks aren’t accidentally blowing themselves up with Altoids mods and poisoning themselves with 1000mg nicotine.
