Are you done stocking up?

[Slots]

Well, lost out on that one
In the short sale I posted, I stalled around, and my "to be" Instant Pot went from $64 back up to $99.
Called granddaughter for support on purchasing, and she informed me I didn't need it.
I knew that, ....just needed verification
Saved me from the "shiny", or "too good to pass up" spell I was under.

And although we’re always on about nic storage, and true it does stay fresh longer bottled and frozen, it keeps for quite some time in a cool dark place, too. It’s not like meat, which thaws and spoils if the freezer breaks.

Agreed. I've got nic down in Florida that's been through two week+ power outages after Matthew and Irma. It doesn't seem to be much worse for the wear and I'm pretty fussy about my nic.

I’ve seen nothing that makes me think it ever spoils, but it can get too peppery tasting to vape.

I'm not sure that "peppery" is how I'd describe it. I like pepper just fine, but I don't like oxidized nic much at all.

 

[Rossum]

It's not like it goes "bad" as in harmful. Yeah, it would taste a bit nasty. I have some that was stored room temp for a few years, and it's oxidized pretty bad. But the more you dilute it, the less you taste it. And in something like a RY4 I don't mind it. Given the choice between oxidized nic and overtaxed, overpriced nic, I'll vape it. After all, we used to smoke cigarettes!

Yeah, you can probably over-power it with flavorings. But some of us vape unflavored (mostly) or some very light fruit when using flavors. This makes us (or at least me) averse to oxidized nic.

Black peppery feeling is exactly how I describe that burning, stinging nic feeling. It's like eating a teaspoon of black pepper without the black pepper flavor.

I always get that when I vape right after a meal, any meal (but not small snacks). (BTW: I don't eat black pepper b/c it bothers me tummy, so that's not it). It doesn't last long after a drag, just a couple seconds and it only happens for a few drags then it's gone.

That was one thing that took me a while (probably a year) to get over psychologically when I first started seriously vaping. I had no intention of going back to cigs, but I really wanted badly to get rid of that black pepper feeling. Now, I just deal with it. I still hate it, but I don't really care that much anymore. I guess I was mostly concerned with something being wrong.

Nicotine salts have the benefit of being less peppery than freebase nicotine. The trade off is a lack of throat hit, that and because they are newer than freebase, some worry about the long-term effects. They still get skunky when they oxidize though.

I never even think about using nic salts at this point because there's a lot of conflicting info about it. For instance, you say it has less TH but I have read so many posts and articles about NS being better if you want a good TH.

Plus, it being new, like you said, tells me to forget about it for a while at least. I'll just stick to my freebase...I'm more worried about the "protectors" in the govt screwing with my freedom to choose to be a e-smoker.

Eightvape has the black Vaporesso nrg tank for $10 (another Tank compatible with Cerberus, Hellbeast,... heads), and GV Athena squonk bottles are down to a dime each (a nicely built, 18 x 46mm, 6.5ml, general purpose squonk bottle, that fits multiple squonkers).

If you get a tank, add a Mojo disposable ecig, it'll zero out in your cart (free for total order > $8).

Nrg tank, 6 squonk bottles and a Mojo came in under $15 shipped.

Come next May I'll open Markfm's Squonk Bottle Shoppe, looking forward to brisk sales [emoji3]

MFS sent out an email apologizing for yesterday's checkout fiascos. They extended their coil sale to this Friday so if you still want to get some cheap coils use 40COILSMFS anytime through Friday.

They also replied to my email saying the temp charge would remove itself and it's already gone.

I'm using nicotine salts right now. I can only give my personal experience with them, but using them at the same strength as freebase nicotine, they have less throat hit. I'm worried about the government 'protecting' me by taking away my options with e-cigarettes also, very worried.

Excellent, your my hero. 20 bottles ordered $3.04 with shipping. That was a deal I couldn't wait on.

Edit: I ordered 2, dropped the zero. Dangit.

It's not just the auto draw that I want, it's the auto draw with...

• the same tubular shape as a cigar or cigarette
  
• at least as light as a 650mah eGo with clearo and
  
• has a tip that allows me to hold in my teeth (because let's face it, asking for an e-cig that you can hold in your lip is a lot to ask so we have to settle for the teeth).

Other than it not being an auto draw, sounds like you'd do well with an eCab. It's smaller than a cigar and larger than a cig. It has a changeable atomizer, rechargeable battery, and a plastic tank.There used to be an eRoll that was auto draw (and had a portable charging case), I don't know why they're hard to find now.

These are the only 3 places that I found the eCab in stock......

JoyeTech eCab Starter Kit

JOYE eCab Starter Kit - $38.00 : Rocky Mountain Vapor, The Mountain top of Electronic Cigarettes code turkey for 30% off.

Joyetech eCab Starter Kit

I know of 2 lightweight pod kits with PCC's, but they are more flat instead of round, but you can hold em in you LIPS. If you want info on em, let me know.

Thanks, but all that stuff has buttons and also hard to find parts for anymore. Also, the Eroll has been reintroduced as an auto draw called the Eroll MAC, which I may try someday.

It has a very low 1.5 resistance coil so I hear it vapes pretty good for a cigalike. Can also get it with a PCC. But knowing Joyetech it will be on the market for less than a year then they'll pull it.

BTW: I just happened across a auto draw, refillable pod system that is actually the form factor of a cigar and could possibly be held in the teeth. I'll have to check out some reviews on it and might buy it at a later date. It's on preorder now. Refillable pods are available in 1.4 and 1.8 ohm.

I just thought I'd share with y'all this RBA I found. If you have aspire BVC or BDC clearos, you can turn them into RTAs with this Hippovape VSS RBA. This will make your Aspire BVC/BDC clearos vapacolypse ready as well as cheaper to use. I may buy one to see what it's like then buy a few more later when I can. (Gotta buy that nic first, though lol).

Looks simple to build, in theory, because of the Subtank RBA style deck & trap screws, but it's obviously MUCH smaller.

According to the measurements on 3Fvape, it's exactly the same of an Aspire BVC coil so it'll be a tiny build but probably much easier than trying to rebuild the factory BVC coils. A vertical coil would be a bit more challenging, of course.

Available at 3FVape and 2FDeal
I think I also saw some UK and EU sellers on Google results.

What I need is a cheaper source for these: DA ONE SQUONK BF SILICONE BOTTLE 5.5ML | Vapor42 Will your shop be carrying those? lol

Since it'll work in the Aspire Spryte...which takes the 1.2 and 1.8ohm BVC coils....I may have to get 1 or 2 for my K1 and K2 clearos, as well as the BDC and ET-S older ones.

You certainly cannot argue with that price. I almost want to get some just out of principle, even though I have enough nautilus coils for the wife and I to last a lifetime, as well as coils for 2 different other tanks, plus like 1,200 premade coils plus wire for my RDAs/RTAs.

These aren't for the Nautilus or Nautilus Mini tanks. These BVC coils and this VSS RBA are used on the smaller Aspire clearos that came out before the Nautilus, like the CE5-S, Vivi, ET, ET-S, Maxi, etc.

These are the non-Nautilus BVC coils....

These are some of the clearos that use it...

...and any other device that takes the Aspire non-Nautilus BVC coils.

Thanks for pointing that out!! I have the Triton mini, it uses the same coils as the Nautilus mini. I just saw "aspire BVC" and thought they were the ones. Plus, in the first pic you posted of the RBA it shows threads on the top part/chimney, but now I realize they have that pictured upside down (for screwing into the atty, not the tank).

I think I have like at least a few of 2 different ones of the tanks you posted in a bag of parts somewhere, but I am used to getting a stronger hit off the Triton minis now, so I probably would not be happy with it.

 

[Myrany]

I actually have some of the CE5-S tanks tucked away somewhere. They are what I went to when I gave up on the Ego-C tank system LONG ago. I used to rebuild the heads on them LOL.

What I am curious about. The SXK BB comes with a Nautilus bridge. Now I have never dealt with any of the Nautilus stuff. What coils does that bridge take?
