Yeah, love the Picos. I've got 2 Pico minis that I use daily and 4 spares for the apocalypse. 18650 batteries won't be a problem. I've 237 cartomizers and a dozen DCT 2 tanks, 39 120lm bottles of nic juice in the freezer and plan on buying more. If all sales come to a halt, I'll be good for 5 years. Then, after 15 years of vaping and at the age of 76, heck I guess I'll just start smoking again. Or quit cold turkey.
There is still time to stash more :) I have a stash of cartos and DCT tanks too among my other gear. I am set until I am 100 LOL

Once the rest of my orders arrive, I am going to finish taking pics of everything and then start using my built in batt mods exclusively and store the rest except my muddy girl Radius. I really want to see how long she lasts. I have used that one everyday for 3 yrs.

On the other end of the spectrum, inexpensive but robust mods like the Digiflavor Helix. At $20 each, after giving it a road test I decided to stock up.

Ejuices.com had those in early November for $8.50 each, even before a discount code was applied. Then another site had them even further reduced to $6+change. I hope you were able to get some of those before they sold out.

ETA: IIRC, there is another site that currently has them for less than $10. I'll go check and will PM you if they still have them.

I wonder how many mods do I need for the next 40 years? I don't plan on dying soon.
There's no set answer. Depends on the type of mods, how careful you are with them, and whether you have spare parts available (and the skills to install those spare parts).

If push came to shove, I could make a mod myself. A mod us nothing more than a source of low voltage electricity, a switch, and some means to connect it to an atomizer.

In fact, I would suggest you worry more about atties than mods. Atties require lots of precision-machined bits, which makes them much more difficult for a cottage industry to DIY in their basements or garages.

They're available at the moment, but at $20. I would definitely like to save a few dollars, but shipping costs are part of the equation.
Judging from the prices you've cited, they were being used as promotional items at the time. No wonder they sold out.

Every independent cigarette/lottery shops in my area (and we have many) all have a vape section, some have a separate room. It's all rebranded Aspire and Kanger stuff and it's WAAAAAAAAY too expensive.

Even if they were reasonably priced, I could never buy from them. They let customers smoke in the store and I JUST.CANT.STAND cigarette smoke anymore.

I was in Ocean City a couple of years back and for some reason vape got hooked up with tattoo. I haven't seen vape / tattoo shops anywhere else though so maybe it's just an Ocean City thing.

One of my goals in retirement is to visit places with eagle nests. One of the most beautiful nests I watch is at big bear lake in California. The view is gorgeous. Another that I love is the trio nest in Illinois. Two dads and one mom. Very unique family. They don’t have babies yet. The one with a current baby is the south west Florida eagle cam. There were more in California last breeding season but I can’t remember the locations but they were nestled in the mountains next to the ocean. Duke farms in New Jersey I believe is another I watched. I have googled before all the nests with cams but I don’t have enough time to keep up with them all or I’d never get any chores done. I fell hard for eagles about this time last year and my dad loves to ask me about them. I showed him the swfl baby today. So cute! Alaska would be a GREAT trip!
This is from my area... It's live, you can change cameras to check out the new hatchling, there is still one egg left to hatch: Eagle Cam

The white house has said that the US Fed Govt may have no jurisdiction over "vape shops" because they are 18/21+ establishments, kinda like a bar. But this does not mean they will not be heavily regulated. So they may be able to stay open and sell any flavors.

The problem is the nicotine. Nicotine = tobacco to the govt.

But online vape shops? I doubt they will survive, even with age checking apps.

Who knows?

Right...

STOCK UP!
As far as I know, the "White House" didn't say that... it was Kellyanne Conway and I think she is a bit dim... not the sharpest tool in the shed. I think she was repeating something that someone without knowledge blabbered out in a meeting just as an uneducated idea... Because the FDA would still have jurisdiction over an "adult only" shop. Laws could possibly be made for that, but it would have nothing to do with the FDA, the FDA would "Trump" any law on the books.

I have not counted my mods lately LOL But I think a mod lasting 2-3 yrs is not unreasonable depending on the mod. I do have a variety that take a variety of batt sizes. I'd say a few mech's with safety chips is also good. So for 40 yrs minimum would be 20, maximum sky is the limit :)
I planned on my mods only lasting 6 months to a year depending on what I thought the quality was, just to be over-safe... lol Aside from wear and tear, defects, etc: In case I get Alzheimers and lose/break them constantly.

So what's the list of tanks that can use the EXO-S RBA without any modifications whatsoever?

I know for sure:
  • iJoy EXO RTA (obviously)
  • Vaporesso SKRR Tank
  • Geekvape NRG Tank
Any other tanks?
It's Geekvape Cerberus and Vaporesso NRG (but not the NRG SE)
