This has been mentioned before. FT sells generic round Orings in all sorts of diameters. They work on nearly all my atomizers. I got a bunch of the sizes. My gripe with modern mods is size. They tend to be portly so harder to pocket carry. My favorite formfactors are the vtc mini and pico even though the vtc battery door is a flaw and the fire button and screen on the pico are flawed. I have a Pico X and might get another if the price is right.

Stockpiling has been part of the hobby for 4 years. I could stop at any time, only buying toys now. It's ironic theres a new stockpiling agenda. I'm a whole food, low carb, fitness guy (thanks to stopping smoking). Freezer is full of beef and salmon, may be a 40 day supply. That covers one meal. The other meal is a big salad with olive oil and avecado. I think I can stretch the veggies out to 12 days. i'll be food shopping no matter what happens. I'm going to buy some extra olive oil and a bucket of peanut butter just in case. I can also stretch the food supply by cutting back exercise which is 1100 to 1300 calories a day.

Consider wearing protective gloves when virus contamination is a concern then wash the gloves on your hands frequently instead of bare hands.

Off topic, but I just saw on the news a report that 1 out of the nearly 1000 people that have the coronavirus in the USA is a vaper. The reporter was going off about how this is a major concern for all vapers! No mention if it was nicotine or the illicit cousin of CBD, and no mention of how many were smokers.
Now they are using the coronavirus to beat at us, as if we don't have enough problems with our vaping future!

You can't believe anything you hear on mainstream media news anymore. They are fake news.

What's almost certainly true is any smoker who starts vaping, smokes less or switches, will have improved lung function. We've all had that experience. When I started vaping my daily cigs went from 25 to 5 with no effort. I dual used for 6 weeks but my 40 year old cough was gone within a week. A lung exam and xray last may found everything A ok. Lucky me.

If I didn't have my 3 Armor Prime mods I'd get that one, but I'm spoiled - I like 2x700 batteries and the little battery level indicator is handy (on my mech squonkers I've been known to vape them down to 3.2 or so, it's nice that the AP LED goes to yellow at 3.6).

I really should think about tossing my kanger stash up on the classies, though with how little interest the Vaporesso kit had maybe I'll hold off until after May.

I have a feeling those classies are going to get a LOT more interest after May. :D

1 in 1000 is 0.1%
What percentage of people in the US vape?

Gallup said 8% What Percentage of Americans Vape?

Wouldn't that be interesting if Vapers got sick less than non-vapers?

    Been thinking all day, have you guys noticed that we haven't heard a peep about the lung illness since the whole corona virus came into play? Like I can't even find a current death tracker on a Google search, the most recent one was January at 59 deaths. The CDCs last update was 2/18/20 at 68 deaths. Are you news watching folks seeing anything about this anymore or did they just let the story die out?

    So, to put a 'media spin' on that:
    That means that 99.9% of the people who got the virus do not vape. But only 0.1% of them do vape- the gov't should be handing out free vape supplies, forget the masks! :lol:

    Have you checked into PB2 instead of regular peanut butter? Much better shelf life and MUCH lower in nasty fats. Sounds like you and I are eating in similar ways these days. Though I am overall calorically lower.

    Which battery door problem are you referring to on the VTC Minis? I have had a magnet fall out of mine which I was easily able to glue back in. It is still going strong years later.

    I haven't had a problem with my Pico squeezes yet but I haven't had them long.

    Still on a search for a non bottom fire, non hybrid 20700 or 21700 metal mech. I can find squonkers that fit the bill but most are plastic. I have several of those. Looking for one decent metal one squonk or not.

    I just looked at PB2 and now I'm curious about trying it:lol:
