Are you done stocking up?

[Haktuspit]

Had a worst case scenario happen. Woke up to a strange chemical / electrical fire smell. Upon investigation found my e-cig like this. Went to throw the entire thing away, decided I should take batteries out, they wouldn't eject. Decided to check the fire trigger before tossing it and the thing was stuck down. So my very last hit of the night before I crawled into bed it got stuck, ran out of juice I assume, got too hot and the batteries freaked out.

Long story short I'll be taking batteries out before I leave the house or go to sleep with my new smok Mag kit. Only thing I'm happy about is that the batteries vented like they're supposed to instead of exploding.

Then some jerk threw a rock through my rear window at my new job. It's been a day to say the least.

Yes, a pain it is. I depended on my local vape shop for my nicotine, which I made my own ejuice with. Went last week and the place was totally empty. Flavor bans have a huge affect on vape shops. I thought no effing way. What now? Darnit, I'm going to have to buy online; where I know I'm going to pay at least triple. Ugh.

My last purchase of nicotine was 1000 mls back in 2018. There's a little moren 1/2 of that left. It's a good thing I can still get PG & VG, and even some flavorings online if I need or want to.

The Smok Mag is fraught with quality control issues. I gave up on them years ago after going through 3 in 18 months. In all 3 it was a switch issue. Fortunately, I didn't have a switch stick in the on position, like you. That would have been enough to turn me off of that mod immediately. The Prince RTA that comes with the kit is okay though. My recommendation to you is to use your current RTA and get a new mod. I'm partial to the Vaporesso Gen series. My OG Gen has been in my rotation for 5 years, and other than some chipped paint, it's no worse for wear. It's a dual 18650 200watt mod.

Thanks! I have a closet full of mods, maybe I'll try something different. This Smok Mag actually lasted me 10 years though, pretty impressive stuff. I'll be turning off devices or taking the batteries out before I go to bed or leave house from now on. Probably have some Vaporesso Gen stuff honestly.

 

[Haktuspit]

Didn't have any Vaporesso mods that were dual batt so I decided to open another Smok Mag kit and test my luck since I needed a new Prince tank anyways. DOA, fire switch doesn't do anything. Guess it's my new attty tester because it did read a coil fine. New Geek vape Aegis Legend is great though, really liking it.

500 mL in 7 years.. no idea what your strength is, but must be over 100mg/mL as my best guess. There's a river of n'tine that I used to buy from but they only sell by the gallon nowadays. Rough life in Sacramento to be a vape enthusiast.

You don't show what your location is in your new member info. If you show it, there may be people who could help you out with info regarding where to still get nic base.

I'm not trying to hide my location. I've spent more time than it's worth in attempt to find where I need to go to show my location. Been a long day and draining week. On a good note, I live in Sacramento. Sacramento, CA. This city won the title "ugliest people" not too long ago.

Thank you, brother.

Below is a link to a reputable US vendor who sells NicSelect unflavored nicotine base in various quantities, PG/VG ratios, and mg levels. NicSelect has a reputaton for being a very good nic base, too.

The highest mg level they sell in that particular type is 24mg, but it's better than not being able to find any well-known, good nic base for DIY eliquids at all. Quanties are available from 4oz - a gallon.

That liter has been my primary source of nic since I bought that bottle, but I have at times gone thru smaller bottles of ejuice, anywhere from 60 - 250 mls.. I mix down from that 100 mg/ml liter 25 mg/ml batches. I consume a ml or less a day. I've thought about making a small batch at 8 - 10 mg/ml and see if I consume more a day of that, and there is a chance that I will do that, but I'm content with the way things are at the moment
