Clearomizer shelf-life

[Navy20]

Foolish question to many however, as a new guy on the block I don 't know the answer.
Because of all the talk about banning e-cigs and preventing online sales, and importation of e-cig supplies across state lines and God only knows what else these damn politicians have up their sleeves, I have thought about stockpiling eliquids, blank cartridges and clearomizers. I know that eliquids would have a shelf-life and I don't feel qualified to make my own. Blank cartridges would or should not be a problem. Is there a shelf-life on clearomizers that have not been opened and/or used?
Am I panicking over nothing. Here is the bottom line . . . I liked to smoke but it was killing me and those around me. I switched to e-cigs and have given the analogs a kick to the curb. Been 9 months now and I feel so much better. Maybe even bought myself some extra time on earth. Bothers me that our elected leadership wants to dismantle this whole thing.

I can't see any reason why a clearomiser won't last forever, if you have replacement heads or know how to rebuild them.

I have over 20, most in storage for the Zombie Apocalypse.

I also have a growing collection of RBAs.

They won't stop me.

There is no shelf life on clearos, cartos or attys. Mixed juice with flavor is typically good for a year minimum. Nicotine in PG/VG with no flavor properly packaged and kept in the freezer should be good for years, but the nic will degrade slowly.

Personally I wouldn't hit the panic button just yet. I suspect we will still have time to buy stuff once we realize it's prudent to do so. OTOH, having a few months supply of things, plus backups for your backups is not a bad idea. Also, taking the time now to understand and dabble a bit in DIY juice (not hard to do) and rebuildable atomizers can't hurt.

Ryedan, don't mean to be a burden, but can you lead me to good source to learn about DIY?

I agree. No shelf life. Prepare for zombie apocalypse!

Never a burden. ^^^ Burnie beat me to it

Adding to the fear mongering . . . I think a couple solar battery chargers would be useful ... considering ...
Good luck at stocking up and being able to keep what's yours if the zombie apocalypse does it.
Blessings and Joy,
Bliss

I second the advice given to you by Ryedan and Burnie. It is exactly what I have been doing myself. Be prepared for the worst, hope for the best.

I've thought about stockpiling, but they call it the World Wide Web for a reason, places like fasttech ain't going anywhere, I should learn to DIY juice for a few reasons though..

I don't know about legislation issues, but Chinese New Year is fast approaching. That usually shuts down the parts market for a couple of months every year.
