For how many years have you stocked up

[Bea-FL]

I've been following a couple of stocking up threads pretty closely and read about how much stuff different posters have amassed. When I started my Dark Ages stash I planned for 10-15 years because of my age. Consequently the amount of space all this stuff takes is not that much. Just 3 plastic containers and a shelf in my fridge and some space in the freezer. Oh, and a drawer for my daily stuff.

For how many years have you stocked up and how room is your stuff occupying?

I think I'm stocked for at least 15 years easy. Space isn't really an issue. I have a dozen or so Reo's, a box of bottom feed atty's and spare parts. My real space problem comes with all the nicotine! My freezer is half full of nic, I stored more in a friends extra freezer, I have two more liters in the mail right now. I'm going to buy a mini freezer chest soon. That and DIY, takes my space. My hall closet is filled with DIY supplies, but that's not stock up, just what ya need to make liquid.
Being in PA forced me to be ready by October 1st. After that it's 40% tax on anything I order

The start of my stockpiling would be when I bought a second liter of nic that I wouldn't need for several years. That was late 2015. My daily vape is simple. One atomizer, 2 different mods, DIY in one flavor. My settings never change. vaping is a hobby for me in two ways. I'm politically active for the sake of smokers who haven't switched yet and it's fascinating to figure out how to have a reliable stockpile for a significant number of years that doesn't cost much.

We'd have 30+ years of nicotine if I only made juice for me & Mrs. M
We're stocked for at least 30 years worth of mods/tanks/accessories.
We'll be vaping well into our 80's.

I'm retired so stocking for ourselves hurt the bank account.
Stocking for friends has been stressful.
I've ordered $hundreds$ for friends and had to wait to get paid back. Ouch.

I'll have to wait until the last minute to order more nic & a chest freezer.

Just started stocking up this year (started vaping last year) and have enough of everything except PG/VG for my wife and I for 20-30 years.

4l of broken down nic in the freezer and all of my mods and tanks (about 40 each), rebuilding supplies and spare parts (o-rings, glass, etc) and wire would likely fit in a bankers box or medium sized Tupperware storage container (not the nic, but everything else).

Right now? 10 to 15 years, depending on my nic level, which has been declining of late. Another liter or so in the next month or two and I'm good for close to 20? Hardware I have plenty of, and it appears I'll be able to still obtain that for the short term, so I'm satisfied I won't get caught short in my later years should I live so long.

I approximated I have enough nic base for around 16 years. I will be turning 64 this week, so... Unsure if there would be a point once I pass 80.

I have yet to assess if I feel I truly have enough hardware to last that long. I'm thinking I might want to add one or two more Reo Grands (I have only one thus far) along with plenty of spare parts. And really, I guess I should invest in at least a couple more BF atties.

As long as I have my faculties there will always be a point.

I am solid for the next 2 or 3 years, plenty of time in which to overthrow the FDA and return a modicum of intelligence to "the system."

3 liters of nicotine, 3 gallons of VG, 1 gallon of PG. Mainly for my dad, I can stop now if I wanted to. My dad isn't at that point yet. My dad and I just vape unflavored. Mod wise, I have a mod that doesn't break. I just have to worry about batteries in the future.

 

[WillyZee]

how many years? ... all of them

 

[bnrkwest]

I settled in for 20 yrs but I reduced my Nic so will be good for much longer

Nothing more than usual, 6mths to a year. I'm in Pa. And plan on winning that fight along with the fda. Maybe it'll take a few decades, like the change in helmet laws, but I'm not buying out of fear.

 

[Sewnmachine]

I have about 5 years worth. I don't build mods, and I've only just begun to dabble in DIY juice. So, my stockpile can only go the shelf life of my eGo batteries. Even under ideal storage conditions it's doubtful how viable they will be 5 years from now. But I'm going to continue to buy and store as long as I can still get them legally. I have about 10 years worth of juice, but it's the batteries that have me worried. Once the hammer finally comes down, I'll just work off of my stash. When my stash is gone, I'll either wean off nicotine completely or start vaping gas station cig-a-likes, or go back to real cigarettes. By then I'll be 70 years old. And ...... off.

I hoard.

Its just what I do.

I was raised by people who came through the Depression and taught me to buy it when ya can and ride it out when you can't.

An example of how I roll. In NY it takes 60 days to close on a house and I'm 30 days in. Never had a dishwasher before in my life but new place has one. I'm already well stocked with soap for it.

So I been hoarding vape stuff for a year and a half. I am also a collector and handle the juice making a building for several people. These people give me money so they don't have to worry and they don't. It takes up a good bit of space but I have a huge house. In the new house I am to have my own vape room. Its gonna be great.

Neither I nor my friends can be touched for a loooooong time if they pulled the plug today and packages are still coming in daily from China.

The only place I can be gotten is VG/PG. I use 4 gallons VG and one PG per year so I don't have 20 years of that. But I not worried about that either. But it is my Achilles heel.

My original goal was to stock up for 10 years.

But since I stopped using nicotine 7 months ago...
I am currently stocked until the end of time.
Or infinity, whichever comes first.

But since I do plan to start using nicotine again once I retire...
Yeah, 10 years, give or take my retirement age and the lifespan of nicotine...

 

[bnrkwest]

The way I look at it, is I love sales, so when you buy now you are just buying ahead for what you will use anyway and cheaper with all theses sales going on

I've stocked the nic. I have devices that are durable and I know how to work with the tanks for those devices.

The nic should last me about 20 years. Hopefully I won't need to make my own liquid but if I do, I am covered...as far as nic goes. I have stocked up some PG and VG. By most accounts, that should still be available indefinitely. Wire and wick, again by most accounts that should still be available indefinitely.

I will continue to purchase my favorite liquid until such a time as I can't because of the FDA.

So the longer it takes for the FDA to crack down, the longer my untouched nic should last

Well I had a stockpile going, but you know, squirrels.
