the TP? Lol


Yes! It's one of life's little luxuries. I'm thinking of bringing a roll to work since I don't like the TP there. But I am not sure I want to be known as the guy who brings his own personal TP to work. That guy is a little off and security keeps an eye on him.

I never had "bad" experiences as such with local stores. The guys were gentle enough and i got to try a lot of flavors before buying. But my only problem was the limited options and the price. Stuff like juices are $25. Which on sale i can get it from eightvape for $10. vaporesso was something like $75 which goes for $59 online.

I've tried several gauge or different types of metal throughout the years.. I'm pretty set on SS 26gauge as my go-to now, so I've got several spools, some shorter, others at 250 feet. As it takes 6 inches or less for a coil, and that a coil is usually good for a while (I go with max of 3 cleanings, so a good month or more per coil, I'm good for years to come, even with the dozen or more tanks in rotation.

But for sure, next purchase, I'll stick with the larger spools...

I now use the NI and TI spools for hobbies or mending fences and other usages. :p

That's my blend! Quilted Northern doesn't fall apart drying the water from the Bidet.

Mine too. I cant imagine cleaning chocolate sauce with just paper. Water is for a happy mojo! :rickroll:

Amazon $24 bucks for 48 rolls. Lasts me a long time.


On Ebay i got 24s for 6 bucks Master of Clouds 100 feet. And Temco 30s (100 feet) and 26s (250 feet) for 12 bucks. 15% off if you buy two or more. So its like 19 bucks for 450 feet of SS 316Ls! I dont think local stores would sell that cheap!

@Vapefiend - Nope, you're not alone in buying things in quantity while you can get it, especially at a really good price.

In early 2014 I started loving the little Vision Nano disposable clearomizers on my JoyeTech 510 batteries and then on eGo 650 and 1100mAh batts. About that May, I started using the Innokin 16D clearos, too. I found out about 3-4 months later, that the little Nanos were being discontinued. They were very hard to find then for a decent price because most everyone was jacking up the cost. I lucked out and found a US vendor who still had 72 of them for less than $1 each and a Canadian supplier who had about 125 for the same price. I bought all from both of them.

About a year later I found the Innokin 16D clearos on clearance and bought 18 boxes of 5. Only thing I needed then was more of the coils for them, at a decent price, for my stash.

Luckily, 2 years ago, a US vendor had the Innokin 16B clearomizers (with the same coil my 16D clearos use) on clearance for $4.99/box of 5. I personally don't like the 16B clearos, but could use the coils from them. Saved me about $4-5 per 5 coils. So I jumped on most of them, too. Almost wiped him out, but I did leave a few boxes for other people.

I've used some of the Nanos to help newbies (mostly women) who wanted to start vaping with a cigalike 510 JoyeTech battery set-up. Several other newbies have liked starting with the 16B clearos with an eGo battery, so some of them went to them. The others...I figure when I'm even grayer, and my hands don't work very well, I can always pull out the Nanos, the 16D clearos, and the coils from the 16B...and I'll still be vaping. I won't have to worry about coil building, rewicking, etc. all the RBAs I've also got stashed.

Those are just a drop in the bucket of things I've found and bought in good-sized quantity. I give away some of anything I buy in quantity, to newbies switching to vaping. Some of it, I sell at fundraisers to help charitable organizations. Other stuff occupies space in my vape stash until needed. :thumbs:

Scratching my head. 400 ft would last me a heck of a long time.

I just ran the numbers and it would last me 30 years anyway if it was all I used. And that is with a generous waste allowance factored in :)

@Vapefiend, keep in mind this technology changes quite quickly and in a few years even vaping wires might be a thing of the past. This is one reason I try to not buy a lifetime supply of anything I think is right now giving me the best vape I could ever imagine.

Back on topic, back in 2012 bought the last ten good CE4's my local vape supplier had in stock because they were getting scarce. I ended up tossing the last six of them a few years ago because my vapeocalypse box was full and I needed the space for a few newer and better items I used to think were great but I didn't vape anymore :rolleyes:

I hear ya HM ... OTOH though, think of all the other shenanigans you could get into while they're watching the TP :banana:

I do understand what you’re saying. I’m just so content with my vape that I couldn’t imagine changing to anything else no matter how much better it could be.
