I bought one of those rolling carts with drawers and a door to store vaping gear. That also serves as a building and recharging station and sits quietly in a corner of my bedroom. But I also keep liquids (base and flavors to build and premade ones) in a large box in a closet because it doesn't fit. The rolling cart has been a brilliant solution! I also have "vape stations" a box with mods, attys and liquid by my side in the living room and my bedside. So I easily lose track of things, putting them down and when a new tank arrives the older gets forgotten... And so goes on!
You know the rules. Pictures! I wanna see how big this cart is.

I have one atty only, a narda clone. I also have a templar that I tried to run in single coil but didnt like so much.

I need more rdas for my squonkers. Have ordered an entheon clone, a narca clone and two wasps.

I seem to prefer single coil.

I loved the entheon clone so much I bought a second. I have a naRda and narca clone as well but haven’t gotten around to trying them out I’m so happy with the entheon. Hope you enjoy them.

You're fine. THIS is too many (not mine - picture "borrowed" from another forum), and the owner said this is about 60% of the total:

I have far fewer - maybe 30 RDAs, several RDTAs, and a few subohm tanks. The attys currently being used are BF or drippers.
Crazy Chef?

I've been fairly good, I did get enough that should anything happen with the laws and being able to purchase become a problem, that I have enough backups to last for all three of us that vape at home for the rest of our lives.

I have many that are simply stored away for such rainy day, and have about 8 mods/RTAs on the go, a few more mods with a few of my RDAs. Both my wife and daughter also have several on the go.

I just try to buy what I would consider "keepers" and am very selective about everything I buy and won't buy the several variation of the same type of tank/RDA, I look for interesting designs that would be the better ones to give the best vaping experience.

I've also given a few kits away to help others out.

I started buying RDAs long before I started building coils. I bought them just in case. But, I really didn't intend to rebuild unless I absolutely had to.

Fast forward to a period of frustration with QC. I got desparate enough with what was out there that I decided to rebuild by choice instead of only in case of vapocalypse.

I'm not good at it. I don't like doing it. But, I like being able to control the quality of my vape. Although, quite honestly if the CLR coils had been around back then, I would have settled on those and never started rebuilding.

I've got LOTS of RBAs. Not sure how many. But, I think you've inspired me to start packing some of them away for vapocalypse only.

I have a number of Kayfuns of various models from the old KF2 Lite, the 3.1, 4, 5, and the Kayfun mini. I'm usually vaping a Kayfun Lite V2. It just works and works and it's easy to coil and wick.

Most of my other must have attys are backups for the FDA Apocalypse. Shinyitis made me buy them. I vape the Ares, Beserker, and Siren V2 here and there. I think 24mm mini tanks are great. They aren't too tall and they don't hang over but a mm on each side with a 22mm mod. They hold about the same juice as a full height mod, and they make pocket carry even easier.

I tend to be quite picky about my choices, but a while ago I vaped only MTL and the more "modern" stuff made me cough. So I started buying a couple of things to see if I could go over the transition. Some things are still too airy for me, but yet my tolerance has increased enormously. Same as two coils. I build 2 or 3 coils but sometimes I find it too hot for my taste. But still I use them, and my tolerance rises. @DancingHeretik do you remember the tootle puffer thread? :lol:

Yup, the KFL is my main Vapocalypse tank. I've got so many KFLs, spare tanks, and spare hardware that I need to pack some away.

Shinyitis made you do it, huh? I know the feeling.

I'm a little slow to try new things. But, I've fallen in love with the Berserker.

I hope I don't start to like the modern, airy stuff. I've based my whole stash on MTL vaping and given away anything too airy. Besides, I have enough nic to last a lifetime, as long as I stick to the low volumes of juice needed for MTL.

One of the main things I do is that any tank that I do like and want to keep, is buy a few spare glass as that would be the main part that would require replacement, as most tanks after couple of years are retired/discontinued and replacements do get rarer if not impossible with time. Right now, I don't believe that I have a single tank that I don't have at least the original spare that most comes with them, but at least 2-3 more.

The thing is, I've never broken a single glass while using them (I've only ever broken one, and that was because I was cleaning the tank and the glass was so stuck to the seal that it simply snapped as I was trying to pull in out (yes, turning as gently as possible but it was absolutely stuck))... but I'd rather not chance it... it just would be too sad to have to ditch a tank in a few years because I couldn't get a replacement tank, should I have bad luck.

I would think if you got into the more airy stuff, you'd use less nicotine, right? I have a couple tanks where I use less nic in them because they are so "thirsty." I bet you anything it might even out in the wash. :)

I had never broken a tank. Then I broke 2 in one week!

Probably so.

But, so far it's MTL all the way.
