I bought a liter of nic, about 6 months ago. I use 24 mg. when I make my liquids. I started DIYing about the 2nd year into vaping, which in May will be 4 years. Totally off smoking, now since August not one drag. I mostly didn't smoke in these 4 years, the e-cigs really worked and still do. As I learned more about modding and rebuilding. I have no desire to smoke, because my satisfaction level is maintained consistently, and I am not having any close relations with smokers either (that was a sticky wicky with ex-boyfriend who tried vaping but never really caught on to it, like I did). So, due to DIY liquid, rebuidling I guess stockpiling has been a natural. I don't think 1 liter is enough liquid for more than 1 year, but it is nearly enough. I've thought of weaning my strength in nic downwards, but haven't as of yet. I think that will be the hurdle keeping enough nic. The batteries, I think thanks to flashlight technology won't be too hard to replace. The mods though, might wear out. I have not built a mod... ? Does anyone know how to make a mod out of something LOL? I am not suggesting dangerously, but could something common that we use for other purposes be rigged to perform as a mod? Ready for banning, no. I hate this and think that smokers/vapers are persecuted to the extent that we should revolt! It's enough to make me lose all interest in the world outside the door. If they ban everything but cig a likes, very possibly...... they will....... Then anyone seen using a homemade looking mod or something unusual will be a simple target for more persecution and worse, detainment, confiscation and police brutality. I am grateful to be the age I am now, where a Granny looking lady, doesn't usually draw to much attention to herself in the world anyway, but if I am seen toking on my iTaste with the trident on top.... after a ban goes into effect, some Nanny a hole might call the cops... who knows. So besides stockpiling, are we prepared for the Nazi like atmosphere of Nanny tyranny???
