I learned my lesson with reloading stuff. Primers and powder doubled in price overnight (if you could even find them). Never gonna get caught like that again.

Likewise! Pre-Y2K took care of any of my concerns re reloading/self-defense capability (and other stuphph)! Dat's not countin' Teflon Willie's ban on Chicom/US surplus ammo ban.

I'm treating da deeming da same way as above, not even counting being in 'cane country and appropriate preps. Fer our doubters/alarmist accusers, better to have and not need vs.not having and desperately need...

Now THAT sounds like a plan! :D
Okay, enough "talk"! You and Tutu just get yer butts up here already!!! We're only about 5 miles from Iditarod HQ and a half hour from Willow, where the "real" start is.

Here! Here!!! Couldn't agree more!

Oh ya, Howdy all!!! :D

I know I have enough hardware, but will continue to stock as I find deals. Yes, better to have and not need and if down the road I can help someone else, well, to me it is worth the investment. But that help will require proof/verification. I won't help blindly, I will need to know the help is justified. I have helped in the past to find the person just wanted to mooch. Ain't happenin again!

I'm still stockpiling -- mech squonkers and BF attys, mostly. I know I don't need anything more, but ... I just can't bear the thought of BT and FDA winning.

What's the thingier that you can build on and measure ohms? Not an ohm reader, but something to do with coils.

Well here is my new line up with the Lavabox I was waiting for in the middle. Latest the postman has ever been.

Are you thinking of the Coil Master 521? It's OK ... I picked one up last month on a good sale. I wouldn't pay going price for it. Yes it works, but it seems kind of 'cheap'. I though it was going to be more solid.

Also check out USA Ohm meters. Quality products ... although the units w/ comparable features to the 521 are quite pricey.

3D Fire Meter If you get one of these don't tell me ... I'd be quite jealous.

I would love to hear your thoughts once you try it. We all know taste is so subjective. I know I really like it but haven't gotten feedback from anyone else yet.

oops! On hold ... still missing 1 of the flavors. Thought we already had it but nope. Order placed. Now waiting.

Yes! That's it! Thank you. 'Cept now I'm going to US Ohm Meters to look because I'd rather pay once and be done with it. If I get the 3D Fire Meter, i won't tell. Maybe. :lol:

ETA: Choose a different one for me, Mike. That one's out of stock!

Nice Lineup you have there Legs. What is the design on the rings?
Skull and Crossbones. Didn't really care for it but it was the only ones that were wide and thick like I wanted. I've dropped these K5's quite a few times and the band seems to do it's job. Child safety you know. LOL

Another 10 bucks and you can get a blue or black 2x batt box. Here's the link to the blue one.

Fire Meter: Black (Select LED Color) <-- link says black, but it goes to the blue one

The Ω meter on the Fire Meters and even their basic Ω Meters are extremely accurate. They have some comparison specs on the website. And I think @Kaezziel has validated their accuracy with a high end DVM.

For Ohmmeters I love this coilmaster 521 tab. It checks the ohms plus you can pulse fire it to clean your coils works great. Plus it uses 1 18650 battery and comes with a recharge cable.

Second guessing is something that most of us are doing when it comes to stocking up and do you have enough...
Absolutely! And, it gets to where it's no longer about what is on your list to stock up on. Instead it's how you feel ATM because you're too tired to think about it anymore.
Last one that I saw is VE10 for 10% off I don't know if it's still valid.
I ordered too fast. So, I don't know if the code is still good. But, thanks anyway.
I know I have enough hardware, but will continue to stock as I find deals.
Other than some REO spare parts, I'm officially finished. IOW, I'll buy a little here and there as I get the urge and can afford to (or just can't resist). I wish I had the money to stock up on more stuff though. Hybrid 510 atties for my favorite stealth set up, cartos for carto-tanks, Aspire BVC coils and Aro II coils for my Billet Bridge and Sabot, and such.
I'm still stockpiling -- mech squonkers and BF attys, mostly. I know I don't need anything more, but ... I just can't bear the thought of BT and FDA winning.
I did finally get my REOs repaired. So, now I just need some spare parts.

I couldn't resist. With the last FT sale, I ordered a cute little side-by-side mech. It takes an 18350. That's tiny!

I still haven't decided if I really need one or not. I know I don't, of course. But, . . . .
