Well to be honest, I've only gotten around to fully organizing my spare tanks. I've still got packages of tank rebuilt kits for various tanks as well as a bunch of tanks still new in the box. And then their's all the mods packed away that are still good but no longer in the daily rotation. All that stuff is packed away but I've not gotten around to doing an inventory for it ... the stuff just lingers around in my head,

I got .... about the tank inventory when I broke one of my daily drivers and didn't have a spare for it. That's when I inventoried what I had on hand and then ordered a bunch for the different atty's we vape to make sure I had spares around.

Don't know how Hygenic it is but facial oil off your forehead or chin. Works really good. Got the idea from looking for the best thing to lube your trackball up. Very strange how well it works. Hopefully you have enough oil on your face.

That also works as a temporary fix for sticky mouse feet on your computer pointing device. Amazon also has replacement pads for computer mice that are peel and stick.

I find the PG/VG solution or a drop of unflavored juice to be my choice on syringe plungers. It's there when I need it. A drop goes a long way.

I thought everybody kept their gear organized and itemized. I store my spare tanks in small plastic containers, each container has a label, and well, keep an itemized list of what's in each box.

Try a DoggyStyle and it will make you think twice about favorite MTL tanks.

I have a stack of Kayfun 2,3,4, and 5 and I've been vaping nothing but the SXK DoggyStyle since it arrived from China last week. Its only drawback is its 2ml juice capacity, but it's easy to coil and easy to fill.

The very best oil (a liquid wax actually) is found in only three places on earth: sperm whale oil (banned), jojoba oil, and the oil from the crease next to the human nose. There are no good substitutes.

Just a few of the cabinets and drawers with a stash of vape gear and supplies around our house.

Good Gosh!!!!

Relax, you've only been hanging with us a couple-few weeks. Give it time, your stash will grow if you listen to us. :rolleyes:

My wife and I started vaping in Sep. 2011, so my stash has been accumulating for 7 years. I tend not to get rid of stuff (not a good trait according to my wife). I still have my 1st Joytech 510 stick batts too and the charger that could charge 10 batts at a time.

Actually, building takes less gear. Mini flush cutter, jeweler's screwdriver kit, and a spool or three of your choice of heating wire. Wick. That's about it, although like any hobby, there are lots of gizmos to (possibly) make it easier.

I have gizmos to wrap coils - I still build on a screwdriver. Varies by what I am building for and what wire, but I keep going back to my screwdrivers I learned on 5 years ago. 16 gauge blunt tip needle for kanger bottom coil attys. Even my thumb injury 1 year ago this past weekend hasn't stopped me! And now, 1 year later, I can do it easily again! Old habits die hard. Or don't die...

once you start building it becomes a whole different experience

you will get to know your atty's better

more flavor more vapor and that's when the fun will begin

what starts out simple can turn into a hobby then if you let it an obsession .

before you know it you will turn out like many of us .then you will settle into it and it reverts back to a hobby .

I lean more toward self reliance, and not being at the mercy of merchants and shipping.

And the FDA. Or trade wars with China.

500+ feet of my preferred wire, it will be a LONG time before I hit my last coil ;)

Enough nic on ice to keep me vaping at my 18mg level for about 20 years, so I'll need to consider getting some more when I'm about 90. Enough PG and VG to mix what I'll use for the next year or so, and those won't be under the FuDA's thumb anyway.
