I was raised by my grandmother. She came to adulthood as the Depression hit. I believe in being prepared.

I doubt I'll need to stock up for the rest of my life. I'm hoping that this all plays out and blows over eventually. It may take several years though.

But, the thought of it not blowing over, the thought of my running out of stuff and not having a choice anymore, gives me such anxiety that I just have to stock up enough to last the rest of my life. Otherwise, I get scared and panicky.

So, although I probably won't need all of it, I'm stocking enough for about 25 years, which is about 10 years longer than I'm guessing I'll live.

If I were to advise someone that's not so paranoid, I'ld suggest 10 years. It BETTER blow over by then!

1 Kayfun Nano I haven't tried yet. The Nano only has one airhole. So, I can't look through to see if it needs adjusting or not.

Most of mine are like that. I eyeball what 1/2 would be on the bottom of the kayfun, then I take a large sewing needle to check and see if the air hole feels the same all around, at that 1/2 way point, and adjust til they do. You can 'feel' the change, from the pin to the kayfun, with the needle tip. :)

Good idea!

Bad news.

Wait!

My syringe needle didn't go nearly far enough in. So, I grabbed a skinny little paperclip. It seems to go far enough in. I think the Nano is lined up!

    For PG and VG, I think Essential Depot is having a sale. Not sure. They have sales a lot, and a lot of people use them. But, they sell by the gallon. If you want to start on a smaller scale, even Amazon has PG and VG. Or, you can just pick it all up from RTS.

    RTS has all the measuring supplies and bottling supplies. Not sure how their prices are on those. That's not where I bought mine.

    You need to do some reading in the DIY forum to learn how to handle nicotine and re-bottle and store it. Plus, of course, the recipes and suggestions.

    But, don't wait to buy the nic. Above all, have that bought and stashed ASAP.

    When I lived in the San Francisco area I dated a lady that told me if you want to impress a lady take her out for a cappuccino. If you don't want to date her anymore then get her an espresso. She didn't see the humor when we stopped for coffee after a date and I got her an espresso.

    Oh, not good. I am sure they will do you good when you talk to them.


    If that is your story, stick to it.

    Hi Korie, welcome to the front porch. Pick a chair, your favorite drink and vape and kick back and relax.

    Fireworks are also illegal in Oklahoma City, but they are being used in my neighborhood. Luckily we are not in a drought or under a burn ban.
    Well I found out they are legal here from Friday till Monday and the people around here must spend at least $1000 or more. They have stuff like you see at a display. Nothing like a bunch of rednecks with fireworks. We are having 30mph winds today so if any fire got started it would be a disaster. We just went through a week and a half of really high temps so everything is like a tinder box. Haven't really had any rain in over a month and it is supposed to get cooler which is the reason for the winds.

    Sheesh I wonder if I can take a loan out and use that stuff for caladeral don't know how to spell that. I am really expecting this state to do something crazy they took the first step and it is going to be law by Oct. Next will be tax and banning plus who knows who will go to the hassle of getting licenses in Oct.

    I get nic from My Freedom Smokes in 100mg/ml liters when they have it on sale. You can get also get nic, pg/vg there, or Wizard Labs, RTS Vapes, or Ecig Express. I get flavoring from any of those plus Bill City Vape. I just made a big order of large sizes from BCV with their July2016 coupon. 20% off I yhink it was.

    Well geez, the deeming has 'checked' my shinyitis. We've got like 20 KFL nanos & lites, 9 Kfv4s, & miscl others. Plus I've stocked up on spare tanks & parts for them. I'm staying away from the Kfv5 because I don't want to be getting multiples plus parts for yet another topper. The V4 works fine for me so why branch out.

    Now I think I need more. You're the practical, cheap one. If YOU have more, I MUST need more.
    Last month I got a PIF of enough parts to double+ my collection. Dont feel obligated to compete. ;)

    Thinking back to when/where I got my first DIY stuff brings back some memories.

    I bought my first nic from Gourmet Vapor in early 2011. When they stopped selling nic, they recommended My Freedom Smokes. So, that's where I bought for a while. Then I did some research and branched out. Early on, I bought most of my flavors and measuring supplies from OSDIYS.

    Seems like another lifetime.

    You're just not as paranoid as I am!

    Now I think I need more. You're the practical, cheap one. If YOU have more, I MUST need more.
    I got pg/vg in quarts from Essential Depot on Amazon. I got syringes theren too.

    OK. Say you didn't spend your own money. That's a relief. As practical as you are with your money, I was worried maybe you knew something I didn't.

    All better now.

    Kayfuns aren't all I have, those are just the tanks I chose. I have 5 Magma rda's, 1 Igo-L, 1 Prometey, 2 full size Nautilus & 2 Mini's, & 4 Aspire K1's. For mods I have 5 Hex Ohms, 5 Isticks, & one REO, & 2 Stingray tubes. Most of this is vapocolypse stashed. Still a few things I want to get, but the anxiety is easing up.

    If you have dual airholes on the sides of the base you can just look in one side & see a round light where the other hole is. If the light is just a slit or oval, youre airflow isn't wide open. And the grub screws have to be unscrewed so they don't block the view.

    Stick the paper clip in, & mark the depth with your thimbnail. Then pull it out & check it against the bottom. It should reach to about 1/2 way across the 510 pin. But the airflow hole in the 510 post is big enough for that syringe needle to fit in, so it may not be all the way open. Turn the base so the airhole is facing yje ceiling. Hold the -/ + blocks still with a pair of pliers, drop the syringe needle in the hole, & use a screwdriver to turn the 510 in the smallest bit you can. Stop & check to see if the needle goes in more. It may need to be turned the other direction.

    KF spares are almost impossible to find now. Even on FT. Except the colored tanks. I don't like those. FT has replacement glass for v5's.
