On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

[DancingHeretik]

With the solid stainless tank, how would you check your liquid level? Would you have to unscrew the tank from the mod. Even if you do that, you'd be looking at the level from the top down. It seems to me it would still be hard to judge the juice level accurately. There is a Mini Nautilus tank that is solid stainless, with a little T shaped window, that I assume is glass. The idea is that you can check juice level through the window, while your tank is much more protected from breaking. I am surprised that type of thing isn't avaliable with the Kayfuns and Kayfun clones.

The surest way I can think of is to first measure how much liquid fits in the tank (Remember not to fill it all the way. I just fill until the window is barely covered.) Then, whenever you want to refill while using the metal tank, use a syringe to take all liquid out to see how much more you need to add.

If you don't want to start out building coils, or if you are just plain lazy, like me, you can buy pre-made coils. They are extremely cheap! 50 coils for under $3.

But, wrapping a coil is the easy part. It's getting the ends under the screws and wicking correctly that's hard.

Me too. I ordered a couple a liters a few months ago to add to what I already had in the freezer and said "I'm done. I have enough to last a lifetime". I just added 2 more liters to my stash. I just couldn't help myself.

I know what you mean. I keep having to resist buying more nic. I'm trying to force myself to focus on other things.

Right now, that's making sure everything is in good repair and buying any spare parts I may need. I have 2 mods that need to be sent off for repair. And, lots and lots of things that need spare parts.

Next. I'll buy some wire and a few more batteries. Not really stocking up (since they SHOULD still be available). Just making sure I'm not low on anything. So, I can think more clearly and double-check everything better.

I am out of town, and will be home tomorrow evening US Central Time. There are places that you can buy high quality glassware at, but I do not have the links.

100% of my orders are from Nude Nicotine for Armor v2, which is shipped in lab glassware, amber bottles, for long term storage with argon topping off the bottle.

I have more than 1 gallon US, which I started to collect in Sept 2015, all in bottles ranging from 125ml and 500ml, 100mg/ml.

I do not suggest anyone buy a plastic bottle of nic and then divide it up for storage in mason jars. If you've somehow gotten HERE and are looking for suggestions, then I suggest you buy the amber lab glassware (bottles) with special drippers, and a bottle of argon gas from a local liquor store...and spray the argon in to the top of the bottle, just beforte you seal it up for the next 5yrs.

What does the argon gas do? The glass bottles you use, are they available at Nude Nicotine?

Unpacked my 2 Corolla RTA's to clean before storage............
The holes do not align properly on wither one(but usable) and 1 has a BROKEN TANK Deeming should be in force by time I get it sorted.

I like the way the FT Corolla's Clones Hit that I got from FT. A Nice Low Wattage Flavor RTA IMO.

But Yeah... The Quality on them has a Lot of Room for Improvement.

Just an Update:

My FT Corolla Clone arrived.

$12.52 Corolla Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 3ml / 304 stainless steel + glass at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

It's a Great Size. Is a Good Flavor "Soft" Hitter. And not bad Looking.

But Man... The Quality Control on it is Bad.

One of the Post Screw Holes wasn't tapped deep enough. Or they went with Screws that were Too Long. Because it Wouldn't trap a 26ga wire. Luckily I had some Shorter M2.5 screws on hand, else it would have been Dremel Time.

The Air Holes in the Atomizer Cover don't line up well with the Air Holes in the Deck. So I only have really One Air Setting.

The 510 Thread are Janky. And the 510 Center Post is Very Long.

I'm hitting on it Right Now. And I like the Hit I'm getting. But Man... It took some Tweaking and a Replacement Screw to get it Going.

I did my second build ever on a Kayfun a week ago. I had to re-wick once and achieved good results. Still getting great vape. It is perfect for someone new. Watch a couple of videos. Don't get too wrapped up in the details. It is not rocket science. I have a couple originals and a couple of clones. I love the flavor. Simple well though-out design and a sleek look. Easy to work with. Recommend.

This is very comforting. Thank you. Which Kayfun did you build on last week? I want to make sure I don't buy the wrong one.

 

[JustWondering1]

If you don't want to start out building coils, or if you are just plain lazy, like me, you can buy pre-made coils. They are extremely cheap! 50 coils for under $3.

Tell me more about this please. I get the sense you aren't talking about ready made coils. Are the pre-mades somewhere between coils you build and the ready made ones I buy for my Nautilus Mini & Kabuki tanks? How do you know which pre-made coils will work on a particular Kayfun or Kayfun clone?

 

[JustWondering1]

It works for me.

The hardest part is Trapping the leads under screw heads. This can be frustrating at times.

Attys with Post holes would be easier to trap the leads.

Good to know. Thank you. Are there other Kayfuns you think would be easier to build for a newbie builder tootle puffer flavor chaser like myself?

 

[Robert Cromwell]

The new V5 Kayfuns have a little lip beside the screw to trap the wire under making it much easier.
The same method that the Kanger STM's have used in their RBA decks for some time.

FT also has V5 clones I am told.

What does the argon gas do? The glass bottles you use, are they available at Nude Nicotine?

Argon is an inert gas, that is heavier than air. Used to displace normal atmosphere in this scenario, right before closing up a bottle with empty air space. Commonly used in welding. GENERALLY safe, but if you were to breathe an abundance, it would sit in the bottom of your lungs and not be expelled. The solution, is to stand on your head and breathe. No kidding.

An easier to come by solution is nitrogen, which is available as a wine preservative spray.

Awesome! Thanks LLB!! I think I remember you posting about this in the Ahlusion thread.

tHESE ARE THE MODS I MAKE TODAY:

Cool, thanks!
I've already got a liter and a half in the freezer. Which I calculated should be about 14 years worth. That price though figure get another two liters, better safe than sorry!

Same here. I have 1 1/2 liters and getting two more the first of July. It's a bummer that I don't have money now for the MFS nic sale tho. I'm using it right now and I like it.
Once I get my last two liters I'll be set for over thirty years too.

I feel sure we will not have a problem buying flavoring but I decided it was prudent to add 2 120 bottles of my favorite. Capella's Vanilla Custard-the good stuff not the reformulated for those that were afraid of the possibility of the D word being in it. I was afraid Bull City would have to pull the plug and it was less expensive through them than from Capella. I immediately transferred it to Cobalt blue bottles and after reading here this morning I think I should at least move it to the fridge.

BTW: I store all of my flavorings in glass. A friend kept a lot of hers in the plastic bottles they came in and sadly the different flavors mixed and mingled with all the different flavors in the box and had to be tossed. Glass seems to prevent that.

It is way cheaper to get the big bottles from Bull City. I'm going to puck up one, cuz I love Vanilla Custard and one morr big bottle of tfa ry4 dbl.

And if a good price I'll buy more

That will be for friends and family who want to get off the Stinkies after the FDA B.S. hits.

Calling it the Civil War was a bit of govt propaganda put in our textbooks and such.
Sounded so much less confrontational than 'War of succession' or 'War Between the States'.

Don't you mean the "Northern Aggression?"

Thank you very much for this! I appreciate all of the helpful hints and advice everyone is sharing!

I'm hoping that sales are good so I can get more than just nic. I get my check on the first thank God.

For long term storage it's an overkill. There are almost no air in properly fulled bottle anyway.
For wine nitrogen is used for storage of remnants of wine in at least onece opened and partially emptied bottle.
