Thank you! It will be my luck that the coupon won't apply to my items LOL

I will try anyway and appreciate your help. :)
Also, I just used coupon code "GRADUATION16GB" for 8% off at GB. Some of the items I wanted were a little bit less on GB than on FT so the extra 8% made the difference. The code is good until 6-30-1016.

How long do you guys think a KFun type tank can last if you have plenty of spare glass and O-Rings? I'm considering the Genious2 as the tank I choose as my long term stockpile option.
I'm a little concerned about the fill port lasting over time.
I have a few authentic Kayfuns that I expect to last for many years. O-rings will go and little things like insulators and deck screws will require replacing. I don't think the fill port will be problematic beyond the odd screw going down the drain or the o-ring needing replaced.

Fasttech has lots of cheap Kayfun clone parts that I personally have stocked up on to go along with my authentic stockpile. Full bases for under $5, bell caps for $1.50, etc. Great to have just in case. Also, complete Ehpro Kayfun Lite+ clones have been selling for as low as $5 recently, so I grabbed a bunch of those.

I personally am putting most of my stockpile faith in the Kayfun Lite+ platform. Also a bunch of drippers and about a dozen RTAs (Crown, Subtanks, Aromamizer, etc.).

Thanks, good to know. I'm trying to go with one tank model and stock up on it so I'm trying to make the best decision I can. I like the many of the same ideology. But got to make sure it works for me and lasts the test of time so to speak.

I'll order one tomorrow and spend a solid week minimum with it. Hope I like it or I'm back to the drawing board with picking a long term tank LOL.

Finally just 0.6 points away from my 10 rebate points on FT :). Seems like it took forever!

That's a great price on that.I got the I4 about a year ago,and paid about the same for it.I don't really need a charger right now,but then again if the current one went out,i would be in a bad situaution,well looks like i'll be getting one of these haha.

Backups are always a good Idea. I have an older I4 that lost slot 1, works but weak. Immediately retired it for a replacement, newer I4 that has been flawless. Still, if I can muster the extra(FT comes first) the D4 would be a great deal for a spare unit.

Yeah,i always try and keep back up's for everything,but for some reason i never think about the charger.In a pinch,i have a few mods that i could plug a usb into and use those as a charger,but don't like doing that,so definitely need to get another,plus i need to get my son his own charger so he can stop using mine haha.

I have been. Vaping a Kayfun Monster Mini V3 clone i paid $5.43 it has an acrylic Tank and I have used it day in day out for about 9-10 months. Never had one second of trouble from tge plastic Tank, O ring

Every day if lies on its side in my pocket first on the Mini Volt, then the pucoy.

In all that time it may have leaked two drops.

I was going thru my Vapeocalypse box last night looking at all of the stuff I have stockpiled to ensure my wife and I can safely vape for decades, and I drew a strange parallel.....

As a Canadian, I have been to Cuba a few times and am always amazed at the resourcefulness of the Cubans with their 50's American cars. They use household and hardware parts and fabricate their own engine parts by hand and with primitive tools. Pretty amazing actually.

If the vaping industry is creamed in the coming couple of years like many anticipate, can we expect to be tinkering with our mods/tanks in a similar manner? :w00t: If vaping is percieved as "unsafe" currently, imagine when paperclips for coils, using random drink liquid as flavouring, NIC bought in an alley and duct tape holding mods/tanks together is common. :eek:

Obviously I am over sensationalizing here, but you get the idea....

Looking into buying a few mechs if all my electronic mods fail. So if I buy a few of these, I can just pop my STM with my 1.0 ohm RBA build on top? I understand there are other battery/safety issues to be aware of with mechs, I'm just talking about compatibility. Thanks again all for the help.

$18.80 Nemesis Style Mechanical Mod - 18350 / 18500 / 18650 mod at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping
Only use the STM and most tanks on a mech with a 510 center pin in the top. Such as a Nemesis.
NEVER use the STM on a mech with a hybrid style topcap such as the SMPL mods which just have a hole in the top to screw your atty and your atty directly connects with the top of your battery.

Thanks Cromwell. Added to cart.
 
I haven't read the FDA Regs, but the videos from a few lawyers that I saw stated that...
No new products after 8/8/2016 without doing the application process, but whats currently on the market can stay for another 2years and then it has to go through the application process by 8/8/2018.

Given this understanding, why the rush stock up on supplies (besides nic maybe) when we have a 2year period?
Am I not fully understanding the FDA Regs?

Also from what I understand, each juice flavor needs to go through the application/research deal "at" each nic level also. So testing /research/application for the same flavor e-liquid at 3mg then at 6mg then again at 12mg, etc.
Does that sound about right or am I totally wrong.

Because if things stand the way they are now, you may have a lot of shops deciding to close their doors. Some have already decided that the current atmosphere within the government just isn't worth the hassle.
