yeah obsolete. Most vape equipment is obsolete by the time you get to buy it
Kinda like electronics...
As long as it fills my needs I like obsolete because it is cheaper.
As log as it keeps me off the stinkies that is the only thing i care about.
I have 500-600 ft of assorted Kanthal. Have some stainless too but not tried that yet.
I have 450 or so 26 gauge
100 25 gauge, and a little of the 28 gauge i started with.
Thats a pretty good deal. Now you just need to find a deal on the V2 upgrade ring to replace that stupid rubber band.I need to stay out of stockpiling threads

Been prepping for the last few months "and" on at least every other week writing my representatives. I list the legit studies including the Royal Academy of Physicians statement on Vaping. I also state that not only will I not vote for any Representative that supports the FDA's regulations on Vaping but will actively work to have them replaced.
Bottom line though, I know that we are screwed and the real best hope we have is lawsuits that will slow down the enforcement. Big "Old" well established money is behind killing Vaping for Tobacco is a very old Institution and too many organizations have been built up around it. Those selling it and those getting people off of Tobacco dependence, Vaping is putting them out of business and they're out to protect their lifestyle.
Call me cold but I really will not have any sympathy for those who have not prepared and learned the basics like coil building. Making coils is so very simple, with a tiny bit of practice one can knock out a basic coil in just a couple of minutes. It's not like we haven't known this has been coming down on us.
It's simple, you have two choices
1. Learn to build and invest a couple hundred $$$ in 100mg nic juice
2. Quit or go back to the Stinkies
That is enough wire to last me 300 years.Part of my Stash
Been vaping over a year and have yet to use 30 feet of wire total.

I have three of them Mowgli and love them. My Reo Grand got demoted to the vapocalypse stash box once I figured out how to build the first one.
Got a Merlin and a Boreas coming now too. Ya, I gotta stay away from these threads ...
Yeah I'm not at the bottom of the Rabbit Hole, I'm digging it
Seriously though I was perfectly a happy Vaper buying stock coils and vaping on my standard Regulated Mods. The Government and Regulatory arms of governments pushed me into the world of DiY juice, coil building and Mech Mods. I used to say I'd never go down that route, well they pushed me. But to be honest, I really, really enjoy it and it has turned into a hobby for me now.
I wrap a lot of wire for friends and family and teach others as much as possible all while trying to learn even more. When the regulations hit I know there will be a very active and vibrant underground network. The Genie has been let out of the bottle and as much as they try to kill it the result will be an even stronger community.
Hello again everybody.
I too ought to stay out of stockpile threads. Every time I go back in for a reading session I end up buying something.
Today's addition to the haul includes a DNA device and a few more RTAs. Another liter of nicotine and the requisite accoutrement are also on the way.
But as for the "contributory" part of this comment, I also did a realistic inventory of all my existing (but cleaned, boxed, and not in current use) equipment and the order in which I would use them, if online sales are halted in August. Realistically, what do I own that I will truly enjoy using (not just using because it's what I have left) versus what do I need in order to maintain the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed (lol).
It turns out that my last-resort vapeocalypse stash looks a lot more like some older, more questionable RDAs than I feel comfortable with relying upon, say, 5-10 years in the hypothetical future. I'm currently in the process of eliminating any premade-coil tanks from the Offical Stockpile so the imagined whole of my stock isn't as big as previously thought to be.
This means more Avocados, Griffins, Kayfuns, and a few other RTA models I haven't tried yet.
As for mods, I've got the expected mech mod but that will be used in the event of emergencies ONLY (as in, everything else is gone). Four REOs (one needs the spa) and 8 or 9 regulated mods, kept in their boxes and some unopened. I'm going to buy about four more and I have a "wish list" and a "realistic list."
My goal is to hope for the best but prepare for the worst and in case my husband decides to start vaping, I want to have very good equipment ready for him, too.
It felt good getting my ducks in a row and knowing what I have and what I need. It also allowed me to clearly understand what I need to buy replacement parts for.

I always test my backup/stash mods for a week and then rebox them.
Nothing like counting on an untested backup and then finding out it is defective.
I also check out all my clone repair parts. Found 4 of 5 STM bases did not work. 510 pin too short. Now need to build them up and smooth them back down to fix them.

I might do this once the novelty of having unopened mods wears off.
(P.S. I think that is excellent advice)
All my stash tanks and parts get inspected for bad threads, Orings, etc then put away in plastic boxes.
Thats a great deal. I remember when those were $45 each.I need to stay out of stockpiling threads

Good atty too. Its what I standardized on. You can dress it up, or dress it down. And they have been reliable. Although I greatly prefer the V2, the only difference being a true AFC ring instead of a rubber band. Didnt care for the "Supreme" version, gave 2 of those away.
