Awesome, thanks Mike! The V2 Armor comes in glass bottles that are supposedly purged of air and hermetically sealed, and I get the 100% VG anyways, so I suppose I'll just keep on keepin on.

It's cheaper to buy the full liter of V 3 then 2- 500 of the v2. It's just odd. You would think the v3 would be more. Maybe the liter is easier for them than 2-500.
That's exactly correct. I'd assume most flavor companies would do exactly that (if they don't already; I've only been DIY'ing for a month, but I've already stumbled across quite a few flavor companies who don't advertise to the vaping market at all).
Maybe the packaging adds to it as well? I've never purchased the V3, but I can tell you the V2 comes in what appear to be incredibly thick, high-quality glass bottles.
V3 comes in a plastic bottle so you would have to rebottle it for freezer storage
I dont have a clue why the delta in price, but I do know that they dont go above 500ml in the V2 because the bigger bottles couldnt handle pulling that much of a vacuum. Might just be a quantity thing with the V3, bigger batches, less labor etc.
Thank you!!! I just ordered 3 gallons because of that great sale. Crossing my fingers. That's not near enough probably (hopefully, or I'm dead in 10 years lol!) but I'm hoping I can reduce my nic usage to <=3mg over the next year or so.
Maybe this is already here somewhere and I just can't find it...
But I'm thinking we need to start a new high-level topic called Open Source / DIY Hardware. Specifically to share schematics, tutorials and instructions for building (and reverse-engineering / cloning) our favorite hardware, including 3D files for parts that can be created that way, and links to anything that can be found in hardware stores and/or online. This is the obvious next step for those of us that have no intention of quitting. Stockpiling is all well and good, but we are still at the mercy of others when it comes right down to it. What do y'all think?
I've scoured the existing topics and threads, and the problem is lack of focus, as I see it. Too scattered and not really addressing the entire DIY process from start to finish except in isolated posts. Hopefully the OP for those that are useful will x-post or revise for the new area. And again, this is about way more than RDA rebuilding. This is hardcore building - everything from mech mods to our own box mods.
I've already written the hexohm folks asking if, when they finally shut down because of the FDA, they will consider open sourcing their hardware plans, to help keep the community alive. No reply as of yet but it's very early days still.

My feelings exactly, the noises on federal, state and local levels are kinda hard to oeverhear:
Plenty of politicians and officials who can't wait to get their grubby hands into the vapers' pockets too.
So why not use the opportunity to squirrel some away while it's still affordable and available ?
With some of the numbers floating around re taxation, that stash of yours in the basement freezer could soon be worth more than the house 'n lot sitting on top of it
Yeah I dont think rubber is gonna be much help with an EMP, but maybe I'm wrong. That faraday cage, on the other hand, might...
Credit cards won't be an issue if people start paying for stuff with bitcoins I know fasttech already accepts excepts them.

If you haven't, please take the survey at the top of the page. It is the first I've seen, that actually asks the right questions. Whether or not our Govt. cares about the ANSWERS, is another matter. But hope springs eternal, right?
Yeah I think we are doing a damn fine job of destroying the American way of life all by ourselves, thank you very much. Who needs a fatwa?
Great concept, but I am intimidated even contemplating it. It covers a lot of topics. The real challenge would be keeping the thread clean.
Thank you. I looked at the description and it didn't say it was in plastic. So glad you knew. I will be changing my order. I do not want to rebottle.
THANK you for that link! 4 years ago, when I started, the accepted wisdom was that VG was a better base for long term storage than PG. I put 500ml of MFS 100mg VG in an unopened bottle in the freezer. I opened it some time around this past February, and it was in every sense I could tell, unchanged.
Reading up on it more recently, it seemed that PG was most often recommended. Not sure when or how the wisdom changed, but I am glad to see this gent advocating VG. It is also my experience, that 4 years results in 0 change in VG based nic.
