That's alot more than I have. But I'd probably be right up there with you if I had more money right now.
A lotta help you are
That's all?!!!! Nope. Not enough.
How many sets of orings should I stock up on? I want to make sure I have enough. I'm using subtank minis. I've used one of them since last November and I haven't had to replace it yet. I have four total.
O-rings aren't going to be that much of an issue unless they're a non-standard size that you can't snag at the hardware store.
Take a set to your local hardware store and see if they correspond to what's readily available. If you find a match, no need to stock up.

The Subtank glass Orings are special and not available at any hardware store.
With that said I have about 15 sets of Orings, 20 replacement glass, 12 bases, 8 standard tops, 8 bellcaps, 4 topfill tops and 16 rba's of the STM variety.
Like you I have used on STM since last November and it is still going strong.
So I should be set on Subtanks for the rest of my like.
Yeah, I was thinking that I should have a lot of orings since I'm sure they would be the first thing to replace. I have the replacement glass for all four that came with it, but I'm going to pick up a few more. Luckily I've never broken the glass on any atty I've ever had, but it doesn't hurt to be prepared in case my luck runs out. I'm going to get two packs of rbas too. They're the ones that come to five a piece. How do you like the bell caps? I feel like with the four subtank minis and replacement parts they should be good forever. I really love them.
I just realized you said ypu had a couple topfills for them. Where did you find those at?
I actually quit looking for the perfect topper for me when I found the SMOKtech ARO ll. It is a single coil bottom fed clearo. I think I have enough of them to last for the rest of my life specially since I have only had to toss one since I started using them a couple a years ago but how can I pass up a sale where I can get them for about a buck 50 with the sale that is going on over at GotVapes right now. summersavings gets you 40% off everything but e-liquid and if you sign up for their newsletter you get an extra 5% off your total order. The thing is, they are already marked down to a good price so the coupon is just icing on the cake.
I am having a fight with myself. The devil on one shoulder says, go for it and the Angel on the other says, you have more than you will ever use. The coil heads for these are so simple to rebuild and I have a ton of them already so am good to go there. I also have one of each color of the mini Trophy tanks and several of the mini davides they sell and they use the same coil heads.
I have igo-w's and igo-l's for drippers and a couple more RDA's and bunches of pro-tanks. I am a low watt (10 or less) , MTN (mouth through nose) vaporer and use 1.8Ω coils. I have the battery holder end taken care of and if push came to shove Hubby can build me what ever I might need in the future. I have all the nic I could ever use with bunches left over but my weak spot is the toppers I love. I just counted my ARO ll's and I have 35 of them already. It is a mixture of all the various colors.
I am wondering if I am ever going to feel completely finished and prepared for whatever happens
That's more then enough! Actually I'm just practicing on you what I'm trying to convince myself

I like the Bellcaps. I use them for out side doing stuff since they will not shatter.
If you buy bases get Authentic ones. I got some clones ones and only 1 out of 5 worked. The 510 was too short...
These RBA's work fine. FT SKU 3822800
These are the bellcaps I got FT SKU 4139704
I am relying on RDA's for my forever stash. No glass tanks, no custom o-rongs and seals. The o-rings are standard industrial types. Not much to go wrong. I have 4 STMs and a half dozen or so spare RBA decks and some spare seals but I like dripping and see that as a better way to forever proof my Atty collection.
Topfills? I got these that use the same replacement glass as the standard STM.
FT SKU 2804000
they have small holes for filling. A unicorn bottle or needle bottle is recommended.
I have a Grainger store just a few miles from my house. They have every size o-ring known to man there. Also, as long as you have accurate diameter + thickness measurements you can get any o-ring for anything through multiple online suppliers. I'm not saying it isn't smart to stock up now. But if at some time in the distant future you need one, it will be there.
Yep but the Orings for the STM tank glass are not round orings. One is flat with ridges and the other is flat with a lip.
Not saying it is impossible to get them someplace else, but I doubt it.
Is it working
So far the additions are only written on paper
BUT I know myself and I know that eventually I'll breakdown and add what I want (not need) to my collection
Ah, didn't realize they had flat sides. I don't own an STM. We'll all just have to make them with our cheap 3d printers that we'll all have within the next 10 years. lol
Continuing my theme, I view RDAs as the mech mods of atty's. With the advantage that they never explode or become incendiary devices
