On stockpiling after FDA deeming regulations

[zoiDman]

Yep those are cool I got some of the taller version that uses standard STM glass.
Where the heck to you get the little fill orings though?

These are the Little Buggers you are looking for...

I know there are countless threads on this but I have a quick question.

I don't really DIY yet, but I'd like to buy 2 liters of NIC.
I've seen good prices on Wizard Labs and im not sure if I'll buy it in 100mg strength or 24mg (What I vape daily).

Does anyone have any suggestions for someone wanting to stockpile a little nic?

I have enough of my ADV to last me 2.5 years already transferred to boston round bottles.

Who has the best priced nic at a decent quality?

Buy the 100mg/ml nic. Once you add the other ingredients your 24mg won't be 24mg anymore. Buy it now, worry about how to do it all later. You will be glad you did.

Stockpiling Q: What's a Nautilus user to do?

I have plenty of mods (I think) and I'm slowly building my nic supply. However, I'm stumped by the tank/coil issue. It's too darn expensive to stock up on many years worth of pre-made nautilus coils.

I'm a MTL user, and from what I've been able to digest, a Kayfun Lite tank might be a good, rebuildable option for me to hold in reserve. My questions are:

1. What tank do you recommend for me?

2. If a Kayfun Lite is recommended, even a clone, I cannot find them in stock ANYWHERE. Links to in stock options?

Also, I'd be happy to know how other nautilus users are handing their supplies and any other recommendations ....

Thank you!

You can find quite a few at Fasttech, for example (use pull down menu on the right and you will see a lot of other Kayfun Lite clones):
$12.39 Kayfun Lite Styled RTA Rebuildable Tank Atomizer - 4.5ml / stainless steel at FastTech - Worldwide Free Shipping

But I would not buy Kayfun lite for myself - they are difficult to fill, they do not have adjustable airflow.

I just want to thank everyone for all the help. I've bookmarked them all so I can do an order when I get my check.

Somewhere earlier in this thread was mention of the Sandpaper Glovari. (No way I’m gonna find those posts now.) I put two coats of clear nail polish on mine. Did a crappy job, you guys can probably do much better, but they still glow in the dark.

I've always bought from myvaporstore, vaporauthority, sweet-vapes, and directvapor to make sure I was getting authentic. I've always been afraid of Fasttech - not sure why. So on Fasttech, when it says "authentic", you can be sure it is?

I haven't had any problems with Fasttech if an item was listed as Authentic.

And if you see "Styled", that's FT Code for "Clone".

I have never had any bad experiences with FT lying about "authentic", I trust them a lot in that respect.

It was me! It feels like sand paper!

I can measure them this evening, there are several different orings involved. Each Atty does come with spare o-rings. Also, if you buy the spare tanks, they come tank o-rings. If you buy the spare decks or coils, they also come with spare o-rings.

It Always kinda cracked me up when an OEM doesn't throw in a couple of extra O-Rings like this when you buy an Atomizer.

Or on parts if the do NOT say genuine or authentic they are cloners.

Yeah... That is True Also.

But it does bring up the Questions as to what, Exactly, is a "Clone"?

Yep it does.
Kanger kinda cloned the Kayfun RBA deck style in their RBA and improved it, now in the KFV5 Kayfun has cloned the improved Kanger clone

And I have a couple of Velocity Mini's. Are they clones since Velocity did not make a mini?

 

[Two_Bears]

The devil is correct. There's never enough.

Works for me!

Better to have a s not need than to need and not have.

Not so much along those lines, but "Clones" made by the Original OEM.

---

I knew the Owner of a company that made Very High End knives. Very High End and Very Expensive. He needed some help Trouble-Shooting some CNC Code and I meet him at his shop on a Sunday.

I got there kinda Early and when I walked in, he was putting his Newest Folding Model into plain White Boxes. I asked him what he was doing because his knives normally went out in a Velvet Bag inside a Cool Presentation Box. He told me, with a Huge Grin on his face that he was Boxing up "Clones".

It took me a second to Figure it out. Because how could the Original OEM make a Clone of his own product?

But he explained that there just Wasn't any way to stop people from Cloning his Knives. So instead of losing out on that market, why not make his Own and sell them thru a "Middle Man" distributor. The profit was much Less. But as he put it... "You can Never go broke taking a Profit". And his Clones were as Good as the Originals. Because they WERE the Originals. LOL.

So sometimes when I see a "Clone" I wonder if it was made by another Party? Or if it was made By/For the Original OEM?
