I also have quite the stockpile...not because I am afraid of a ban...two reasons, really:
1. I don't ever want to run out again. I did that ONCE my second week into vaping, it was a nightmare!
2. My tastes are changing so fast that I like something one day, and literally, the next day it don't please me as much.
Being a noob at this myself at almost 6 weeks now, I am still going through the flavors, finding what works (for the moment) and still looking for that ONE flavor fix that does the trick. It's been 555 for a couple weeks, but now that is wearing thin...I did get through half my supply before that happened, and I still end up going back to it before I move to another, yet again.
So, my somewhat expensive supply isn't due to stocking up, it is just me being fickle LOL
