I bought a four pack of these. DH does Amazon Prime, and there is a seller somewhere that had them with prime shipping...but I didn't look for it just now.

I put each of the attys (taken apart) in it's own slot. For the KF's, I'm using one daily, so I'm pretty sure I won't forget how to put them back together, but definitely a good thought there. Esp if it's a onsey, twosey, type atty that you don't use that often.
Maybe print out a break down from somewhere for a vape file.
If I ever forgot how to reassemble a KF+, it would be time to hang up vaping.

:cry: :lol::lol::lol:


I took my KF's apart. I don't know if it will matter one way or another, but I just know I'd be a very unhappy gal if I couldn't get them apart. (down the road)
What do you think? Does it matter?


No kidding! :lol::lol::lol:
No way I'll catch Willy though. :laugh:

I'm not worried about orings (I have spares galore and they will always be available) ... I'm also not worried about Kayfuns seizing up as they are extremely well made.

heck, some of them I never even opened :blink:

That's where I got mine too. :) I hadn't opened some of mine either.
Okay, I didn't know if it was anything to be concerned with or not.
Thanks. :)

I did take some pics when putting stuff away. This is most of what I have currently (might have added a few things (pretty sure I got a pico or two, couple STM clones, and more parts/pieces) since then) but the mods will be likely doubling in size and the RTA's will grow slightly as I add in some RDTA's. Note: 3 pics of the pre-made coils are one box, 3 different angles:

My stock up boxes, mostly tanks, parts, coils, coiling stash, mech's a Few Provari's. I have a bit more too but this is most of the hardware :) I have 4 Provari's cleaned and ready to store too. So still organizing the odds and ends!
NICE!!!

Was not worried about stocking up because I am at zero nic.
How wrong was I.......
Since winter, I gained 20+ lbs! Everything in my life has been just the same except that I stopped nicotine.
Now, it has to be the zero nicotine in my vape causing my rapid weight gain.
Dr health checkup and blood works are just as usual.
Just made a batch of 500 ml of juice including 3 mg nic.
And a nic bottle is on the way which should be good enough for at least 2 years.
Heh.... if I lose weight in the next few months, it sure is an easy way for weight loss other than to restrict food intake. LOL

Welp the buying hiatus has ended... another liter of nic on the way, 3 x rx2/3 and 4 noisy crickets from ecig, placed an order for 4 picos at GB that fell thru for a combination of reasons and now kicking myself for not putting a few on that ecig order and another 15 batteries to make 3 sets of 2 and 3 sets of 3 for the new rx2/3's. I have just enough bottles to break that nic down I think but then I won't have any 120ml bottles for more batches of juice so time for another GBO order since I also have a cart loaded up with 40 different flavors at BCF.

Good thing they raised my credit limit and lowered my APR on that one card. Funny thing about that: I requested the credit limit increase on the card with the lower rate to get it in line with my other card's credit limit and a few hours later that 2nd card with the higher rate raised my credit limit as well. They just want me to go into vape debt.

Nope, not taking my yet to be used stuff apart. If o-rings become compressed or brittle, I'll just replace them down the road. Not a big deal. Not thinking time is going to make getting my stuff apart a problem.

I always clean my used mods/tanks/rda's really well before putting them away if I don't plan to use them in the near future. Never seen a problem when pulling them out later to use and some of have been stored for a couple years. I'll take my chances continuing with what I've been doing thus far. ;) :)

@Mrmik - I've gained 22lbs. since quitting smoking and going to vaping only in Jan. 2014. Went from 1 - 1 1/2 PAD for 42 years, to vaping 6mg eliquids. Did not change my diet at all (the amount of food I eat, the types of foods I eat, when I eat, etc.), the amount of exercise I get...nor anything else. I also take thyroid meds, but had been on the same dosage for the last 23 years, with my weight never changing more than 2-3 pounds up or down, in that time period. Then I quit smoking, and in the last 2 1/2 years have gradually added the 22 pounds.

My endochronologist won't change my meds to help with the weight gain (nor other symptoms I'm having related to thyroid issues now that I quit smoking). He told me that quitting smoking changes your whole metabolism. That's why even many people who didn't replace smoking with eating more, nor eating snacks and other things as smoking replacements, will still gain the weight. So...maybe that's what's happened to you, too!

Since he won't adjust my meds, I'm considering raising my nic level in my DIY eliquids. I want to see if that makes a difference in my weight, and in my energy level that's been way down since quitting smoking.

I'll be interested in hearing if your weight changes if you adjust your nic level.

I have the thyroid problems also, so it may be the reason for feeling tired with no energy. I am surprised that he won't up the meds tho. Also, growing a little older slows down the metabolism too. So in order to maintain, sometimes you need to be more active than you previously were. Not fun if you are already tuckered out.

They say growing older is not for sissy's......I sure hope I don't turn into one. LOL
