    Sounds like you need some more tanks. ;)

    I don't need more. I should use more of my old ones for testing. I've got a bunch of different tanks from over the years. I've got a stack on case full of them along with a fairly large cardboard box with a bunch of tanks in the original packaging. I like to keep them in the original boxes with the replacement parts when I can.

    I’m almost, finally to the end of finishing up bottles from a couple epic mixing sessions (yay)! It’s so much more fun to mix new possibilities than vape the “maybes”. Gained a couple more keepers (nothing new to y’all). I’m going through my recipes for ideas for new mixes.

    Somehow I knew you had plenty of tanks:lol:

    I've got to get to mixing soon too. I have no lack of recipes. Just trying to figure out what sounds best to me.

    I have it narrowed down to 12. Not doing that again ... it takes too long to get through them. I’m trying to pick 2 custards and 3 shorter steeps. I need to make more of your cereal bar (adv :wub:), but other than that I need to try some new stuff.

    I have to admit, besides my regular purchases, I went on a bit of a tank buying frenzy for a few months in a row. Some good, some not so good. I have settled down with the zeus single coil tanks for the most part besides a couple augvape intakes. I still have a merlin in rotation with several back ups. The merlin gives great flavor but I had a lot of seeping problems when I tried to use it as an out and about tank so I just use it at home now.

    Well, at least you have no chance of running out:)

    Sort of figured you did :)

    I do the same, when feasible, with backups to my backups, easier to keep the parts together that way. Same with my backup mods, keeping cords (when provided) and manuals together.

    Conversely, with tanks I do have a rack with a dozen "immediate" backups on it, coiled, wicked, ready to fill. Just in case one of the dozen in use decides it's time for a clean and rewick and I'm in more of a hurry to get that flavor going again. (Or, more likely, while that first one is drying before rebuilding ;) )

    I'm not nearly as organized but do have all my owner manuals. They aren't with the PV's but if needed wouldn't take long to find. My last couple stash PV's are still in the original box with what they came with. The others are not. Once I move I won't have as much room so the boxes had to go. I think I'm going to use an empty flavor case for my tanks. I have some plastic drawer units stacked up in my closet at daughters but a case would keep the tanks altogether. I did start that already and have a case half full. The only new tank I have is a True that's still in the box cause I haven't had the patience to coil and wick it.

    I’ve recently started using pre wound coils. I still have a ton of different wires but it’s not as convenient.
    Oh yeah, I've got plenty of wire and a ton of those pre-wound coils. Still, I just haven't got the patience to do it.

    I guess I'm starting to worry about moving to my daughters which is coming up fast. I'm sure everything will be fine once I get used to it. The available room for my stuff is going to get cut to my room where now I have this whole house. Not that I have a whole house full of ecig stuff, it's all in the kitchen but it takes up quite a bit of cabinet space. Plus the horrid mess I have all over my desk. Where I'm going to put this mess is just mind-boggling. I have about the next 3 weeks to get stuff mixed. When I do move I want a bunch of new mixes to go with me. I have recipes and recipes ideas scattered everywhere and if I don't get them organized somewhat then I'll end up making one huge pile to go through at a later date. If I don't mix tomorrow then I'm going to try to organize some of my mess.

    I dragged some more recipes and partial recipes out of a kitchen drawer. I have the finished recipes in an envelope and the partials in another. Some progress anyway. A little grocery shopping is up for tomorrow and I'm going to try to get a couple of recipes mixed. Enough for now.

    I’m sure it seems overwhelming now but once you get settled in @your daughters & get organized into a different routine all will be well :wub:
