Hello, Random Mixers. Hope everybody is doing reasonably well. :)

Stocking is a great idea but I think I'm stocked enough except I may add more Z-coils to my collection.

I think I have enough z coils. I am waiting to see if we get insanely good clearance sales soon. Then I might get a couple things just for fun.

OK, so I've been experimenting with my Zenith/Zlide tanks and different coil combinations, vaping Zenith (original), little Zlide and big Zlide--side by side for three days.

The verdict: I like the 4 ml Zlide the best, so I'm going to get a couple more. Easy.

Coils--I think I prefer the 1.6Ω coils after all. They are softer and taste better than all the others. So I need to get more of those. But how many? I do have a bunch of RTAs in my rotation, and several still en route, but can's figure out how many of Z coils is a reasonable amount. Help! :D

    Hi, Pretty Bird Take a guesstimate on how long one coil lasts for you. Being 72 I need less than you.

    I don't like the residue.
    On glass I use Goo Gone to remove the sticky stuff left behind. I don't know how it would work on the different types of plastic bottles. I think I would stick with what was mentioned already using hot water and dawn (maybe).

    This is so annoying. This stockpiling business. And it's hot in CA so I'm cranky. And the poor USPS is in big trouble due to recent events (Covid, budget cuts). My expedited package from FT hasn't updated in 11 days. :facepalm:

    An you want me to do math? :lol: I have too many mods, not enough coils, and probably could use a couple more RTAs. And I have to time my next nic buy.

    Why can't they just leave us alone?:-x

    750 would be a safe amount of coils.

    Way back in some places where they took your card and put it in a reader themselves they wouldn't accept a card that wasn't signed. I can remember having to sign a card in the shop. I don't think the signature has any purpose now.
    I never sign my cards. If they comment on it, I ask if they want to check my ID. That's what they are supposed to do. If they check for a signature ! I haven't been asked that in a long while.

    Someone else said it but I find rubbing alcohol on a cotton ball takes it off very quickly. Alcohol also takes Christmas tree sap off the ceiling...:facepalm:...but it also takes off paint.

    I need to take my excel vape inventory and add what some coils go to. I have some but not all. I can see me in 20 years trying to figure this out and being very confused. Hell I'm confused now. At least I have the original boxes for everything so that will help.

    That must have been one H3LL of a Christmas party to get alcohol on the ceiling. I'm not even gonna ask about the tree sap. In my mind I picture squirrel's were involved, but ....Nah never mind.:w00t:

    Figure out how long a coil lasts you then guess how long you’d like to be able to use them.

    I’d have to go downstairs to count them but I think I have at least a couple hundred of the z coils in different resistance. I also stocked up on the vaporesso Gt ccell coils I like. I did buy a bunch of kanger clapton coils but don’t know if I’ll use those. I mostly use rtas but do keep a zlide 4ml and a zenith in my rotation.

    The Smoant Batterstar squonk I ordered last week finally arrived yesterday. Initial impressions: I like it. The rda it came with is okay. I may play with it a little more to see if I can get it to work for me. I did find extra squonk tanks for the mod at Everzon. At $34 after shipping I am impressed with the mod itself enough to order another one.

    I'm glad to hear that. Mine has arrive, but I'm still out of town and haven't even looked at it yet. I'm having a wonderful weekend with my daughter. We're watching the "Back To The Future" trilogy and yesterday we went antique shopping. She obviously isn't your typical 20 year old...she like old things, listens to the same music as her mother, and I wasn't the one who turned her on to it.

    You are starting to sound like @DPLongo22 :D
    He has a lot too eh? Yeah, I went overboard. I have too much of everything. I stopped buying right after Christmas and stuck a fork in it and called it done. But here I go this month buying more stuff. I just wanted to give squonking another try. And when I’m old and decrepit and not able to do builds, all those dropins will come in handy. I’m using them now as well.

    That's so awesome, have fun and be safe.

    Just in case you end up liking yours too when you get back, be warned-- the yellow one is a bright canary yellow lol. I know you said you got the black one.
