I hope you are right but I am prepared nevertheless. Our last government was trying to make it all illegal right down to drip tips. I am speaking of Ambrose (head desk)
True. Provincially it is hard to figure out what any of them are going to do next. It am prepared as well. I just want to wait to buy a ton of mods. If I did stock up, it would be KBox Minis as you did.
Since when is buying a little insurance that isn't used being an embecile?
Very true. I wouldn't say the same about a person that has socked away dozens of brand new eGos or iStick 20/30's though.

I have a few extra mods that are solid, so I should be fine for years. If the $h!t ever does hit the proverbial fan, that is when I shop like its the end of the world to stock up on HW for 10-20 years.

Dave come on 10 bux at Sally's is at least a lifetime supply. :D

True. I spent $10 for a box of cotton rope and bought a box of Cellucotton Rayon, too.

I tend to tear off a section to make a wick and throw away as much as I use, just because it's cheap. But yeah, I've had my box of Sally's cotton for a year and it's still almost full. :)

So, does anyone else have a secret stash or try to keep things "out of site, out of mind" that your significant other doesn't know about?
I don't have a SO. But, my daughter, her children, and I share living space. And, I tend to be mixed between wanting to show off any new shinies and wanting to hide the excess out of embarrassment.
Now if the regulations don't go through as we fear, or continually get delayed, we are all going to look like imbeciles :D

Exactly. There is a point beyond which it's no longer insurance. But, where is the line? I guess it's a little different for each of us.

To the OP (IMHO) I think it is best to be upfront about your purchases, there really never is a legit reason to hide things from each other. I would think as long as you are not taking funds from the household that are needed for other things it should be a non-issue but if she runs across your stash by chance that might well create an unnecessary issue.

I don't think Mr. Neil understood I was joking ;). I did, after all, get called Chicken Little three times in 5 days over my vapocolypse stash :D

Chicken Little? I think Parrot Little would be more appropriate. That's our Roxy!

Does she like pink?
I have two TC/regulated mods and 26+ mech mods. I would recommend this one for ease of use and it's a rock solid mod. This is my second Cloupor Mini Plus, I gave my black one to my hubby.
I have a few of the cloupor mini plus myself and love them

Hi
I'm kinda interested in buying a Cloupor plus TC-
whodathunkit?

How long have you been using yours?
(It's Cloupor- the question has to be asked....lol)

I read somewhere that it auto sets everything when u choose the wire.
Then, in another thread someone was saying they got "burnt nickel"....

Could someone weigh it without batts or atty, plz?

I have Evic mini & love it.
Love TC- especially the no-kanthal taste.

Thanks in advance for any help :)

I have both the cloupor mini plus and evic vtc mini and prefer the cloupor.
The the menus are identical but the cloupor is smaller, lighter, more comfortable to hold with nicer colors. Honestly the only advantage the evic has is a matching tank which I like a lot.
I can't address the TC aspects as I don't use TC so hopefully someone else can weigh in on that but mine have been in daily use for 4 months now without issue unlike the evic which I had to return on warranty exchange (twice now) for faulty screen display that pixelated and began to scroll sideways. Overall the cloupor mini plus has been a great performer for me, as a matter of fact I just purchased another (3rd one) during flash a sale at gearbest.

I have orange, white and pink and after seeing mine my friend bought blue (love it) and black. All of the colors and paint jobs are awesome and I really love that clear coat they add for extra protection and shine plus it gives the colors a deep richness. Much nicer than the evic's IMHO. :)

I'm torn between the white one and the blue one. I think my next one will be white, I can find more to match it, I would like to eventually get all five lol

LOL me too :) The price is right and if you watch GearBest they have flash sales now and then, the last one I purchased was under $30/free shipping and comes with the transparent sleeve, now they are 32.21/free shipping but the blue is out of stock. Also the colors themselves seem better/nicer from GB in the true metallics as pictured on the site versus the more solid non-shiny opaque versions I have also seen.

Nobody is breathing down my neck about how I spend my money except me. My vape is rda's, temp control and DIY. I'm stockpiling out of concern for government interference but 10 years of vape specific supplies is only about $500. I'm not hunting for the perfect rda and TC mods will continue to improve for years.

The way I participate in the hobby is evangelizing. I went to zero cigs to have more credibility with smokers interested in switching and I'm on the hunt for the least expensive way to have a quality vape. What I've discovered is a tootler who vapes 2 ml's a day at 8-10 watts can vape for about $50 a year after some up front money. The DIY cost for 2 ml's a day can be less than $10 a year. For people on low incomes or in poor countries that's important money to save, helps feed the kids.


If you're happy with 10yrs of vape supplies costing $500. Good luck. I have greater needs and will supply them accordingly.

As for folks in poor countries, while on Soc Sec Income, I sent more than $1000 a yr to a family I never met in the Philippines. Now that I have supplemental income, I'm thinking of going to the Philippines in 2017/18, and possibly marrying someone from Batangas, PH.
