I’ll admit I have been getting my shine on a lot since coming back to ECF, but I was coasting for years prior. I deserve - and really, needed- some updates and up grades.

For me, it’s not about getting the most expensive or cheapest things, I’m not a tightwad, and it doesn’t matter if anyone is impressed by my stuff but me. I do like a good deal though, and I’m a sucker for purty colors lol. Now that I have a nice rainbow collection started, I’m jonesing for some green and purple shinies.

And I really think I could get the hang of RTAs if I find the right one. I do like the Hadaly clone, functionally, but it’s not purple.

I have been getting my shine on also. I was happy with my provaris, kayfuns, and lemos for 5 years. Then one day on a whim I popped in here. Got 3 new box mods (never thought I would like them, love them) and three new tanks. I am worried about my ability to keep getting e juice so am stocking up on diy supplies (nicriver got $1000 from me in the last few weeks). Got a $300 fasttech order showing up whenever. All this will keep me in clouds for the next couple of decades. Ohhhh but there are so many things that I want to try!!! SScoils, TC, Squonking. In awhile I have a hybrid I am going to sell so I can get a squonker, don't tell J.

<======= only 1 pico *resisting urge not to make it more*

They're frisky little things and tend to multiply fast... Like rabbits.

 

[Fidola13]

no,just playing with you,from your commit on another thread about the sx mini.all that matters is do you like it.

Lol that’s funny because that thought crossed my mind

lmao I've noticed

 

[DebbieNY]

My grey and my white Pico Squeezes, 3 single-coil decks for my Aromamizer Supreme V2s, another Wasp, another Hadaly, and various caps/drip tip 'clothes' for the RDAs are now State-side and have departed Brooklyn, NY for their new home...

Come to Momma!

(Oh, and some silicone disposable drip tip covers, too... Sharing is caring.)

P.S. I may have had too much sugar and/or caffeine today.

I need more nicotine...View attachment 738761

You're correct... Lot of empty shelf space in there

 

[JamesDMad]

Just a question.... Does the nic have a shelf life?

Just a question.... Does the nic have a shelf life?

I finished a nearly four year old bottle of 36mg/ml USP liquid nicotine just last month. I have another bottle just like it that was just opened and a bottle of 48mg/ml that hasn't left the closet where they were all stored together. No freezing. The only change in them from the time they were bought and now is a change in color from light yellow to orangish-amber. Taste and hit are unchanged.

About a year, nic salt is more stable. Key is keeping it cool and away from light. Long term storage (3+ years), it is recommended that it is repackaged in glass bottles with minimal air inside and stored a freezer.

More shiny vape mail! Single coil and postless decks for the Steam Crave Supreme. I’m loving this RTA a lot!

 

[DebbieNY]

I'll be on a mission to acquire 100mg (<-- I'm lazy, remember?) Nicotine at some point in the future.

Thinking salts will work for both regular sub-ohm vaping and small, stealthy, high-nic vape mods (surprisingly digging the My Blu w/ 24mg ), but I do enjoy a bit of nic hit, so wondering if stashing both regular freebase and salt nicotines are the way to go instead... Beuller?

DIYers, please let me know if any companies that you love have a mad sale on the horizon... I'm no where near DIY-ready (I've got a stock pile of retail juice on hand already), but...

Vapepocalypse and all, ya know...

All I am stashing is nicsalt, smooth for now, may add some with some hit to mix in the future. I subohm at 9% and most people who hit my devices think it is zero nic until their head starts spinning.

Is there any difference in flavor between the two?

Not that I can notice...

 

[AngeNZ]

My pico got shiny mail today - a pink rubber outfit.
Hopefully that will stop it reproducing

 

[DebbieNY]

Bahahaha, @AngeNZ! I bought every color in the original Picos when they came out. Pink was the 1st color I chose and I was obsessed about keeping it purty (I was in LOVE!), so I bought a bunch of silicone sleeves... Didn't work...

 

[Letitia]

My two flavor orders are in. I'll be in recipe creating mode all weekend. Love that part of mixing.

If you like purple you should look at the Wismec CB60 , I bought one for my wife because that's her favorite color and she loves it. It only goes to 60 watts but she vapes at 9 watts and with it's built in battery of 2300 mAH it last her for days and is not a bad device at all.

 

[Sickbxy]

Didn't work...

Maybe gold might work?

 

[NolaMel]

Just a question.... Does the nic have a shelf life?

I read a discussion by a chemist familiar with nicotine. His response was frozen at ten years showed minimal degradation, and felt it would remain good for probably many more years with a slow decline in nicotine levels over time. Oxygen and heat/sunlight are the big threats to how long it will last, and retain its original strength

I edited that mess of a last sentence . Maybe NOW it makes sense.
