OK, new vaper has spent the week researching everything from juices to carts to batt upgrades, and begun that newbie on-line shopping spree I'm sure you all went through. Then I saw the potential for a problem.
While most of the vendors I've placed orders with have been very responsive, one highly recommended e-liquid supplier warned "10-13 days processing". The pass-through I wanted was "out of stock -- check back later" at several sites. Uh-oh. Could I have trouble getting the supplies I need to keep up with my new obsession?
See, I travel -- my SO, three little dogs and I live in an RV and we are on the road full-time. Right now, we're in our favorite winter camp and will be here until late February, but most of the year, we stay a maximum of 6 days in one place, then we're down the road. We don't do a lot of advance planning and rarely have reservations; we just stop when we feel like it. We've been doing this for more than a decade and we have most of the "nomad" problems worked out, but receiving mail and shipped packages is one that just has no good solution. Even if we wanted to pay for express shipping all the time, there's a very small window for ordering from on-line sources when you won't BE here in just a few more days!
So should I stockpile now, while I'm sitting still for the next month? How deep a supply of attys/carts/juice do you veterans keep on hand? And how do you store your supplies? Space in an RV is very limited and I'm already finding it challenging to keep my e-cig supplies handy but safe from little dogs, much less secure for travel. Are there any custom/creative solutions you've found for storing all these small parts and oh-so-chewable squeeze bottles?
And if we do run out of something essential, are there enough bricks-and-mortar sources out there that we can find supplies as we travel? Do you know any particularly good ones that are worth a visit? (We've been known to change our route just to visit a recommended restaurant, so why not a recommended vape supplier?) Any near our current location in Lafayette, LA?
