I trust the Govt as far as I can throw an elephant

I used to smoke cloves and when Obama banned flavored cigarettes. That was it. No more. I bought out the stock locally at the time. It was 2009. I smoked regular cigarettes too, but cloves were a nice treat. I was really upset at the time.

How do people "outside" of town manage ??

Are they reduced to making a monthly drive/trip into town to stock up on eliquids or Nic Bases & flavorings?

How ARE you guys managing who live in States that have already imposed certain restrictions on Online-sales etc. ?

Not talking about the few exceptions who,thanks to "lucky circumstances" ( live in a main town with a good choice of B&M vape shops,live on/near the state lines, have family/good friends nearby who are willing to "help" them out, travel frequently for their work anyway and so on...) manage to circumvent the problem...

I was just thinking about this too. The people who live in rural areas that have no close stores.

That's good to know, thanks! When I bought mine it was between the mini and the evic mini vtc. I chose the kbox mini because I heard the subtank mini was a better tank than the one that came with the mini vtc. Now I'm not getting a kit just the mods. TwoBears also said good things about the evic mini vtc. I'll look into those as well. Because I plan on getting the kayfun monsters and definitely don't want to get screwed into not being able to use those. I really appreciate everyone's advice. It is really helpful.
I have one of the tanks that goes with the Evic VTC but never even tried it because they have such a bad rep here :). The subtank is a good tank, and it may be all you need if you buy multiples but under the circumstances it's better to be more flexible. I had an Evic VTC Mini go bad on me so I'm a little leery. I have two (one replaced by MFS under warranty). I am mainly relying on a small pile of Provaris for the long haul. I have not had the Provaries not "fit" anything but the much less expensive P2.5 is max 14W and minimum 1.1 ohm or so, so they need their own special compatibility considerations.

My eVic cane with the Ego One Mega, and I passed it along to someone who can use it.

I love the Evic.

Update firmware vabd it can fire up to 75 watts.

TGE MOD is made odmetal has the magnets reverse polarized so the door won't go on backwards. It actually smaller than my istick60tc. Dies temp control. Very good ohm meter.

Best mod I ever owned

Anyone willing to share how many liters of 100 mg they have stored up? How long you are expecting it to last, and what mg you currently use? I'm 33, have 6 liters, expect it to last at 22 years at current rate at 12 mg regular and 3 mg sub ohming. I'm debating on whether to buy more or not. Do not want to run out but want to reduce my consumption of nic even more.

I have 6-8 ozs but I went 0 nic two weeks ago yesterday.

I have mine (2 gallon bottles) in a de-humidified basement that rarely gets over 70 degrees even in the in the summer. It is about one cement block over ground level and nine feet underground. I left mine in the plastic bottles, original packaging. The caps are sealed. I don't have PG, I don't react well and so I use de-ionized water. For the water, I use about 1/4 of what others use of PG for dilution.
PG is not my friend either so I found my maximum tolerable level. That's about 10%.
I found distilled water gives a much harsher throat hit than saline. Have you tried saline?
I use 7% saline in my 10% PG mix made with 10% PG-based flavor and VG nic
I use 5% saline in my 3% PG mix made with PG-free flavor (VG/Alc based) and PG nic
Both of those seem to have approximately a 30% PG viscosity equivalent and minimal TH.

PG & VG will always be available.
9 liters of 100mg in amber or cobalt bottles in the freezer.
I'll get another 8 liters of Vapers Tek TH for $200 when the whip comes down before we hear it crack.
Many multi-battery mods and tanks/coils I like in the vapeocalypse box.
A few RDAs & RTAs and associated replacement glass/orings
A few Provaris and Kayfuns if/when the rest croaks.

!!!! Extra nicotine and DIY juice skills are as good as gold to a DIY modder that can't mix juice !!!!

I have 1 1/2 liters of 100mg. I'm at 2mg. However I also mix for my mil and she does 3mg. I plan on getting two more liters.


Thanks for the info. Was wondering if I'm ahead of the game or where I should be now. Definitely do not want to run out, want to quit the nic as per my choice and not through under prepping.

I have not used saline but I have considered it. Do you buy yours pre-made or mix it yourself? If you design your own, how much salt to what quantity of water? I took football chemistry and am mathematically challenged. That is why I say with "10's" for my mixture calculation.

...Rebuildables of varying kinds. The only ones I haven't successfully built have been the Nautilus heads...

I'm glad you bring this up. My personal vapocolypse would at this particular moment include Nautilus coils 1.6 ohms. Dang, I love this tank & resistance!

Would you recommend just letting the Nauti go and learning to do 1.5 ohm single coils in the Kayfun Lite v2s? I like a tighter airflow & am a mouth to lung hitter.

I'm only 28 days off cigarettes but it blows my mind - I NEVER thought it would happen.

But at this point a 14-20watt range with 1.5 ohm and the Aspire Nautilus or the Innokin T18/T22 Prism tanks are keeping me happy.

I'm sold on stockpiling the nicotine, so I just need to figure out a solution for my RTAs (that does stand for rebuildable tank atomizer, right?).

Thanks to all - you've helped me out with this issue of stockpiling quite a bit. <3

Addipak - unit dose vials
5ml sterile .9% solution for inhalation USP

There was an Epay sale of 5 (100pc) boxes @ about $15/ea IIRC
I only bought 1 box to try but haven't replenished yet.
I'm going to look in my saved vape-e-mail and try to get another box now.
Race you :)

Nope, all gone. Here's the selection now - addipak saline | eBay

I'm trying to keep the hoarding instinct under control. There is still uncertainty about what will ultimately happen to products so I'm doing the bare minimum to prepare for a 10 year timeframe that only takes care of me. I will either have too much or too little no matter what quantities I choose. If the axe falls and there is no grace period I'll really only have a 5-7 year supply because I'll take care of my brother no matter what. I'm accepting that possibility. If things get uglier and there's still time I'll double up so me and my brother are good for 10 years. A bare minimum 10 year supply for me fits in a brief case and costs about $500. That's nothing like filling the basement with dried beans and ammo. All that comes down to 3 liters of nic in the freezer and some devices.

Any ideas on a cheaply priced mod that takes external batteries? I currently have a subox mini.
I bought two RX200 for $50 each.
Bought two more when VapeNW dropped them to $40 each.
3 (married) 18650s and more wattage than most sensible people could want.
I have 3 in the vapeocalypse box (after testing them).
I use the other daily and love it.

I am using the same setup and love it. The Velocity clone is a great tank for the $$$ and matches well with the RX200.

I have a second RX200 on the way to me also. Incredible value for $40-ish. Add 3 Provaris, 2 iSticks, a Kanger KBox and a Snow Wolf, about a dozen rebuildable tanks and enough nic to last me decades... I think I am set for many years.

I am not overly worried about Vaping being shut down tomorrow, but I like shiny things and think it is a no brainer to be able to DIY coils and juice. I do think 100mg litres of nic will be very hard to get and/or very expensive once any taxation or access controls are put into place. Nic lasts, isn't expensive, doesn't take up much space and I enjoy making my own.
