I am not sure how excited to be about the deal I just go off eBay - a Provari P3 (black with a lot of wear, but I figure I can slap a wrap on it) and 2 nautilus (not minis) tanks for $75!
That's a good deal. The Nautilus tanks are great and seem to last a long time. The P3 should last many years as well. I love mine. The vape at 20w (maximum) with a 0.5ohm tank is suprisingly great. I generally use mine with a Nautilus @12w. Hard to find a useable P3 for under $100 these days.

I thought so! I AM excited - it's on its way!

Since you use a Nautilus - are you stockpiling coils or how are you handling potential vapocolypse issues for this tank?

Those coils are likely the best selling globally so I haven't worried about it yet. They are literally everywhere. If things get bad, I will likely pick up a bunch of the 5 packs. I only have a few of the Nautilus tanks, so once they die, I will be focusing on my tanks that are rebuildable.

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

Congratulations! I have a couple of kayfuns, but I struggle dreadfully with wicking. I tend toward 70-80 VG, so I know that plays into it.

I have a number of Kanger protank 2s. That keeps me rolling with my pseudo-MTL like the Nautilus offers for me. I've heard the Achilles RDA has a good MTL draw (I prefer arier) and a decent juice well. Check out the Tootle Puffer and Overlooked Tootle Puffer Gear threads (on my phone - tough to post links). Excellent ideas there for other gear.

Hopefully, all the hype of vapocalypse is just hype, but I'm not going to bank on it

That's great to hear. I was at a local vape shop yesterday and they didn't have any "old school" (read: non-sub ohm) coils.

I think online vendors with them are def the best bet.

Also just watched a video of a rebuild for the Nautilus coils - it looks like I could do that! And sounds fun, I think!!

Thanks for the info.

+1

I totally believe this is the case but why chance it when one can be set for a decade or two for nic, tanks and mods for about the same as a month or so worth of smokes?

Plus, even if NOTHING changes, worst case for many of us? We will have a nice supply of nic (DIY anyways), maybe bought one or two extra mods and have some nice tanks and a few extra coils that will be used anyways. No biggie.

Fantastic! Thanks for your info - I will definitely look on those threads! And I'll check out the Achilles - that's a dripper, though, right? But you said it has a good juice well.

Appreciate your thoughts!

Check out this thread Aspire Nautilus RBA Deck by Vvtf
Looks promising for the future. I still have five that I don't use because I make my own now. But this seems really cool. I'd have to figure out how to make a bigger airflow now since I don't like such a tight draw.

Wow, interesting. I'm looking at it now - thank you!

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.
Now, that's determination!

If the agencies of the Government of the United States decides to regulate Vaping which by the way is illegal because only CONGRESS can make and pass laws. Which is exactly what is going on.
Study up on civics and regulatory law. :) The FDA is empowered by Congress to regulate items that fall under their purview, including banning or restricting access to items, without direct Congressional approval. But since the FDA falls under legislative purview and funding, Congress can intervene on FDA actions. This is the reason behind HR2058: getting the FDA to modify the deeming date. And the deeming regs are sitting in the offices of the OMB to make sure that the government has the means to enact enforcement of the regulations the FDA is proposing. There are checks and balances in place; the FDA is not an all-powerful entity they are made out to be sometimes. But they tend to have things go their way more often than not.

    This isn't the thread to discuss the Constitution and the difference of a law and power to regulation a given law. Though if you find a place I'll gladly join in.

    Anyone willing to share how many liters of 100 mg they have stored up?
    Let's just say that the quantity is currently sufficient for my personal use during what I estimate my remaining life expectancy to be, but not so much that I'd be inclined to share it freely, or to account for any significant amount that might end up wasted or spoiled somehow. So I'll probably continue to buy more at about the same pace I have been at for the last two years for as long as price, availability, and quality remain good.

    Ditto...nicotine is too cheap NOT to buy.....:)

    Consider adding it to a portfolio the same as precious metals....;)

    Yet, you are the one to use it as a justification for your beliefs, and that makes it okay. Uh-huh… :confused: Well, okay then.

    Not at all my belief - though like I said to go back and forth would fill up many pages and this is not the thread for it. I'll agree that you had the last word on it and leave at that.

    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 5,3L of 72mg stored in 500mL amber glas bottles plus 2L of 48mg stored in 100mL bottles, topped with Nitrogen. Two more L of those coming my way as well.
    VG/PG 10L of both on the way.
    Math says at 3mg, 10mL a day (which I dont really vape most of the time) it will last ~40 years. I am 37.
