Stocking Up....how long will my bats & attys stay good when stored?

[LuvMyPV]

Hi there -

I am a newbie at vaping (5 weeks) and am cigarette free in 2010 after 30 years of 1+ packs/day. I have learned so much the members from this site and am so proud to be an ex-smoker.

I apologize if I have missed this info posted somewhere else but here goes...

I have the means financially to stock up on parts and supplies for my ecig styles (4072, 510 & 4075) in the event of potentially less friendly times in the future for vapers in the US. However, I have heard that bats and attys do not stay "good" for very long - say 6-8 months.

I currently have at least 3-4 bats and attys for each of my PVs but would like to own enough back ups to last a couple of years (just in case).

1. If I stock up, will my stocked up bats and attys die before I need them?

If the answer is yes - how long generally do bats and attys last when not used?

If the answer to #1 is no, how long will my bats and attys last if I do not use them but keep them stored until needed?

Thanks again Experts!

I know of no reason why new batts that are stored - keep them in a cool place - I keep mine in the refrigerator - wouldn't last for a long, long time. If they were autos and there was enough noise to set them off occasionally, then possible but manual batts should last quite a while.

Atomizers have shipping and primer fluid to keep them from drying out and if stored in an airtight manner. I use these:
Amazon.com: Lock & Lock 16.5 Cup Rectangular Storage: Home & Garden

There are all sizes - I put the batts and juice in them too. Silicone seal.
I don't put juice or attys in the fridge.

One note from my experience.... you're best ploy against an 'unfriendly environment' is mods because the batteries aren't proprietary. So if you see a mod in your future, then you might not want to stock up on a whole lot of batteries unless you might consider them as an 'investment' and sell them at a later date. I, in fact, will be selling some of my regular batt 'cache' soon. I'm keeping a few regular batts and some manual megas, but that's it.
