I stocked some, for the first time ever. In the event that I can't build a coil for a while for some reason. It would be very hard to build if you could only use one hand!

Good point. And when you stockpile what you've built yourself, you know what you're gonna get.

Speaking from the bunker, way past the point of returns.

Good luck. :)

I know; it blows my mind that so many people still cling to pre-built coil heads. A few have stocked a lifetime supply of them, but unless a person is truly unable to build an atty themselves, I don't see how this makes sense.
I have both a set of rebuildables and multiple boxes of drop in coils. The drop in coils are being saved for the possibility I hit a point where I can not rebuild. FOr example I know I am looking at cataract surgery in the not so distant future. So having both around is not a bad plan. Relying on only one or the other might be though.

I've been using strictly rta and rda on squonkers for 4 years.

If I ever have something come up where I couldn't coil and wick for a period, I want a supply of pre-built heads and tanks. I went for roughly 2 years' worth of heads, at my present high ml/day, with a handful of compatible tanks. I hope to never use them, but they provide an insurance policy with plenty of runway for me to quit vaping before I run out.

It's a drop in the bucket for those supplies, compared to the money I save by not smoking [emoji106]

SENSIBLE? Sensible you say?

Okay. But to me, what I am doing DOES make sense. Like I am ensuring I will get to enjoy and continue to enjoy what I enjoy. Etc. That seems eminently sensible.

With that said, I could have Led the Epicureans into a battle against the Spartans and won. LOL. Screw that "This is Sparta' crap, I'd be like, "We are going to win this by getting into a LARGE boat with all the figs, all the goats milk, and all the wine and cheap wimmin (and men) and sail to Australia. Where the inmates were a kind and pleasant folk, simply focused on finding enough fire ants to eat to survive.

Okay maybe not THERE. Although as an Epicurean today I would tell all the Aussies I know that there is a Duty Free Mexican shop where you can buy (and send!) cartons of US made cigarettes or brands anyway for like 12 bucks each, maybe 5 or 6 if like you want to go Full Mexico. I don't know how true that is the kid said so and he had been in there but I declined to enter. As an epicurean, my will is only so strong.

But yeah, if you want to kill something out of existence just start taxing it and keep raising the tax. It will WORK every last time. I bet if we taxed Cat memes enough, the entire internet would eventually be "Cat memes WHA?"

Although @Rossum I suppose I should point out you have not only the right and the duty to like, call out sensible versus not sensible behavior as you see fit. I've kind of given up on that one, but I applaud your... energy. LOL.

Just an option that I have chosen in the event that I am unable to build coils, when I have spare time I make extras and store them away. I don't need anything fancy, so it really doesn't take a lot of extra time or effort to do this now while I still can.
Speaking of making coils ahead of time, does anyone know where to get cheap small plastic boxes to put coils we make into? Like a little bigger than a 4x18650 battery box without the small raised plastic battery holder thingies inside... and clear... you know, with like a hinge and a plastic clasp. Hopefully I am describing that well enough. lmao

I'd probably take a look at a dollar store for cheap ones or Harbor Freight if there's one nearby. Otherwise, a search for "plastic box" and "storage box" on Fasttech turned up a lot of candidates in the $1-2 range.

A opportunity may exist for those who master building coils in the future. I know I would pay someone for coils. I lead a busy life and have a rough time building coils. I can do it if pushed. I dread the time when I have to start building a coil. However, I think I can manage doing simple builds for the berserker and the kanger tech rba. I haven't even looked at the dotmod aio RBA I bought. No time but I have it for the future.

Thanks, I had thought about those, but I was looking more for smaller individual ones, not an organizer. But I might need to go that route if I cannot find what I am looking for.

How about some of these - Very convenient containers to hold small objects (I got them to sort and keep my daily pills for the month/week since they can screw onto one another for storage/take with Ya'):

Morning pills (Holds 19+ pills) :

Night Pills (holds 8+ pils):



Bigger one:

Variety Pack:
A Caddie too:


There are a lot of other storage solutions here too:



Oh - And there is a 40% off code Ya' can use for 1 item too: DECW40

that wasn't what I was thinking about, but those would probably be perfect. Thanks!

The Plano tackle box trays are great and come in many sizes. Available on Amazon or at walmart.
