The Final Count Down -- Are You Ready?

[NolaMel]

That's great too. Thanks!

Other alternative, Joann’s/Michael’s/Hobby Lobby if you have one near you (also some Walmarts if they have a large craft section). Look where they have bead/jewelry supplies. The divided boxes come in a ton of sizes. Craft stores generally have larger selections and there’s always a coupon.

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

Looks like you've gotten some good ideas here. I've just been using the smaller Tupperware-ish storage containers I already have sitting around the house. Probably not the greatest thing, but it works for me.

Posted this elsewhere but Harbor Freight has inexpensive storage…

18 Compartment Small Storage Container

Versatile little box perfectly neatly accomodates most RDA's inc DT and many small tanks with removable partitions. A wide assortment of alternative boxes. Cheap.

Good luck.

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.

Dollar general has some cheap little boxes in their dollar section. I picked up one that I’ve been storing a few tanks in.

I was methodical figuring out what should be in my stash and stand by what I decided. That stash got done several years ago. I reserved the right to buy more if the risk of supply interruption increased, which it has. So I bought some more nic then some backups for the backups because screens may have a shelf life. That consisted of some protected but unregulated mods, no screens, plus some tanks and several squonk setups incase I ever want that versitility, like long drives in the car.

In the mean time I think Trump has figured out that the war on vaping is the same swamp creatures who've been gunning for him all along. Regardless, shutting down thousands of vape shops could turn millions of voters who vape in to political wrecking balls heading in to a national election. We vape, we vote and we should make sure they fear that.

You could always just use empty prescription bottles.

This is kind of more of what I was looking for (not exactly, but close): https://www.amazon.com/ODOOKON-Rect...9Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

At 2.5cm being the smallest dimension, it should also work for most tank glass sizes too, correct?

I am splitting my stash between my house, my brother-in-law's house and my daughter's house in case of fire or hurricane. So I'd like to not only split up the coils I make ahead of time, but also things like tank glass (figuring these would protect the coils and glass from being crushed in the box with the other hardware, as long as they will fit in them).

EDIT: In hindsight, maybe it will not work for the glass, because I have some for my Hellbeast that are bubble glass which I would use with the RBA insert to make up for the lost capacity... The tank is 24mm, so the glass would come out further than that. Maybe these would work better: https://www.amazon.com/Pcxino-Stora...1M229E47Z0W&psc=1&refRID=E7CFN42271M229E47Z0W I just wish I could see them before I buy them.

I use small plastic bottles and/or prescription bottles.
The cases that a new (single) drill bit come in also work well.
I make my dual core claptons in large batches and store them this way.

@BigPappa - If you haven't already ordered something online for storing your coils, and also your extra glass tubes... please PM me.

Today is December 11th. That means we have:

FIVE months left.

In other news: Yesterday, the Nicopure appeal was rejected.

Given the anti-vaping hysteria we've seen in the media for the last several months, and attitude of the House committee that Zeller testified before last week, I think the chances of any further reprieves are just about nil now.

So once May 11th rolls around, what remains available will largely be a question of how vigorously the regulations are enforced.

If you don't have what you need yet, particularly with respect to nicotine, now is the time. Exposure to high temperatures during shipping is no longer a factor, and I'm beginning to wonder how many vendors simply aren't going to re-stock anything next year.

and I'm beginning to wonder how many vendors simply aren't going to re-stock anything next year.

This will serve to make our timeline significantly less than five months.

And Heartland Vap just started a sale on nic & flavors. Ten dollars off per liter, starts NOW!

As an officially old lady, I just use washed out margarine tubs. Sure, you can’t see what’s in them, but I have decades of experience at guessing.


Sometimes I do make up a few extra coils since I already have the stuff out and a mess in progress. I like those little round things drip tips come in. I just write the coil specs on them with sharpie.

But making the coils is the easy part - for me. If something comes up I might not be able to install them. Like my shoulder, I know I couldn’t do much when I had surgery on the left one, and I may need to have the right one worked on soon.

I kept at least a dozen RBAs ready to go this year as I was busy with my sick mom, and if I need surgery, I’ll calculate how many I’ll use while I mend - I have a lot in stash, I’m sure they could last 2-3 months.

But it’s easy to prepare for what you know is coming, or could come. The unexpected is what I worry about. I live alone. I don’t have anyone I can teach to get my gear running for me.

As we get closer to the End, distributors and wholesalers Aren't going to extend Net-60's and Net-30's. Things will become COD.

And when the Majority of Uniformed Vaper's understand just what is going to happen, there will be Run on popular items.

That's something to think about. If there's a flavor ban with a 30 day warning it could get brutal. And once the juice was gone the shops would close. For hardware there might not be much warning for the currently complacent masses. If vendors really are running down their stock then it could be rough towards the end.

Dont worry about the stragglers, fence sitters, late comers and lollygaggers, theyre not your problem. At this stage its every person for themselves.*

Yes and no. I've been after my neighbor to get stocked up. If he doesn't, guess who he's gonna mooch from?

 

[hittman]

He can only mooch if you let him.
