@Uncle how fanatical are they? I mean surely just because you’re not allowed to vape in the apartment doesn’t mean they can dictate whether you vape at all, am I right?

Depends on what house rule your breaking - New Owners/Management took over about a year ago and are not fanatical - at least not with "Me" - nor have they bothered me too much (especially now that they brought in a new property manager from one of their other places - I also worked in Tenants Right Org. years ago when I lived in Phila and got a lawyer when I did have problems with the other owners/management), however they have been cracking down on a few other tenants for other "Stuff". AND - No they can't dictate whether or not I can smoke or vape as longer as they don't catch me or personally see me smoking or vaping in my apartment. Like many people who are an alcoholic/drug addict - I'm still a "Smoker" who chooses not to smoke cigarettes and to vape instead - I take it a "Day At A Time". . . . ;)

My mom is at a similar complex here in Ohio. The folks who smoke ca n sit in their cars, some sit outside on the bench in a common area. The manager and maintenance guys see cartons of smokes right out on their coffee tables.

YEP - Same thing here, most of the tenants that still smoke (and vape) do the same now (Honestly,I'll never admit to what I have and/or have not done in my apartment - where I "LIVE" - they will have to catch me first and I will deny I said anything anywhere too ;) ) . . . Just Sayin' . . . :facepalm:

But you're still going to be part of @NolaMel's nursing-home nicotine Cartel right?

No one told me about this place - WHERE THIS HOME YA' Speak OF . . .

i didn't smoke for the flavour. Same goes for vapes (for me. More power to you if you do)

i am another unflavoured vaper with some WTA
occasional menthol, using crystals. And occasional NETs
so, my flavour concentrates should be ok a while

:w00t:

Honestly, I couldn't find the one flavor I wanted or tasted any other flavored I really liked, except for a couple that were 'OK" . . . Absinthe (which I cannot get anymore - the vendor who became my friend and stocked me with the product - died :( ) and a Black Licorice. Finally, I gave up a few months ago to try to find any flavor and started vaping with Unflavored nic w/Menthol Crystal Liquid & Kolada (which I have added to everything anyway) and occasionally WTA (when I can afford it) . . . Thankfully that is what helped me become a fulltime vapor recently . . . Just sayin' . . . ;)

You can use crap and buy 100 of them or you can use good stuff and buy 5 - 10. :)
Define "good stuff," please. More specifically, good MTL RBAs.
As many as they can comfortably afford and have space for ... or until a significant other puts their foot down, at which point a hard choice might be needed ;)
Single, baby! Mine are the only feet I have to fear.

For me, good stuff is Kayfun RTAs. The vape is top shelf and they're built like battleships. If you want to know more, PM me.
I'm in luck, then: I love them. Haven't bought a new authentic one yet, but I've got a couple of used authentic Kayfun 4s (well, one at least; not sure the other is legit) and three EHPro KFL+v2s (two used and one new). Plus a new Russian 91% and a YFTK Prime.

AH - Although storing it in the freezer is out of the question and as I mentioned before - I am more then a little hesitant using 100 mg of Nicotine - that just might be a possibility . . . As you know I live in Florida and the temperature of closets do fluctuate a lot, however I did store flavored e-liquid (10/30/60 ml bottles), that I got back in 2012, in a bin in the closet for sometime (had to throw out a few bottles of course - lost potency/taste & got too dark) . . . So - I will think about that one . . .

You'll only handle the 100 when you cut it down, so not a big problem. I do all my mixing at the kitchen sink, so any splashes are easy to rinse off - and it doesn't absorb quickly, anyway, so you can finish the pour (or whatever) before rinsing. You DO want some sort of eye protection - a splash in the eye is painful! I just wear my usual trifocals, don't feel a need for goggles.

Both are local businesses so I should probably support them.

:thumbs: One of the reasons I split my flavor orders between (usually) Bull City and ECigExpress - they're just up the road from me. (Well, 30 miles or so ;) )

For me, good stuff is Kayfun RTAs. The vape is top shelf and they're built like battleships. If you want to know more, PM me.

:thumbs::thumbs::thumbs:

My "stable" runs to many KF2Ls, and the only thing that's failed in 6+ years is a couple of o-rings. Don't care for the later models, too many parts :) But yep, rugged beasts.

Only thing close that I've found is the Coppervape Skyline. With its provided "air discs" (that are not disc shaped o_O) along with separate air flow control and juice flow, they can be set to draw pretty much like a KF2, or wide open for clouds. (With appropriate single coil, of course.) Not quite as rugged, since they do ship with a glass tank, but at least for now FT has spare glass - and even exact fit poly tubes. Four of those have nudged 4 KFs out of my usual dozen ;)

The clones can be hit or miss (not to mention the moral part of it). Of all the Kayfuns I've had them all but not the V4. That one didn't appeal to me. :) But the rest are fantastic. Currently using a KFL19, Prime, Mini V3, and a V5. I have four setups going at the moment. I place them around the house. :) Still have my Lites and they still crank.

The Kayfuns are the good stuff. Now, if I could make any work. Now that I understand juice flow control (seriously like that took me forever) I feel ready to attempt a clone. If the clone is good perhaps a real one.

I bought 2.5 gallons of VG from Nic RIver, I had NO idea it would come in ONE jug, I am just now getting to the point I can LIFT it.

LOL. It's still going strong after 3ish years of vaping, at room temp, in a box. Now that I use PEG400 it's going even slower.

I am not worried about obtaining VG. Ever. But I will buy in smaller containers. LOL

Haven't actually looked at that one. Managed to stock up on the EHPro KFL2 clones, when everyone was gaga about clouds and they were dirt cheap. Probably have at least a couple dozen. Of course, now they're not around.

Yeah, tried the 4, it's in the vapocalypse box.

I figured the v4 wasn't a hit because it's what people are selling the most on ebay. But this beggar can't be choosy.

Who ever delivered it will curse you to the day he/she/it dies. I bought bullets from Missouri Bullet Company. They shipped their stuff in one of those what ever will fit in the box for a flat rate, well the bullets are 100% lead and four thousand lead pellets are heavy. The local USPS sent me a note telling me my boxes were available to pick up at my convenience, they were not delivering those boxes. I acquiesced, those babies were heavy.

stuck in a squishy pod called my brain
As most here know once I started vaping I stock piled everything in 2s,, 1 for me & 1for my husband who was not vaping at the time. So imagine my disappointment when he went with pod systems! So I have life time x2 supply of hardware. &have to rethink collecting pods ( he really likes the Zero) there was a stick thing from Augvape (???) He liked,, even I liked it,, but it only lasted about a month. Sure I can set up some my gear to "tootle puffer" grade,,, but he is stubborn!

The reason I bring this up is because I glanced over an article about 44pods on the market the FDA wants off the market,,, no surprise as I doubt any of the pods have paid the FDA the ransom to be on the market. Has anyone done anything special regarding storage of pods ? I have even gone to the effort of buying juul rebuildable pods. Juul mods are not to our liking when others offer better battery & universal charging options. ( Some pod systems also use the juul pod)

My vaping journey feels complete,, now I pif stuff away because I don't like to own too much stuff.

What exactly is it that he likes about pods?

Whatever a pod can do, you should be able to replicate with something rebuildable.

Pods are cool for new vapers, but personally I can't imagine being reliant on them in a post PMTA deadline world.

He is just very stubborn

You're lucky.
My Tractor Supply only carries gallons of PG, no VG...:(
Yes, I think she got mixed up as to which one they carry. They carry PG because it's a common dietary supplement and treatment for ketosis in cattle.
