Well the stuff will never be as cheap as it is right now.


:evil:

True, but there may be better stuff in the future... I really don't want to stockpile old technology. I know someone who's still holding on to several cases of Kanger T3 coil heads and other outdated hardware--he started stockpiling a long time ago, in anticipation of the deeming regulation. He also has several liters of 5-year old nic base, PG, and VG.

I figure that no matter what happens, we'll have some time, like 2 years, maybe, to decide what to do, no?

From some of the stuff I've been reading in the FDA sub-forum, I'm really wondering if we'll have that long at all. And if we don't, I wonder how long stuff will stay on the shelf and at what price. I really can't afford to buy a bunch of stuff at one time at inflated prices, so I'm stocking up when I see things that will work for my vaping style on clearance or on sale.

I know. It's like trying to time the stock market. :facepalm:

But then, we'll always have China. FT is not going anywhere. ;)

Looks like e liquid is projected to be done the first quarter of 2016. So nic is important to get.

Mech mods are mech mods. No new tech there.

Yes, I just bought a slew of regulated mods. But, I don't HAVE to have better tc that may come about, or have tc at all. So I did it.

I now own:
2 more istick 100Ws
2 more Sigelei 75 tcs
1 Sigelei 150W tc

I will test them a week each, then vacuum seal them and put them away. Any glaring defect will show up quickly, more likely than not.

Why vacuum seal them? To protect the internal batteries?

Protect the wiring and boards from corroding. I have nasty well water. But, you would be amazed what can corrode stuff that's in air besides water. A friend left her tractor in her horse barn one winter and all the wiring had to be replaced from ammonia in the air (urine). And she cleans her stalls daily like I do. So I don't want to chance it. I'm not storing any mods with internal batteries. Those I intend to use until they croak. Then I'll decide at that time what I want to.do with them. You can put 18650s in an istick 50W.

I've already cleaned and vacuum sealed some mechs. I don't want to get them out later and find I need to spend 4 hours cleaning them.

Roxy & Linda.
I've got $100+ in my cart & VapeNW won't subtract the coupon code discount from the order total (and I was logged in).

Ugh! After I logged in I had to go back to view cart and do it. It tried to take me straight to check out. Uhn uh! This was almost $43 here, lol!

In 20 years, you may be one of the last vapers on earth. I don't have any way to vacuum seal anything. I wonder if I can pack them in rice?

I just checked Amazon and they have several different vacuum sealers for under $50.

You can get an inexpensive vacuum sealer from Walmart. Being a single person longer than I haven't been, its helpful for food storage, too.

Yes, I plan to be vaping in 20 years if I'm still alive. I've been researching growing tobacco and extracting nic if I have to, lol! It may not be high quality nic, but if one is desperate...

If your going to vacuum seal electronics I suggest adding a silica packet.

I've been storing mine in the boxes they come in. I'm assuming if you vacuum seal them, you should take them out of the boxes, then seal them with the silica packet?
