I read last night on here that Indiana will start July 1st... other states including mine,idk... my state is impeaching the governor, speaker of the state just went to jail and our chief justice is on unpaid leave and can't practice. Welcome to Alabama!
Alabama is more forthcoming than DC, how utterly cool..

Well I added to my stash my bit today, went and got a mech mod, nemesis, some kicks and short stops so if I have to use a mech, I at least have some safety measures on my side. Hmmm, maybe I should have ordered 2 mech's! LOL

I copied this from a post a few days ago.

There is also the short stop and vape safe fuses for mech mods you can buy, they do not regulate your mod but help to stop a short in it.

The VapeSafe is a one time use, meaning if it stops a short it has to be replaced
On sale for $.99 here
SmokTech Vape Safe

The Short Stop you do not have to replace after it has arrested a short, simply let it cool for a couple minutes before using it again.
and you can find it here for $9.95

I ordered 2 Nemesis and 2 of the Beacons. Always have a back up they say! ;)

I'll be ordering some sort of safety fuses as well. I likely will have to find somewhere to have vent holes drilled in the mechs in the appropriate area.

I picked up 2 of the Beacons about a month ago. The blemished red ones for $10 ea. I had to use my magnified desk lamp to find the tiny scratch. I liked the Beacon well enough, that I have 2 more on the way.

I picked up 8 of the Ehpro Rose Gold Kayfun Light Plus V2s, about a month ago. Quality wise, I found them excellent. I've been using one since I got them and it's working out great.

We decided on similar equipment to stock up on.

The nemesis is the most popular mech ever made.
There are numerous clones. I would only buy a 1:1 clone which will be clearly stated by the vendor.
Why?, go to FDV & view the beautiful top caps, magneric firing systems. A cheaply made mech is like a crappy health insurance policy.
Really like the hicigar 1:1. About 25usd in stainless..

I have all 3. No right or wrong answer.

Latest word is that 100% VG will stay fresh longer in the freezer as it is much thicker than PG. On the other side of the coin, PG is thinner than VG so therefore easier to work with.

I like some PG in my juice, so will generally order 50/50 or just PG. If I did it all again, I might lean towards 100% VG as I have a 20-30 year stockpile.
Most of my nic is in PG. but for my longest storage stash I got it in VG, so we shall see how well it stores long term, I am marking it as use last.

The "latest word" is not based on any science, viscosity means nothing in tightly closed bottle placed for long term storage. Actually nobody really knows what is better - PG or VG. As you said, PG is easier to work with. I was buying my nicotine in PG.

Same. Based on a couple of posts from ECFers that seem to actually know what they are talking about, I will use PG first, 50/50 2nd and VG last. If that is the right thing to do is anyone's guess at this point. :)
