Okay...I am curious (as I typically over-do/buy things) What does everyone have in their supply? I saw a thread about storage and WOW some of the pics showed sooooo much stuff in their "collection" that I am not sure what all is recommended to have.

What does everyone suggest having on hand (ie....different e-cigs, juice, other supplies)???

That would just be preference. I have two eGo batteries, an ego passthrough, and 2 regular 510 batteries. It was just a progression though... the 510 was too little, the eGo was great but then they came out with the eGo passthrough sooo....

Some people say they like certain styles for different flavors, some want a huge mod for at home and something that's more cigarette shaped when they go out... some styles have better TH, some make cooler vapor or warmer vapor... lot's of reasons.

I think the most prevalent reason is just that it was a progression... we often have to try a bunch of different ones until we find the one we like the best. My next step is either the eGo tank or a juicebox.

My collection just keeps getting bigger and bigger. I currently have 4 Riva and 2 eGo 900mAh batteries, two different mods with various adapters and extension sleeves, about 30 standard 510 attys, 4 LR 510 attys, 4 LR 801 attys and 4 more on the way, all sorts of DIY flavors, VG, PG, nic juice, measuring equipment, bottles and various batteries for my mods. It's a LOT of stuff! But it's all neatly contained in modular drawers on a desk that has been affectionately named "The Vaper's Paradise."

I would base minimums on how often you plan on making a regular supplies order. Using a "once a month" plan for example and presuming about a week for processing/shipping:

4 batts (need two at any given time, one to use and one to be charging plus a couple spares)

atties: I have heard they last from a few days to a few months - I have only lost one of my original 4 in 3 months.
presuming a 2 week average I would buy 4-5 and reorder as necessary.

cartomizers: last a few days to a week (some get a lot longer) depending on how often u refill. You may not need all of them but I would allow for 10 per month so would have 15-20 on hand.

liquid: YMMV but 3ml per day seems a good average so 90ml per month and would want a 2 month supply, adjust as needed.

Basically I would want a supply that would last (at minimum) twice as long as my planned order interval, just in case of failures or your favorite vendor happens to be out of your favorite item when you need it.

I also over-do/buy things. I have 3 PVs plus two other models' atomizers/carts to make 2 more out of my batteries. I have juices, cartos, cartos, some prefilled cartos, blue foam, more batteries, some unflavored juice, flavorings, charger cables, PTs for emergencies, 4-port 2 amp USB to AC adapter (one for work and one for home). Two PCCs, spare attys. Divided storage box containing about 1/4 of that stuff.

Well I started off with an EGO and enjoyed it alot then I got into dripping which wasnt so bad in fact I liked it till I got the LR 510 atomizer well....AWESOME!!!! holy cow! I get my juice from vapor renu especially the RE4NU now that one is my daily vape i just realized that i cant vape 100% VG for some reason i feel like im choking i guess from all the vapor that VG produces ....and I like alot of vapor so now it's mostly a 60-40 mix of pg and vg .... well back in Nov. I got an OMEGA from AltSmoke so now thats my daily PV on occassion I do the 6v but mostly I do the 3.7 on a LR and that kicks ... .... i guess you can say i can get pretty tired of playing with one PV after awhile:facepalm: soooooo next step Variable voltage..LOL!:laugh: I just purchased an Infinity from NotCigs.com so im waiting for that one to come in cant wait to break that bad boy in hahahaha!!! ...after this im wondering whats next?????:2cool:

Besides having enough to last until the mailman shows up with new supplies, backups are necessary.
For a backup, I went with entirely different batteries, charger, and adapters to fit any atty / carto to
any of my batteries, or PVs, or PT.

This way if there is a catastrophic failure (dog used charger for a chew toy, charger goes bad and takes
all my batteries with it, etc....) I have a full backup system.

When I started vaping, and my poor abused attys were acting up and I was down to my last couple mL
of juice, waiting for a shipment in the mail........ well, never again. :facepalm:

4 - 510 manual batts
2 - 510 auto batts
2 - 750 mah Riva
4 - 650 mah eGo
2- 900 mah eGo
1- Provape-1 w/5 batts
1- ProVari w/4 batts
1- Infinity on the way w/4batts
2 - charges for MOD batts
30 - Cisco LR 306's atty's
15 - LR 510's atty's 10 of them Cisco
20 - standard 510 atty's
5 - Cisco 2.0 ohm 306 atty's
2 - Cisco 801 2.0 ohm attys
35 - Boge LR 2.0 ohm cartos
15 - Ce2 (which suck)
125 - flavors for DIY (mostly 6ml bottles)
1.5 liters 100mg/ml nic
1 liter PG
1/2 liter VG
bottles, pipettes, graduated cylinders etc.

It's not just vaping its a hobby. I will never run out so I will never be tempted to smoke. My smoking was costing $15/day at $10/pack here in NY so I can justify my spending and still save $$$$$$. There are some here on ECF that have almost every MOD so I don't feel so bad

lmao Liv2ski.....Sounds like what I do with my hobbies too.....now out of all those models....how many are still being used?

The Vari mostly. The Provape Daily. The eGo/Rivas for meetings and out and about so they get hit daily too I rotate the batts. The pen style 510's rarely and I mainly loan them out for people to try vaping. The DIY daily since I pound about 10mls/day at 10mg/ml and I like to switch flavors up all day long. Will see how the Infinity fits into the rotation. Happy vapes to you and even if you go overboard at least you end up with a pile of cool gear instead of empty packs and butts. You should see the ski gear collection!!!!! At least this hobby is a fraction of that cost

and what is your favorite combonation?

Don I really like the Vari w/a Boge LR 2 ohm carto at around 4.6 volts for driving then at work I hit standard 510 atty on the Vari w/4.9 volts. On more delicate flavors I will dial it down to around 4.7 volts. Also use the Provape with the Cisco LR 1.5 306's at work.

Hunting, fishing, boating, racing, offroading, shooting..........preachin to the choir; the only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys.....or something like that. LOL. Pretty much figure I can vape all I want and still have money left vs. my analog expense for the other fun stuff.

Right on Don. I tell my wife I could be out getting in trouble and she should be happy that I find constructive things to do to get away from her for a few hours!!!!!

Whatever keeps you smiling and I am sure he is happy to have you shopping for gear and gadgets so he can concentrate on is thing! Remember the person who dies w/the most credit extended wins. Now go out and buy some nice American made Mods.
