Stockpile? I think the thing that should be on the top of everyone's list is a freezer. You can get a mini freezer by Haier - same size as a cube dorm refrigerator - for under 200 bucks. (Check Target online.) You can get much larger 5 cu ft ones for the same price - but if space is at a premium the mini freezer is your option.
Needless to say the second thing on the list is filling that freezer with nicotine and that's the only thing I really need to stock up on. (Bought the freezer last year.) If you don't have nicotine all the hardware in the world is kinda pointless. And if there are no successful legal challenges to the regs (we'll see) you can most likely kiss your 100 mg/ml bulk nic orders goodbye.
I'm not concerned about buying up flavorings because I can get by on unflavored just fine. I'll get some favorites, but not enough that I have to lose a closet over it either.
I'm good on hardware since my main use is Reo mechanicals with rda's. (I have at least a dozen Reo's at this point - I lost count.) Everything is metal, next to nothing that can break there. I'll get some spare maintenance parts. At least with a Reo you can actually get spare maintenance parts.
I'm not putting money into electronic gear. Almost none of if it is built to last a year if you are lucky. Or less if you drop it. Or drop it in the toilet. Or... But a Reo can survive just about anything.
Not stockpiling batteries. From what I have read the resting shelf life is only about three years for lithium chemistry stuff and then they start to lose capacity anyway. And I cannot see how the FDA could reach that far to be able to regulate stock 18650 etc. unmodified batteries as part of a "tobacco product."
Bunch of wire. Bunch of wick. I'm good.
