Wow, that's comprehensive, Tommy-Chi! I'm a little more hit-and-miss, but I have 5 provari Minis, 1 provari P3, 2 eleaf 30w, 2 e-pipes, a Reo, and a bunch of cigalikes (from when I began vaping). I need lots more atomizers, and I don't know which ones you can easily rebuild the coils on; I've never tried that. I just got a quart of 50/50 0 nic base, which is going in my freezer in glass bottles. I also am getting some flavorings, but I know their life is limited. Fortunately, bakers and the rest of the food inductry will always need flavorings.

One of the good things about rda's besides being rebuildable is they are simple. There aren't many parts to loose. Scews and Orings are replacable. I'm using one particular rda exclusively since the middle of last year. I own three of them and will get a few more in the next few months. In one of Pete Busardo's factory visit videos he shows a mod button testing machine that is clickina away on some mods. I believe he was told the buttons are tested for 400,000 clicks. The puff counter on my vtc mini tells me I'm past that many clicks in less than 2 years. Hopefully those buttons are good for a million clicks. That's still only 4-5 years. I'm hoping nic will stay good for 10 years. I think it should go longer but that's wishful thinking. There is no forever stockpile. I'll try to buy some time and fight on to get vaping accepted as a way to move the world, and me, away from tobacco.

The FDA threats are political. They don't even try to offer science based justification.

I'm not in the US either. I feel for the folks who are, and I want to know what their plans are.

Yes, quitting Vaping is an option, but I would like to do it on my own terms, in my own time, so if I were in the US I would be stockpiling too, so that I have some breathing room to go at my own pace.

Exactly. I have about 27 years worth of nic once diluted, of course it might not keep that long but for the next several years i will be okay. Its nude nic armor, most of it at 50 or 36mg. 1l at 100. Thanks to various sales over the last year it was 412 bucks for a few liters and the starter mix kit. Great bargain i think.

8 provari 2.5s, 1 P3, 3 auth kayfun lites and a few kabukis. I have about 7 years of nautilus coils in bags in a box. I have one of the new kayfun minis too which is fantastic. I just might get a second. The provari 2s will soon be gone but look out for deals on the blems or just get one of the last (they are being discontinued) - low power yes, but legendary reliability and at 80 or less a pop now well priced indeed.

Then for dripping, 3 hex ohms, 3 provari radius, 2 sigelei 100s (non-tc). 3 vector rdas, 1 revolt and 1 stumpy.

And a bunch of spare doodads in the dripper box.

And it still is cheaper than smoking over 3 years, year 4 and any additional I save about $3300. Considering how i feel better and enjoy this far more than smoking i am happy with the math.

If i end up quitting in 6 months I don't care, but @Duckling is right on the ball.... Want it on my terms. Quit when i want. Stop or taper down. Or make it a treat to vape now and again.

Thread title made me realize................I may have a problem. I have plenty enough Mods to go into my Vape stash..........:unsure:........but every time I receive another one.....:unsure:.....it ends up on my Table topped and running:ohmy:

I must have close to 50 Mods out right now:shock:
:facepalm:

Maybe I will make it to Harbor Freight next weekend for storage containers:D

Nic by the liter, Gallons of VG and PG, Flavorings all stored up. New goes to the back and stock stays rotated for freshness.

...Just think it will be easier for you to buy a pistol or a rifle than vape gear. To me that is scary!...

No need to be "scared", cause that's not remotely true. Contrary to MSM and Gubmint anti-2nd Amendment propaganda, you cannot just "buy a gun off the internet" and have it shipped to you directly, unless you're a FFL yourself. You must pass a federal background check each and every time, prior to transfer.

I bought a hand gun from a garage sale once. Toss it in my truck and drove off. Legal where I was.

I have 4 200 watt mods that are in daily use. The oldest is an IPV 3 (the original with screw on battery door), in daily use since Dec. 2014. The rest are all bought in 2016...IPV 5, Fuchai, and Laisimo L1.

Additionally I have my Istick 50. It's pushing a year old. It's my "away from home" device, topped with a regular old Kanger Mini subtank.

Tanks and drippers in use...a Griffin 22, Aromamizer V1 and V2, a mutation, and a Velocity clone.

In my obsolete stash I've got an Atty 3, a Kayfun 3.1, and a Taifun GT + a lot of spare parts for them. They all work.

In apocalypse stash I've got another Fuchai, another Aromamizer V2, a Griffin 25, and an istick 100 watt. All that stuff is brand new unopened.

In other words, I have more stuff than I can use at the moment. I don't even need 4 mods...I could do just fine with putting two of them in mothballs as well.

Oh yeah... most important of all...I have a stash of 7 510-510 adapters. Those little guys are my friends. They've kept my IPV 3 in service even with its worn out threads.

I have been stocking up for the last two or three years. I have KFL's, Sub tanks, bf rda's, and spare parts for all. So don't need anything there. I wouldn't buy a tank that I couldn't get spare parts for. I have carto tanks, and cartos out the kazoo. I have Provaris, Reos mods, and Poldiacs, all I'll need. Soo, I'm set for hardware.
