Okay. The time is upon us. Im getting really worried now.
The high end little firms i like are beginning to close down.:cry:

These are bad times. Ive got until May to raise some cash.
I like nice things and the money i can raise wont go far when tanks i want are so expensive...

Will the Chinese stuff still be available for a long time or is the shop nearly shut?

Is it Pico and TFV8 time already? ;)

Just kidding... Sad, but kidding nonetheless.
I am using TFV8 tanks and 200w mods as of late and having fun with it.

I am a mech guy and lower wattage vaper generally and stocked up based on that. If the Chinese stuff ever goes away or gets super expensive, I have absolutely no issues with reverting back to my Provaris as well as my Gus, GP, HoH and Nemmy authentics and a ton of my mech clones. Add a bunch of authentic and clone Kayfuns and Subtank Minis, Griffins, Crowns, etc. and I am good for potentially decades.

I'm just kidding. I like to go on like I'm a snob but I don't actually have that much at all. A few really nice bits but I got into things much later than you. I wish I could be a vape snob but I just can't afford it...

No, I'm gonna chill out and just buy maybe another fancy rig and then some more normal things.
I'm thinking that chthulu (spelling?) mtl tank.
Maybe the engine and things.

But man, do I really want Gp to bring out the Heron V3. I think the guys are not really sure whether they can do it or not. Maybe even a spheroid v5 i hear... :eek:

I love my Picos. I have 4 so far but the hubby stole 2. I will keep stocking them as long as I can. Perfect size for my hands, pockets and purse and I don't see myself ever wanting more than 75w since I am perfectly happy between 25-40. Still working on finding rtas and rdas I love enough to stockpile.

I have 11. Does that qualify me for *hoard* status?

You're 1 up on me with the Picos! I have 2 each of the Black, Silver, White, and Pink, and 1 each of the Blue and Gray. I think I've got enough of them though, since I've also got so many other mods already stashed, too. The FDA can go take a flying leap...because friends, family, and I will never have to give up on vaping! :thumbs:

Besides, if something ghastly ever happens to my stash, I'll go back to that thread about "How many set-ups do you have?", and make some deals with people who posted on there. Or, I'll just find a way to figure out where @BackDoc lives. :D

Yep! Got the 2 White ones and 1 Blue one on FT last July. They were $24.75 on sale there.

EDIT: Just went and looked, and they no longer have Blue, but they do have other finishes I haven't seen on most other websites (ie. Red Crackle, Woodgrain, Brushed Silver, Brushed Gunmetal, & Dazzling) in the kits with the Melo III tanks. They also have those finishes in the Pico only, with no tank.

You know what sucks? Living in Indiana and trying to prepare for the worst. I've just started learning about rebuilding, and it looks pretty easy, and thankfully, the local B&M has all the supplies I'll need for that. But as far as DIY juice, I can't order the nicotine, because I don't think anyone will ship it to Indiana. I'm going to start buying everything else I'll need for juice and coils as I have the money, but the nic, I'm not sure how to get that here. :(

Well, where there's a will...there's a way. How about any of these options:

1. Drive to a neighboring state, buy it, and bring it back. They don't stop and search cars crossing state to state borders, that I've heard of anyway.

2. Order it and have it sent to a relative/friend in another state. Then, when they come see you or you go visit them...you've got your nic.

3. Have a friend in another state order and receive it, then ship it to you via FedEx or UPS. You don't have to tell what's in a package when it's shipped.

I'm thinking about 2 or 3. My mom lives in South Carolina, and I can either ship it there and have her send it to me, or she's supposed to be coming to visit this spring, and I could have her bring it then. Thanks for the suggestions, those ideas hadn't occurred to me. :)

There you go! If Mom is driving to come see you...problem solved! I wouldn't have her try to bring it though if she's flying.

You guys seem to LOVE your Picos! (I'm actually a bit surprised I don't [yet] own one.)


Well, I think I have enough stuff to last me until I reach 110 (95 if my brother hasn't stocked up yet). Just picked up a 3D printer and having a ball building mods with it. That said, I still can't break the habit of checking the new products list at FastTech every morning and I will order some more and different control modules. I'm still using the module I put in an Altoids box going on 3 years ago.

Go, Altoids mods.

Which part of IN? I am in Detroit and have a friend/co-worker in Gary that I will probably be going to visit this spring/summer. If you are in that area we could probably work something out for me to bring you some.
