I have plenty of nik, but wish more of it were salt nik. I've gotten used to 16mg at a big 8watts. 2 bags of labo puffs will probably outlast me. lol

Nic, and of course hardware, are the keys. I usually mix to about 18 mg, and vape about 8 1/2 watts, and the box of rayon I got about 9 years ago is still half full, even after piffing a bunch. ;)

Just in case the China thing blows up, I've just ordered a couple more Nautilus GT tanks to add to my stash - I reckon by now I've enough coils to do me for 10 years plus 7 ordinary Nautilus Minis and another six with the latticed cages as well as two Nautilus GTs - this order wiill take it to four of this last. Added to that I've around 6 to 8 Zeniths and Zlides plus a fair ould ammount of Z coils.

Here we darned well go again! Why can't the accursed politicos just leave well alone and content themselves with their noses in the trough?

I do hope you are right but at this point I wouldn't put anything past them. I can see them requiring a special license to purchase vg/pg without the bitter agent. Maybe my tinfoil hat is to tight :lol::lol::lol:
It’s gonna happen with batteries imo.

I've got about all I need, but feel I had better get a good supply of flavors.
I’m worried that some of those large bottles of flavors are going to lose their flavor. They’re probably 3-4 years old now but they’ve been in the refrigerator the entire time. I don’t know if that makes a difference. Anyone know?

I definitely am done stocking up. I stocked up so much that I’m selling half my gear lol!!

But being stocked up doesn’t mean I’m still not buying “special” items lol!!!
You're in a fortunate position! I do know about the "specials" myself!

Say, were did you get your Nautilus GT's. A few month's ago I took 4 of them from my apocalypse stash and started using them instead of rebuildables. I've got about 25 years worth of Z coils but only a few years worth of Nauty coils. I could be looking to get more Nauty coils but I haven't bought anything new for years and don't know where to begin looking for supplies again.

I was just checking for a friend 2 days ago....about Nautilus coils for her. Here'a what I found out:

There are still some US vendors who have the Nautilus coils, but most range in price from about $9.94-12.00-$14.00, per box, not including S/H and the Pact Act $8.00 additional charge. Eight Vape has them for $9.88/box, but for a better price of $7.41/box right now...if you sign up for a subscription to get more (every 2 weeks or 4weeks). You can cancel the subscription at any time. Their S/H isn't real cheap and you do have to pay the stupid $8.00 mandatory fee though, with every subscription delivery. They do have free S/H with more than a $99.00 purchase, but the mandatory $8.00 fee has to still be paid.


OR...if/when the tariff garbage falls through...you can get them from Health Cabin or Sourcemore. Their regular price has been about $8.48/box + S/H (which is pretty fair since you won't be paying the $8.00 mandatory fee US vendors charge). They're sell out pretty fast though when they get more, so you have to catch it at just the right time when they've restocked.

You're the best @JCinFLA ... I went with Eight Vape and the subscription. My last order from them was Aug 2020. I'll probably let it go for 1 more month. Then re-think it while watching the tariff game.

I don't understand the 'sub total' at the end showing 202 items. 12 packs of 5 is 60 according to my arithmetic.

And I did get free shipping. Initially when I brought up the website it was showing free shipping at $79, but the message disappeared. Never did see anything about free shipping on $100 orders.

I took inventory of my Nauty coils before doing the order and have about 450 of them. Another 100 or 200 and I'd feel better, At 78 years old I could be overstocking ... only the Good Lord knows :) I think I bought over 1000 Z-coils back in the day, so not concerned about those.

As of now my feeling is a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush :cool:

The statement about FREE S/H, was in the banner at the top of the page, when I was on their website, and it said, "FREE S/H for orders more than $99.00". I noticed a long time ago that 8Vape's banner info can change quickly though. ;)

WOW! 9 bricks of Nauty coils and you bought more! I think that's the most of them that I've ever heard of anyone having "stashed". :banana:

I went round all the UK companies I'd dealt with before but got no joy - they all came up with "discontinued" or "out of stock" so I tried Amazon UK, of all places, as a last resort and got them there, on a one day service. I've checked the codes and they are genuine.

Peace of mind ... like having a lifetime supply of nic in the freezer. The Lord willing and I'm sill around in years from now I don't want to be looking for potentially obsolete coils. Not to sound too 'right wing' but you'd 'gasp' at my ammo supply. If'n the apocalypse comes our way I figure that will be better than money to barter for goods and food.

@JCinFLA , you have no idea how much you rock. You've helped so many people, including me, that it's staggering. I just want to thank you for all you do for us, presumably all over the world. Like many, I've become complacent over the years that I knew where to get things that have long since disappeared. I still miss Fasttech. :cry:

Mine have been fine for that long (and longer). I'm sure that some will be, and some might not. So far, I've been lucky.

Say, were did you get your Nautilus GT's. A few month's ago I took 4 of them from my apocalypse stash and started using them instead of rebuildables. I've got about 25 years worth of Z coils but only a few years worth of Nauty coils. I could be looking to get more Nauty coils but I haven't bought anything new for years and don't know where to begin looking for supplies again.

I've been getting mine from ProVape (the new, not the old). I'm stocked too, but will probably get more. Nautis and (smaller) BVCs have become my main GoTos. I still have a bunch of CLRs, and use them, but they'll be gone (and I don't feel like building coils any more).

"Are you done stocking up?", they said. To which I replied:
