How has everyone been doing? A lot has changed since this document was written.
I have purchased many more supplies (update to this document coming soon). And Republican Party members are calling to move the grandfather date. But what if the grandfather date does not change and the FDA Deeming regs don't change?
Better have stocked up!

I'm pretty well stocked up and it feels good! so since new products are still coming out i have just been getting stuff i want instead of stuff i need
I decided to revisit this document to show where I am in the process. I am pretty comfortable but still need more supplies if I am buying for the 20yr window. A lot of new devices and toppers have come out, yet in no way do they make any of the gear that I have obsolete or less desireable.
What piqued my interest in this document is that I'll be putting on hold any purchases until after May/June b/c I am paying off debt to buy a new car. Since we do not know what the new Congress will bring this kind of freaks me out. After May/June I'll probably make one more big purchase spending another $500 to $1,000 wherever I need to fill in.
I'm getting there. I picked up 4 gallon of pg/vg from Essential Depot for $48 bucks. I think shipping was $28 bucks. Still a great deal. I got 3 pounds of Rayon cotton which will last a couple lifetimes. 20 replacement glass tubes for my tank, lots of wire etc... Should be good for a while 
Need some more mods next

My stockpile is part of my savings account, meaning it's something I don't use. All the hardware is stored on arrival and stays out of sight and out of mind. It's for survival, not normal times. It's the minimum I think I'll need, not everything i might like to have someday and it's not forever because there's no such thing as forever. I still have my every day vaping stuff, 3 mods and 3 rda's, in service. (Who knows, they might last 10 years.) I spent $650. The list is below. It's little enough money I won't feel like an idiot if Trump or the courts or congress come to the rescue, but I'll never trust the government to let me vape in peace.
I found out that our OLED screens have a 10 year shelflife so I'm selling some of my extra RX200s and IPVs. No need for 25 years of mods that'll only last 10.
I got a couple of Coppervape BF kits and REO minis for when the lights go out.
I stocked a fistful of replacement SX350j boards because I mainly use Boxer Mods.
20 packs of Nautilus BVC coils for Mrs M's Provari/Nautilus rigs.
I'll get more BVC coils for her as $$ allow.

Where did you get this information?
But suppose it's true. There is an after market firmware for the Pico's and VTC mini's I'm stockpiling that I believe allows seeing the settings via a computer screen. If that's true I could establish the settings that way and lock the device. Then the only thing I couldn't see that might be useful is the battery indicator. I'm pretty sure Escribe software would allow this for DNA devices. The firmware work around may apply to the devices you mention.

Most of the info I found on Google pertains to OLED TVs.
I did find that oled shelf life is estimated at 10 years in this book from 2013
Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs): Materials, Devices and Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials): Alastair Buckley: 9780857094254: Amazon.com: Books
Here's the direct link to "shelflife" search in that book - Organic Light-Emitting Diodes (OLEDs)
Good info @Fubar1977
My RX 200's and RX 200S's use different size oleds.
My SX350j modsprobablydo too so I think I'll get a few mechs after all.
I'll need freshly charged batteries because I like my dual coil Aromamizers @ .25Ω and my 100+ Crown coils are also .25Ω. I need 3.7v - 4.2v to get useful output. (55W-70W)
Ohm's law @ Steam Engine
Some (all?) mods for that other stuff use 510 connectors now but I dunno what wattage range they provide.

That 10 year thing has to be calculated by how much you keep the thing on for every day. Maybe an OLED monitor used for 4 hours of video a day will "wear out" in 10 years, but it's tough to see how the less than 10 minutes a day the screen on your mod is lit for will kill it anytime soon.
I'll worry about it 10 years from now if I'm still alive and am still afraid to use the mechs in my emergency stash. I'm sure I'll get over the fear with 10 years to keep playing with the Ohms law calculator on Steam Engine to be sure I understand it.

I've now done some reading on the topic and it may be that our oled screens might die in 10 years just siitting in storage. Even if true i suspect that's not the end of the story for stockpiling regulated mods. I'm sure the mod companies buy generic parts, inncluding screens that are used in other applications. They may be buying the screens with stock cable lengths and standard connectors. If that is correct it may very well be that compatible parts will be available in 10 years that fit and work on our various mods. These days it wouldn't be worth repairing a bad sceen on most mods but if mods aren't available years from now it might be worth what ever it takes to find parts and make repairs. We could probably get reliable answers from someone in the electronics repair business.
10 year shelf life means whether we use them or not AFAICT.
A screen went on one of my Boxers the other day but it did bounce off the bathroom tile floor the previous night. It started fading until it didn't light at all. It still fired just fine but wouldn't display. I replaced the board but saved the crippled one JIC.

Damn I need to quit looking at these stocking threads. Have 2 meters on the way because one just isn't enough.
"Shelf Life" ratings are funny things. In general, I take them to mean that the manufacturer is confident that the product will be good for at least that long. In other words, you can park it on a shelf for that long, then install it in a product, and it will still be usable.
What's the rated shelf life of nic base, or PG, or VG? Right, a year or two at most. Yet real world experience has shown that they will remain usable for as long as anyone has has stored them so far (7 years?) particularly if they are stored under optimal conditions.
That said, one of the reasons I vape mechs almost exclusively these days is that I'm confident I can keep them running indefinitely and that there are no "shelf life" issues with them at all.

I did not know abt the OLED screens! Jesh, 75% of my mods have them. Thank you for the information!
I'm still buying, so it looks like at least 5+ more mechs are going to be purchased and an inline voltage dohickey!!!
I got 4 single battery clone mods and 4 dual battery noisy crickets (I still need to order upgrade parts for) but I think I might look into getting a few custom PWM board mods that don't have oled (any) displays. A guy named whiterose on one of the other forums makes some pretty sick looking mods and all his customers rave about the performance.
