My Stash. How many years worth?

[lobeydosser]

As it says and due to the uncertainty of future developments by various government bodies, how many years worth of e-juice chemicals would the members deem appropriate to stash away to ensure my continued vaping pleasure?

It depends on how long you intend to live vape.

Well when my last order went in, SWMBO's comment was "Do you think you'll live that long!"

Which I thought was rich considering that when I was buying in the stuff for the garden and I said that we could now grow our own veggies for the next 20 years, she made no comment what so ever.

Maybe I had better start keeping a note of how many kitchen knives are still in the drawer!!!!

Dosen't matter about where the knives are...........you have to sleep sometime. Be afraid be very afraid!

Only kidding, I'm sure your other half is a shining example of tolerance and placidity.

My wife's best one was when she asked me how much my vape gear was worth and added "and you better tell me the truth because I will want to sell it when you pop your clogs and I don't want to be under-selling it".

well, I need to get another 3 litres of nic base soon, that plus what I've got will do three of us for 8.5 years-worth of juice, based on current consumption and juice strength. Obviously will be longer as & when nic levels are dropped, but I'd say that's a good starting point

I think I have about a litre and a half? I'm not sure to get more as I can vape at 5mg so 150ml of nicotine lasts about a year, I probably will decide to get another litre ....probably pirate vapes as I want a ready done freezer pack already in amber glass bottles as decanting it last time was a right hassle!

What I have will probably do me on the assumption I may one day just stop vaping, but if I do continue for the rest of my natural life, and/or mix for friends/relatives then I should have more to be on the safe side. I dont want to stockpile massively, we need our freezer for food too!

[letsavit]

Mods about 5 lifetimes
Nic about 6 years
Flavourings about a year.

[lobeydosser]

Going on my present strength of 24mg @ 70/30 mix, I have about 11 years supply.
I would hope that at some time over that time, I would maybe(???) try to cut down on the nic strength,but the last time I tried that it wasn't good.

I need to learn how to coil next.

As for MODs, well I haven't made up my mind yet as to what would be best.

Safe to say that out of all the scares we have had about future vaping regulations, May 2016 scares me the most.

Which is why she sleeps on her own while I sleep with my 2 ferocious guard dogs.

Mods More than enough
Nicotine 2x 100ml in Freezer for me = 2years worth plan to get more 3/4 bottles from piratesvapeuk in the new year.
coils buying a packet each month for Tanks and putting these away.

I am assuming PG/VG and flavouring will be ready available

[piratesvapeuk]

I've got 7 litres in the freezer so far, probably going to have about twice that by the end of May I do vape 20+mg liquid though and have no intention of vaping any lower!

Obviously it is rather easier for me to come by............ there have to be some perks of the job!

how about reducing the nic in very small increments, like 2mg/ml for 3 months or so, and up the mix to 80/20 to compensate for the throat hit? That's how I managed to do it, now on 12mg from 24 but over best part of 2 yrs. I't's one thing I knew not to rush doing, and has worked for me long-term...I was contemplating trying 10mg next mix (which sould be a month or so away) to see how it goes..

[lobeydosser]

I tried that GunJack.

After 2 years of vaping, I went down from 24mg to 22mg and within a week I started dreaming about having a cigarette.

Within a few days (nights) of that I was wakening up wondering if I had actually had a cigarette.

Put the strength back up to 24mg and haven't thought (or dreamed) about ciggies since.

It was very scary that a reduction of just 2 mg's could bring on such a marked reaction.

I guess we all smoked for different reasons and we all now vape for different reasons.
The one thing that I have found out regarding my own vaping is that Nicotine and its effect on me is thee most important factor.
Flavour etc is well down my priority lists.

Before I found vaping, I had "given up smoking many times, I just couldn't stay stopped.
Knowing my reactions these days, I ain't in any hurry to try reducing again any time soon.
