Maintaining Items In Storage

Now that most of the stocking up is behind us, what would be a suitable procedure for maintaining items in storage?

For regulated mods, keeping them dry is probably all that is needed. But should the sealed wrap be removed to avoid condensation inside?

How about atomizers? I had a problem in removing the cap from a used RDA after it was in storage for two years. Had to resort to using WD40 because the o-rings became adhered to the metal surfaces. I ruined the o-rings in the process. Would it make sense to go through and disassemble/reassemble things at certain time intervals? Should items be stored disassembled? Will o-rings become permanently compressed over time? Maybe put some vg on the o-rings for storage? Or should o-rings be removed? It's already been said that things should be cleaned/soaked before going into storage.

I have one RDA that gets sticky while in use. I remove the cap about once a week, just so I can.

What do you do? What do you think?

Mixing Nic From Different Vendors

Nicotine storage has been somewhat of a hot topic lately, and as I've been evaluating my storage setup, one of the things I've been wanting to do is to finish topping off some amber bottles that aren't quite full of nicotine and have too much headspace for my liking. My question is: would there be a problem with mixing the same strength nicotine from different vendors? If I have a 8oz. bottle with 7oz. of MFS 100mg nic, can I add another oz. of River Supply or Heartland Vapes 100mg nic to it without causing any kind of weird damage to it or affecting the long term storage quality?  

Battery Storage/transport

Looking for any good suggestions on battery storage and transport. I've searched around on here and don't seem to see a whole lot of discussions on the topic. Some that I've seen include medicine bottles (free if you have 'em) and the Krazy Glue storage tube

I loved this thought and found it for $1.50 on Amazon (as an add-on) but looking for other ideas. Thanks!

 

I Got A New Tank From A Friend And It Has Pieces That I Don't Know The Purpose Of.

The Tank He Gave Me Is A SMOKE TFV12 Prince Tank:
And it came with what appears to be green O-Rings (2 of them) about half an inch in diameter does anyone know what these are for? Aside from the color, they look like the ones pictured below. (I know what the white thing is used for it's the O-Rings that I am not sure about). ​

(The manual didn't tell me and I went onto the company website where it said the full manual was but couldn't find it.)

 

The Sparkle Bullet Rda

I just watched a review for this new RDA, and I'm very interested. Has anyone used/bought one yet? RT had issues with the o-rings failing which a cause for concern, but other than that it looks awesome. Lots and lots of airflow options.

Manufactured by Sparkle Technology which appears to the 'authentic' subdivision of Infinite, a well known producer of quality clones.

Features:
12 different adjustable airflow combinations. 22mm diameter. Copper adjustable 510 connector. PEEK internal AFC rings and base for optimal thermal regulation. Engineered to create a vortex inside the chamber. 303 grade stainless steel. Solid three post setup for durability on dual or single coil builds. Posts are squared for even better reliability.

 

The Real Cloudchaser

It ain't me... it's my cat begging me to make O-rings... Then she stares at it like seeing something for the first time and try's to catch it.

I'm a bit worried for her and the pg levels in the juices. I guess we are all "sinners"/stupid/idiots and do something that shortens our lifes...

Perhaps i should buy another tank/dripper with only 100% vg juice, just for the cat... lol..  

Coil Building Keeping Me Fit - Part Deux... With A Question.

So, I'm trying to learn my lesson and when I take apart my Kanger or Nautilus coil heads I trying to drop all the itty bitty pieces straight into a little box so I don't lose them. But then it still happens sometimes... mostly with the bottom pin and rubber grommet which I swear my tiled floor simply devours!

My question is - are things like that sold separately (not in the US please) and if yes what exactly do I search for? A search for rubber grommets on Fasttech only yielded a bunch of rubber bands and o-rings.

Thanks.  

Tfv12 Beast King Leaking

Hello,

I am having a leakage problem with my TFV-12 Beast King. I have been using this tank for roughly 3 years and I have never had this issue shy of leaving it in the car when I run into the store or forgetting to grab it rushing into work. I tend to stick to the same juice at large chunks at a time. I have been vaping the same brand and flavors for the past year or so. I also stick with the same coils, either the T6 or T8. I have also used the same mid for 2 years. This is not just a subtle leak either, it is dumping tanks at a time through the air vents. I have replaced the o-rings all around just in case and still no luck. As much as I hate to think like this, the leakage began around the same time of the release of the TFV16. Has anyone else noticed this issue with their V12 or have any recommendations on a proper remedy.
