Anyone have discipline to use incubators just for 10k?

I stockpiled 7. I'm about ready to blow all my gym coins for a mass hatch with a lucky egg and seven day streak followed by a mass evolve. I'm well aware this is not uncommon but if like to ask the folks who do this. Can you really have the patience to wait it out and not throw any old junkers in there?

I do - i dont get enough gym coins (30-40) to do it any other way.

Sometimes having full bag of 5k is too depressing. Though I don't put a 5k in incubators that only have 1 use left. The whole point is to walk as many 10k simultaneously as possible, and if I'm too itchy to get rid of an extra 5 and have enough coins at the moment I'd rather buy a fresh incubator for it.

I do as well, but sometimes, eggs don't drop so I tend to walk a 10km egg even in the infinite incubator if I pick up 8 10km eggs.

Most (near all) hatches are bad so it seems wasteful to me to waste blue incubators on 5km eggs now.

I also keep thinking Pokecoins will be much harder to earn after the gym rework so I am stockpiling all my coins and will only use them during sales/etc...

(Over 4000+ stockpiled now with maxed item and Pokestorage already...free player).

They are not wasteful. Every hatch gives you stardust, so no hatch is a bad one.

What I do is I'll get coins from gyms = buy an egg incubator with it. I'll use 2 out of 3 uses for the 5 KM eggs. And then I'll save the very last use for a 10 KM egg. I usually get an egg incubator every 3-4 days. Usually, I just have one 10 KM egg to hatch. I found the most success doing it this way. And obviously with the unlimited incubator, I use it on the 2 KM eggs first.

The faster you get rid of eggs = the more eggs you get = more CHANCES at a 10 KM egg.

Exactly! Which is why I NEVER stockpile any eggs and incubate them as fast as I get them, regardless of type.

I only used purchased incubators for 10K eggs. All other eggs get the infinite incubator.

All purchased items are from gym coin collection.

I only usually save somewhere between 3-5 10km eggs and then will hatch them all at once.

Currently this is the first time I'm saving up for a full bag (9) just to say I have done it once. I have 8 right now, just need 1 more for 9.

I will say this, I won't be doing this again. It is too inefficient for me, especially since I collect 100 coins a day. I could be hatching more eggs, getting better mons and more stardust if I had incubated the eggs earlier.

It will be cool to hatch all 9 10km at once but it isn't what is best for playing the game. Last time I will do this. Depending on how quickly 10km eggs come I think saving somewhere between 3-5 is the way to go. Also depends on your coin situation. I have more coins now than I know what to do with and I could have been using them for hatching more eggs.

As for using blue incubators I use them on 5 and 10km eggs. I will keep using them on 5km eggs.

Yes. Sitting on 11K coin from free collections plus about 40 Incubators from the Christmas gift boxes.
