This turned out to be a real winner, thanks S+S. Dad has been drooling over a lost vape Therion for MONTHS and asking all kinds of questions about my Griffin builds. I could have forgotten about the Therion if he wasn't always bringing it up on the screen. Pulled up with the laptop like "there's the italian leather woven one, and the ostrich one and they're $84. I'm buying one, you're going to be jealous, do you want one?."

The debate about who got ostrich vs woven leather was tough, neither one could make a call, but he got ostrich because I got nostalgic about my old woven leather shoes I used to have that got so many comments, it was that or a coin toss. Tossed a Griffin in for him, not the best price but he's like "Just put it in, I'll throw a dollar away right now." hahahaha fun to be hanging out with Dad again. And I'm relearning how to motivate him on stuff like this.

That might put us on ice for a week or two. But we're gonna be some seriously styling vapers here pretty soon and I have a feeling a lot of daily drivers are going to become doomsday backups.

The therion is my carry around mod these days. It is such a great mod. I like it so much I ordered a second one. did you get the 75 or the 133?

managed to ignore all those halloween codes you guys posted so I can get my cc's paid down more. not sure if I can do it again come black friday (about as late as I want to push back my china orders to see how 12/31 deeming date shakes out) as I have a few carts loaded up and haven't placed an order for mods/attys in a while.

I haven't bought anything for quite a while except for wire, and some cool straps that stop the wire from springing off the reel. I picked up plenty of gear over the last couple of years. Apart from nic it was almost all old stuff and on sale really cheap. I've got enough to see me through, I don't need to get more of what I already have. Last few weeks I've been looking at some tapered rings that cover the join between a 2.5 Provari and a Kayfun. Pretty cheap from a place in UK. I'm sure they would look great but I couldn't do it. It just feels like that chapter is closed and I should let it go. Rather make the decision myself than go on buying stuff until The Man makes me stop.

What I do wonder is what I would be doing now if the FDA hadn't come along and messed our world up. Would I be happily puffing away on old fashioned gear like I am now.

@englishmick - LokiLabs has rings that they made originally for carto tanks to be used on a PV 2.5. They're not exactly the same as a PV ring sold on their own website (rim on the inside isn't as wide), but they work the same way. They fill in that gap, and are $10 instead of ProVape's $16.95. When I ordered some for house_mouse and for me ('cause Checkout wouldn't work right for her), they had polished steel, brushed steel, the black Cerakote and the Zombie Cerakote finishes. They were originally $20 if I remember correctly. They may still have some of those.

Just got another email from DesertVapes!
A new, higher % off discount code! Good for 35% off almost the whole store until midnight Wednesday.
Code: HHNL35%

Just tried calling them to see what it does not apply to, but they closed early today at 3PM PT. I guess just try it and see if anything you're wanting doesn't have 35% taken off of it.

So, the STM at 35% off would be only $13.62 now!
Other examples:
Kanger SOCC 5pk - PT & Mini, PT2 & Mini, reg. EVOD, etc. = $2.57
Kanger Upgraded DC 5pk - PT3 & Mini, Aerotank & Mini, Evod Mega, etc. = $5.17
Oh such a great sale. Then I realized, nope I have enough of those and those... I passed and decided to buy my hubby a Golden boy 22 mag for Christmas. But I couldn't stand the wait and told him tonight. He sold his other one a few years back when our daughter made some "iffy" financial decisions. I was so excited, it's so beautiful!! He is so happy to have his beloved golden boy back

Good morning :) I just realized that as of today I've avoided smoking 90,000 cigarettes :shock: That's a lot of cigarettes not bought and smoked and a lot of money down the drain with nothing to show for it. Instead I have xrays of great looking lungs and a stash of vaping toys to last me the rest of my life :thumbs:

Congrats. That's a lot of smokes.

This is exactly 450 cartons. A guy got busted with non taxed smokes a while back....

I had to do the math to see where I'm at - about $16000 saved for me and about $8000 for my wife over the last five and a half years. When I consider the lack of medical costs over that time associated with bronchitis and inflamed lungs, the savings is even greater. Suddenly my hobby seems fairly cheap, about $3000 spent since my first 510 package shipped from China. That includes enough stock for at least 10 years ahead.

The FDA can go directly to hell, along with the BP and BT influencers who are trying to steal our health and dollars. They should all be forced to chain smoke while taking high doses of Chantix.

I love the pic because it really puts it into prospective exactly how many cigs I HAVEN'T smoked !!! The sad thing is IF I'd kept smoking I probably would have smoked even MORE then what I was averaging back then. :eek:

And probably wouldn't be feeling as good as you are now. I started vaping over 5-1/2 years ago, and was diagnosed with mild COPD at the time. In this 5-1/2 years it hasn't gotten any worse that I can tell, and my doctor is happy. So there, take that ciggys. :pervy:

Anybody know where I put the white 18650 battery wraps AND the paper insulation gaskets ???? I need to rewrap two of my grandson's batteries and I can't find them anywhere. I've looked twice everywhere I can think of today and they still are missing. :confused: I know I had them since I'm using a battery I rewrapped about 5 months ago. Worse thing about not being able to find them is that I had some more in my cart when I did a small order at Fasttech a few weeks ago but took them out since I knew I had them and in my six years of vaping I've only ever rewrapped the one battery, so figured I had plenty. :cry: Guess there is no such thing as having plenty of anything vaping related. Oh, forgot to add that order I took them out of arrived from Fasttech today. :lol:

I know the location of literally everything vaping related I own.

I wouldn't be able to find my head if it wasn't attached to me, but o-rings, battery wraps, microscopic screws? No prob.

I need help!
