Older Folks and Vaping Front Porch - Part 5

[Kenna]

These have a bar code sticker over da original verify labels.

Not Aspire ... the scratch area is still the same. It's ecig dot com putting their UPC sticker right over the scratch area. Makes it near impossible to remove the UPC sticker w/o damaging the scratch area to the point of not being able to read the number.

I ran into that problem w/ my 1st purchase from ecig. About 'wasted' the 1st one I tried removing the sticker, and worked patiently on the others ... what a pain. But they all verified OK ... just way time consuming to remove the ecig's UPC sticker

Well that stinks!

 

[MikeE3]

Well that stinks!

Sure does ....

 

[2legsshrt]

They used to just use a scratch off film over the number. When did they change to stickers?

Well they didn't change to stickers but what they have done is put a sticker over the scratch off spot and when you remove the sticker it leaves a gummy film over the scratch off part making it next to impossible to scratch off without ruining at least one little number. I have gotten 5 to show authentic but the others are either messed up enough so that you can't read all the numbers clearly or completely gone. I am going to assume which makes an ... out of u and me but will assume they are all authentic.

 

[2legsshrt]

I can't recheck these to know which ones came up authentic and which did not it just says you checked this number before.

 

[2legsshrt]

Are either one of you guys going to contact chat at ecig.com

 

[2legsshrt]

Out of 10 boxes I had 4 come up authentic 2 come up fake and 4 unreadable.

 

[mmsjs5]

I've come up with 4 good, 1 unreadable, 6 left to go, and my eyes hurt. Go for it legs!

 

[2legsshrt]

@Iffy and @MikeE3 contact ecig.com go to chat and talk to Erik and let him know he is going to investigate and wants to hear from any others that have the same problem

 

[2legsshrt]

Also if you can get a pic of one of the ones that showed fake and email it to support@ecig.com. I didn't keep track now I can't recheck them

 

[2legsshrt]

He said he doesn't know why the warehouse is putting that sticker where they are. He is going to check into that also.

 

[2legsshrt]

Their store is in Texas and the warehouse is in OK city.

Apple lawsuit reveals most chargers sold on Amazon are fake
Sew... wut duz this have to do with vaping? Ordered a nitecore car charger for 18650's frum amazingon. Since I have a few nitecore's... this thing looks incredibly cheap and flimsy. Nothing like the couple I already have. Not to mention it's USB but didn't even come with a USB cable.

 

[Myrany]

Call me paranoid but when it comes to chargers I only buy from sources with a solid reputation I know. I just ended up replacing my Nitecore charger with an XTar SP2 from RTD Vapor.

 

[DavidOck]

Yeah, some things are really NOT worth pinching pennies on!

 

[garyoa1]

Point being, Amazinger used to have a good rep.

Deb, did Oliver ever get back to you about putting up a banner for ABL? I couldn't find a response anywhere in your ABL Needs Help thread ...

It's also not clear to me whether folks can promote a locally-sponsored screening, and if so, where. A prominent listing of venues on ecf would be helpful, I think.

He did put up a sticky banner for the film for awhile, back when I asked about it. He had a video msg from Aaron on it too.
I pm'd him last night to ask about at least a thread where showings can be listed, but better yet if possible, a forum where we could have a thread for each state. Haven't heard back yet though. Probably will at least by Monday. I am still not certain what the rules are about it, but have asked on the thread. I am pretty certain though that the promoters don't actually get the 5% I think it's to be donated to a charity of their choice, but I could be wrong, need to look that up again.

I tried the billion lives link, nada for AU. Sure would like to see it, hopefully when we make our visit home next year.

They had a premiere in Melbourne. It won Supreme Jury Prize, and Best Director.

that stinks! But good to know. I'm with Myrany, batts and chargers I only get from a very few vendors.

Oh, My! I made a 50ml bottle of Kaezziel's Aphrodite's Kiss last night. I let it steep in a pyrex beaker overnight in a small crockpot. Thanks @Kaezziel for the recipe. This afternoon I wrapped a set of coils 2.5 ID 8 wraps from straightened 26ga Kanthal and installed them in my Reomizer 8.0. Using CM 521 Tab the coils came out to .5 Ω. While I was at it I used some Noalox and cleaned the contacts and battery for my Reo Grand. The flavor on this is really wonderful. Thanks again, @Debadoo for planting the bug for buying the Reo and Reomizer 8.0. I am getting a stronger hit from the 2.5 ID coil than I was getting with a 3.0 using the same Kanthal. I may have even done a better job of wicking this time. Whatever the cause, I am really happy.

So glad you're loving the Reo and derringer! You're so welcome. It's the best vape I've ever had. I'm using SS316L now, but do 2.5 ID 8 wraps and get .5 also. Much smoother with the SS. I couldn't do .5 with kanthal, too hot and too harsh for me with my fruity juices. I need to do some mixing and make some of the Aphrodite's kiss and the iced lemon cookie.

Since I haven't used any yet, I'm gonna wait 'til I try 'em. My only complaint at dis point is my inability to properly remove da sticker, rubbin' da strip da right way and discerning da mico-numbers.

BTW, got my order of da Triton 1.2 Kanthal Mini coils (thanx Kenna!) today. Will report after an evaluation period.
