    Steam Monkey Product Updates and Discussion: Join the Troop!

    Stock is in. Tonight at 6pm CST The Aga-t+, AGR carto tank, and Ego Twists will be back in stock. I'm digging the new suppliers twists so far, they're just slightly shorter and the top cap, at least on the three I've fiddled with seems to be pretty solid. Hopefully I don't run into the same...

    as you increase wicking material you increase lost efficiency. If you've got a foot of silica in there, just because you vaped what's in the coil doesn't mean every last drop is gonna make it to the coil, it doesn't know to 'go' there ;) it just sorta spreads out. Theres a fair amount of...

    I'm not planning to add any new chinese items. I am however heavily considering taking some of their ideas and creating "better" versions of them, the drunker is on that list :P How funny would it be if America started knocking off china? :p

    *grumble* DHL has my packages but won't deliver them until tomorrow because they came "Economy express" instead of "Express" so they just shoved em in a holding bin for a day as opposed to processing them. stupid shipping companies. So.. yeah, 1 more freakin day. >< Better drop some bombs if...

    anything will eventually leak upside down. T3's should leak less readily hopefully but the coil and wick are still exposed to the air tube that gets the vapor to your face so if that wick becomes saturated enough for gravity to pull a lil juice out of it, it'll still leak. That and condensate...

    I've not run it with silica yet but I've done a cotton set up and it seemed to work pretty good. With the new o-ring top cap it's even better since you can put the airhole wherever you want ;) I will have the aga-T+'s back in stock tomorrow night most likely. They shouldn't sell out in a...

    I've got a good working relationship with the manufacturer :P that's why I'm usually one of the first, if not the first person to have them available for sale. I did a lot of work with them to get some of those changes made to the Aga-T and have been working with them and giving them information...

    Twists are in the air heading to my local distro. Once that happens I almost always get them next day so I should have them tomorrow. I'll be closing the contest tomorrow around 4pm most likely and will post the winners Tuesday after I've arranged all my packages.

    you know, I've got a few vendors I trust, I test a product before I sell it (except the zmax... stupid zmax ><) and if I like it and would use it, I sell it. I price it like I feel it's worth and I don't pull any punches in my personal reviews of the stuff I sell. I don't want money from unhappy...

    Right ;) I've gotten some... lets call em "energetic" emails from what I can only assume were other stores accusing me of undercutting them on purpose when I first started. I don't tend to do that, I do look at my formula generated prices and compare them to market values but only to make sure...

    It'll be after feb before I can get spare tank parts. I'm getting more whole AGRs in but the spare parts they weren't prepared for me to ask for them so they didn't have them and couldn't deliver on em before the holiday. Sorry brother. For future reference: Avoid Spearmint or other "mint"...

    Not entirely accurate lol. I price the vast majority of my items based on a formula I've got that generates enough profit for me to cover my time/effort and to build on my development stuff that I'm working for future items. My formula just happens to put my prices lower than a lot of other...
