    Get the Humbugs Out!

    I'm all about the humbug, but this usually gets me in the spirit.

    Do you see the wholesale prices on the vape gear we buy

    First, vendors aren't selling to break even. It's a business, and if they're doing it full time then you have to consider their wages. Most are pushing well over 12 hours a day, 7 days a week. Also, there's other costs beyond just buying the kit. Website, storage, phone, shipping. Speaking...

    Some juices just harder to draw? Advice?

    Could be the flavouring. I DIY so maybe it's different, but I find my colas give more TH than a fruit or coffee mix.

    Im back

    808's are dandy, tis how I started, though they have terrible battery life. I'd recommend getting a kit that comes with a PCC so you can charge up without being plugged in.

    Nothing more depressing ...

    If you order from out of country, expect a lonnnnnnng wait, not so much CP and more to do with customs. Once it clears it's usually pretty fast. I'd wager some vendors have/are being flagged and their packages are being scrutinized a little more than others. My wife ordered a shirt from...

    So besides Vaping, whats your other profession?

    I be a technical animator and forum F5'er. Work at home so the office is always hazy from chain vaping.

    Game changer? pyrex ss hybrid wick by Scubabatdan

    @cobber, that's the idea, no direct contact with coil removes build up issues.

    Game changer? pyrex ss hybrid wick by Scubabatdan

    Cotton was tested and it works (last time I checked the thread, granted it's been a few days). The time/power used is just in heating the tube regardless of wick type, once it is hot enough the liquid vaporizes no matter how it is delivered.

    Want to know if I could sell some extra KITs here?

    Not here. Classifieds is where you'll want to be looking. You'll have to become a verified member first.

    Shipping speed from China (vs the USA)?

    Maths check out? If you use a 4 week month, 20 business days, 60/20=3. Anyhoo, I don't see much reason to order from China unless you're ordering bulk, then the wait is a non-issue because you'll have enough kit to last many moons. Well, until the latest things roll out...

    Game changer? pyrex ss hybrid wick by Scubabatdan

    I can see these being great for chain vapers, but for a casual puffer it would be counter productive to keep re-priming the tube. Boro tubes should be able to handle the heat without much problem. I mean, they use it for lab ware and the thin walled stuff is subjected to higher temps than a...

    Is this normal for shipping from the states?

    You may end up waiting a while, I got mine in today when it was shipped on the 8th, hit the last USPS sort facil. on the 11th.

    Replacing the Stardusts. What are you using?

    Have you tried rinsing the heads off, paper towel drying the dreadlocks and refilling? Slap it on the twist at 3.2v, the first few puffs will be sub par till it cooks the remaining water off. I've had some heads that have the odd burny plastic taste that cleared up once I washed everything...

    Tearing my hair out over shipping costs

    ESV are local and open to pick up if you want to avoid shipping, they're also at our monthly meetups (Dec 9th is next). Other vendors, while they won't list "mailable" items, will sometimes do it if you ask. They can't guarantee undamaged goods as the padding tends to make it too large for...

    Quick question about boge F16 tank

    Cap hole is 9.2mm, should hold most/any XL carto. It seems the flanged F16 cartos are ever so slightly smaller ID than others. Unfortunately I don't have any ST's handy; but I just measured some other feeds, they're 0.1 - 0.2mm larger (F16 8.5mm, Vivi was 8.7 and HH357 was 8.6). Enough of a...
