    Was pretty happy with the SID. Until recently, of course. Particularly with a 3 ohm coil wrapped around Ekowool in a Chimbus. What happens is that I am happily puffing along and "wham!" the little sucker is cycling watts. The switch has become hyper/schizo sensitive. What a PITA. Might have...

    Well, I was going through some files and such and found some inspirational things with which I had been blessed.

    Gold Plated Griffin and it's amazing! You won't believe the price.

    Okay, I have been ogling these for a year, back when "The Vaper's Knoll" was called "Vapor.....". They changed their name due to it's controversial but hysterical name. But,they were a $25 dollar item. So I just kept ogling. Other day I got wondering how their re-fit was coming along and...

    An understated DIY vendor worth remembering...

    Ya know, I don't do reviews often, (maybe not often enough) but High Desert Vapes has consistently come through for me and I want to let everyone know.

    Here are some additonal sources for pure nicotine solution:

    I am noticing that Wizard ,RTS, Myfreedomsmokes, ECX and HDV are the "go to vendors" for a lot of us here. I have had some alternate sources so I'd thought I'd share. Of course Wizard is the best IMO, but if ya "gotta have it" and they are temporarily OOS, then: These guys get good reviews...
